The City's Stake If all patrons of the Richmond City Water Works were clearly to understand what is at

stake in the present hearing being conducted before the Public Service Commission, they would await with the most eager expectancy its outcome. Whichever way the Commission decides will mean dollars in or out of their pockets. The Public Service Commission is empowered to fix the rates at which the company may sell its water. The basis for this rate fixing is the actual valuation of the plant. This valuation is determined by what it would cost to replace the present plant by a new plant. The all important thing, therefore, is that the company be not permitted to inflate its valuation a single dollar. Every thousand dollars of added valuation means just that much more for the public to pay for its water rent. If, to use an illustration, the valuation should be fixed at $1,100,000 and if the company is permitted f dividend on this valuation, the city each year would be compelled to pay for its water $6H.000. But if, on the other hand, the valuation should be fixed at, say, $800,000, the city's charge would be but $48,000. This means a difference to patrons of the plant each year of $18,000. From this it can easily be seen how important will be the decision of the Public Service Commission. And this decision will probably stand for many years to come. Even if in ten or fifteen years another valuation is made, the Commission will then use this present valuation as its precedent. It is of the utmost importance, therefore, that the Commission make a fair and just estimate of the plant's valuation. There are three or four issues on which there will be much debate. Perhaps the most familiar of these is that relating to service pipes. As everybody knows, some of the property owners pay for the pipes that bring the water from the street main into the house and yet the water works company demands that this amount of money be added to the company's valuation, a contention which .seems to us most unreasonable. The company also demands that the amount necessary to replace the street paving over all its

mains be added to its valuation. But perhaps the most perplexing problem will be that of "going concern value." As with every private business, a public utility corporation loses money during the first few years of business; a loss which is due to many obvious causes. It is the custom to allow the corporation to charge this in as a part of its capitalization. The Public Service Commission will very probably permit the company so to charge its own initial losses, but the company is determined to estimate this loss as if it Mere now to begin its business over again from the bottom. In other words, it goes on the assumption that if it were to replace its plant today, the "going concern value" would be about three times what it was wrhen the plant was organized twenty-eight years ago.

exempted while London shippers are made to pay, the latter are made the victims of discrimination. Nothing can be plainer than this. And it is difficult to understand why, for the sake of subsidizing a few shipping companies of New England, any congressman would advocate the danger of rupturing our friendly relationship with England. It speaks well for President Wilson that he is willing to violate his party's platform in order to cancel the exemption clause in the Panama Canal regulations. There are two ways open to him, either of which should be acceptable for the time being. One is proposed by Representative Adamson, who advocates compelling our American ship owners to pay tolls for two years as an experiment. He believes this would be sufficient time to determine whether income from other sources

would be sufficient and also to adjust diplomatic relationships involved with other countries. The other is to strike out the exemption clause for good and all and place our American shippers on an equality with foreign shippers. It is clear enough that exemption is merely a form of ship subsidy. Not to charge a toll is the equivalent of giving the same amount in money. It is difficult to understand how it is possible that the Democratic Party should in one sentence of a section in its platform have vigorously denounced ship subsidy and in another sentence of the same section have advocated toll exemption. Perhaps the wiseacres in the Democratic camp were somewhat confused by the great battle raging in wThich Bryan and Champ Clarke were bringing on one earthquake after another. While the President believes that a bad resolution is better broken than kept and is perfectly willing, through loyalty to the interests of the country at large, to be disloyal in this particular

instance to his party, other Democratic leaders'

are not so disposed. Representative Underwood, leader of the House, and Representative Kitchen, the most influential member of the Ways and Means committee, have both denounced President Wilson's change of attitude and declare they will either perform his bidding with extreme reluctance or oppose him outright. Smaller things than this have served as an entering wedge to separate the President from Congress and no one need be surprised if this question may turn out to be the little rift within the lute which will make all the fine Democratic music jangle somewhat with discord. At any rate, it will serve as one of the severest tests of Mr. Wilson's leadership.

Representative Adair last night spoke as follows to the large crowd attending the Knights of Pythias Golden anniversary celebration: "I am glad to be here for two reasons.

Tolls

From the very first it has been the aim of Congress to make the Panama canal self-sustaining. The plan was to have all users of the great waterway pay their equal share for the privilege. It goes without saying that so vast a project cannot be made a paying concern during the first few years. In fact the authorities believe ten years to be a reasonable time in which the canal may become self-sustaining. But in order to suc.ceed in this, it will be necessary to levy a toll on every vessel passing through the locks. This is one reason the Democrats' plan to exempt all American coastwise shipping from paying toll is wrong. If they do not pay their just share for using the canal, the people will be compelled for many years longer to carry the burden of operating it through taxation. Our coastwise shipping will carry anywhere from four-fifths to nine-tenths of all the trade that passes through the big ditch. If there were genuine competition among these carriers, exempting them from the tolls would mean lower rates. But as things actually are, these various shipping lines fix their rates by mutual agreement and their figures are always all that the traffic will bear. Therefore, if they were exempted from paying canal tolls, the money saved would go into the pockets of the private owners of the ships and would not benefit the public at all. On the contrary, in proportion as the owners benefited by the exemption, the public would be burdened by it because every dollar going into their profits would be a dollar out of our taxes. This is serious enough in itself, but far more serious is the question of the Hay-Pauncefote treaty. According to this famous document, we agreed with Great Britain that there would be no discriminations in favor of any nation in the use of the canal, but that all would be treated alike. It is manifest that if New York shippers are

vanceraent of our nation, the rapid

progress or science, the wonderful attainment of art and the vast improvement in literature has been stimulated and aided by the establishment of a truer Friendship, a more liberal Charity and a purer Benevolence, and that the order of the Knights of Pythias has been one of the leading factors in the establishment of such principles.

we claim the work we are doing is in

The scientific world has sprung from the cradle of its existencet to its present state of development since the birth of Pythianism. Such rapid progress and higher civilization has done a great deal toward the betterment and elevation of mankind. But it remained for the order of Knights of Pythias to establish degrees of friendship, charity and benevolence which will correct the wrongs that selfishness and hatred have fastened on our social life and develop charity and brotherly love for our fellowman. Growth of the Order. "With this purpose in view the banner of Pythianism has been planted on

j every hilltop and in every valley from

the pineries of Maine to the orange

groves of - California, and from the Great Lakes on the north to the Gulf on the south, and has always kept pace with the progress of the nation, i "We love our order because of the splendid work it has done in the ele-' vation of mankind everywhere. We j love it because of the lessons it teaches and the good it has accom-1 plished. We love it, too, because the requirements for membership is not based upon wealth or position or upon : cast or class, but because it is based ! on true manhood.

What Order Must Do. "In order that we may be faithful and successful in carrying into effect the teachings of our order, we must bave a full comprehension of its aims and purposes. We must cultivate a spirit of self-sacrifice and be willing at all times to come to the aid of those who need our help, and if necessary, bear their burdens. To a member who is a Knight in spirit and in truth, membership is a continual joy. It has been said by another, that no man has ever really lived who has not blessed others. He may have existed.
