Poor Proposition for City At first sight it might appear that the proposition of the city's purchasing the property belonging to and at present occupied by the Dickinson Trust company on South Eighth street for $25,000, for a municipal light plant office, is a good one. The building, which is a very excellent one, is centrally located with regard to the business district, for Richmond fortunately is fast getting beyond the stage of being a city with but one business street instead of a modern business district. Closer analysis, however, of the suitability of the building for the requirements expected of it as the uptown office of the municipal light plant, as well as of the future requirements of Richmond in the public building line reveal, we believe, many defects in the proposition. In the first place, Richmond is beginning to awaken to the fact that its continued and steady expansion is rapidly causing the present city building, from the standpoint of space and location, to become antiquated for the growing demands of the city's business. In other words, it is only a question of a few years until Richmond will have to join other progressive cities of our country in building a new, business-like, up-to-date city hall. This being so, it would be far better to wait until the time is ripe for a new city building before buying a permanent location for the municipal light plant office, because wnen the time comes for the new city building, provision then could be made for devoting a portion of its space to be used as the office of the city's light plant.

mentioned above aside, however, there are still more reasons why this would be a bad proposition for the city to enter into. In the first place, there are so many public improvements, such as permanently paved streets and a better sewer system in the business district, where the expenditure of $25,000 would result in far more benefit to the citizens of Richmond than if it were used to buy this bank building. In the second, place, this building, as its name indicates, was designed for banking ; purposes and the mere presence therein of an expensive vault, together with luxurious bank furniture, does not mean that it would make efficient quarters for the municipal light plant office. The contrary probably would be true, as such a proposition smacks entirely too much of father's trousers handed down for son's knee breeches.

It might be argued that the Dickinson Trust company location would still be a good purchase, as answering the requirements of the city when it came time to build a new city hall. This, however, hardly seems true as the lot in question would not be large enough and if this difficulty were overcome by buying in adjoining property, the city would-have paid entirely too much for what it had, owing to the necessity of scrapping as good a building as is now there. Putting such considerations as have been

It is argued in behalf of the proposition that Che city would save the $55.00 a month rent it is now paying for its present light plant of f ice and by investing an additional $2,000 in a bam to be erected on the rear of the lot, it would save an additional $64.00 a month rent for stabling its horses and mules. This reasoning, however, is fallacious. The city would then have a total investment of $27,000 of the citizens' money, money which in the hands of the citizens earns interest and pays taxes. Inasmuch as the city is but the collective name of all its citizens, this proposition would simply be of the robbing Peter to pay Paul class, as the citizens would be out of pocket in income and the city, besides becoming a speculator to the extent that it might not be able to rent permanently the two upper floors, would, with the township, county and state, lose in taxes. a Besides, the present office quarters of the

municipal light plant appear to be sufficient for

all present and immediate future needs. Therefore, and in view of the reasons stated above,

The Palladium gladly joins in upholding the hands of the mayor and the board of public works in urging council to see this proposition in

its true light and not encourage any further con

sideration of it through giving it any further

attention. We feel sure those members in coun

cil who have been inclined towards favorable

consideration . of the proposition have been actuated by a praiseworthy desire to save money

for the city and its citizens. In our estimation, ' is a

nowever, tney nave iauen into tne same error

that so many business men make who believe

that ownership of property automatically caus

es rent to pass out of existence. This is a very

common mistake and is due to the lack of a proper understanding of basic economic laws. Rent is immutable and as such is always paid by the occupant of a property, regardless of ownership,

or the occupant's customers.

Gall For Activity Herbert CasBon Asks Causes of Country's Lethargy at This Time.

BY HERBERT. N. CA6SON. What Is the matter with the United States? As I have been residing in London since the beginning of the war, I have been bearing this question asked on all sides. I have never head any satisfactory answer. No one seems to know. Why are the American factories not running night and day? Why are the railroad not opening up new territories and getting ready for the millions of immigrants who have already made up their minds to leave Europe as soon as the war Is over? Why are there not fifty American drummers in London right now. trying to sell $200,000,000 worth of American goods in place of the goods that were bought last year from Germany and Austria? Why have advertisers become quitters, just at the time when their advertisements were most needed and most effective in cheering on the business forces of the United States? , From the European point of view, the United States is a haven of peace and security and prosperity. It has no troubles that it dare mention to Belgium or Austria or France or Germany or Servia or Great Britain or Russia. Every tenth Briton has. enlisted. Every tenth Frenchman is at the front. Every tenth Belgian is dead. What does the United States know of trouble? If I could afford it, I would charter the Mauretania and Lusitania, and convey a party of 5,000 American advertisers to Europe for a trip of education. I would give them a week in London, a week in Paris, and a week in Antwerp. - I would let them look at the United States from the scene of war. I would give them a look at real trouble. I would let them see trains, ten at a time, five minutes apart, packed with the maimed and dying. I would let them hear, from fragmentary survivors, the incredible story of battlefields 150 miles wide, and armies that are greater than the entire population of Texas. I would let them see graves 100 yards long and full, and Belgium, the country that was, nothing now but 12.000 square miles of wreckage. Then, when they began to understand, to some slight extent, the magnitude and awf ulness of this war, I would say to them : "Now go back and appreciate the United States. Realize your opportunities. Don't start digging trenches when nobody is firing at you. Don't fall down when you have not been hit. Don't be blind to the most glorious chance you have ever had in your life. "Go back and advertise. Get ready for the most tremendous business boom that any nation ever bad. Build your factories bigger. Train more salesmen. Borrow more money. Go ahead, and thank God that you " are alive, and that your family is alive, and that you are living In a land that is at peace, at a time when nearly the whole world is at war."

and dull misery In the kidney regi tn

it generally means you have been eating too much meat, says a well-known

authority. Meat tonne uric acid y

wnicn overworks the kidneys in weir effort to filter It from the blood and they become sort of paralyzed and loggy. When your kidneys get slugglst and clog you must relieve them, like you relieve your bowels; removing all the body's urinous waste, else you have backache, sick headache, dizzy spells; your stomach sours tongue is coated, and when the weather is bad you have rheumatic twinges. The urine is cloiidy full of sediment, channels often get sore, water scalds and you are obliged to seek relief two or three times during the night. Either consult a good, reliable physician at once or get from your pharmacist about four ounces of Jad Salts: take a tablespoonful in a glass wf water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This famous salts Is made from the acid of grapes and lemon Juice, combined with llthia, and has been used for generations to clean and stimulate sluggish kidneys, also to neutralize acids in the urine so It no longer irritates, thus ending bladder weakness. Jad Salts Is a life saver for regular meat eaters. It is inexpensive, cannot Injure, and makes a delightful, effervescent lithla-water drink. (Advertisement.)
