vestment in generating machinery is eliminated. The fact remains indisputably true that the taxpayers of Richmond did not erect the utility to supply neighboring towns with electricity. The plant was constructed and is maintained to
serve Richmond primarily. If there is surplus!
current and this can be disposed of to distributing companies, the policy should be one of protection for the city first.
Crima Waves
The Liberty Light and Power Company
The contention of the Liberty Light and Power company that, as a consumer, it is in a class by itself and ought to be exempted from paying the new rate, was effectively answered by the city. The company's officials said that it paid all
transformation and transmission charges, which; the consumers of Richmond do not do, as this Joss is borne by the municipal plant. Far outweighing this contention, however, is the fact that the taxpayers of Richmond have .$800,000 invested in the plant, that no taxes are Collected on this investment, and that the worry of the management of the utility rests with the ity. ! The Liberty company does not have to concern itself about the deterioration of the plant's machinery, about the necessity of purchasing Hew equipment, about the retirement of bonds, jand the hundreds of details that demand attention to keep the plant in an efficient state. The company buys its current at the switchboard. So long as the city is able to supply the
current wnen needed, the .Liberty company s
main concern is to see that the current reaches its patrons in the towns which it serves. It has too money tied up in the form of an investment to generate electricity; it need not take into account depreciation on generating machinery, nor Wonder if it -will have enough money to replace Wornout machinery with new equipment, j In fact, the Liberty company is in a decidedly advantageous position financially as compared with a utility that both generates and distributes electi'icity, for its investment is confined solely to distribution, and the heavy in-
The Dayton News, commenting upon the many unsolved murders committed in the last six months, scouts the idea that "crimes come in waves" and insists that authorities must make a
more intensive study of crime than they ever have previously. In Chicago, where heinous crimes siem to be
the order of the day, the newspapers believe that an abuse of the pardoning and parole powers is partly responsible. They are urging judges and juries to deal harshly with criminals found guilty of attacks on the lives and property of citizens. If the criminally inclined class are confident
of dodging the just reward for their evil-doing and of escaping the full penalty of the law, they wax bold. Housebreakers, yeggmen and stick-up men impertinently go about their work, knowing that they will be able to beat the police in case of capture. Rigid law enforcement is a mighty deterrent. No crook rejoices over the pr6spect of a long prison sentence. If he knows that judges are not moved by mawkish sentiment when law hreakers come before them, the criminal will

a wide berth. Efficient police protection mustji
be backed up by effective action in the court room. But the crime wave that has swept over the country has not passed by Richmond. Repeated housebreaking jobs and many misdemeanors
show that criminals are working in our city. If j drastic action is really a curb for the evil-doer, speedy conviction and a heavy penalty imposed upon the first violators should teach others of.
the same class the folly of persisting in their ways.

v , YOU NEVER KNOW. The big happenings of the world, as n rule, are not planned affairs. Many of the details are most of them, in fact. But the great event itself Is a sort of happenstance taking its cues and course from a combination of things. As you grow, and learn, and work, It is your "bents" which tell you the way you ought to go. But you never know where they are going to lead
you. It's the mystery back of all possiInlites that drives us on. You never know what time Is goingto unwrap for you in fame or fortune. Hut of this you may well assure yourself; if you keep doing definite thing?, and keep doing them efficiently and well, and never lose faith, or courage, cr your sense of proportion it won't matter what, the big event spells out: for you, it will be well worth working 'nd waiting for. And it never pays to give tip for :you never know just WHEN some : seemingly small event may be used as a pivot around which all the important leubsequent affairs of your life will iievolve. ; There are times in the life of everybody whether great or small, poor oi 'rich when everything looks dark. ! But you never know what is going to loom up soon maybe in great glory after the clouds have rolled away! i So "don't give up the ship'." Stand rby your guns. Be patient. Things take their turn at strange times and Sunder surprising circumstances. Your neighbor or best, friend may take little note of you as you go thru this day. But on some tomorrow the "Whole world may want lo know all about you. B -cause you may be just the ono most needed for some Important task. ; You never know!
