The Elkton Electric Light and
Power Company has decided to in
crease its capital stock, as authorized
by its charter. Exactly so. They
always do. Water! When Baker
had completed the gas light works of
Elkton, he added $4,000 stock,
about the cost of the works and
called it 'common stock" and sold
this water stock to who ever would
buy. If the state, county or mu-
inequalities took a firm and sensible
hold of these natural monopolies
as Prof. Ely very properly names
them, there would be no swindling
of the public by water stock, but a
percentage to reimburse first cost and
running expenses would be paid and
that would be all. When repairs
were needed an assessment would be
made ON the users, similar to the
assessment by a mutual fire Insurance
Co. No loose money lying round to
steal under such q system. No
artificial persons called corporations
erected by the state to rob its
citizens.

visit to his friends in this vicinity

are strict members of the denomina-
ton of Friends and will not do any
work Tor government war vessels.
Their employees are treated with
almost parnetal care, and if COM
plant is made by them the wrong is
Immediately looked into and If there
appears to be reasonable grounds for
the complaint, it is Immediately
righted. On one occasion the mill
boss had ordered acme of the hands
to cut a lot Of iron which they con-
sidered was not In their turn and
they appeared before one OF the
projectors who was acting manager
OF the business and notified him taey
bad struck" The manager inquired
the cause and when told be replied.
No. that Is not your work, but cut
the iron this evening and the matter
shall be righted tomorrow" The
men eheerfully did the job ct the
proprieior's request, knowing that he
would see to il that they shouldn't
be imposed upon in future. There
are no strikes at these mills nor
would there be at any Others IL greed
did not reign in Place of justice and
a Kindly interest In the welfare of the
employees on the part Of the employ
ers.
