that the city might make money, re-
sulting in no benefit whatever to any
individual citizen. The other is u
great public necessity, growing every
day more imperative, bearing in its
train better health for the citizen,
greater beauty for the city, protection
to public and private property, and
the prosperity that follows the loca-

aside preconceived ideas, personal
preiudices and pride of opinion
which shall we choose?

ADMINISTRATIONS AND PRIOEs.

Every intelligent farmer knows that the
prices OF farm products are regulated by
supply and demand and not change of
political parties, c. II. p. IN Humboldt
Herald.
OF course it is the relation existing
between supply and demand that
regulates the price of products and
not change of political parties. But
suppose u change of parties results
IN vastly increased demand for pro
ducts? What then? There was just
twice as much wheat consumed in
the United States in 1892 as in 1906
And there will be nearly, II not quite,
twice as much consumed this year
NJ there was in 1895, for the simple
reason that there are two or three

not give days additional work to
any laborer. The plant is already in
and the $4,000 voted by the city
would simply 20 into the pockets of
the present stock holders, and not a
dollar of it into new employment.
The purchase Of the plant would not
improve the service nor lessen the cost
of the gas. Neither would it con-
tribute in any way to bring more
capital or new factories to lola be-
cause the city cannot lawfully con-
tribute anything in the way of IA
bonus TO II private corporation.
The construction of water works, on
the other hand would Immediately
give employment to scores of lola
laborers and mechanics. There
would be miles of trenches to be dug
stone and frame, buildings to be con-
structed, heavy machinery to he haul
ed and placed-all tod probably S20,-

Water works would make II sewer

sanitation of the town. 1t would sup

would be the most powerful factor
within our reach in persuading fac
tories to locate here. lola has missed
getting two or three large factories
this summer, as every member of the
Commercial Club knows, for no other
reason than the lack of water works.
These factories alone would have
been worth more to us every month
than the revenue Of the gas plant for
o year. And we will keep on losing
factories until we get water works.
Can we afford it? Is II good common
sense to exhaust all our credit in buy
ing something which we already
have and which will not give days
labor to any man, when for the same
price we can have something that
will be the direct means of giving
employment to hundreds of men?
Those who want the city TO buy the
gas plant argue that the revenue from
this plant would pay for the water
works. But how about raising the
money for the first cost of the water
works? Does any sane citizen be-
lieve that lola can borrow $4,000 to
buy the gas plant and then right
away float another loan of $4,000
The proposition lie too unreasoDa ble
to merit consideration.
1t must be plain to every thinkiag
and reasonable man that lola cannot
buy the gas plant and build water
works at the same time. We must
choose between the two. One is =
speculation, pure and simple, having

THE BUSINESS MEMS VIEW.

On another page of this paper a
majority of the bushes men of lola
have expressed their opinion on the
gas question. The reporter was in
structed to take them rs they came,
and to take down what they said
regardless OF the eide they favored.
Fifty.one men we're thus interviewed,
and it will be at once acknowledged
that they are fair representatives Of
the business interests of lola.
or the finy-one, one is non-commit-
tai, eight are in favor OF the bonds,
and forty-two are against them.
Is there not tremendous signif-
canoe in the overwhelming prepon-
derance of opinion thus adduced ?
When tive.sixths of the business and
professional men of lola regardless of
party unite in supporting one side
of a public question, is 1t not pretty
sure TO be the right side? If 1t were
any other question on earth would
the people even dream of siding with
the eight men ag ainst the forty? The
REGISTER does not for moment inn
pugn the motives or the honor of the
eight men; but is it not fair to assume
that the Judgment of forty men is
worth more than the judgment of
eight men, when all are equally
honest?
No one will deny that the forty.two
men who are quoted as against the
bonds, represent in the aggregate a
very considerable majority of the
wealth of lola. They are thus the
heaviest Taxpayers and the most
largely interested in anything that
would tend to advance the price OF
property or extend the trade OF lola
II the purchase of the gas plant
would be a good thing for lola, if II
would lessen taxes or advance prop.
erty or extend trade, these mon are
the very ones who would reap The
most benefit. Is not the fact that
: they are all against the proposition
I the most conclusive proof that in
their judgment it would not do any
of these things? And 1T would moi
/ advance the interests of the large
= taxpayer and property owner, is II
conceivable that it would help the
small Taxpayer? Must not any
policy which hurts five-hfths OF the
business men of the town also hurt
, all the rest of the town?
: A studied effort has been made tC
! weaken the Influence of the REGIS
TER by the reiterated assertion-ut
terly without foundation in fact, -
that it was the paid organ of the Gas
e Company. We acknowledge that il
affords us considerable satisfaction t
be able to quote so large majority
OF the business men of lola in supper

1t will be hardly charged that al
these men are paid for expressing
: their opinion. Read what they hav,

A new and powerful apparatus has
just been completed Icy Prof. John

penetrating power Of the X-ray.
The apparatus consists of series of
Franklin plates, or Leyden jars, sup
piled with power by storage battery
containing 10000 plant cells, The volt
age necessary for experiments is $500

Prof. Trowbridge has already made
experiments which prove thet with ap-

can be made to penetrate no. only hu'
man flesh but also bones and tendons
thus probably making possible still
more remarkable attainments in sur.
