the city has more power, has better
credit and can give a better service to
the entire community in the long run,
and make more profit ont Of it than
any private company.
The lighting sytem works in the same
way. The lower the rate made to the
city by the gas or electric company the
more the private user must pay. Both
the water and light service could be
taken as a burden off the taxpayers oI
the city, could be reduced as a tax on
the business man and home owner, and
could be- made source Of revenue b,
the city.
We are not saying that our water ser
vice, gas and electric light service is moi
now well managed and as good and Al
little Of bureen as can be expected un
der the private corporation system. Blu
we do believe that the water ano
light service could and should be con
verted into source of municipal rev

A Few Questions Propounded to Superin-

Is il not fact that recently while the

what H. thought to be- hog cholera, that
animals were killed and served upon the
table for patients upon showing the first
symptoms of disease?
Is II not fact that cows, steers and
bulls, too old and tough for market are
unloaded onto the asylum.
IL II not true that some old animals
upon which operations were performed
have been killed for beef before the
parts hal healed aud while the animals
were still ieyerish and liable To never
recover from the effects of the operation
IL il true, rs stated, that when beef is
bought cash Is paid for it--and the sci
Ter h required to sign ayoucher in blank
before receiving his money
IL IL not also fact that these animal'
so bought are fed and iattened a.

COST OF RAISING WHEAT,

A level-headed farmer at Lewisburg,
Marion county, tells us II costs 10 cents
n bushe 10 raise wheat. This surprised
us az we had been under the impression
from talking with some city Of Salem
farmers, who do the business from in
front Of roll top desk that II could be
produced for about 25 cents bushel ON
a from Of say 200 acres.
The Lewisburg farmer only grows
about twenty acres and gets 20 bushels
10 the acre and II may cost him 90 cents
10 grow wheat, that Is labor and all that
goes 30 make crop. II fhe figured only
cash outlay II wouldn't cost that much
40 he wonld not he out $500 TO produc,
400 bushels In fact, beyond the casl
value Of the seed lac IN probably OH
nothing but taxes, time and threshing
The farmer who owns his farm, who
has saved out seed from former crop
who does his own work, who has 1
binder, can with one or two boys put ~
several hundred acres Of grain. but /
will cost more than 20 cents bushel
A Salem firm who had a mortgage ON 1
crop had 90 take IL 10 satisfy the bill
They hired Il harvested, threshod an'
hauled 10 market. The crop paid th,
bill Of expenses they incurred within =
and II was fair crop.

for 20 cents bushel was clearly of hi
reckoning Possibly the share he 20
