The Republican favors the absorp- tion of the local water plant by the city at a fair valuation. To absorb it now would be an economical move. This fact will become patent to the taxpayers when they once begin to study the question.

WATER POWER AND CRY PLANTS.

City Electrician EllicOtt has given
the position of those members Of the
board of sanitary trustees who are Op.
posed to leasing to II private corpora.
ton water to he developed along the
canal. Mr. EllicOtt says the power for
which the board Is offered $4,000 u
year IL worth from Si50.OOO to $780,.
900 u year ut least to the city for cleo.
tric-llghting purposes. The municipal
lighting plant ought to be enlarged
The cost to the city for horse power
with Its present plants. Mr.. Ellicott
says. Is about $50 per horse power.
Under more favorable circumstances
afforded by u large plant the cost Of
developing power he estimates would
he not less than 500 per horse power.
That being the ease, water power bc.
longing to the public and soon to bc
needed by the city, ought not to bc
disposed of to Il private corporation for
q long period of time at figure mucl,
below the cost of power to the city.
That Is not good business policy from
thu taxpayers point of view.
The more this question of water
power Oh the canal II studied the more
clearly apparent does It become that
haste In dlspOslng of the power would
bc very reprehensiblc. The board can
very prOftably give Its time In the I'M.
mediate future entirely to the problem
Of getting the canal ready for use,
leaving The water.power question for
settlement after mature delibcrat ton
The board should bc very careful not
to tie the hands Of the people by hasty
action. The last municipal campaign

candidates for Mayor became commit.
ted before election dry to the policy
of municipal ownership. Il IN indica'
ton Of the grent popularity Of that
policy. Just ns the people IRE getting

that he will accept the position only

CHiCAGO'S PATRIOTISM.

That Chicago Is patriotic has been
demonstrated not only Ivy words, but
deeds. It is an old proposition that
money talks" and Chicago has talk
cd cffcctually to the extent of ST.
OoO.0OO In the way of paying war taxes.
II may he alleged that there is no
merit in the paying of this great sum
of money. because such payment Is OBJ
ligatory. hut the patriotism and the
merit exist in the fact that Chicago
meets the emergency without making
u sour face over 1t.
Chicago stands second on the list of
cities In providing funds for the spe-
cinl expenditures made necessary by
the war. ana Its only superior in this re-
gard Is Greater New York. which by
taking In "all the land adjoining" has
succeeded In keeping first place.
The man who drinks beer has proved
himself the greatest patriot. for out of
the s7.OOO,OGO paid by Chicago to help
carry on the war against Spain 3d..
100000 came from the tax on beer.
But out Of all this enormous total the
express companies and the telegraph
companies have not contributed one
| cont.
With grecdincss of the most impu
dent character. these institutions have
forced their patrons to pay the taN
which Congress expected the compa
MES to pay. and In this matter all citi
zcns have an undoubted right to regis
ter most emphatic protest.

THE DRAINAGE CANAL WATER
POWER.

The concern which II attempting Ia

II man named Clarence buckingham,

In developing the power, and would
have the board believe that at the end

II will become the property OF thu
board. Mr.. Eckhart. however, says
that this Is not the fact. He explains
that the interest upon the sum pro
posed To be invested will he SI5,OuO u
year, while the net income TO the beard
will be but $4,000, which would leave
the board indebted to the company al
the rate of S25,O00 year. That any
one could entertain such IN irrational
proposition rs this seems remarkable
to Mr.. Eckhart. The first proposition,
submitted by Mr.. Buckingham was, 1t
says. even worse. II proposed to spend
$4,000, 900 TO develop 10000 horse-pOw
or, to pay the board $35,OOO year fol

would have left the hoard indebted Il
the company to the extent OF $oo,W'

"Yes. the boys were hard hit by the

The law students hill defeated Mon
day ut Springfield was known as the
Campbell hill, which, under the old
laws. admitted them to the bar after a
course of study of two years, prOvid-
ing they passed the examination.
The defeat means that the students,
