Public Spirited.

l.. A, Bunker who last summer
built a nice fence around the little
park on First Street East, or rather
allowed the city to. do it and paid the
bill for H. has made u donation OF
$500 to the public library fund,
Nor Is this the first time that Mr.,
Bunker has donated to the library,
1t Is showing commendablc spirit
and one that might well be emuIatcd
by other Of our prominent citizens,
Perhaps also 1t indicates something
Of a prosperous state Of Mr., Bunkcr'S
affairs, The men who will donate to
such purposes when they are not
doing well is most exceeding small,
and as Is well known, the number who
are prosperous and donate, is not

Saturday. Rev. Louthcr is also the

Christians, but is one of the best stu

the State. Arrangements were made
for him to deliver "A lecture in this
city in the near future at the Old OPP

tan socialism. Whoever hears this
lecture will learn something. Even
those who may think they under
stand socialism, It's definition and

Y NJ. 0. A,

There have been efforts made at
times for II year or more, or ever
since the revival Of last winter, to get
u Young Mems Christian Assoacla-
tlon organized here. State Secretary
Baird, Of Topeka, has been here sew
eral times, and ut various periods II
was thought that the matter was on
the verge Of success. But the inter
est would then lag and the prospect
pass by. Now Mr.. Baird has again
made start and has arranged for n
meeting to be held here on Sunday,
the 10th of this month with the oh
ject in view Of pushing the enterprise
to a finish. At this meeting Mr., G.
W, Mcclure who Is represented Ia
be an able mdn in such an occasion
will he present and also Governor
Stanley. Both are expected to do
some evangell2ing The evangelizlng
will be principally In the form Of
financing, for it is the failure to raise
the necessary subscriptions that has
held the work back, 1t will require
considerable money to carry out the
plans of Mr.. Baird which include the
paying Of permanent secretary, the
maintainance Of reading rooms, bath
rooms and a gymnasium.

1901 Marriages.

The probate Judge Of this county
issued just three hundred and eight
marriage licenses during the year 1901.
This means that six hundred and
sixteen people, male and female were
married during the year unless some
few perverse or yacillatlng ones
changed their minds before the jol
was completed. 1t is impossible tC
estimate the number Of outside pco-

SALT TALK.
Tho Trust Is COiiIng Tho Best In Some Plaool
and not so We'll In Others.

The Topeka Herald few days ago
printed an article dated at SILT Lake
In which the trials and difficulties Of
the small independent salt companies
that operate In the inter-mountaln
country are set forth, II claims the
trust Is commencing upon an arrange
ment which will drive them out Of
the field entirely. II further says that
the Hutchinson plants also furnish
competition that is injuring these In
dependent companies In the same ter
rltory, Whether the company here
usually known as the trust Is 0perat-
Ing with the companies called the
trust In the Salt Lake country Is not
stated, but the inference Is that II Is.
Here Just now II Is stated by some
who ought to know that the indepen-
dent companies are rather getting the
better OF the trust The dealers over
the country prefer when they can get
as good terms, To trade with the In
dependent dealers, These concerns
also have been quite actively In the
field with their travelling statesmen,
and rs the trust has apparently
seemed to think that Its big cOnsoll-
datlons OF Il year or two ago and the
renting Of most Of the free plants,
that they would not have any very
serious competition, and have not
made any war on the smaller fish In
this territory, II the little fellows
succeed In working up a good large
trade and take enough business away
from the trust to make 1t feel It SER
lously, we may then expect to see n
fall In the price Of salt and compc-
tltion that will do for them what
1t did II few years ago and what
the trust Is evidently attempting and
doing in the Salt Lake territory.

profits. AS an example: A little over
a year ago we reduced our power rate
from 25c per kilowatt hour to the rate
at present in vogue, Ice per kloWatt
for the first 100, kilowatts, and thence
on a sliding scale to SC per kllowatt,
depending upon the quantity used. We
further extended a cash discount of D
per cent on all bills paid at our ONCE
by the 10th of the succeeding month.
That this policy was correct one
has been clearly demonstrated from the
fact that January LIST, 1901, we had in
stalled and operating upon our service,
1857 horsepower in motors, while at the
present date we have $40 horsepower,
and have under order 40 horsepower
additional which we hope to have con-
nected within the next two months,
thus giving us a total of $50 horsepow-
er. 1t goes without saying that our
income from power has been greatly
increased and that the consumers have
in nearly every instance expressed
themselves entirely satisfied that the
rate is an equitable one.
PRESENT RATES.
At present our rates are fiat rates in
accordance with our franchise, and a
uniform meter rate depending upon the
quantity of electricity used. The fiat
rate is entirely inexcusable and know
of TO other business where a commidity
is delivered on a fiat rate unless it is
the Chinese vegetable vendor who sup
plies vegetables at SO much per week.
FLAT RATE OBJECTIONS.
They are not suited to all classes of
customers, and a long-hour consumer
pays less than the cost, and a short
hour consumer more than the cost OF
the service he obtains. The cost to a
customer with large number of lights
installed and a small consumption is
prohibitive, and as a rule the installa-
ton is curtailed in order to reduce the
amount of the bill; a rigid inspection
is required to prevent an increase in
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1902-08-19
the number of lamps or candle power
of lamps, and fraud is encouraged.
ARGUMENT IN FAVOR OF UNI
FORM METER RATES.


/ This system of rate permits of simple
office records; the income is constant
and can safely be anticipated and the
fixed charges of the plant are assured;
no investment for meters or expense
of meter reading and repairs is requ1r-
ed. Easy calculation can be made upon
the capacity of the distribution system
and a comparative freedom from dis
puted bills is insured.
Uniform meter rates would probably
be better. although they are not suited
to all classes of customers, for short
hour consumer probably does not pay
the cost he occasions, while long
hour consumer may obtain other serv-
ice more cheaply. The rapid1ty with
which bills increase in the winter also
gives rise to dissatisfaction and an OPP
portunity for dispute between the COM
pany and consumer. They encourage
| a large use of the current during the
| heavy lighting hours and discourage
! the liberal use of current for long
hours.
/ In order to make rate equitable to
all classes of customers constant ad-
justment, more or less arbitrary IN
character must be made. An argu-
ment in it's favor, however, is that a
simple system of Office records is re-
ouired and a comparatively small in
vestment is necessary for measuring
apparatus
| From the above it would appear that
neither of the above systems OF rates
is equitable to the consumer and they
tend to discourage rather than encour-
age the use of current, and it does not
seem desirable that we should adopt
either system.
