TIE WATERWoRKs.

The city and the waterworks com
pany have at last approached for the
first time a business attitude in connec-
tion with the waterworks question.
In reply to the city's offer of s55o,0O0,
the company has agreed to take $650ooo
for the property.
The councnmen seem tohold divergent
views on the subject. OF course, they
are anxious to secure the plant for as
low a price as possible. This is com
mendable, but that must be practicable
as we'll One councilman thinks it viii
cost $3.50 600 to put the plant in good
order after it is secured. This is rather
strange in view of the fact that several
of the aldermen have maintained that
an entirely new plant could be con-
structed for less than s5o0,000.
Another councilman hopes that we
may be able to secure a reduction of
rates Another one says he would be
in favor of granting new franchise if
the rates were reduced 25 per cent. A
number of the city fathers appear to be
ignorant Of the fact that the city water
works people know that they are charg-
ing the people Of this city at least 20
per cent more than they ought to
charge.
The city passed an ordinance five
years ago reducing the rate 20 per cent
The waterworSs company was practi-
cal1y ready al that time if peace could
be assured to put a 20 per cent reduc-
ton in force, but the city adopted 4
policy Of endeavoring to drive the COM
pany out Of town first and settling with
it afterwards. The city has failed in
every step Of its litigation and the citi-
zens of Topeka have been paying the
entire expenses of this whole litigation
both sides.
The company makes no secret that it has
refrained from reducing rates for the rea-
son that they are compelled to pay their
attorneys to fight for their side As the
city is constantly at large expense to
maintain its own lawyers and special coun-
sci on this question, the real beauties Of
the situation are apparent.
why not submit this question to an arbi-
tration committee composed OF one man
selected by the company, another by the
city and a third by the two with the un-
| derstanding that the price set by the
arbitrators is to be paid by the city and
accepted by the company, and that the
price must be not less than the city's offer
nor more than the company's proposition?
This constant litigation Is what is cost
ing the city annually thousands Of dollars
directly for lawyers fees and indirectly
| for exhorbtant water fees. With this
[ enormous and constant expense a large
number of our people are also kept with
out water for household use or fire protee-
/ tiOn.
If the company and the city would agree
to arbitration Of this kind the State Jour
/ nal is satisfied the water fees would be
| reduced at least 20 per cent and at once
| The city should not forget that the present
owners of the water works company have
! invested in the plant in cold cash 1880, GOO.
They aer trying to save what they can.
/ They paid too much for the plant, of
course, but they have some rights and
have troubles of their own.

TARIFF MUST STAND.
Conclusion Reached After Con-
ference at the White House.

Washington, June 3.-The conference
held at the White house last night was
discussed today by senators and mem
bers Of congress as having an impOr-
tant bearing upon some Of the leading
questions of legislation. In an authorl-
tative quarter it was stated that the
tendencies disclosed at the conference
against any revision of tariff schedules
applied only to the present session OF
congress and was due to the belief that
it would be inexpedient at this late day
in the session to enter upon an impor
tant financial dicussion OF the tariff
schedules. AT the same time, 1t was
said, there was no determination that
the Dingley schedules would stand in
definitely, but rather await the next ses-
sion or the next congress before con
sldering how far new conditions war
ranted a revision
AS stated by one Of the gentlemen
present, there was no disposition mani
Tested to hold the Dingley rates as sa-
cred and beyond power of revision. Some
division of opinion was developed as to
what schedules should be touched and
also whether the congress elected next
fall should be LETT to deal with the sub
1ect, or the next session of the present
congress should take it up. 1t was
brought out in the discussion that the
men of strong protection views, like
Senator Platt of Connecticut, Hanna Of
Ohio, and Mr.. Dalzell Of Pennsylvania.
