II will be observed by those who
read the letter in the last issue of
the TRIBUNE that Mr. Matthews
uses exactly the same figures, as to
the alleged cost, that We're given
by Prof Parsons What the cost
was before municipal ownership in
these cities, We do not know, but
inasmuch as the progress of the art
of electric lighting has greatly
cheapened the cost of production
during the years intervening since
the figures quoted by the champion
of municipal ownership, will as
sumo that the figures given may be
correct. but the figures given for
the cost after the advent of munich
pal ownership are, as shown by the
report of Mr.. Matthews, entirely
Incorrect.
The conclusion drawn by the
writer of the aforesaid letter. is:
1T thus appears that for the first
six years at least the Elgin plant
was a profitable investment for the
people of that city" What the
people of La Junta want is an in
vestment that will be good not for
six years. but for sixty times six
years something that will not fall
down on them and be a dead loss at
the expiration of six years. some
thing they need. and something that
will help the city as a city without
tearing down any of the industries
which we now have. The quota
tions from the Dubuque paper and
from IAN exchange contained in
the article referred to in the
TRIBUNE. attempt to show that this
failure of the Elgin plant was due
to dishonesty and incompetency in
the city council and in the men who
had charge of the plant Precisely
Mr.. Taxpayer. politics got in its
work on the Elgin plant just as it
would get in its work on La Junta
plant. if La Junta had one. and as
il has done sooner or later in almost
every municipaliy-owned electric
lighting plant in the United States.

possib,s-''
have yet to find an advocate Of
municipal ownership who does not
admit that the plant ought to be
run under civil service rules in order
to make success of it. Would it
not be well enough to rig up the
civil service end of this proposition
first and put it into effect on the
water plant before we invest any
more money in proposition of like
character? Civil service in La Junta
is long ways of. The only civil
service we will have in La Junta for
some time to come will be. you
help me get elected and will help
you get job"
The Elgin plant has been sue

operation of the young physician
was a success. He said "the
operation was mighty successful,

dead in Elgin. Ill. Why not give it

The country is awaiting the decision
of the Board of Review and Eqniliz-
alton in the matter of the protests of
the property owners against the last
assessment of property in San Juan.
The letter addressed to the Treasu-
rer by the President of the League of
Proprietors, as the result of the repre- :
sentative meeting held in the Spanish
Casino, indicates very clearly that the
protest is energetic and commensurate
with the magnitude of the abuses per-
petrated against property, as we'll as
the right which the proprietors, who
have been made the victims of the
unheard of disregard of the admins
tration, have to defend their interests.
The proprietors base their protests on
astounding evidence, which condemns
the stupidity of the modus operandi
of the acolytes of the Treasurer, and
which the latter countenanceS and
approves of even in extraordinary
cases. such as the apprajsements made
by an underling in condition of inc
briefly; absurd appraisements, valua-
tons in every sense false and wor
thless, and, nevertheless, upheld by
the Treasurer, in virtue of law Of
which we are in ignorance.
Before everything else, question
of vital importance has been raised.
which it is of paramount necessity to
have decided and made 11nmlstakably
clear.
Are there, or are there not, any
guarantees for property? Is it possible
that this shameful travesty Of annual
appraisements, carried on by men ig
norant and vicious, stupid and con-
temptible in their motives and in their
procedure. shall continue7
Now we will know whether it .is
possible for class so respectable to
be at the mercy of the caprices of
congregation Of functionaries which
might be said to have been formed for
the purpose of liquidating portorican
property and taking it from their leg
itimate possessors.
11ow it will be clearly defined whe-
ther the law authorizes the Treasurer
every year to launch against the coun.
try his myrmidons. who SO far as OBJ
servation indicates, are charged with
the work of preparing for the public
sale of private property, and to bring
about sooner the problem of subsis-
tence. increasing the value of the
houses of citizens to a price which is
frankly alarming. And we will also
know, if it is proper, if it is legal, to
make assessments in the manner they
have, without regarding the declara-
tions of the owners, without taking in
to account the sworn statements they
have made.
AS an exhibition of insult to citi-
zens, disregard of law and ridiculous
proceeding On the part of so called
administrators, the course pursued is
without precedent.
What idea of the sanctity of an oath
have those towards, who deny it all
truth and are practising, in virtue of
their caprices, fantastic valuation
What do they understand by
sworn statemnt, what importance do
they attach to an oath, what value has
God in whose name they swear?
And if it Is merely to comply with
