"The first book agent that shows his
face in here will be tossed into the
street" said a city official yesterday
of them.
This man had a nerve that should
have got him a fortune in early life.
He dug up a sample of books from a
pocket in his coat, and after he had
finally taken my order inquired about
my financial abilities. Finally he ask
ed me whether l had a bank account,
and when 1 protested that it was none
of his business he declared that he
would get the information, and in a
way that would be distasteful to me.
He had my order on the installment
plan in black and white or l would
have kicked him out on the spot. The
experience, however, was worth some
thing to me, for l learned never to do
business again with a nervy book

THE WATER EXTENSIONS.

Considerable hot air Is being turned
loose as a result of the teapot tenn
pest arising from the policy of the To-
peka water commissioners in main
tanning the present water rates few
months longer and using the profits
thus secured in making some greatly
needed extensions to the city water
system.
The money thus expended becomes
part of the permanent investment,
of course. and it will result in increas-
ing the revenue Of the plant without
much of an increase in the cost.
But one opponent of this plan says
it is grossly wrong to maintain excess
sive water rates and use the profits
to extend the plant, yet this opponent
also insists that it is right and proper
for a railroad company to take part of
its profits, in addition to its regular
dividends, and use them for perman-
ent improvements. on which It is en-
titled to additional profits and divi-
dends-
The State Journal believes there are
two sides to both these propositions.
It is inclined to believe that a railroad
company has a perfect right to use its
profits in permanent improvements
and. that It is then entitled to divi-
dends on such Improvements, but the
road should not charge unjust and ex-
cessive transportation rates in order to
make these improvements.
This paper is also inclined to believe
that it would be unjust to make q
regular thing of extending the water
system by means of big profits made
off of the present water users. But the
extensions must be made and there is
no other way to make them at pres
emit It therefore appears to be good
business policy to let the plant con-
tinue to make a good profit for few
months longer and to thus complete
the extensions
The really just way would be to
make the people who are accommo-
dated by the extensions pay for them,
but this can not be done at present.
Slight injustice viii be done in the
end, however, for by extending the
system many additional customers
will be secured and they will pay their
proportion of the cost of the entire
plant=and the sooner the extensions
are made the more they viii pay. So
it is good business sense to extend the
plant with the profits.
This does not mean that the water
commissioners should not equaIize
the rates as between all consumers
as rapidly as it can be done. There
should also be a reduction in the rates
as soon as it can be brought about
reasonably and judiciously.

UNTON PACIFTCs EARNINGs.

In the midst of this discussion con
corning railroad earnings and dividends
and similar matters which are now
talked about in Kansas, some remarks
Of the Wall Street Journal concerning
Union Pacific finances, may afford food
for a few side reflections. It says:
The question of the hour is: How
long viii the Union Pacific be able to
maintain a 10 per cent dividend on its
common stoek2'
The payment of this dividend calls
for SIG. 500. 790 per annum OF this
amount 81, $40. 600 is to be divided out Of
other income and the remainder. about
s11,760.000 must be earned in net by the
Union Pacific Railroad company's lines.
There is here very subtle distinc-
ton. Under the prevailing policy in
American railways. the Union Pacifc
railroad would not be justified in paying

We notice there is some talk of

head as candidate for the United
States senate again. Must be the rail-
road attorneys and machine bosses are
not as confident of the election of
Kansas senator as they were few
months ago and they want to put
Calderhead forward to help pull the
chestnuts out of the fire. And he will
do it. He must do anything the cor
pOratiOn gang want him to do, for he

ing kept in ongress.-Scandia Jour

representative there is no law requir-
ing them to re-elect him. They have
had ample opportunity to get ac-
quainted with Mr.. Calderhead in the
past ten years. and it must be said to
his credit that he IS not in the habit
of deceiving the people as to his atti-
tude toward trusts and corporations.
It is doubtful if Mr.. Calderhead
represents the real sentiment Of the
majority of the people of the Fifth dis

and very likely he Will be reelected

out the whole, or nearly the whole, OF its
net surplus after fixed charges in dlyi-
dende There is nothing, however, de-
serving OF much criticism in the distri-
button OF other income to the stock
holders.
The other income of the Union Pa
cifc IN 1905 amounted to s7,767, 491, or al
most exactly per cent on the stock
outstanding at the end Of the year.
There is not the least doubt that IN 1907
this viii increase to $S,000,000.
This. of course. ignores the fact that
in 1907 Union Pacific will receive an ad-
ditionaI 81, 100000 IN dividends on its $780,
100000 of Southern Pacific common The
other income in that year may total
s13. 600, COO over 6 per cent on the Union
Pacific common.
IF it be granted that the Union Pa
cif7c can conservatively distribute Sc, Co.,
600 a. year of other income the 10 per
cent dividend does not look so extrava-
CANT. If the other income is eEminat-
ed from the 1906 report, the surplus at
ter preferred dividends would be ST.
452. 600. Including the betterments
charge 1t would be about $19, 100000
THE per cent dividend would call
for 81, 7O6, 900. It therefore appears that
the surplus from operations, after the
common dividend, would be about S.
900, 900.
IF the net earnings of the Union Pa
ciflc should shrink $4,000, 600, the COM
pany would be practically forced to cut
its dividend. This would be a shrinkage
Of about q per cent. That looks very
big, but it is almost exactly the differ
enee between the net earnings in 1908
and 1906. In the light Of this fact it
cannot be considered by any means an
impossible contingency.
THE Union Pacific IS a magnificent

affiliations by land and sea it Is second
to no railway in the west. It has a
wider scope than any other transcon-

must have a greater stability and con-
tinuity under all circumstances than the
traffic of any purely granger railway,
or any transcontinental without similar
affiliations.
