DO You OWN A HoRsE2
Electric LIGHT Plants Are Like Horses
In Some Respects.

Electric LIGHT Plants Are Like Horses
In Some Respects.
The subject Of depreciation is well
worthy of the careful consideration OF
those who are prone to ignore that
item in estimating the cost Of lights
supplied by municipal plants. But as
more people own horses than lighting
plants it may be helpful to consider
depreciation as applied to horses.
You pay $3.50 for a 6vGyeaH-Old
horse That's original cost If you bOr-
row the money you must pay Interest
on 1t. II you don't borrow 1t you lose
the interest you would get IL you didn't
buy the horse Either way it's interest.
You feed the horse, and perhaps hire n
man to take care of him. That's oper-
ating expenses. You get him shod oc-
casIonally and call In the veterinarian
when he IS sick. That's renewals and
repairs. After few years, in spite of
the best OF care, the horse is no longer
capable of doing the required work
and IS sold for $50, loss Of $500 as
compared with the original cost. That's
depreciation. If you haven't laid that
by year by year out of the horses
earnings. you've got to borrow 1t to
buy a new horse, and you may not
find it easy to do so If you haven't re-
paid the original loan. That's what
happens to municipal plants that don't
provide an adequate depreciation fund.

Whether n public utility be admin
istered by tho government itself or by
n private corporation, we hold that
every person who uses 1t should be held
to pay the cost OF the service which
he receives and that no man should be
compelled by taxation or otherwise to
bear any part Of his neighbor's ex-
penses for light and power, for tele-
phone service or for transportation OF
himself or OF his goods.
Every proposal that a municipality
assume operation OF all public utilities
and reduce rates to persons using
them, regardless OF what the service
may actually cost, is an attempt to
force some men to bear the expenses
Of others, because where the outlay for
operation exceeds earnings the deficit
must be made up by taxation, and this

His Judgment of works of art was held in

high authority equestrian statues and at
the time his health failed was contem7lat-

of the world, for which he had collected
much material.

PEASANTS ELECTIONS
OFFICIALS CHARGED WITH IN
TERFERENCE.

ST. PETERSBURG, March 11.-Charges
of interference on the part of the local
police officials TO prevent free expression of
will by the peasants in the preliminary
elections TO the county conventions are In
oreasing The Nasha Shisn says ii has
investigated the rural elections In St
Petersburg province, and alleges that the
authorities everywhere forbade popular
meetings called by liberals, but did not in
terfere with meetings called by priests and
other reactionaries.
In many places the peasants were afraid
to vote on account of the police at the
polls Hundreds of representatives Of the
liberal parties were arrested. and In some
cases there were even military demonstra-
lions The government agents openly
threatened the peasants with repressons II
certain persons were elected.
The peasants from three districts have
sent kilograms of protest to Emperor
Nicholas. One of the peasant districts
drew up instructions to its delegates to
vote for the appropriation of crown and
state lands and a portion of the private
lands.
The Nasha Shisn charges that the con-
sentative results of the elections were &c
solely to repression While the returns
generally show d large proportion OF priest
and village elders elected, In some of the
provinces, especially in the west the peas
ants displayed great independence at theft
meetings and talked only of a division of
lands Their hostility toward the noble
men and big landlords was intense. and
they defeated all the priests and village
officials.
