Public Utilities in New York.

1t seems trife curious to see
Frank \. Vanderlip, spokesman of
the National City Bank, In an i'm
pOrtant public address, pointing out
the benefits New YORK city has
gathered from public ownership OF
its public utilities. Mr.. Vanderlip
argued that while the metropolis
has nominally S625, 200, 900 debt, the
policy of city ownership has given
it immensely valuable assets which
represent and viii pay off most of
this debt without any charge
against the taxpayers direct.
At the beginning the city owns
S17OOOO,O 900 OF its own bonds, to the
credit of the sinking funds. After
tnat, there Is another S135. 900, 900
of the debt for payment of which
specific and assured revenues were
pledged before the Greater New
York was organized. Then there
was loan of SAG, ZOO, 900 or the city's
credit to building the subway. But
the city Will in due time GET the
subway, and it is more than amply
valuable to pay the debt without
draft on the taxpayers. The city
owns its docks. which constitute
perhaps its greatest single money
earning asset. They earn a return
on no less than $4,000, 900 invest
ment annually
In other words. Mr. Vanderlip
shows that the city has great debts,
but also great properties to show
for them. New York has far the
most valuable publicly owned muni-
cipal utilities in America. and its
people have made clear that they
expect TO go still farther in that
direction.

Going Backward.

The CzAr of Russia has been list
ening TO unwise counsels since he
determined TO send Witte awav
from him, and the result is already
beginning to stir up another fer
ment in the empire.
Each act goes from bad TO worse.
the new fundamental law turns
out to be a tyrannicaI and wholly
distasteful set of rules which the
douma cannot override. Almost
every one of its provisions is seem
ingly meant TO strengthen the walls
of defense around autocracy from
the expected attack of the peoples
assembly. The PRONUNCIATION of this
sort of Cars private constitution.
after it was supposed to have per
ished with Wittc, is arousing fury
even among the conservative Dem.
ocrats who are seeking liberty with
moderation.
The outlook for any degree of
political independence for the Rus
sian people is growing darker every
day, spite of the nearness of the
gathering of the douma. What

America and San Francisco.

Dickens was one of the first GO
prominent visitors TO America to
lampoon our disposition to ask
What do you think of America ~
What he said was. true of us then
1t Is true of us now 1t is in fact
a fair indication of American pride
in American self-rehance and
American achievements. And while
il might be wished we did not bmrt
it out so bluntly, it is on the whole
the manifestation of a fine national
quality-the disposition to do our
best and take pride in it. Better
vanity of this sort. or worse, than
the indifference which slaps the
American visitor in the face in half
the European capitals.
Just now the country is engaged
in rebuilding the stricken city of
San Francisco. The task is big. the
need for help reaches every citizen,
and the country is responding. In
which light it will be pleasant for
Americans 10 read the following
comment from the London Specta-
tor as showing what leading
English paper thinks of America at
such time:
The world wide sympathy felt for the
United States has found vent not only
in messages of coincidence. but in offers
OF pecuniary aid-in particular from
Canada and the British colonies-but
these have been gratefully declined.
and already sum Of more than 100000
pounds has been raised in the United
States for purposes Of relief and recon-
struction. The astonishing recuperative
force Of America has often been shown
on great scale. but never perhaps more
strikingly than I'm the courage, self-re-
lance, and energy with which the na-
tion is concentrating its efforts on the
restoration Of San Francisco.
1t used to be said of the war
with Spain that ii paid for itself
in an awakened American patriot
ism. 1t may vet be said of the San
Francisco horror that the suffering
and losses which il entailed were
more than offset by the reinforce
ment it gave American self-reli-
ance and American independence.
The Washington times., 1906-05-10

The insurance companies are go
ing 10 raise rates to make the pub
lie pay San Francisco's losses. That
would be all right if the public had
not been paying those losses in ad-
vance, and if it were not morally
certain that the rates will remain
at the new altitude permanently.
The fact is that enforcement of
this policy at this time will be very
likely to bring down upon the fire
companies a manifestation of the
wrath that has thus far been direct
ed against the life companies. 1t
costs rather more to run the bust
ness than it does TO pay the losses
for the fire companies. Competition
among them has been an expensive
luxury for which, just as in case of
the life companies, the public has
been required TO pay. Agents and
agents commissions and agency ex-
penses cost about half the money
the policyholder pays. The rest
goes to pay losses. There is in
creasing belief that reduction of
those expenses and of the army of
agents engaged in selling something
that everybody must have, would
be preferable TO an increase of
rates.
