ton to be held in st. Paul, Mimi, May
| 81 to June 7. In part the letter
reads:
After some investigation, it has
been thought best to go over the
Chicago, Milwaukee and ST. Paul from
Chicago.
This road guarantees rates and ser
vice equal to that of any road operat
ing between Chicago and st. Paul. II
is the only road offering a choice OF
routes; one for going, and another for
returning trip, thus affording change
of scenery.
A most desirable feature, however
is the fact that the Ohio Federation
will use this road, and by courtesy OF
Mrs. Edward Buchwalter, president OF
Ohio Federation, Indiana is invited to
join them. We are assured that the
Indiana car may be attached to the
"Ohio special"
Make your plans early, and join this
party from Indiana. Club women
should avail themselves of this oppor,
tunity to attend the eighth biennial.
Rates from Chicago to ST. Paul, as
now announced, will be one fare for
the round trip, plus two dollars. A
| like rate will obtain in the Central
Passenger Association district, selling
tickets on May 81 to 81.
Pleasant and comfortable rooms
may be secured at the Willard Hotel
where arrangements have been made
for the delegates. 1t is hoped that
the entire Indiana party may be domi
ciled at the same place.

HADLEY AND HIS FIGHT.

Missouri Attorney General Who Won
Victory. From Oil Trust.
Herbert s. Hadley, attorney general
Of Missouri, who has forced the mag
mates of Standard Oil to disclose some
of the secrets of that powerful institu-
ton, declares that all around honesty
Is the only cure for social ills which
are now attracting so much attention.
1t Is not often that man starts out to
fight the big oil trust and wins a vic
tory, but that Is what Mr.. Hadley has
done, and his name Is now familiar to
millions of people who had never heard
Of him a year ago. The object Of the
suits brought by him against the
Standard in the state of Missouri is to
establish charges of violation of the
laws against trusts. At first the oil
corporations spokesman refused the
information Mr.. Hadley wanted, but
he obtained a decision from the su-

spectively the richest infant in the
world and has been termed 1.-The bill
lionaire baby"
1t has been figured out that by the
time John D. Rockefeller Sd reaches
his majority the Rockefeller fortune
now estimated at $1,000. 100000, will
have increased to something like ST.
0O0,0OO,0OO. The baby If he lives will
be heir to probably the greater part of
this fortune. He has a little sister,
Abbie Rockefeller. who was born
three and a half years ago. Mrs. John
D. Rockefeller, Jr.. was noted for her
beauty and accomplishments when she
was a Providence belle. She met
young Mr.. Rockefeller when the latter
was student of Brown university.
Mrs. Rockefeller is tall and graceful
and about thirty-one years of age.
Some time ago she acted as waitress
at mems clubhouse that the elder
Rockefeller built when an entertain
ment for men was given. A man Of
fered her a tip, and she promptly
pocketed it and said she would put it
In the contribution plate Sunday, tell
ing the men not to be shy about giving
more tips. She got lot of them.

and records of the Western Un'~n
Telegraph Company over long pc
riod of time, on the life of poles OF
this character show that they last
about 90 to 80 years, the duration OF
life varying with the character of the
soil in which they are planted.
Copper we all know is one Of the
metals that lasts through the ages
and the depreciation of copper is not
over one percent annually. as far as
its electrical conductivity Is concern
ed OF course the insulation will be
defective in time but the intrinsic
value of the copper still remains and
is at all times worth 60 percent of
cost for junk If nothing eIse-trans-
formers with an average life of ten
years would be fully covered by
percent depreciation as the copper
in the transformers is usually worth
about SO per cent of it's cost.
Meters and other apparatus such
as arc system have to be maintained
by the operating expenses.
All of these items considered sepa-
rately or collectively will not average
the general depreciation on system
over percent.
Did the reader notice in the Wither-
by proposition how much money II
meant for him to get $40 cents in
crease on all so X. w. or less consum-
ers?
The time will be reached in a year
or two when the current sold to this
class of consumers will reach an av.
erage of 120. 1000 K w. hrs. monthly
and that means about $4,000 addi
tional at an increase of $40 cent K
w. hr annually, or enough to pay 4
percent on 100000.

THEY WILL CLIMB HIGHER
c. G. Swain and Son Will Profit by
Change in Postal
Service.

The dispatch from Washington in
yesterdays Palladium which stated
that many of the rural route inspectors
would soon be subject to change,
means that they will climb higher in
the service. Charles G. Swain and
son, VIII Swain, both of whom have
been in the service as rural route In
spectors, have been among the most
efficient employees of the postoffice de-
partment and If the contemplated
changes take place they will be made
postofTice inspectors which gives them
more important duties than at present
Being under civil service regulations
both Mr.. Swain and his son are firmly
intrenched in federal positions and
their records for efficiency have been
such they will not soon be parted
with.

no the Editor OF the Palladium :

Dear Sir:-With reference to the
depreciation of an electric lighting
property, the actual rate of depreeia-
ton will vary with the different class
es of machinery employed.
Take the City of Richmond plant
for instance and any one at all fami-
liar with the robust machinery at the
power house will realize that this por-
ton of the mechanical equipment. es-
pecially the moving machinery will
not depreciate more than total of
repairs when made are charged to op-
Grating expenses, the moving machin-
cry Is thus maintained in good oper-
alive order. The boilers may and will
require new tubes occasionally. The
furnaces have to be refined as a con-
sequence of continued service, and
pumps stokers, etc, require repairs
from time to time, but allopf this ex-
pense is covered by operation costs.
The power house building can be seen
at any time and it surely has not de-
preciated much.
The safe supporting steel stack is
anchored to a concrete bed fifteen
feet in diameter and twenty two feet
deep. This stack is lined with fire
brick from bottom to top and thus the
gases of combustion which reach the
stack pass away with no injury to the
steel.
The electrical equipment of power
house, generators, etc, will not aver
age over 2k percent depreciation.
On the outside distribution system
the work consists largely of cedar
poles, copper and transformers. The
cedar is the longest lived wood COM
mercially available in this country

TWO CENTS AT ALL PLACES OF
SALE.
TUESDAY, APRIL 10. 1906.
LIGHT PLANT.

The Palladium's crusade for retain
ing the Municipal Lighting Plant is
bearing fruit. Lined up with us are
practically all the substantial inhab-
itants of the city. Merchants. manu-
facturers, professional men, and Ia
boring men, all commend the course
being pursued by the Palladium. and
declare against the sale Of the plant.
Against such opposition as this Mr..
Witherby's chances of effecting a
deal are decidedly slim. In fact it
would be extravagant for him to even
spend railroad fare to return here for
an answer to his proposition. Some
time ago we suggested that a counter
proposition on the part of the City.
to purchase the property of the
Light, Heat and Power Company,
might be wise provision for the flu
ture. The Sun Telegram makes a
somewhat similar proposal in it's is
sue Of yesterday, In stating 1t would
be interesting to know how much
Mr.. Wltherby would accept for the
electric and gas plants combined
It would indeed be interesting to have
his figures, IL only for the sake of
having something upon which to base
his depreciation charges. Under the
Voice of the People, in this mornings
issue of the Palladium, appears a very
clever article suggesting that Mr..
Witherby's 10 per cent depreciation
charges If applied to his own plant,
the Light, Heat and Power Company,
would leave nothing there but the
ground upon which the plant stands.
It appears that Mr.. Witherby has
been over jealous in advocating the
sale of the Municipal Plant. The
statements he has made are not un-
baised, fact which will undoubtedly
be brought out by the work of the in
vestigating committee. But In spite
OF Mr.. Witherby the people of Rich
mond are going to retain their plant.
And II 1t has not paid in the past, its
future under new administration
will prove whether or not 1t has had
a square deal.

A PROUD MOTHER.

Mrs. John d. Rockefeller, Jr., and
Her Son, the Richest of Babies.
There was great delight in the Rock
efeller family when a son was born to
Mr.. and Mrs. John D. Rockefeller, Jr..
to bear the name and inherit the mil
lions of the Standard Oil money king.
The senior Rockefeller has several
grandchildren, but the infant born in
New York city few days ago is the
only grandson who has inherited the
Rockefeller surname. John D. Rookie
Teller, Jr., is the only son Of the IA
nous Millionaire. He married In 1901

Senator Nelson w. Aldrich of Rhode

VOICE OF THE PEOPLE
"DoN'T MUDDY THE WATER"

Editor Palladium: Witherby
seems to be very solicitous of convinc-
ing the citizens of Richmond that there
is deterioration in the Municipal
Light Plant OF tx to 10 per cent. per
annum. Let us see IL we can find a
reason why he wishes to establish that
fact
First, IL he can establish a deteriora-
ton account of 10 per cent. per an
mum, he makes the municipality of
Richmond dissatisfied to that extent,
and aids and abets the individuals who
want to help him into the possession
of the Municipal plant.
Second, after gaining possession of
the plant this deterioration account
which he has established, enables him
TO increase his profits, without the pub
lie knowing to what extent they are
being mulct a.-
The city OF Richmond is familiar
with its factories. Does any one sup
pose for an instant that Gaar, Scott 4
Co. The Hoosier Drill Co, The Starr
Piano Co.. The Wayne Works. and foS
that amount, any factory in Rich
mond, charges off annually 10 per
cent OF their building and machinery
account? If this were the case. there
would not be one of these concerns
that would have cent of value except
the ground on which the plants are
located. Every cent of building, ac-
count and every cent of machinery
account belonging to any OF the above
named cor Germs would long since
have been charged to deterioration ac-
count.

ment that the concern that he repre-
sents, namely The Light, Heat & Pow

cent since it's existence in Richmond
between thirteen and fourteen years?
If SO, then they have no buildings in
Richmond, no machinery in Richmond
and no value in Richmond. 1t has
all been charged to deterioration, all
worn out, all come to naught.
1t seems to the writer, that 1t is
necessary to keep the water clear, and

deal that is being engineered for the
sale of the Municipal Plant.
