Michigan Voters Apathetic.

The election yesterday furnished an
opportunity to ascertain just how much
interest the people Of Michigan take in
state affairs when their interest is I'M
affected by partisan enthusiasm. The
vote was practically fifty per cent be-
low normal despite the fact that the
voters were selecting their representa-
tives for the most important meeting in
a representative government that has
been held in the state in fifty years. 1t
is proposed to construct a new constitu-
ton. If the document. when complet-
ed, is worthy the state, it will be be-
cause the delegates have higher con-
ception of their duty to their constitu-
ents than their constituents have of
their duty to the state and republican
form of government
The vote can hardly be used as an ar
gument in favor of primary elections,
the initiative and referendum or any
other "will-of- the-people" government
wherein the voters are expected to go
quietly to the polls en- masse, and record
their decision on public question or
select those to whom they delegate
power. Lansing Republican.

Banquet to 6erk shire Breeders.

The banquet rendered by Hubbard 81
Brown in honor of the breeders of
Berkshires who were here to attend
their annual sale was success from
start to finish and thoroughly enjoyed
by the fifty ladies and gentlemen pres
emit. The new management of the
National hotel really opened a few days
earlier than they had expected to in
order to care for this banquet and also
the men who came to attend the sale, it
being headquarters That it was a
good move on the part of Landlord
Zuber cannot be questioned, as the
farm papers all over the country will
make mention of the splendid service
accorded at the banquet and the care
taken of the guests during their stay.
After the elegant spread had been dis
posed of w. D. Burke, POSTMASTER of
the evening, assumed charge and things
moved rapidly until nearly midnight,

of welcome on behalf of the city and

pleasing off-hand talks, while E. o.

given and the spread prepared by Mr..

speakers had good word for Messrs.
Hubbard e. Brown, the former of whom
is one of the Oldest breeders of Berk-
shires in the state and has for years
been recognized as leader in all that
pertains to the advancement of the
breed. The gentlemen certainly have
reason to feel proud Of the success of
the banquet.

AFTER TWELVE YEARS.
Milford Center, O., Sells Its Light and

Milford Center, O., Sells Its Light and
Water Plant to Be Rid of a White
Elephant.
In a recent issue the Municipal Jour-
nal and Engineer announced that the
municipal light and water plant Of Mil
ford Center. o., was to be sold at
auction. The following was received
in response to request for further in
formation from the president Of the
village:
II beg to say that the reason for the
sale Of the municipal light and water
plant is the failure Of municipal own
ership to operate the plant as econom-
ically as private interests could"
J. L. Boylan Of the board Of trustees
OF public affairs writes more fully:
ION account Of fast increasing de-
ficiency 1t is deemed best to dispose of
the plant. We have had twelve years
Of municipal ownership and have been
fortunate in getting gUSd business men
at the head, yet the plant has never
been on a self supporting basis and is
now In need Of great amount Of re-
pair, without any better outlook for
sufficient income to warrant expense.
We therefore wish to get rid of
white elephant"

A recent issue of the Electrical
World contained the following item in
regard to Mason, Mich.
1.-THE common council Is considering
the abandonment and disposal of the
municipal lighting plant now in use
and securing electricity for lighting
and power from the Commonwealth
Power company Of Jackson. The mu-
nicipal plant is fast deteriorating in
value and utility and becoming q con-
slant bill of expense to the city for re-
pairs and new equipment The pumps
at the waterworks will also be operat-
ed by electricity If the proposed plan
Is carried out"
A letter to the mayor for confirma-
ton of these facts elected the follow
ing response:
I'm answer to your letter of recent
date would say that there has been no
vote on the question of granting a
franchise as yet. Mason owns and op.
crates its electric light and water
works systems. We are contemplating
purchasing power from the Common
wealth Power company. Municipal
lighting has not been the success an
ticipated. When depreciation of plant
Is considered, we are not obtaining our
street lighting at any less sum than
we formerly paid private corpora
ton"

l0WA's GOOD EXAMPLE.
Has Made Law Providing For Uni
formity In Municipal Accounts.

'S'"'ey UtUtSlPdt hCCOuntSs
Iowa is setting an example to her
sister states which they would be wise
to follow as expeditiously as possible.
She has recently put into effect law
providing for uniform system of mu.
nicipal accounting which, If properly
executed, will make it easy to see
whether municipal plants are paying
their way. If such law had been in
general operation fifteen years ago, 1t
Is probable that by this time the agl-
tation for municipal ownership would
have entirely ceased, in view of the
damaging facts that such reports
would inevitably have brought out.
Under the provisions Of this Iowa
law the state auditor is required to
formulate and prescribe a system of
municipal accounts, in preparing which
he shall be assisted by an advisory
committee Of municipal accountants.
So far as practicable the latest and
most improved methods of accounting
are to be adopted, and all cities and
towns are required to report annually
to the state auditor on the forms pre-
scribed by him.
The auditor shall appoint one or
more examiners Of municipal accounts
who shall at least once In two years
report upon the financial conditions
and transactions of all cities Of 5000
population or more and Of smaller
cities or towns upon request.

SOMETHING MUST BE DONE"
The Municipal Plants Of knishtstown,
Ind, Are In a Bad Way.


Ind, Are In Bad Way
The Star of Muncie, Ind, recently de-
scrlbed the condition of the municipal
plants of Knightstown, Ind. in the
following way:
"The municipal electric light and
waterworks plant Is threatened with
financial disaster unless relief meas
ures are taken at once. In order to
settle the question satisfactorily the
city council has decided to adopt the
referendum in the matter and let the
taxpayers vote on the proposition of
issuing bonds to enlarge and perfect
the plant.
1.-THE report OF the superintendent
shows that the electric light plant has
been running behind during the fiscal
year and that something must be done
to keep 1t in operation. The business
has increased so that there Is not now
adequate power for the dynamos, and
new engine will have to be put in.
The city council also claims that the
rates are entirely too low and that
prices must be Increased to keep the
plant on a self sustaining basis.
"An ordinance Is now pending pro-
viding for the enlargement and i'm
provement of the plant and providing
for special election to determine IL
the city shall issue bonds calling for
$4,000. The present council has had
much trouble in keeping the plant go
N,g. and loans from the general fund
to the electric lighting fund have been
frequent for several months"
In response to a request for con-
firmation of the report the city clerk
Of Knightstown writes:
II would say that there has been no
issue Of bonds nor change in the cleo
trio or water rates, but there Is ap-
parent need OF something to decrease
the cost or increase the income from
those sources"
