Bureau Evening Teller.

CHARLESTON, Oct. 21.-Lack OF
interest resulted in there being no
meeting last Saturday, a,s advertised,
to organize fruit growers associa-
ton.
A number of growers were present,
but it was decided that it was better
to wait until larger percentage was
present and to call for meeting some
time later.
| Speaking of the failure to meet as
advertised, a prominent grower said
The fruit growers of Charleston
and Vineland are making great mis-
take If they allow the year to pass
without forming an organization that
will secure a unity of action in the
matter of disposing of their crops and
other matters that will insure them
the needed regulations to make their
calling a success"
Had the orchards of Charleston and
Vineland produced a full crop this
year, the growers would have expert
enced great difficulty in harvesting and
marketing their crop. Without a
system and with no executive force
to look after the matter of securing
boxes, pickers packers and disposal
of the fruits, serious loss is bound to
follow, and unless the matter is taken
up early disappointment will result.

PALUNACY.
ny joins KeNpRIcK BANGS.

BY JOHN kENDRICk BANGS.
The municipality owned electric light
plant of Charlottesville, Ind, having
shown a so called profit last year Of
$6,727, the trustees have just made a
10 per cent advance In the charge for
street lighting. The probable reason
for this is desire on the trustees
part to increase this years Brofits to
an even $1,000, round figures being SO
much more satisfactory than angular
ones.
One of the pleasing features of mu-
nicipal ownership, as shown in New
Zealand and Australia, is the luscious,
juicy fairness 1t gives to the public
debt. That Of the United-sometimes
called the Benighted-States Is less
than $12 per capita, but in New Zea-
land it Is 1896, in New South Wales
averages 1921 per capita. 1t takes
genuine prosperity to increase a ma
TONS creditor debit-all the way
from 1900 to $500 per cent.
In the bright lexicon of municipal
ownership there is no such word as
deterioration. All city owned plants
are regarded as hardy perennials which
wax stronger with the passage of the
years-a beautiful floral dream If only
waking were impossible!

l0WA'S GOOD EXAMPLE.
Has Made Law Providing For Uni
fornity In Municipal Accounts.

Has Made a Law Providinc For Uni
formity In Municipal Accounts.
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 erect q law
providing for uniform system Of mu-
nicipal accounting which, II properly
executed will make II easy to see
whether municipal plants are paying
their way. II such a law had been in
general operation fifteen years ago, it
is probable that by this time the agi-
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.
