Senator Philander C. Knox has
been touted as one of the "conserva-
tive" candidates for the Republican
nomination for president and the one
to whom the railroads and the cor
porate interests would throw their
strength. Surely Mr.. Knox has been
misjudged. His Kalamazoo speech
makes this evident. In no uncertain
words he holds the railroads respon-
sible for the popular uprising against
them and declares that much of the
stringent action against them has
been due to abuses on their part.
Good for Knox.

Now as to operating expenses, the

1t has been reported by some of the
enemies of municipal lighting that the
city has about $4,000 worth of bonds
out against the city electric light plant
and had only $4,000 in the shape of
the present value of the plant to show
for its expenditures of $4,000 during
the past 1s years.
So far as the State Journal is able
to learn, and the records are little
hard to unravel on this point for lack
of time, the city has outstanding only
$4,000 in bonds chargeable to the
electric light plant; that the city never
issued any bonds for the lighting plant
except the original issue twenty years
ago of $4,000 at the time the plan.
was started; and that Of this all but
$28, 900 has been paid of, and all OF
the other additions to the plant have
been paid for. as they were made out
of the general revenue fund. or other
wise.
This, however, cuts no particular
figure in this discussion for the reason
that the depreciation between $27,600
and the total investment Of $se, 900 has
been charged OF as depreciation in
Mr. Myers calculations, and has been
charged into the cost of the lights for
the past Is years II the city has paid
for everything but $4,000. it has paid
for the difference, or SCI, 900, the esti-
mated depreciation. If it still has

lust as the interest is figured the de-
probation is 5 per cent. This shows
that so far as the Topeka city plant Is
concerned, the depreciation has been a
tribe under 5 per cent per year for the
entire time. ss-.55-
AS matter of fact, Mr. Myers should
know that he has figured a sum entire
" too large for the interest. In other
words, he has figured the interest at
S per cent for 1907 on the entire $89, 900
put into the plant from the very be-
ginning, when the city, according to his
own figures, only had left of its or
iginal investment and additions at the
beginning of 1907, $27 500. The rest of
the $61, 763 he has charged off as de-
probation and charged that deprecia-
ton into the cost of the lamps for the
past Is years. In other words. to figure
the interest accurately when depreci-
alton is charged off the interest should
be merely figured upon the actual
worth of the investment each year in
real estate, plant and machinery. This
is the reason why his figures Of $7557
as given above are sure to be too high,
ever, We are going to make our points
upon Mr.. Myers own figures.
Mr.. Myers has charged into interest
account for 1907 lighting five per cent
on the total of $Ss.263.00. that is
$4,4e3.15. The proper charge should
$1.375. Quite a difference-nine dol
, lars a lamp a year difference on the
82S lamps. The charge for interest Is
incorrectly figured by Mr. Myers on
every year but the very iirst of the
eighteen years. That is the "toker'' in
the apparently fair interest figures.
Mr. Myers admits that from IAN
uary 1, 1908. or from what ever time
the city may put in its new plant.

 A paper by pr, J J. Orton of tho Tariff Reform club of New York, cre- ated something of a sensation in the meeting by charging that members of the ways and means committee are pecuniarily interested in the tariff schedules which they have to adjust Dr. Orton was absent but his paper was read by another, After outlining general conditions he said;
 "If we had high and honest stand ard of public morals in congress 1t would he much easier to get an honest tariff and the consumer would not be plundered as he is now. venture to say that the publicly established moral code in congress is lower than in most city councils In Washing ton it is common gossip that out of nineteen members of the ways and means committee which will frame q new tariff various ones are pecuniaily interested in thls or that schedule"
