For Municipal Owenrship Adopted by
SaIina Mass Meeting.

Salina. Kan. Nov. 1S.-The meeting
of business men held today at the
office of the city clerk there to meet
a special committee of the council ap-
pointed to make a report on the mat
ter of paid fire department was one
of the most enthusiastic ever held. The
business men were not long in getting
down to business and before the meet
ing had been in session an hour, these
motions were unanimously adopted:
That the business men recommend
that the council take action on a paid
fire department at once.
That the city council submit to the
people the question of voting bonds for
q suitable city hall.
That the council also submit to the
people the question of buying the
waterworkS.
That the purchase of the electric
light plant be included.
That the question of a commission
form of government be checked UP to
the people, after the required petitions
have been preSentd.

LEAVENWORTH CLAIMS $4,000
According TO Returns of the Directory
Men

Leavenworth, Kan, Nov 1S.-That
the population of Leavenworth is in
creasing and rapidly, too, has been
proven by the recent canvass just COM
pIeted by Clarence Rohrbough and
Dan Connole, the men who are com
piling the new city directory
The canVassers have taken names of
no persons under sixteen years of age.
me total of all above that age is
1900. The latest report from the
superintendent of the public schools
OF the city shows the total attendance
in the city schools to be 1850. Then
there are many children under sixteen
who do not attend school, counting
children too young to attend and those
not attending for various other reas-
ons. Six thousand is a conservative
estimate of all persons under sixteen
years of age. Basing the estimate
upon this basis the population will
easily reach $4,000.
Another interesting feature is that
about 800 new houses have been built
or are under construction since the
issue of the last directory in 1907.
About 200 new houses are listed that
are occupied at present while 100 more
are under construction or foundation
laid.

RAILROAD NEWS.
More Objections to Commerce
Accounting Ruling.
f. A. Delan O of the Wabash
Writes Objections.
WAS UNCALLED FOR.
Cites Many Points Which Are
Mainly Impractical.
Other Items of Interest in Rail-
way Circles.

Since the system of accounting pre-
scribed by the interstate commerce
| commission for use on all American
| railroads went into effect more than a
! year ago, it has been the subject of
many objections on the part of the
roads, particularly that section of it
which requires certain amount to be
charged off every month in operating
expenses for depreciation. In the cur
rent number of the Journal of Political
Economy, published by the University
| of Chicago, f. A. Delano, president of
the Wabash road, has an article in
which he reviews extensively the
question of depreciation.
While taking care to insist that moth
ing in his paper is intended as in any
sense a reflection or attack on the rul-
ing of the commission, President De-
lano takes the same ground as other
railroad operators that in the case of
the railroads, the rule in question is
uncalled for and must be regarded as
a grievance
He takes the position that deprecia-
ton cannot be separated from main
tenance; that if property as a whole IS
properly maintained, depreciation is
very slow and does not proceed, in re-
Spect to the entire property below half
it's original value.
According to his view in the opera
ton of any property, there is a neces-

porations whether they be mercantile,
manufacturing or RAILROAD are subject
to wide fluctuations in their receipts,
and frequently are compelled to cut
coat according to cloth:' He points
out that in railway operations this f1ex-
Utility has been cared for in the past in
the following manner:
In the months or years when bust
ness has been heavy and profits good,
not only have the ordinary mainten-
ance expenses been met, but more than
ordinary maintenance work has been
done. In other words the condition of
the property has been improved, and
frequently in addition to this. sums
have been set aside out of earnings to
make additions and betterments to the
property. This enabled the company in
months or years of depression to re-
duce maintenan nee expenses to mini
num- AS will be SEEN railroad cor
porations in general in this respect
have done just what any prudent in
dividual would do.
1t always has been, President Delano
claims, the accepted practice on the
best operated railroads that operating
expenses should show expenditures
actually made. To put expenditures
into operating expenses which actually
have not been made has been regarded
as padding accounts. To make
charge every month for depreciation on
a purely arbitrary basis, when the
money which is thus charged actually
is not spent in replacement, obviously
is charging against operating expenses
something for which no expenditure
has been made.

PREACHERS ANGRY
Will Fight Sunday Theaters at
COffeyville.
Fourth Commandment Text for
Stirring Sermon.
MAKE A TEST CASE.
Declared That New City Law
Conflicts With State Law.
Mayor, Council and City Attorney
Scored by Methodist Preacher.

CoffeyvilIe Nov 1S.-That the fight
against the Sunday picture shows and
theaters lacks much of being ended
was evidenced Sunday when three of
the local ministers denounced the ordi-
nance passed Friday night by the city
council and said that an appeal to the
state law would be made Rev. ]. M
Plannett in the Baptist church, Rev
Stanton Olinger in the Presbyterian
church. and Rev. T. w. Otto in the
Methodist church all preached sermons
on the subject of Sunday closing, urg-
ing the Christian people of Cofeyville
to stand as one man against all Sab
bath dissertation.
The First Methodist church was
packed to the doors Sunday night when
Rev. Mr.. Otto announced that his text
would be the fourth commandment.
He said the state law prohibiting I'M
necessary labor on the Sabbath had
been upheld by the supreme court as
legal and he read from the supreme
court decision of last July to prove that
the court had held that Sunday theat-
ricals constituted labor. Then he at
tackled the ordinance passed last week
as being illegal and said that a test
case of it would soon be made. The
grounds of illegality, according to Rev
Mr.. Otto, lay in its adding to the list of
excepted occupations as fixed by the
state law; that the SKATE law says what
can be done on the Sabbath and that
the council here has undertaken to add
to that list and go farther than the
state law which would be invoked
against the Sunday tbeaters. He said
that the ordinance IesSalizing the shows
so far as the city is concerned has sim
ply served to intensity the fight on
Sunday shows.
Rev. Mr.. Otto did not spare Mayor
Skinner, City Attorney Smelling and J.
H. Dana, attorney for the showmen,
from his shafts of sarcasm. After
reading the Sunday state laws and
comparing them to the ordinance he
came to the section wherein it is stated
that Sunday choirs shall be permitted
on the Sabbath.
churches of this city and to God" he
said. 1T is a disgrace to CoffeyvilIe to
have such an ordinance published. The
attorney who devised that section is L
smart man and 1 am glad that he has
been discovered. He ought to be ap-
pointed United States district attorney
a t once and after a little training in
that office he ought to be promoted to
the presidency. He is man of genius
whom destiny has chosen for her own.
How kind of him to fix things so no
one can swear out a complaint against
men and women who come here VOlun-
tarily and sing to the glory of God.
That section of the ordinance is evil
dence that the theater men and their
hackers want to add insult to injury;
they want to gloat over the churches
of this city,

that the excessive burdens of taxation

which will come down to within about six
feet of the ground and will probably have
