Of valuation most thorough that SIM

posal for a valuation of their prel,-

Another idea that has been here in
the dicussion Of corporation affairs
and that has been one Of the cardinal
points in the Roosevelt plan of corpo-
ration control is adopted by the Big
telephone system This is the policy
of full publicity of accounts and
charges. In accordance with this
plan the report explains the basis oil
charges, showing that lower
rates are charged for residence than
for business service because the lat
ter is a greater convenience to the
subscriber, the proper basis OF charge
being, not the cost of installing and
maintaining the particular circuit con-
Meeting the subscriber with the rest
of the system, but the extent to which
use is made of circuits and operating
facilities of the system. The figures
given shows that the actual value OF
the property devoted to providing tel
ephone service over the lines of the
whole system is little more than
$3.50 for each telephone in use. Add
ing to this investment the cost OF main
tenance and of providing service the
result shows that the rates charged
on the present basis are very mod
crate.
Nevertheless, not little profit was
earned through operaors OF the various
associated companies engaged in the
manufacture of apparatus and sup
niles. and in the rental of lines, under
ground ducts, etc, so that each OF the
| 525,2SO shares of the controlling
company in the hands of the public
earned about $1,000 net, $3.50 of which
was carried to reserve and to surplus.
Added to this is the fact that there

Elbows that the actual value OF the
physical property comprising the
plants of the associated companies

cents in making up their report is
$4S6,296,OOO. This is $4,200,O0O less

erty is carried on the books OF the

than the total of the obligations out
standing against these plants. In other
words, instead of being overcepital-
lied, these companies are capitalized
at some $34,000,000 less than actual
replacement cost, so that each share

Hebrew Surnames

The family names of European
Jews are of comparatively recent orr
gin. mostly from the seventeenth and
eighteenth centuries and the first part
of the nineteenth. When they were
obliged by law to assume family
names they did so either according to
their traditional custom. calling them
selves AbramsOn, 1saacsOn, jacobson,
Aaronson. Davidson, LevinsOn or the
like. or took names from their native
country. as Sachs, Schwab, POllack.
Baier. Bochm. Schweizer. Tyroler.
Ocstreichcr. IIollander. etc. Others.
again-and these are the ma jority-
named themselves from their native
towns. such as Frankfurter. Berliner.
Oppenhcimer. Oberndorfer. Weiner.
Prayer Regensburger. Posner, Lam
dauer. Feurther. Marburg. WetZIar.
Eranger. Bernhcimer etc. The de-
scendants of Aaron mostly kept up
the names of Cohn. Cohen, COwen or
Katz. and the Levites maintained the
name of Levi. Leyh and Brill, the last
being composed of the initial letters of
Rabbi Jehuda Levi. Some few are
transatiOns from the Hebrew: Heu
bsch and SchOen from Jafeh. Wise
from Chacham. Weis from Zaban.
Roth from Edom. Still there are quite
a number of Jewish names much older
than the eighteenth century which are
evidently not taken from the town or
country, also among the German Pol
ish Jews. such as Heller, Mack, Mock,
Block, Bloch. etc.

and security, but they rather endure
the most savage persecution and
tyranny. as all Jews had done in the
past ages and centuries than to give
up their dear faith.
This is the strongest proof against
all arguments that they feel cOgniZant
that their faith is right for surely they
would not give comfort, peace, their
very life, for what they knew was
falsehOOd. No honest man would live
Intentionally for lie.
This all brings us back to the pres
ent phases of Jewish faith. Whatever
system that governs our religious at
fairs may appear so different from the
system of the past, the system under
lying this system and religious pur-
suit is still the same as that of Abra
ham, as that of the prophets OF yore,
the same as our ancestors and fore
bears had it and that faith will re-
main with us until that glorious day
will dawn, when:
''They shall teach no more, every
man his ncighbOr. and every man his
brother, saying:
Know the Lord, for they shall
all know me. saith the Lord.
This divine teaching. This forms
the phases of Jewish faith of Jews of
whatever shade. This was the senti-
ment of rabbis and Jewish sages at all
times. conveyed to us in the truest
sense of divine love. which we keep
proclaiming with perfect trust in that
great God who was, who Is and who
will cternally be the same.
The present phases of Jewish faith
are the purest altruism :believing that
God is the foundation of our faith.
but so has He blessed other faiths that
are believed sincerely. that are con-
ducivc to the well being and happi-
ness of mankind and the promotion of
virtue. morality and humanity.
The faith of others is as true to
them as our faith is to us. Praed
voices this sentiment truly. when h~
says: ''"tiH .i'

That there are fifty roads to town.

The Friendship Of Books

God be thanked for books. They
are the voices of the distant and the
dead, and make us heirs of the spirit

true Jewelers.. They give to all, who
will faithfully use them, the society.
the spiritual presence of the best and
greatest of our race.
No matter how poor l am. No
matter though the prosperous of my
own time will not enter my obscure
dwelling. If the sacred writers will
enter and take up their abode under
my roof, if Milton will cross my
threshold to sing to me of Paradise.

worlds of imagination and the work

Ceremonies are different in every

cOnVerSant with the Hebrew language,
with ZunZ. Geiger Joel and others to
facilitate the movement, then the on
ward march began with fervent zeal
and fOrceful energy: rabbinism began
to wave and grow fainter; Mosaism
growing strong and stronger, and to-
day we have the Jewish faith re-
formed into its pristine pureness. But
turics cannot be so easily eradicated
hence all Jews have not fallen in line
of the reform movement. Some still
cling tenaciOusly to the rabbinic Juda-
ism, unwilling to make decided step
forward: these are called orthodox
and consist generally. with some eX-
ccptions. of the less educated Jews.
Others not willing to stand still alto

change, adopt Il middle way. choosing

tivcs. The most enlightened have al

they are called rcfOrmcrs. There are

called the radicals. Still the differ

ritual. the phases of faith are still the
same for one and all. resting on the
belief in one God.
There is no schism in Jewish ranks.
We inter-marry. we perform funeral
services among each other. we cX-
change pulpitS. Our institutions. cdu-
cational and benevolent. are supported
by the combined classes and our dis
agreements are too trivial to cause fric-
ton.
We all agree. in which Christians
too believe. that we are the seed of
Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. whom God
intended to be the means of blessing
to all the families of the earth. which
implies that God loves all mankind
and wants them all to be blessed. and
that the Jews did afford them blessing

1t is meet to remark that. as the
