THH GAN NATE CASE.

The S0-cent gas rate case which has been be-
fore the United States Supreme Court for the
last few days is, for the questions Involved
one Of the most important and interesting of
the new rate law cases which recent state leg
Hough fixed the value of the Consolidated Gas
COmpany's property at S59,S31 ,4S5, and estl-
mated that the returns received from selling
gas at 80 cents thousand feet would not earn
for the company per cent on that investment
In that S59. .S31, ,435 he included S12,OO0,OOO as
the value of franchises. Can the value Of
franchises, which obviously depends upon the
companys profits, and therefore on the rate it
charges, be used to prevent the state from re-
ducing the rate for gas, q right reserved TO 1t
in its charter to the company?
The court may not answer this great ques-
ton of whether or not the value OF franchises
NAV be included in the property Of a public
service company for the purpose of determin-
ing the-fairness of a rate fixed by law. Courts
often avoid the most interesting questions. 1t
may hold that the rate Of return, even at Judge
HouCh's valuation. is not confscatoTy. Or it
may cut his estimate of the cost of making gas,
or Of the value of some Of the various prop
critics held by the company. Or 1t may exclude
from the property of the company certain real
estate not employed in the making Of gas.
Judge Hough found the rate fixed by law al
most renunerative, even at the valuations he
made Many questions besides the inclusion of
franchise values are at issue, and the Supreme
Court may decide any one Of them against the
gas company and thus hold the law TO be consti-
tutionaI

THr WASTE OF LIFE.

The lecture Of Mr.. Congleton at New York
University the other day, though devoted pTl-
mariIv and chiefly to the subject OF sewage dls-
posal conveyed a striking reminder OF one OF
the most deplorable weaknesses, If not actual
crimes of our civilizations reminder when was
strongly emphasized day or two later by the
,rotest Of DR.. Darlington, the New York Health
Commissioner, against curtalmeht OF Ihe "oFk
Of the bureau of child hygiene and by the move
ment in the Academy Of Medicine for national
department of public health. Property, the
lecturer observed is carefully protected at great
cost while the owner Of it, man himself, Is care
lesslv exposed to injury and death from pre-
yentable diseases. Vast contributions are made
for the cure of diseases, but how little for
their prevention. Death the rare and supreme
penalty imposed upon the worst of criminals, IS
imposed upon millions of innocent persons
through criminal neglect. Societies are busy
with good works for the vegetable and animal
Kingdoms, while myriads of the human race are
permitted TO perish needlessly, like flies in a
frost. under what is called "the providence of
God
In this there is some exaggeratiOn, no doubt,
but there is a great deal Of truth. In the last
few years something has been done and Is now
increasingly being done for the prevention or
some diseases, yet still the disproportiOn be-
tween prevention and cure is far too great and
the neglect of preventive measures III very inn
portant directions is mOnstrOus. The yearly
slaughter in the abused name Of patriotism on
the Fourth OF July is a minor case in point The
contamination of potable water with sewage and
consequent propagation Of typhoid is another
the one we assume, which chiefly moved the lect-
urer 10 his utterances on the subject Despite
all that has been done for tenement house re-
form in the last generation, the housing of the
poor is still scandalously bad Without being
fussy the thoughtful observer can easily discern

struck characteristic note He delivers mes

prosperity. He rightly iuterprets Republican
victory IN assurance 10 producers, manufact

shall be permitted TO do the Work of the coun-

They viii not be threatened with prescription

Mr. Tafts programme has been well under
stood since lie made his first speech more than
p year ago, as a candidate for the Republican
Presidential nomination. He is creative con-
ffrlIcfiEe and truly conservative in his aims and
he wants put Industrial and commercial
structure on a frmer basis by eliminating

BUILDING SHIPS OF STONE.

One Of the latest uses to which concrete has
been put is the construction OF small seagolng
vessels. Experiments made by an italian, Sig
nor Gabellini, satisfied him that the material
would serve for boats both large and small He
STRENGTHENS the concrete with bars of metal,
following the precedent established IN the con-
struction of houses and other buildings, and
among the advantages which he is said 10 have
discovered in this work is that his hulls have
a beautifully smooth exterior, thus reducing the
friction, which is hardly credible, and that there
is so little wear and tear that the cost Of main-
tepance is insignificant, which is also rather
hard to believe.
The proposition is ingenious, but while not
necessarily absurd it may not stand the test of
time Concrete can be made to float, OF course,
and here and there, perhaps, wood may be so
scarce and steel plates so expensive as 10 give
II an economical advantage, but it is doubtful
if q rigidity like that of granite or marble Is
desirable in the products Of marine architecture
A concrete vessel might be more readily crushed
or punctured by a collision than a hull possess
ing some elasticity would be.
The origin Of the Gabellnl plan IS not dis
closed. Possibly it was suggested by one re-
