ADVISE SELLING OUT.

On Unusually Frank Statement Of
Failure by Board Of Public Service.
In an exhaustive report TO the city
rouncil the board Of public service OF
Bellefontaine, o., recommended the
selling Of the municipal gas plant on
the following grounds:
'The gas plant is no longer necessary
TO and does not furnish any public
service.
The mains in the principal streets
are very old and will require in the
future expensive repairs.
The plant is in rs good condition to-
day rs it is possible to put the present
system. and to change the system will
require another bond issue.
The average price received from the
sale of gas is very little If any lower
than a private corporation would give
10 our people, but is as low as any gov
ernlng board the people may elect can
make and keep the plant in its present
condition and meet all the require
ments and pay bonds and interest, as
has been the policy OF the present
management
-Four years ago 1t was necessary to
issue $4,000 OF bonds TO build new
holder and install coal gas bench and
necessary machinery, and another Is
sue of bonds 10 the extent Of $4,000
to pay oyerdrafts In the banks, and
5000 more to put new mains in San
dusky street before 1t was paved.
These bond issues should have been
unnecessary II the plant had been OPP
Grated with d view of self support, but
gas was being furnished part Of our
citizens for much less than cost. and
the remaining citizens, even II they
did not use gas, were compelled TO
stand a bond issue for which each tax
payer became equally responsible To
get the plant OH its feet. And. as his
tory repeats itself. you will find re-
quest I'm the future, as IN the past, for
bonds to keep the plant In condition
II the price of gas Is lowered. and we
wish TO say in this connection that
with the election for members OF this
board almost year IN advance there
are candidates who are grooming
themselves today with a view OF catch
ing popular favor and riding into ofhce
on the promise of cheaper gas, and IT
elected on that issue and their prom
lses and pledges are carried out you
may expect n request for bond issue,
aud when we realize that We are now
bonded 10 our legal limit. how will the
money be furnished And IL the plant
is permitted TO get in the condition 1t
was in four years ago, what would 1t
be worth II compelled to sell It?
. "ls IL right or Just TO tax those peo-
pie who do not use gas TO keep up
this plant, either by taxes or bond Is
sues, when they derive no service, ell
Their personally or as citizens from pub
lie service. from the plantf Is It right
TO tax any citizen 10 keep up some
thing that gives him no return as Y
taxpayer? And, on the other hand Is
il right to compel the gas consumer
10 build up a plant from revenues de-
rived from the sale of gas for the peo-
pie? As the people own this plant,
would 1t not be more equitable to all
the people to dispose OF the plant ana
with the proceeds furnish necessity
by installing water mains and sewer
age accommodation for all citizensf
This. in our opinion, should find favor
from both factions, both Of whom at
present have just cause for complaint

The Senate Sees a Light.
New and Observer.

| Raleigh New and Observer.
The favorable report by the Senate
| Judiciary committee yesterday upon
Senator Overpan's bill limiting the
| power of inferior Federal Court
Judges to suspend the statutes OF
State indicates the fact that the
recent decision of the Supreme Court
of the United States in the Minnesota
and North Carolina cases has caused
even the Republican majority in the
Senate to take pause and think OF
| the plain consequences OF such Il con-
struction of the Constitution.
Senator Overman's bill provides
that in such case, no Injunction shall
issue except from hreeiudges sitting
in conference, two Of whom are to be
above the grade of District judges.
In this way each case that comes up
for decision will be heard more nearly
on it's merits and no case will be
within the entire discretion OF one
Judge. 1t is also of value as elimina-
ting the absurd power granted by
the decision to the small District
Judges who are originally contempla-
ted, and whose calibre has all too
frequently shown, that they were
considered, as mere criminal justices.
Soon after the decision this paper,
in the full understanding that the de-
cision of the Supreme Court settled
the law, took occasion to point out
the remedy, was by Federal statute.
While, under the decision of the Su-
preme Court, the Federal inferior
courts are at present supreme,
their future and their power is in the
| hands of Congress. 1t is, therefore,
with Congress to clip their claws, as
| it were, and it was in the faith that
it has in the people that the News
and Observer found in this fact a ray
| of hope where, without it, there
would have been nothing left save
humiliating resignation. Senator
| Overman's bill is carefully drawn
and provides, in addition to the pro-
vision quoted, other provisions as
to notice, etc, Of much value. He
| doubtless knew the temper of the ma
| jority with whom he was dealing and
drew his measure along lines looking

will but he made an issue that will
sweep the country and, with it, the
last vestige of the tyrannical use
of power by courts that get their
power, not from fundamental law.
but at the peoples pleasure.
What Senator Overman fought for
in an. amendment to the rate bill,
time has justified with experience.
We hope that not only this bill will
pass, but that Others OF more far
reaching effect in the perpetuation OF
a principle that has been well-nigh
refined to death will follow.
