MEXICAN PUBLIC UTILITIES.

Announcement is made in the Mex
lean Herald of the probable plans of
the government of Mexico in taking
control of the public utilities in that
country, as follows:
IA well substantiated report is cur
rent that the federal government Is
contemplating taking over the Tram
ways company and the Mexico Light
& Power company and operating them
under government control. 1t is I'M
derstood that the government would
want probably 81 per cent of the
stock, under which circumstances the
holders of the other 40 per cent would
feel reasonably certain of good profits.
"a New York banker, representing
the Berlin interests, has been here for
more than week and has just re-
turned home, after looking into the
possibilities of securing from the Mex
lean government a concession for
large light and power concern which
was intended to supply light and pow
err not only to the City Of Mexico, but
to other towns and cities of the coun-
try as well and at the same time
to secure control of a large number
of similar concerns in the United
states, forming of the whole trust.
He was told that no concession would
be given and that it would be useless
to ask one. 1t is said that he was told
that the federal government is now
looking into the practicability of TAX
ing over at least 81 per cent OF the
stock of the two companies and oper-
ating them as the National Railways
of Mexico are now operated.
According to the reports, the pro-
iect of the government is aimed d.
city at securing the public utilities
for the sole purpose of benefiting the
public at large and to create the most
efficient service. President Diaz Is
said to favor the accomplishment of
the idea, as it would carry out more
completely his belief in public owner
ship and give the country the chance
to at once forge ahead of all others
| in the important work already begun.
1t would enable Mexico to carry the
problem of government control of
public utilities to the stage never con-
templated by any other government in
the world"

ToPEKA,s POLICE FORCE.

In his annual report to the mayor
and the city council r. Winfield Eaton,
Chief OF police. suggests that the To-
peka police force can be materially i'm
proved in the future If it is placed on a
civil service basis. His suggestion Is
excellent and should receive due con-
sideration from legislative arm of the
city government. The force as it is
now constituted is a pretty good one.
II has certainly shown itself proficient
in the enforcement of the prohibitory
law, in the wiping out of dens of vice
of all kinds that used to prevail in the
city and in generally keeping the peace.
The Topeka of today is actually a
'clean" city and is far and beyond
comparison with what the Topeka of a
few years ago was. All of the credit
for this excellent condition of affairs
does not belong to the activity of the
Iolice, of course. Sheriff Wilkersor,
Colonel John D. Norton. the under
sheriff and their deputies with Mr..
Schenck. the county attorney, have
played a great part in the Kidding OF the
city Of liquor joints and other evil re-
sorts. But the police have done their
share of this work and done it we'll.
That the police force can be immeas-
urably improved. though, there is no
doubt and it is a good thing that no
one sees this clearer than Mr.. Eaton,
it's chief. And an essential agent in its
improvement will be the placing of the
force under an adequate civil service
system. 1t will not be such one If
it merely IS to ascertain that candidates
for the force have the requisite quail
fications to entitle them to considera-
ton for places thereon. 1t should be
so devised that men who are appointed
to the force can feel secure in their po-
sitions, not during any single city adj
ministration, but for all time as long
as they conduct themselves properly
and maintain their competency as po-
lice officers.
A police force will never develop to
very high standards of efficiency as
long as it is kept in or near politics.
That has been the experience of the
older and larger cities of the country
and that is the reason why most of
them have put their police forces I'M
der stringent civil service systems.
And Topeka should get into the pro-
cession of progress in this regard as
she is doing so nobly in many others.

might be slightly injured in this way
90 men will be benefited.
The big packers OF the country are
the only ones who will be helped by
the retention of the duty on hides. And
IL such duty is retained they viii
soon get to the point where they Will
have the leather men and the shoe
manufacturers of the country at their
mercy. Under the protective duty on
hides they have been fast driving the
Independent tanners of the country out
of business. It is estimated that the
packers" now dominate from so to so
per cent of the tanneries in the land.
Leather dealers and shoe manufacture
ers, who are in a position to know, in
sist that if a duty on hides is contin-
used, it won't be long before the pack
ers" control absolutely the leather in
dustry and thereby the shoe industry
of the country. Nobody who knows
anything about the packers" VIII
imagine for a minute that they will
use their gigantic power in this re-
spect to reduce the price Of shoes.
When they get control of the leather
industry, they will do just the same
thing that they have done in the meat
industry. They will charge what they
please for their leather products. The
result will be inevitable. Instead Of
shoes becoming cheaper they will grow
more expensive and the prices asked
for them now are really burdensome.
