HARRIS GOES TO PRISON
Old Well Digger Sent To The Penitenliary
For Two Years Appeal Not Prop
erIy Taken

This morning Sheriff Revell took
John Harris, the old well-digger, to
he Maryland Penitentiary, where
Harris will begin serving term
If two years.
Some months ago Harris was
.ried and convicted of shooting with
intent to kill his son-in-law, James
Lane. He was found guilty, but an
appeal in the case was taken. The
papers in the appeal, however, were
not properly filed, and failure to
comply with requirements forfeited
the right of appeal, and today the old
negro was taken to Baltimore to
the State penitentiary.
Harris is q familiar figure about
Annapolis and vicinity. For years
he has been well.digger, and at one
time was known as the "house- top
preacher" having discoursed on re-
ligious subjects from the roof of an
old shack in the northwestern part of
town. Harris is very superstitious,
and has great faith in signs" and in
what the heavenly bodies portray.
He wears on his watch chain a string
of objects of all sorts, medals, beads
and various insignia, to each of which
be attaches great Importance.
4or some time he has been thought
t. be mentally weak. He shot his
son-fh-law in defense of his daughter,
whom the latter abused, it was said
The man fell wounded as he was
about to enter the house in an intox-
icated condition, so the testimony at
the trial attempted to show. There
was considerable feeling between the
two men.

Firmness on the part of the city government and recognition by the light company that the wishes of the people must be considered will' settle the present controversy, and the city will be saved from all the dangers which attend a municipal plant when competing with a strong private com pany in the same field.
 The light company can do nothing wiser than to recognize that contro- versies of this character arc never settled permanently until they arf settled on basis of justice to all concerned.
Arizona republican., 1910-02-16

But in the Judgment of The Repub- lcan, the step proposed does not go far enoughz7er rather. it must be fol- lowed by other steps.
 In order to settle this light con troversy permanently there should be an important amendment to the fran chise of the light company. The mayor and council ought to insist-and insist now-upon amending the franchise so that it will give the mayor and coun- cil the power to fix rates for electric light and gas. It is difficult for us to imagine that the company would be so foolish as to refuse its consent to such amended franchise. The clause providing for fixing rates by the city should provide. of course, for ltNlcW Oe tlit COul NS ab tht VII complaining consumers or the com pany itself. so that the rights of both sides would be preserved.
 In addition to this necessary amend ment of the franchise, the city coun- cil ought to provide by ordinance for meter inspection by a competent of- ficer of the city. /
 No more important duty has con- fronted the city government in years than the duty which confronts it now. And it will fail to do its duty if it does not insist upon an amended franchise, and meter inspection.
Arizona republican., 1910-02-16

and plant in order that there may be fair and independent judgment by an impartial commission as to what reductions should be made in the rates The company has acceded to this request. and has volunteered the
 pledge that it will put into force such
 schedule of rates as may be pro- posed by the commission.
 If the work of the proposed com mission results in a fair reduction of
 rates, the fair-minded people of Phoe-
 nix will abandon for the present any serious thought of municipal owner ship-but the reduction must be sub stantial. and it must appeal to that
 sense of fairness which animates the
 great body of citizens in this town.
Arizona republican., 1910-02-16

These questions will have to be satisfactorily answered before there can be a two-thirds majority of tax payers secured for municipal owner ship.
Arizona republican., 1910-02-16

If Phoenix were without a light plant there would be no divided opin- ion as to the expediency of installing municipal plant
 But that is not the situation. There is in actual operation a plant operated by a privately owned company.
 We have examined all the argu- ments presented in favor of voting bonds for a municipal plant. and we fail to find in any of them that any earnest attention has been given to the one problem which presents itself to every thinking citizen.
 This problem is to assure the city from disaster if it engages in the lighting business in competition with the company already in the field It is not to be assumed. we sup pose, that the owners of the light plant would sit idly by and permit the city to monopolize the business. or even take a large share of the business. without a struggle. The owners of the present plant cannot ,,Io +hair propor,,y ou-o-y. bapca thav would be compelled to operate it in self defense. That they would oper- ate it so long as their resources en- abled them to compete with the city, is not open to question. Inevitably then. it would be case of cutting rates-first by the city, presumably. then by the company; then by the city again, and so on. Where would it stop? It may be argued that patriotism would lead citizens to patronize the city plant exclusively. We are afraid there is not much weight belonging to that supposition. In the mass the people are patriotic and are moved by civic pride. Indi- vidually the citizen looks out for his own pocket How long the individual citizen would continue to buy light from the city when he could buy at lower rate from the competing plant. is a question which nobody can safely answer.
 Assuming that the owners of the present plant would determine to en- ting-say a campaign of ten years. for instance-in order to tire the city of the municipal experiment. who can give us assurance that the final re- suit would not be, after period of unprofitable operation, a decision by the people to sell the municipal plant at a loss?
 These questions will have to be satisfactorily answered before there can be a two-thirds majority of tax payers secured for municipal owner ship
Arizona republican., 1910-02-16

It becomes advisable, therefore. to look into the bond question on it's merits
 Such feeling as exists in favor of a municipal plant grows out of the popular conviction that the present schedule of rates for the service of the Pacific Gas and Electric com pany is too high. That this convic- ton is well founded we do not doubt. In none of the arguments presented by the company in it's advertisements have we found any satisfactory justf- fication of these rates when we con- slider the price which the company price at which it sells it at retail.
 To be sure. it is urged that the company has made heavy investments in plant, and that every consideration of fairness and justice requires that it should be permitted to gain req sonable profit upon the investment. And to the proposition that the com pany should be allowed to earn a fair profit, no fair-minded citizen will think of making objection.
 But there is the rub. How much of this investment covers the losses and mistakes of former owners. and how much should be charged to the pres ent splendid plant? Justice requires that the profits of public utility cor porations should be kept within req sonable bounds-for the obvious rea- son that the profits come from the public from which franchises have been donated. The enlightened judg- ment of the present day holds that a public utility orpOration-especially if by grace of the people it holds fran chises which amount to a practical monopoly-should be treated as a quasi-partner of the public By no line of sound reasoning can it be treated as 9 private business. the profits of which may be as large as the owner can extort from his cus- toners. The public utility corporation should be operated on lines of the ut most frankness toward the public There should be no mystery about the extent Of it's actual investment in plant nor any secrecy as to the de- tails and actual cost of operation. In arriving at the value of plant it is not proper to assign any value to the franchise The most intolerable abuses in American cities in their troubles with public utility corporations have been found in the demand of these corporations that they be permitted to earn profits on valuations assigned to franchise. If there is any more ab-

Some Observations On the Light
 Controversy.

As originally projected. the "elec- ton" which is to be held on the 24th instant was merely to register the wishes of the people of Phoenix on the question: Shall congress be asked to authorize the city of Phoenix to vote bonds in the sum of s3O0,OOO for a municipal electric light plant?
 As it is perfectly proper that the people should have the privilege of of a bond issue. and inasmuch as the bond question would not logically come up on its merits until after congress had authorized the formal bond election. The Republican, with a large number of good citizens. has been disposed to treat this prelmi- nary campaign with indifference.
 It appears now. however. that at least some of the promoters of the municipal ownership project intend. if this preliminary election goes in the affirmative. to treat the election as decisive and merely ask congress to ratify the result and authorize a bond issue without requiring a submission of the main question to the people At any rate, if the affirmative side carries it will undoubtedly be urged that the result is conclusive proof of a decision of the people of Phoenix to engage in the lighting business.
Arizona republican., 1910-02-16

Meanwhile, a step toward possible solution of the rate difficulty has been suggested. Some of the leading tax
 payers of the city have requested the Pacific Gas and Electric company to permit an examination of it's books
