For instance, the Pacific Gas X Electric Company now has on file plans and esti- mates calling for expenditures of not less than $SO,OO0 within the next year. These expenditures will go for extensions, i'm proyements and bettelments to property which any reputable engineer will acknOwl- edge Is now in first-class condition.
 Of all lines of public utility, electrical undertakings are the most hazardous the most apt to lose the capital invested in them.
 DO YOU THINK TT IS BETTER TO MORTGAGE THE PEOPLES PROP ERTY AND USE THE PEOPLES MONEY IN TAKING THESE RISKS, OR THAT THE RISKS SHOULD BE LEFT TO PRIVATE ENTERPRISE?
 The statement has been made that ml- nicipal electric plant in Phoenix would sell service at half the cost now charged. So far as we can discover the declaration is a mere GUESS, based solely upon cer- tain reputed figures from other localities
 Comparisons of electric rates cannot be made in this way. Every community has conditions peculiar to itself ALL of these conditions must be taken into considera- tion in contrasting rates of both private and municipal plants.
 When the municipal ownership move ment was started its advocates considered $200,OOO sufficient to erect and equip the plant. But when it came to presenting the subject to vote the amount was increased by the stroke of a pen to $30O,OO0-a mere trifle of $100,000.

How Much MH The Proposed
 Municipal Electric Plant Cost?

Phoenix can be built for $200,OOO or for $300,000
 Some kind of an electric plant can be built for $200,0OO. but it could not possibly serve the entire city. nor give satisfactory service.
 In Pasadena, it will be remembered. the original ENGINEERING ESTIMATES were for $125OOO But in few years nearly $40O,O0O has been invested in the Pasadena plant, and NOW A FURTHER ISSUE OFBONDS IS CONTEMPLATED
 Phoenix ten years ago was credited with a population of something over 5000 To- day it is claimed there are more than 2O.- GOO inhabitants. As the city grows it is necessary for any electric plant to ex- pand. If the city owns a plant, increas- cd population will mean MORE BOND ISSUES.
 There is danger that Phoenix, like many other cities, may create an institution which will call continually for funds at times when the city's credit Is needed to the utmost to carry out vital projects which private capital cannot undertake
 The electrical art is about thirty years old. The pace of electrical invention has been the most rapid of any ever known. Millions are spent every year for improved machinery and equipment to replace other machinery which but short time before was considered the most modern and econ omcal Some systems have been recon strueted threec and even four times. An-electrical plant cannot stand still. It must keep up reasonably we'll with new inventions and methods and it MUST EX- PAND CONTINUALLY IF TT IS SERV- ING A GROWING COMMUNITY.
 There is probably no other industry in the country in which there is more con tinuons and more insistent cry for more capital-NEW capital which some one must provide.

DOUGLAS WILL HAVE:
 AN AVIATION MEET
Hamilton and Willard Will Be There
 February 26.

Douglas. Ariz., Feb. 16.-(Special Correspondence to The Republican.)- Douglas does not propose to have Los Angeles and Phoenix carry off all the aviation honors in the southwest. Ar judgements have been completed for an exhibition here February 18th and =, when Charles K. Hamilton of New York and Charles F. Willard of Bos- ton will be the drawing cards.
 The aviators will arrive in Douglas the Wednesday preceding the exhibi ton dates, and their machines will be tried out in Sportsmen's park. where the flights will also be made. Hamilton will use an eight cylinder Curtiss bi plane Willard will accompany him here with a four cylinder Curtiss ma chine Following the success of the meet at Los Angeles, the whole south west got the aviation fever. which was further intensified by the success of

 Douglas has an aeroplane inventor of her own. He is A. NJ. Williams and his machine is now completed and is standing in a shed not far from Sports mems park. It is constructed some what along the lines of the Bleriot ma chine, but has some features which are patched by Williams. The people of Douglas have taken much interest in Williams and his flyer, and in order to assist him in the purchase of the style of motor which he desires to in- stall portion of the proceeds of the Douglas aviation exhibition on the dates mentioned will be donated to him for this purpose. He has installed a little motor in the new monOplane, but 1t is not what could be relied upon. It is the aim of the city to assist him in perfecting his machine so that he may he able to give flights at the Fourth or JuiN CeleDdtion to DC Htiu HeTe III the summer. Bisbee and Douglas hold these celebrations alternately in each city. and this year the day will be Ob- served as never before in the Shelter eIty Williams went to Phoenix tn get few pointers in the machines used there during the meet

FeurriegaI cashed s10 Check So Easily, He Thought He Would Try $50 One.

About as clumsy forgery as was William Feurriegal of South Seventh avenue yesterday. While under the influence of liquor he made out two checks on the Valley bank one for s1O and the other for $50. The small Ter check was cashed at the Arizona Mercantile company. of which Frank check F'eurriegal tried to pass at the Chicago Bazaar on H. Rosenstein, but the latter shrewdly sent a clerk down to the bank with the check and de- tained Feurriegal till the clerk rushed back with the news that it was N. G. The utterer of the check was then placed under arrest.
 Feurriegal dropped in at the Mer- cantile company's office in the morn ing and offered the Sl0 check to Tom Coyle, whom he knew. Coyle paid over the money. but after thinking about it and looking at the check later he became suspicious and spoke to Leeper about it. Leeper took it to the bank and learned that it was fic- titious. The check was signed with the name w. H. Keimeyer. and it did not require the services of hand writing expert to show that the sig nature was in the same handwriting as all the rest of the check. Leeper went to the police station.
 In the meanwhile Feurriegal went to the Chicago Bazaar and bought about. $20 worth of clothes. He of fered the $50 check in payment The check was very suspicious looking. While it bore the date Feb. 17, the check itself was old and worn. and had been patched with paper in two placeS.

cost, illustrates one of the vital differences between private and municipal ownership. It extends from planning to the last de- tails of operation.
 Private ownership depends upon busi- ness methods and scientific accuracy as the malnspr1ngs of its existence; munici- pal ownership IS cOnstitutiOnally unable to apply these principles.
 Men who confess they don't know some of the simplest electrical terms in common use mount public platforms and endeayor to instruct citizens in the task of building municipal electric plant in the hopes of wrecking another electric plant already es- tabllshed at cost of hundreds of thous- ands of dollars
 These same nien who admit they don't know the meaning of the word used to des- ignate the unit of electrical energy feel perfectly competent to discuss electric service rates at length, and to promise you imaginary prices based on simple guess work
 They. point with assumed horror at the difference between the wholesale rate which we pay the government for power and the lighting rates which we charge small consumers.
 But in the same breath they point to the municipal ownership plant of River side, California, which buys electric energy from a private water power company at an excessively low rate made under con tract years ago, and sells 1t to small con sumers for more than SIXTEEN TIMES what the municipal plant pays for It.
 Do you not think the people of Phoenix ought to know what they are going to do, and what they stand a show of accomplish ing. before they mortgage their property to build competing municipal electric plant?

As a stockholder in the City of Phoenix YOU will be called upon to vote for or against proposal to MORTGAGE all property in the city in order to borrow $300,000 to build municipal electric plant
 The men who are trying to fasten COM . FITTING municipal ownership upon Phoe- nix tell you they have a report from a firm of engineers which says that ..It would SEEM that $200,000 would be suf- ficient to build the plant complete includ- ing real estate and operating capital sui ficient TO CARRY TT THROUGH THE FIRST STAGES OF SECURING BUSI- NESS"
 Why has not this engineering report been printed and published in detail in sufficient time for voters to study and yer ify it before the electiOn!l
 Who is the engineering firm of Shipman, Denny & Rhame, of San Francisco? What is their experience and standing! How many eecN.c plants have they designed and installed and where are these plants
 Did this San Francisco firm send rep fesentative to Phoenix to inquire into local conditions and to base his estimates on professional data, or was the entire matter handled ''by correspondence2'
 Does the plan referred to contemplate generation by steam or by water power!
 HAVE YOU, MR. TAXPAYER, EVER NOTICED ANY EXPERT REPORTS REGARDING THE COST OF OPERAT- ING. AND THE PROSPECTS FOR COM MERCIAL SUCCESS IN COMPETITION WITH A FULLY EQUIPPED PLANT ALREADY ESTABLISHED?

Like the s10 check it was written with an indellible pencil and bore the same number-SS-as the other check. The name signed was D. A. Cobill, also in the same handwriting as the body of the check. Rosenstein craftily engaged Feugriegal in con- versation while a clerk was burning the ground between the store and the Valley bank He came back fast CT than he went and rushed in with the information that the check was no good. ROsenstein then grabbed Feurriegal and led, him toward the bank. The latter seemed perfectly willing to go and insisted that there was some mistake. "The check is perfectly good. It was given to me by the man I work for he said
 While on the way to the bank Feur- riegal was nabbed by Officer Gaskin, who was walking about with Leeper in search of him. At the police sta- ton Feurriegal denied the kindergar- ten check work. but could give no adequate explanation of the situation. He had been drinking and could hardly write his own name He had nearly B left of the money he got from Leeper.
 Very few of those who have been caught at the crime of uttering fic- titious checks ever seem to arrive at that little summer resort down in Florence. Merchants have been in the habit of dropping the prosecu- tion as soon as the criminal makes good the amount, and consequently the practice has become general and attended with little danger by the one who obtains the money by this means. A jail sentence might be an object lesson and save other mer- chants from future losses.
