The wageworker., 1910-12-16
of the Lincoln Traction Co.

When the consolidation of the two street
railway companies was effected, the officers of
the consolidated company announced in the
press that they accepted the previous valuations
of the two street railway properties by the
Railway Commission as the basis of earnings.
This position has been consistently maintained
by the Lincoln Traction Company every day
since the consolidation.
Every fair minded citizen comedies the
right to reasonable return on this valuation.
Every intelligent citizen knows that such re-
turn is necessary to invite capital to build new
lines of railway. Every citizen knows that
street railway activity is the most important
factor in building the city,
When the United States Supreme Court
fixed the basis of earnings of the New York
Gas monopoly it paid no attention to the bonds
and stocks. 1t held that it was confscation to
reduce the income on the valuation below the
rate that capital commands in enterprises of a
similar character. 1t treated the capital allow
ed as basis of earnings as an entirety, ignor-
ing the rate at which the company could bor-
row money by giving first mortgage on its
plant. 1t imposed no restrictions on the distri-
The wageworker., 1910-12-16

button of the income, Notwithstanding the fact
that the par value of stocks exceeded the basis
of earnings
Affirming the same principle the Min
nesota Supreme Court says: 3It is immaterial
how the property has been split up into differ
ent rights, interests and claims For the pur-
pose of fixing rates, holders of all these stand
in the shoes of the sole owner of the property
unincumbered.
When the basis of earnings has been fixed
the stock and bonds as between the public and
the company operate merely to distribute the
income allowed on the valuation A fair and
just return on this valuation is not rendered
unfair and unjust by distributing it among
stockholders even though the par value of their
holdings exceeds the valuation.
The paramount problem in this city is the
laying of an industrial and commercial fOunda-
ton that will insure growth and prosperity
That foundation cannot be laid without the CO.
operation of every industry that is factor in
building the city. A policy that reduces the
income of every large institution to the very
margin of confscation IS not the policy that
built Los Angeles, Seattle and Tacoma.

COURT-MARTIAL REBUKED
Gen. Howe Criticises Military Tri
bunal for Lax Methods.

Gen. Howe, commanding the Depart
ment Of the East. has administered a
singing rebuke to the geenral court mar
tial which recently tried the case of Corp.
William F. Stretch. AID Company, Coast
Artillery Corps, at Fort du Pont Del.
That soldier was charged with conduct
to the prejudice of good order and mill
tary discipline. 1t was specified that he
had sworn he was single" when in fact
he was married. He pleaded guilty
without criminality.' The court accepted
the plea and sentenced him to reduction
to the ranks, to confinement at hard la
Dor for six months and to forfeit $40 per
month during that period.
In reviewing the case Gen. Howe said
the court should have rejected the plea
as made or treated 1t as a plea of not
guilty and called for evidence. The de-
partment commander" says Gen. Howe,
cannot condemn too strongly such lax
and careless procedure, which requires,
as a matter of law, the disapproval of the
proceedings, findings and sentence Corp.
Stretch will be released from arrest and
restored to duty"

Secretary Wilson's meat inspectors
will continue to inspect lard substitute
and not a pound of that article can go

less it bears the mark .'U. S. inspected

This is the gist Of an opinion render

sence in Alaska of Mr.. Wickersham
The opinion declares that lard sub
stitute, which is a cooking compound
made up of one-fifth animal fat and
four-fifths cottonseed oil. is fairly
within the definition of q meat food
product and must be inspected
This opinion confirms the construc-
ton placed upon the meat inspection
law. said Acting Secretary Of State
Hays today. We have inspected LARD

ed and never had any doubt about the
matter But some manufacturers
thought inspection Of their product
was not required"
