DENIES MAKING PEOPLE
PAY FOR R.R. POWER
Edison Company Official Answers
the Charges Made by
SCattergood

In reply to a letter addressed to
voters by E. +. Scattergood, in which
he states that the lighting companies
are selling power 23 per cent below cost
to the railways, while they add this loss
to the bills of the small lighting con-
sumers of the city, c. S. Walton of the
Edison company issued the following
denial last night:
I'm this statement Mr.. Scattergood
claims that the power companies are
selling electric current to the railway
lines of the city at 23 per cent below
the cost of manufacture, and are fore
ing the electric light users to pay this
loss. together with profit, in excess of
the amount charged for the current
that they themselves use.
"This is on it's face false. In the
first place it would be poor business,
and even a corporation cannot right
fully be accused of that. In the second
place, using the Edison company as an
example, the figures quoted are shown
to be false. The present bills of the
small consumer never could bear the
additional load of % per cent on the
tremendous total of power that is used
by the railway companies.
ION basis of $4,000, 600 investment,
with $4,000 lighting consumers, 1t Is
readily seen that the cost of installing
each customer, counting the pro ratio
of the generating plant and the dis
tributing system, is more than $3.50.
"At this figure there is a fixed charge
on each consumer per year for interest
at per cent of SIS; for depreciation,
at per cent of $780, and for taxes
and insurance at 1 per cent of $3.50.
This makes a fixed charge of $50 per
year for each of the $4,000 consumers.
mayor Farley of Pasadena has stated
in a public address that it requires two
years time at 81 a month for lighting
charge to pay for each meter alone. He
also stated that electric machinery up
to date six years ago is obsolete now.
1t would never do to permit q charge
of one-sixth of the investment per year
for depreciation.
1.-THE average consumer of the Edi-
son company uses $2.20 worth Of cur
rent per month. The length of time
that it would require for him to pay his
cost of installation, $3.50, can easily be
estimated.
TT costs just as much to make out
the bill and just as much to collect the
account of the small consumer as 1t
does to handle that of the railway
company.
"On top of this the railway COM
panies use their own transmission lines,
while the small consumer must have
his line furnished him.
1T can easily be seen that the state
ment that power companies sell their
current to the railways at a 23 per cent
loss and make up the amount on the
small consumer is untrue.
1.-THE opposite is the case. The use
of immense quantities of power con-
tinues for practically twenty-four hours
per day by the Huntington systems and
the Los Angeles and Pacific lines
brings down the cost Of lighting to the
people,"

BIC RALLY HELD
IN PICO HEIGHTS
Good Government Followers Fill
Snook'S Hall to Hear Can
didates Speak
ENTHUSIASTIC OVER RATES
Pasadenan Gives Facts Regard
ing Cost of Electricity at
Municipal Plant
ENTHUSIASTIC OVER RATES

One of the most enthusiastic rallies
of the good government campaign was
held last evening in Snooks hall, rep
resentative gathering of Pico Heights
residents being in attendance and
showing great interest in the speeches
made by f. ]. Whiffen, G. H. Stewart
C. w. Koiner John Perry Wood, Henry
Stanley Benedict and Prof. Il. A.
Handley.
Mr.. Stewart outlined the work under
taken by the Good Government organ
ization in this campaign and then
urged the audience to listen atten-
lively to what Mr.. Koiner and Mr.
Wood had to say about electric light
rates.
WHIFFEN SPEAKS
Mr. Whiffen told his listeners that he
intends to act as one of the people, Tor
all of the people, throughout his term
of office, II he is elected.
c. w. Koiner, general manager Oh tne
Pasadena municipal electric plant, was
the next speaker. and before he had
occupied the platform for three minutes
the assemblage applauded him and at
various times throughout his speech
showed appreciation and enthusiasm
by hearty applause.
PASADENA's FIGHT
The sneaker told Of the fight that the
citizens of Pasadena waged in 1906 for
n municipal lighting plant and now
DESPITE the legal snares set by the Ed
son company the city finally won out
and is now furnishing energy at .Olf2.
THE protesting electric companies OF Los
Angeles assert, according to the speaker,
that they cannot furnish energy at I
cents. Mr.. Koiner stated that IL tne
Pasadena plant can furnish 1t at .oll2
the protesting companies can surely
furnish 1t at cents and derive profits
The listeners were taken by surprise
when Koiner stated the prices paid by
this city for 250 and 500 kilowatt hours
compared to the prices paid by other
cities. His figures showed the rates In
Los Angeles much higher than in
Seattle and Cleveland
MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP
In concluding, Mr.. Koiner requested
that his listeners carefully compare the
figures, for if they do so, said the
sneaker. they will vote for municipal
ownership and vote for the men that
are fit to carry on project or that
kind for the city.
John Perry Wood, city attorney or
Pasadena and Good Government candi-
date for superior judge, was given an
ovation. Mr.. Wood urged the people
to protect themselves from eXorbitant
charges at the hands of the electric
light corporations and to drive selfish
private interests from the control Of
public affairs.
IANDLEY,s ADDRESS
Prof. L.. A. Handley of Occidental
college talked on the benefits to be de-
rived from municipal ownership and
lauded Messrs. Whitfen and Stewart
for the work accomplished by them in
the furtherance of the Good Govern
ment organizations work
Henry Stanley Benedict delivered the
closing shots of the rally, and in few
words predicted that tomorrow the sit
izens of Los Angeles will back the
Good Government forces and win a
great victory.

Increase In Scott Township
Not Marked
TAXES WILL FALL SHORT
Salt Rock Shows a Better
Condition.
Land Valuations Are Figured to the
Cent I'm Salt Rock-Ipcrease Not
Enough to Meet the Demands.

Frank Hill, appraiser for Scott
township, and John Buck. appraiser
for Salt Rock township, have made
their returns to the county auditor.
Scott township shows an increase
over the old duplicate in the new ap-
praisement of 61,110. The new APP
praisement totals 477,270 for lands
and buildings, exclusive of exempted
property. The old duplicate shows
the same properties to have been
valued at 415,160.
There are in the township 15,45S
acres of land and this Is valued al
from "a TO 2S per acre.
The old rate of taxation in the
township was Is mills and this ap.
yielded in taxes for all purposes, ST..
490.Ss. Applying the limit of 15
mills to the now valuation II Is found
1t will yield for all purposes s5,159.O5
or 2,331.92 less than under the old
regime.
The returns from Salt Rock town.
ship show total of 13,903 acres OF
land with a total valuation, buildings
included, of $395,29O. The highest
valuation for farm lands Is $3.50 and
the lowest is $14.30. The returns arf
cause land valuations are figured
cause land Valuations are figured
down to the cent. Some valuations
are $29.01 per acre. In fact the
cents are shown In almost every val
uation.
The old duplicate shows a total oI
| $343, $40, so, that the increase In the
new valuation over the old duplicate
Is $51,95O.
Figuring the old duplicate with the
| old tax rate of 16.2 1t is founG tina
Salt Rock paid i'm taxes for all pur'
poses last year the sum of $j,562.10
The new limit tigurcd on the new val
uation will produce in taxes $5,920.S5
Il difference in favor of the new ap
prascment of $367.25. This differ

COULD NOT Walk
ACROSS THE ROOM
Parents of Growing Girls Should
All Be Interested In This
Ohio Case.

When the young girl develops into wo.
manhood there is always the danger OF a
general breakdown unless the blood i
pure and red. This is especially true il
she overstudies or overworks.
1t Is a danger, however, that can bt
easily averted II the warning symptoms
of impoverished blood are promptly heed
ed. Pallor, loss of spirits, depression
lack of ambition and shortness OF breath
are some of these symptoms which car
not be mistaken. TO ensure healthfu
development steps must be taken at once
to build up the blood, whenever these
symptoms are present. The experience
OF hundreds of women has proved that
Dr.. Williams Pink Pills are the best
medicine for this purpose. They are 8
certain blood builder and strengthen and
give health TO the entire body.
Mrs. w. II. Bailey, who lives on r.
+. ID. No. 3, Chillicothe, Ohio, near the
Sulphur Lick Springs, gave DR.. Williams
Pink Pills to her daughter after Other
remedies had failed. She says:
Last fall my daughter, Ora, aged six
teen, took heavy cold at an unfortunate
time. She was sick for three month.
and was confined TO bed for week.
She was all run down and suffered from
severe nervous spells and headaches
She was pale and kept losing in fesf
right along. II she attempted TO walk
across the room she would become ex'
hausted and l was compelled to take hel
out of school.
"One day as I was reading paper
saw that DIR. Williams Pink Pills haG
cured cases like hers and began at once
to have her take them. They helped
her almost at once, her color came back
and she grew stronger. After giving
the. pills thorough trial she was cured
and able to attend school and has beer
strong and healthy since"
Parents of girls who go into decline a.
they reach the period OF development
should not neglect the first warning symp
toms for the whole future health OF tn,
child depends upon the way in which
she passes this critical time.
