What Our Profits ReaHy Are

The best answer to the financial gibbcrish about the earnings of the Pacific Gas X Electric Company, which has appeared in the Arizona Gazette is an accurate statement of our earnings for the years 1908 and 1909.
 We give you below a complete and correct state ment of our earnings.
 This statement shows that receiving only , per cent profit on the INvENTORIED, PHYsI- CAL VALUE of the property.
 The ABANDONED WATER POWER PLANTS on the Arizona Canal. are not included in this in- ventory
 Nothing whatever for FRANCHISE RIGHTS. CONTRACTS or other clements of intangible value included in this inventory.
 The statement shows that the physical value of electric property actually devoted to public service is at least $436S1970
 It shows that the physical value of our gas prop erty actually devoted to public use is at least $1665SS.40
 In the operating expenses allowance has been made for depreciation at the low rate of per cent. The item of general expense includes the cost of management. s,lperinendence office expense read ing metes collections bad debts rents advertising. telephone service taxes insurance and license fees. During the last five months of 1909, the reduced electric lighting rates and the reduced gas rates were in effect
 o+l>o+ cal operation $S,37:54 less in 1909 than they the year before
 Our SENDOUT of electrical energy in 1909 was 20 per cent greater than the previous year, but NET EARNINGS decreased more than 23 per cent. Is this not sufficient proof you that made the material cut in electrical rates which enc mics deny?
 Take the time to read our statement carefully It tsprovcs the misleading and incorrect gossip which has been talked and printed about the value of property and our earnings therefrOm.
 It will be noted that the net earnings for 1908 practically agree with those from Poor's Manual quoted by the Gazette after proper allowances have been made for depreciation. Poors Manual is Nolllne o SlISllcS prepared Tor the use or invest ors. Financial houses representing investors n- sist that the revenues of utility company and above OPERATING EXPENSES shall be at least twice the interest to be paid. on the bonds For this reason it is usual in making up statements for the Mammal and other similar publications, to give the earnings WITHOUT depreciation deduct ed for the bondbuyer invariably makes allow

ance for depreciation in computing the real net earnings of the company.
 The expense of depreciation is simply the expense of replacement and is in addition to maintenance and repairs.
 The constant expense due to replacement of parts of public utility plant is hardly understood by the ..pnblic. Nevertheless, depreciation is extremely yrvital in the conduct of utility properties.
 Everything in an electric or gas plant has a cer- tain period of useful life When this period is ex- hausted the machine or article is reduced to scrap OF junk value.
 It is necessary in any manufacturing industry to devise ways for meeting the expense of deprecia- ton in order to keep the property whole.
 The United States Supreme Court and public service commissions of Massachusetts. New York and Wisconsin. have decided that the expenses of depreciation should be met out of revenues that the revenues should be large enough to cover this con siderable item.
 The creation of depreciation reserve is prac- tcc followed by all SOUNDLY MANAGED prl- vatc and municipal plants and is done fully . much in the interests of the public in the inter ests of stockholders

overcrowded, and at present the voting
of bonds for the purpose appears to be

wary"
GO ont" said Williebill, "the
fire would burn your line and melt
your hook"
Don't use hook" said Angel
imp. Use a ball of asbestos,
wound tight and soaked in butter.
Drop the ball into the fire and the
gassowary smells the butter and
swallows the ball. OF course the
ball won't burn and of course you
ca nsee it right through the fire
fish. Take q metal'scoop and SCOOP
out the ball and you've got the
gassowary with it,"
But how ever could you keep
him after you got him?" asked the
Dollchild.
Don't know how other folks
keep him, but put him in a kettle
of red-hot tabasco sauce. That was
just about right fer him. He was
the .cutest pet you ever saw. He
used to stick his head out of the
sauce and I'd drop Jumps of dough
into his mouth and they'd be baked
biscuits before he could swallow
them"
"Of course you have him yet ?"
Nope. One day he swan
against the side of the kettle and
of course he melted It. Tabasco
sauce all ran out and SO did the
gassowary. He flopped across the
red-hot stove and fell in a pot of
boiling water and that ended
him."
"Ad. how could scalding water
hurt him, IL he could stand fire2"
asked Williebill.
Sure 1t hurt him." asserted
Angelimp. "Soon as he fell in
there. 1t seemed so cold to him
that he froze to DEATH"
