What is Happiness7

Happiness IL the greatest paradox In
nature. 1t can grow In any soil. live
under any conditions. 1t defies envi-
ronment. 1t comes from within. 1t Is
the revelation Of the depths Of the In
ner life as light and heat proclaim the
sun from which they radiate. Happi-
ness consists not OF having. but Of be
ing; not Of possessing, but Of enjoy
ing. 1t Is the warm glow OF heart at
peace within itself. A martyr at the
stake may have happiness that king
on his throne might envy. Man Is the
creator of his own happiness. It is the
aroma OF life lived in harmony with
high ideals For what man has he
may be dependent on others: what he
is rests with him alone. What he OBJ
tains I'm life is but acquisition; what he
attains is growth. Happiness Is the

An Indoor Attack and a Cavalry Charge

At the battle Of Monterey, in the
Mexican war, our troops were able 10
command the streets Of the city with
their artillery. but they experienced
much difficulty In driving the Mexicans
from their houses. Accordingly. as the
city was built OF stone or adobe. the
Americans broke through the walls
from one house to another, fighting and
driving out the enemy as they proceed

Monterey was largely fought Indoors.

pany's property by the present owners, Mr. Mason having acted in the ca pacity of an assistant or adviser to MT. Walbridge in gathering some of the data under discussion, before the deal was consummated. He was ask ed if the state of mind of the public was investigated or taken into con- SideratiOn in the matter and replied promptly that it was. Questioning brought out that it had no bearing on the figures which were in the main secured by Mir Mason before Mir. Walbridge arrived, but that together they had inquired of about everybody they met in the city as to the attitude of the public toward the company and also as to the probable attitude of the commission toward the company or the new owners in the event of a purchase. He said that about every other man told him the commission was all right and would be fair, and about the same number told him it was all wrong and might be expected to make them trouble.
 MT Mason then stated that he was the first man then to announce that he believed the commission would treat the company fairly and had so

Allowing for such things the witness thought that the harmony between his figures Of reproduction cost and the com Danv's book figures of actual con- struction cost, was most surprising.
 Late in the day on the questioning of the commissioners, there seemed to he an effort to make MT. Mason say that the $1,1O0,000 reproduction cost submitted by him was his estimate of the valuation of the company's plant. This he was very careful not to do. He said that while the plant could be rebuilt for that figure it possesses an added investment value by reason of it's location in promising and grow

In the cross examination efforts were made in every way possible to shake Mr Massons figures. It had been cOntended by Expert Koiner in his report that no interest charges should be allowed on money borrowed for construction purposes until after the payments for machinery, etc, be- came due. MT. Mason held a con- trary view. He pointed out that one must first secure the money before entering upon large undertakings and that when secured the interest must begin whether the money was spent or not. There was much discussion of this and other points bearing on the same matter respecting how much money the company would have to keep on hand, how much of a figure the local monthly revenues would play in the premises, the monthly expenditures for material, etc, etc
 It was also contended by the wit ness that one cannot in figuring a reproduction cost. take into account all the details of local conditions dur ing the time of previous construction as there are many things that do not show of book record, incidentals that

 In the morning session MT Mason introduced an exhibit as an answer to questions submitted to the company by the corporation commission after the filing of the complaint against it. These tabulations were prepared with a view of showing the construc- tiOn cost, reproduction cost, operating costs, financial condition. service. etc. etc. Two pages of this exhibit are herewith reproduced as bearing chief Iy on the construction cost and re production cost, and Mir. Mason says it is a report he is proud of and for this reason:
 He first made his own inspection of the property and then prepared his estimate of what it would cost to reproduce the plant today. The sum total was $1,255, ,943 Included in that table is the item of power plants now dismantled, valued at $156.943 Film mating those plants as admittedly of no present value, leaves a net repro duction cost today of $1,099, 0OO Then some two or three weeks later. he went over the company's books in Los Angeles to see if he could find out just exactly what it had cost the company to build the plant as it stands today. The result is shown in the other table summing of original cost" the total cost being $1,134,- 7O6.33 From the close similarity of results he contends that the company has done about as we'll as it could have done and that he could not not today reproduce the plant for a great deal less money. placing it's construc- tion valuation today as indicated at about s1,1OO,OOO The tables follow:

Yesterdays session of the hearing of the complaint against the Pacific Gas x Electric company before the corporation commission, was confined to the testimony of R. S. Mason who IS associated with F. S Viele in the management of the company. The principal question before the commits sion is to ascertain the actual value Of the cOmpany's investment The wide differences of opinion not only between this group of citizens and that one, but between experts them selves, is the stumbling block, for everybody, including the company management, admits that the com pany should be allowed only such rates as will give a proper return. The commissions expert places a Ire producing" valuation less than half as great as the company claims and the states experts occupy a middle ground. Yesterday was devoted to an effort to discover not only the re-
 production valuation but the entire
 valuation as an investment, from the
 viewpoint of the owners.

 flied as an expert in such matters by
 stating that in the course of his

The morning session consisted of his direct examination and the afternoon session of cross ex- animation by the attorney general and his assistant. During the day there were many incidents of repartee and numerous differences of opinion ex- pressed. but all was carried on with good humor and MT.
