PUBLIC UTILITY NOTES.


ment has been asked TO authorize an in
crease in the capital stock OF the Ottawa
Electric Company from $500, 900 to &c.
100000 and also of the Ottawa Gas Com
pany from 100000 to $4,000 600. The
growth of municipal ownership in Canada,
it is feared, is likely to make it difficult
for corporations operating under mu-
nicipal franchises to obtain this sort OF
legislation.
That public utility bonds are looked
upon as better investment than bonds OF
many other kinds Of corporations is shown
by the report Of the Controller Of the
Currency. Banks have increased their
holdings Of bonds OF water power, gas
and electric companies and street rail-
ways to a considerable extent. The 25-
1876 banks last year increased their own
ership Of this class of securities by 9.6
per cent. or about $50, 600. 900 The aver
age possession this year Of railroad bonds
and stocks was s64.796, against s65.6S2
last year; other public service corpora
tons, s23,954, against s22.556. and other
stocks and bonds. s4O,761, as compared
WIN Sot,S-S last year
The Ohio Public Service Commission has
received application from the Dayton
Power and Light Company for authority
to issue 100000 preferred and s49.75O
common TO be exchanged for 100000
Xenia Gas and Electric preferred at par
and s99,500 common at so. BY this
agreement the Dayton company will Sc
cure the entire capital stock Of the Xenia
company. This Is part OF a plan, IT is
said, TO extend its operations to adjacent
towns. and will greatly increase the COM
pany's earnings.
The Pacific Light and Power Corpora
ton, which has recently sold $4,000. 600
first and refunding per cent bonds. is
making rapid progress on the large hydro
electric development on Big Creek. Cal
Ii is expected the two new plants will
be in operation about August 1913, and
will have a capacity Of $4,000 horsepower
1t is said that the Southern Pacific in
terests are largely connected with the com
pany, and the Pacific Electric Railway
Company, which owns the Southern Pacific
electric lines IN Southern California, 10 the
principal purchaser Of power from the
Pacific Light and Power Corporation. II
is also said that the company contem-
plates the construction of 1000 miles Of
electric lines in addition to the 1000 miles
which It now has. 1t is estimated that
the cost will be about $50 900. 900, and
when completed will cover Southern Cali
fornia with trolley rails from Santa Bar
bara 10 San Diego.
The Public Service Commission I'd Dis
trict, has authorized the Public Service
Corporation Of Long Island to execute n
trust deed to secure an issue of $4,000
In bonds. The company is authorized 10
issue presently s30i. CO., in bonds and $500
Of common capital stock. The proceeds
are TO be used for the construction Of gas
mains and other improvements.

PROGRAM FOR POLITICAL PEACE.

vousy disagreed the best methor Of settling the Kho

purpored to come from the Delegate which things
said that were better left nhoght the complications of the
political situation in Hawaii are by no means growing less.
In the midst of all this furry the master minds, the
who wish to do that which IS best for the Territory Of Hawaii
and its cosmopolitan people will hold to an even course.
There too much to be DONE too much work for the
age citizen in promoting the progress of these islands, to
make bitter fractional war within the Republican party eth
or good politics or good sense.
No one knows what the Delegate will do but the B E.
cannot believe that he will fail to realize on his arrival
that the welfare of the Republican party IS bigger PROPOSE

been no controversy. That is, there
would have been no controversy in re-
gard to that. There might have been
some other controversy.
President Taft has done his best to
get along with the proGrcssives. lie
has appointed many of them to office.
lie has recognized them as being Re-
publiCans. lie has recognized their
views and has adopted many of them.
There Is no reason for deserving him.
lie stands for every good thing which
any other man stands for and he
| stands for none of the unwisc things
which some of the other men stand
for.
In regard to matters in Alaska, he
lid his best to find out the right and
when the right course was discovered,
he followed it and the Alaska dispute
| was ended. This Is characteristic of
Taft. with his judicial mind, all he
wants is the facts. He will then reach
a righteous decision.
He has appointed big men on the
bench of the Supreme Court. He has
| enforced the Sherman antitrust law
He sought to make no glory out of It.
He has not issued any proclamations
in regard to what he has done.
We believe President Taft will be
nominated. If he cannot be re-
elected, no other Republican can be
elected. If he cannot provoke en-
thusiasm, no other Republican can.

BAKER COURT STILL SURVIVES
A Legislative Bull Prevents the
Adjustment of the City Court
of Newton.

The city court of Newton, Baker
county, is not yet abolished by any
means, according to a decision of the
state supreme court, despite the fact
that an act of abolition was passed
at the last session of the legislature.
In the case of Cook VS.. the State,
which came up from Baker county to
the supreme court, the abolishing
the city court of Newton was attack
ed on the ground that it was uncon-
stitutiOnal
That court has just handed a de-
cision which holds that while the
act abolishing the court is constitu-
tiOnal it is null and void because it
failed to make any provisions for
the election through which it was to
be carried out.
The court is, therefore, still in ex-
lstence, and will continue to act I'M
I'll the legislature meets and amends
the law.
