JUST A SUGGESTION.

While our city councilmen are en-
deavoring to protect the investment OF
. Boston capitalist in the local electric
light company and ct the same time
convince the residents of Olympia they
are being treated right. they want to
remember there are several ways of
killing the same goose. We hope
Councilman Funk was right when he
said some good would come out of this
investigation, no matter what happen
ed. but we are prone to remark the
present acts and attitude of all of our
councilmen save one are not indicative
of any great measure of relief.
The argument has been advanced
that II competing company were per-
mitted to do business, rate war might
continue for a period but in the end
the two companies would be consoli-
dated and that then the users of cleo
tricity would be compelled to pay
rates based upon the combined capital
jzation or investment Of the two COM
panies. The gentlemen who advance
that argument should have more sense.
The rates are based upon the public
service commissions own valuation,
not on the companies capitalization,
not on the investment, not on the
original value of machinery and equip
ment. but its real value at the time the
valuation is made. Obsolete and worn
out machinery is not valued as new,
as 1t may be on company's books and
usually is in its capitalization. It's
value is based solely on what it is &C.
tually worth, not on what somebody
had to pay for it some time or other.
But IL the council does not want a
competing company. as appears to be
the case, 1t might follow this sugges-
ton: use the imminence of the grant.
ing Of such a franchise as a club to
force q new and decent franchise out
Of the present company and rates a
little more commensurate with COM
mon sense. replacing the franchise and
rates now in force. 1t has an oppor
tunity to break the grip the present
company has always had upon the city
