ALL ELECTRIC LIGHT
TAXES ABOLISHED BY
MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP
Editor Sentinel:

Editor Sentinel:
In the last issue of The Sentinel is
copied an article from one of the most
unscrupulous, reaCtionary and bitter
ly anti-labor newspapers in America,
the Los Angeles Times. The chief
burden of it's song is that municipal
ownership of public service utilities
increases taxes. This is not true.
Wherever the system of public
ownership of public service utilities
has been put into operation in Amer
lea or elsewhere, the established pol
icy is to make them self-sustaining'
This was the policy of Grand June
tion with our waterworks. Previous
to 1902, when a private company
owned the old water system, fire
hydrant rental was charged the city,
amounting to seven or eight thousand
dollars per annum. After city own
tership all hydrant rentals and all
taxes therefor were abolished, the
rates to private consumers fixed at
less than one-third of the rates that
were charged by the old water COM
pany and yet were sufficient to sus-
tain the water works system without
taxation. So, too, no taxes are lev
led for the $3.50, 900 mountain water
extension, the plant still being self
sustaining with low rates.
The policy of the city will doubt
less be the same with our electric
light and power system. AS soon as
city ownership of the plant is estab-
lished, not only will the rates to pri-
vate consumers be reduced from 60
Per cent to rs per cent OF present
rates, but also the entire charge now
paid by the city to the electric light
company for street and public light
ing will be abolished, amounting now
to about 81, 500 per annum. This
will be a very material reduction OF
taxes, as the bill for street and pub
lie lighting is one of the heaviest
which the city now has to meet, being
almost one-siXth of all our city taxes.
This saving will be sufficient each
year to pay the present salaries of all
the five city commissioners and still
leave an amount sufficient to pay
the proposed increase in the salaries
of the three commissioners: or, If put
into a sinking fund, would in ten
years, with interest, build a far bet
ter plant than the present one. No
other proposition before the people
would so greatly reduce city taxes as
the municipal ownership of the cleo
trio light and gas plants. Under pri-
vate ownership, electric light taxes
are heavy; under municipal owner
ship, no such taxes exist. Every tax
payer should vote for municipal own
ership and thus abolish all our rap
idly growing electric light taxes.

TELEPHONES STOP
STOCK STEALING
sentIneI speclal serviee.

Sentinel Special Service.
Denver, Aug. 25.-One of the big
live stock insurance companies, that
has been writing insurance to pro-
tect against stealing horses and other
live stock, has decided to withdraw
from the business in this section of
the west. The stealing OF horses, it
IS stated, has fallen off so that the
demand for insurance of this charac-
ter has been very slight in the past
few years.
q attribute great part of this to
the widespread use of telephone, "
said an official of the insurance COM
pany. I'm the days when we first
began writing insurance on stock in
the mountain states a horse thief US
ually got away with his prize. He
was usually mounted on as good a
horse as those who followed him,
and, as he had several hours start,
was seldom caught. Now it is easy
to arouse an entire state by tele-
phone and cause the arrest of all sus-
poets until the thief is found. Since
one telephone company covers all the
states in the intermountain country,
they pay special attention to emer-
gency messages intended to recapture
stolen horses. The owners of horses
seem to have come to the conclusion
that it is better to spend their money
for telephone tolls than TO lay it out
Tor insurance. In the past year we
have had many owners of stock re-
fuse to renew their policies, saying
that the presence of the telephone in
their house was a practical form of
insurance and that stealing stock
would soon be a thing of the past.
Nearly all of them told of some incl
dent where stolen stock had been re-
captured by the use of the telephone
and at cost considerably less than
our yearly premium. We used to
charge pretty stiff rates, but we have
had to drop lower and lower as the
telephone has come into more general
use and now the owners of stock have
come to have a contempt for the
thieves knowing they can catch them
easily"
At the offices of the Mountain
States Telephone & Telegraph Com
pany the statement was made that
hundreds of captures of horse thieves
who have been trying to run off live
stock are made every year through
their 600 telephone exchanges. In
the seven western states in which the
company Opefates-Montana Wyom-
ing, Idaho, Utah, Colorado, New Mex
leo and Arizona-stock stealing has
diminished perceptibly in the past
few years. The company sends in
general alarm to all offices in the
district when notified of the theft of
stock and notifies the live stock as
sociations, thus affording a special
and peculiar service to the commun-
itV Eimilnr tn that srTVpn Inv tha In w
Officers. In a great many cases the
stock thief does not get a dozen miles
from the ranch where his crime was
committed before the telephone has
warned the surrounding country and
made his escape impossible. Evidence
against him is secured by the tele-
phone also, making his conviction
certain. 1t is estimated that the
stock recovered last year by the use
of the telephone amounted to more
than a million dollars.

Washington, Aug. 25.-Federal
Judge Emory F. Speer of Georgia.
charged with official miseoiduct In
papers filed with the house commit
tee on Judiciary, will attend any hear
inss that the committee may have to
take evidence on the case.
He has telegraphed to Representa-
tive Hughes of Georgia, a lifelong
friend and college classmate, asking
mat he arrange for mis- appearance at
the proper time.
Mr.. Hughes Immediately conferred
with Chairman Clayton OF the COM
mittee and later notified Judge Speer
that he would be permitted to be
present with counsel.
A conference of the Georgia dele
CATION in the house for consideration
OF the case has been called for TODAY.
The meeting will be held at the capt.
tol and all the members of the dele
CATION, except Representative Rod
denberry and Edwards, who are out
of the city, will attend. The purpose
is to consider what course the delega-
tion should adopt in view of the
charges made against a federal Judge
within their state.
1t is likely that a subcommittee of
two or three will be appointed to re-
view the charges before the commit
tee-a right which Chairman Clayton
will accord. The subcommittee will
report to the delegation as to whether
the charges are sufficiently serious to
warrant action, which probably would
be in the form of a resolution to be
offered in the house by one of their
to impeach the judge. Such
a resolution would be referred to the
judiciary committee. which will re-
sumo consideration of the department
of Justice report next Monday.

The recent finding OF the board of
arbitration which was appointed to
dispose of the dispute between the
international RAILWAY Company and
n committee representing the Street
Carmen's Union of Buffalo, y. Y. was
rejected last week The claim was
made that certain specific grievances
were not dealt with at all by a ma
jority of the board in its findings.
The length of time named in the
agreement was unsatisfactory to the
men, as 1t would compel some of
them to serve nine years before at
tanning the maximum wage rate. The
men, having refused to accept the
findings of majority of the arbitra-
tion board, instructed their commit
tee to seek a conference with the
president of the company. A final
agreement was reached settling the
dispute. II reduced the life of the
contract of the union from five to
three years, and it was also agreed
that the barn men and shop men
would receive increases in wages,
which had been denied by a majority
Of the arbitrators.
