YoRKvILLEs GOVERNMENT

While there is little question of the
fact that there is much room for i'm
provement in the municipal affairs of
Yorkville, and while there are many
people who have Il very satisfactory
notion of some of the things that are
necessary to get matters Strengthened
out, it is a fact that there are very
willing to take hold of the situation
and make an earnest effort to straight
en- things out.
Some of the most veXing problems
ment are the unwillingness of the town
council to make public an itemiZed
statement Of financial conditions, as
required by law, and the widespread
of the water, light and power depart
ments.
While it is not safe to make any
predictions at this time, the outlook
now is that Il financial statement will
be published. All the indications are
that the new council to be chosen at
the approaching election will require
such a statement at the hands of the
retiring council, and the members of
the corporation will be advised for the
first time in many years as tC wher"
they stand financially.
What is commonly referred to as
the free light and water issue" had
its origin some years ago in the action
of the council in voting to its men,
bers the use of light and water free.
Theoretically, the appropriation was
in lieu of other compensation for SER
vices, and although the thing was not
done in businesslike manner with
specifications as to just how much
each member of the council was To get,

If the reports of that difficulty in the
office of the News and Courier are to
be relied upon, we are inclined to
think that Mayor John p Grace went
very much beyond his rights in the
matter 1t is true that the News and
Courier is unfriendly to Mr.. Grace;
but we are not prepared to say that it
has treated him unfairly. According
to our view, if Mr.. Grace had reason
to believe he was treated unfairly 1t
would have been better to have fought
the matter out in the columns Of the
paper For this the News and Courier
is always willing. In making per-
sOnal matter of his grievance, we
think that Mr.. Grace is the loser, and
developments will show it up that
way.

debate. The subcommittee draft
provides for a trade commission of
five members. with full power of in
vestigation and the present bureau
or corporation is to be legislated out
of office. Interlocking directorates
and holding companies are prohibit
ed and the commission will determine
whether there has been restraint or
competition through such means. the
provision with regard to capitaliza-
ton, is stringent, and is designed to
prevent the issue of securities except
on the basis of actual values. The Dill
drafted by the subcommittee con-
tains no reference to price-fiXing.
The question of inserting provision
excluding farmers and labor organi-
cations from the operation of the
Sherman antitrust act is still under
consideration. Another point yet to
be decided is whether court DEGREES
relating to the reorganization OF
combinations shall be referred to the
trade commission.
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1914-05-05

the understanding was that the guam
tity applied only to the monthly mini
mum. The minimum limit, however,
was ignored, and later the privilege
was extended to all members Of the
town government, whether elective or
appointive, with the result that the
revenue that should be realized from
the water and electric plants has been
seriously impaired.
In this connection also there is much
dissatisfaction over granting of light,
water and power to the Church Home
about, or the terms of it, the people
have never been informed. There have
been statements to the effect that
among the inducements held out to
the orphanage to locate in Yorkville
was an offer to furnish free light and
free water at the expense of the town
for a period Of ten years. We have
heard it stated that the offer contem-
plated only what regular customers
understand as the minimums-$1.50 a
month for light and $2.25 a quarter for
water; but it is known that the light
and power alone furnished under this
alleged contract amounts to several
hundred dollars a year. The dissatis-
faction with the arrangement has been
wide spread from the beginning, and
it has not grown any less. In the first
place, while nobody seems to know on
what authority this gratuity is being
allowed, many of the citizens believe
that there is no authority whatever. and
can be none-that the town could not
legally make such a contribution even
II it desired to do so. They feeel that in
a matter of this kind, the voters, prop
erty owners and water light and pow
er consumers should have at least been
consulted. But while there is much
dissatisfaction in this connection, 1t is
fair to say that the dissatisfaction here
does not seem so general or outspoken
as the dissatisfaction in the case OF
the free light and water privilege that
has been assumed by members Of the
council and extended to various other
officials.
There Is a general feeling that the
financial affairs Of the town are in a
bad shape and this is a fact. With a
heavy bonded Indebtedness and con-
siderable floating Indebtedness, and
the principal source Of revenue con-
fined to a ten mill levy on very low
assessed valuation, it requires very
close management to make both ends
meet. There is little money with which
to make improvements Of any kind
But with it all the situation Is one that
is not to be remedied by pickering and
disputes. On the contrary there is need
for whatever real ability and good cit
izenship the town has to get together
and look the situation squarely in the
face. 1t is up to the people to handle
the matter in business like manner
and with strict adherence to the law
as comprehended in the town charter
and other statutes. II there are abuses
they should be corrected, and If there
are unnecessary expenses they should
be eliminated, and if there are special
privileges they should be discontinued
With the application and pursuit OF
such a policy the town can be made to
grow as it has never grown before.

The senate committee has heard nu-

free tolls, or wherein the American

There is such sad lesson in
the life of the eighteen year old
boy who will answer the charge
of murder with his own life next
month. The laws of California
still number capital punishment
among them. This boy did not
intend to kill the messenger but
simply stun him and get his
money. In speaking of his past
life he says he was the baby OF
the family and had things too
easy. 1t was idleness-time to
play pool, gamble, ETC., that was
the real cause Of this sad early
ending of his life. He is now in
q Jail where four of the eight
condemned men are under twenty
five and who have killed to get
@easy money" This is more a
lesson to the parents than to the
child.

1914 RAILWAY CONsTRUC.
TION IN NORTH OAK.

Reports of official action by
the railways entering North Da-
kota show that new lines total
ing about 525 miles will be con-
structed in the state during 1914,
and this does not take into ac-
count the contemplated extern
sion Of the Milwaukee Railway
north through Grand Forks to
Winnepeg, which is surveyed but
may not be constructed until
next season. Five hundred and
twenty-five miles of new lines
means an increase of over ten
per cent in North Dakota's rail-
way service, and that this state
has more mileage than
the great majority Of eastern
states. The railway companies
see the future Of this great state
and they are all laying their plar
to be in position to get their
share Of it's future great traffic.
