PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 2o.-.-rhe
United States is on the verge. of. the
greatest prosperity the country has
ever known. We have reached, the
bottom after a period of decline, and
things are now getting better, every
day., With this spirit Of breezy on
timism, George B. Caldwell, Chicago,
president of the Investment Bankers
Association of America, greeted
Philadelphia.
Mr.. Caldwell came to attend the
annual convention of that -organiza-
ton: About $50 bankers from ali
parts of the United States were in
attendance.
Many of the new laws on our
statute books are untried TOOLS" added
Mr.. Caldwell, but the Opposition
which was born Of fear has now given
way to a feeling that it is only fair
to try them out and a belief that they
may prove more beneficial than an
ticipated. "
Investment bankers are not op-
posed to the proper supervision Of
corporations or business"

MADISON, Wis, Nov. 2o.-A new
governmental policy with respect to
disposal of the public domain was
advocated before the governors con-
ference by Gov. William spry. Utah.
Speaking on "State Control Of Nat.
ural Resources" he declared that
throughout the west removal Of vast
tracts Of federal lands from taxation
by their lease to private parties has
increased the burden of taxation for
wage earners to such an extent that
tne limit must soon be reached, and
ne called on congress to take earlv
action to remedy, the situation. What
started out to be an arid subject
eventuated into highly Interesting
discussion.
Gov. Ammons, Colorado. declared
that the same situation exists in his
state and Gov. Stewart, Montana. said
tnat the Utah executive had stated
the case correctly with respect to the
general situation throughout. the
large states or the far west.

great deal Of replacement work
has been done, which has been
charged to maintenance, and this
has placed the foM plant, in a
much better dition; mile for

chased by the city: r.:
In 1902 the Dddanth Edison com
pany had an outstanding capii-
talization of approximately ST.
100000 onsits plant. In that year
it's bonded deHedness was so
heavy that the business did not
pay interest on its second mort
gage bonds, and; as a result, the
Commercial Light & Power com
pany, which was the name the
Hartmans then used; went into
the hands of a receiver, and the
entire assets Of the company was
sold to John w .S$G. Dunn, of St.
Paul, for $815, 900. 1t will be
seen, therefore, that in 1902 the
city started out with an: out
standing capitalization of 1885,
900, while the Duluth Edison s in
vestment was $815,000:,

In view of the fact that at the
meeting Of the Public Affairs
committee of the: Commercial
club, every sarcastic reference to
the management of the water and
light department. OF the city was
met with applause, we propose
this week, to give a few compara-
tive figures on the financial
management of the city water
and light plants as compared
with that of the Duluth Edison
Electric company.
1t must be remembered, that
the city acquired it's gas. and
water plant after a long and Bit
ter struggle, in: which practically
the same people were arrayed
against the city as are now
fighting for the Duluth Edison.
Mayor Truelson was obliged to
commence building a separate
water system, before he could
convince the Hartmans and the
allies that he really meant bust
ness. The price he finally paid
was probably really more that
the old plant was actually worth
It came about, therefore, that
when the city had it's supplement
tary system completed and had
paid for the old plant, the out
standing bonded indebtedness
was $2,456,000. This was al.
most Is years ago. Since that
time, and up to the present date,
the city has expended, for con-
struction purposes, $2,151 ,651.
OF this amount $1,O45, 900 has
been taken from the sur plus
