Editor Palladium-In your report of
Monday evenings meeting at the tab
ernacle, | read that Mr.. Honeywell
said, Take two men, one drinker
and one an abstainer; the drinker
takes his pay check and spends most
of it over the bar. He pays no taxes,
owns no property, and is of no value
to the community. The abstainer owns
his home, hence pays taxes"
Now l want to say first that I hold
no brief for the saloon, nor for drink
ers, though | agree with J. Bennett
Gordon in his argument for the Ii
censed saloon, also in his answer to
the cowardly attack Mr.. Honeywell
made on him.
But ! am here to speak for the
working class. the class Honeywell
maligned during his revival as well
as last Monday evening.
Following his reasoning one must
conclude that every working man who
doesn't own his own home is a drink
ing man and that if all men would
suddenly cease to use intoxicating
liquor, all men would suddenly be-
come property owners.
Mr.. Honeywell told how poor he is
| and that his home in Oak Park, H.,
is mortgaeed. Pehaps he could lift
| the mortgage if liquor were not bought
and sold.
A few days ago one of our very best
citizens transferred his home to his
| former employers in part payment
of an overdraft of many thousand dol
lars. | noticed a 5000 mortgage held
by a local capitalist accompanied the
property.
Was this property mortgaged be-
cause the owner was Incorporate in
drinking? Surely not, for he lectured
| in our high school and told how i'm
maculate young man must be to Sc
cure position with his firm.
A man who has worked for wages
twenty years and in all that time has
not spent a total of ten dollars over
| the bar, though not an abstainer, and
who doesn't even own a mortgaged
property, I want to tell Mr.. Honey
well that there are hundreds like me
/ in Richmond and that we are all tax
payers. The ultimate consumer pays
for everything, the taxes on the prop
| erty he rents, as well as the taxes
on the property of the merchants he
deals with, and all the various and
useless profits our system has built
up between producer and consumer.
Our labor is exploited and the cam
paign literature of the drys quoted fig
ures taken from the 1900 census show
ing to what extent this goes. Less
than II per cent of labor product is
returned in wages. What becomes OF
the other SO per cent? Well the dry
literature doesn't take us that far
But labor can see where it goes wher
it looks around and sees those who
! never work. the rich tramps, those
who only hold title to the machinery
of production, and thereby own the
jobs we workers, drinker or abstainer

That was the argument against disturbing the

Mexico Real Trouble

That the underlying cause Of Mexico's present
dilemma is her land system, is agreed upon by all
the contending factions, though they can agree
about nothing else. Huerta, even acknowledges
that system of land tenure is the one neces-
sity, while his arch-enemy, Villa has already tax
en- steps, as a military dictator in Chihuahua, to
redivide the large estates. Carranza promises
Just land system in event he is elevated to
power, while Zapata, far to the south, has al
ready undertaken to break up his territory into
small farms.
AS things have been, the majority of Next
cans are poems, less revolving word than slaves,
but one that carries about the same meaning.
The peon owns nothing. He is kept in debt at his
landlords store and then prevented by criminal
laws from leaving while in debt The result is,
he is usually kept by law on the place. If this is
not slavery, it is something as bad Made to work
by compulsion, ne takes interest in his labors
Receiving mere pittance he cannot save. Not
being able to save, he is in chronic poverty. and
poverty is the mother of crime, disease, gnor-
ance and instructions.
The one remedy for this condition obviously
is to create new system of land tenure which
would make it possible for the peon to become a
free farmer, entitled to the fruit of his own
labors.
A start toward this may be made with gov
eminent lands which now comprise one-tenth of
Mexicos area 1t is this which Huerta promises,
but this cannot be sufficient. The great estates
are responsible for the paralysis of industry and
it is they which will have to CO. How they can
be made to go is the problem.
Villa has tried to solve that problem by con-
fiscation through military power. He defends
his action by recalling that the great estates
were taken by military power in the first place
and that there can be no injustice. therefore, in

Mr.. Bond Pioneers

In it's brief (recently commented on IN these
columns) the Richmond City Water Works Com
PAW through its attorneys sets out to prove
that it's plant has valuation for rate making
purposes of 100000. This estimate is based on
the generally accepted value of service" theory.
According to the hypothesis, the valuation OF a
plant is determined by what it would now cost
to reproduce. If this theory is actually carried
out in practice it reduces itself merely to an at
tempt to estimate what the plant would now
bring if sold in the open market.
Where any business is purchased, one pays
not only for the tangible property, but also for
the efficiency of the organization. concern
that is being we'll managed is worth more than
the same concern ill managed. Success in oper-
ating business is thus real ingredient in its
market value.
The Water Works attorneys argue this lngre-
dent called value of going concern shall be IN
Guided in the valuation Of their plant for rate
making purposes and have estimated this as be-
ing worth in cash 100000. At seven per cent,
this would cost the city each year in rates $1,000
The citys argument, as presented IN MIR.
Bonds brief recently completed, takes issue with
this and places the entire process of valuation on
an entirely different basis.
The city attorney holds that the investors are
entitled to fair and reasonable return only on
the money actually invested. In other words, on
the cost of service rather than 'vaue of serv-
ice In ascertanng this cost, Mr.. Bond has
found the total of money which was reasonably
spent in erecting the plant and in making neces-
sary additions. To this sum he added an amount
representing appreciation through the natural in
crease of property values and he has deducted for
depreciation covering the losses through wear
and tear and other inevitable processes. The to-
tai remainder, after these allowances, is $780,
10000, which represents for him the amount of
money actually invested in the plant by it's stock
holders and the amount which they enti-
tied to fair and reasonable return
This is valuation $25O,000 less than that
claimed by the company and represents for the
entire city $17,5OO less in water rates than would
the company's estimate. The difference between
these two theories is one the people of Richmond
can feel with the pocket nerve which means they
will await with lively anticipation the decision of
the commission
In taking this ground, Mr.. Bond undertook to
do pioneer work because the public utilities COM
in accepting the value of SERVICE theory for fix
ing a valuation for rate making purposes If
he succeed in getting a principle recog-
nzed he will not only save the people of the city
a good deal of money but will put himself on the
map.

trying to cure an effect while leaving
the cause unchecked, something might
be accomplished.
The wonder to me is not that men
who are compelled to live the sordid,
bleak. ugly lives with which capital
ism curses us, drink, but that so many
are strong enough to rise above the
environments that drag them down,
and remain sober.
Drunkenness is common among two
| classes, the idle poor and the idle rich.
In the great fostering, rotting cess
pool of humanity called the slums
(and We have our slums). drunken
ness flourishes in all it's beastial ma
kedness.
In the gilded halls of vice, in the
palatial homes of millionaires, it is
clothed in gaudy raiment, but it is
drunkenness just the same.
| Excessive idlesness is just as de-
moraliZing as excessive labor.
Capitalism, the private ownership of
| the socially used means of production
| and distribution, is the cause of eX-
| cessive riches and the different sort
| or wretchedness accompanying them,
and intemperance, as we use the word,
is only one of the evils springing
| from it.
! Overwork. unemployment, child la
Dor and prostitution are other evils of
