exempted while London shippers are made to
pay, the latter are made the victims of discnmi-
nation Nothing can be palmer than this. And
it is difficult to understand why, for the sake of
subsidizing a few shipping companies of New
England, any congressman would advocate the
danger of rupturing our friendly relationship
with England
It speaks well for President Wilson that he is
willing to violate his partys platform in order to
cancel the exemption clause in the Panama Canal
regulations. There are two ways open to him.
either of which should be acceptable for the time
being.
One is proposed by Representative Adamson,
who advocates compelling American ship
owners to pay tolls for two years as an expert
ment He believes this would be sufficient time
to determine whether income from other sources
would be sufficient and also to adjust diplomatic
relationships involved with other countries.
The other is to strike out the exemption clause
for good and all and place our American shippers
on an equality with foreign shippers
1t is clear enough that exemption is merely a
form of ship subsidy. Not to charge toll is the
equivalent of giving the same amount in money.
1t is difficult to understand how it is possible
that the Democratic Party should in one SEN
tence of section in it's platform have vigorously
Iof the same section have advocated toll exemp-
ItiOn.
Perhaps the wiseacres in the Democratic
camp were somewhat confused by the great bat
tie raging in which Bryan and Champ Clarke
were bringing one earthquake after another.
While the President believes that bad reso-
luton is better broken than kept and is perfectly
willing, through loyalty to the interests of the
country at large, to be disoyal in this particular
instance to his party, other Democratic leaders
are not SO disposed. Representative Underwood,
leader of the House, and Representative Kitchen,
the most Influential member of the Ways and
Means committee, have both denounced Presi-
dent Wilson's change of attitude and declare they
will either perform his bidding with extreme re-
luctance or oppose him outright.
Smaller things than this have served as an
entering wedge to separate the President from
Congress and need be surprised if this
question may turn out to be the little rift within
the lutte which will make all the fine Democratic
music jange somewhat with discord. At any
rate it will serve as one of the severest tests of
MIR. Wilson's leadership

The City S Stake

IF all natrons of the Richmond City Water
Works were clearly to understand what is at
stake in the present hearing being conducted be-
fore the Public Service Commission, they would
await with the most eager expectancy its out
come Whichever way the Commission decides
will mean dollars in or out of their pockets
The Public Service Commission is empow-
cred to fix the rates at which the company may
sell it's water The basis for this rate fixing is
the actual valuation Of the plant. This valuation
is determined by what it would cost to replace
the present plant by a new plant
The all important thing, therefore, is that the
company be not permitted to initiate its valua-
ton single dollar Every thousand dollars of
added valuation means just that much more for
the public to pay for its water rent.
If, to use an illustration, the valuation should
be fixed at $11OO,O0O and if the company is per-
mitted sc dividend on this valuation. the city
each year would be compelled to pay for its water
S66 900. But it, on the other hand, the valuation
should be fixed at, say $8OOOOO, the city's charge
would be but $4,000. This means difference
to patrons of the plant each year of $4,000.
From this it can easily be how important
will be the decision of the Public Service Com
mission.
And this decision will probably stand for
years another valuation is made the Commission
will then use this present valuation its pre-
cedent. 1t is of the utmost Importance, there
fore, that the Commission make fair and just
estimate of the plants valuation.
There are three four issues on which there
will be much debate Perhaps the most familiar
of these is that relating to service pipes.
As everybody knows, of the property
owners pay for the pipes that bring the water
from the street main into the house and yet the
water works company demands that this amount
of money be added to the company's valuation, a
contention which seems to most unreasonable
The company also demands that the amount
necessary to replace the street paving all its
mains be added to it's valuation.
But perhaps the most perplexing problem
will be that of "going concern value.' AS with
every private business, a public utility corpor
alton loses money during the first few years OF
business; loss which is due to many obvious
causes. 1t is the custom to allow the corporation
to charge this in part of its capitalization
The Public Service Commission will very proba
bly, permit the company to charge its own ni
tial losses, but the company is determined to es
innate this loss if it to begin its
Words it goes on the assumption that if it were
to replace its plant today, the going concern val
ue" would be about three times what it was wher
the plant was organized twenty y-eight years ago
