PRIVATE EFFICIENCY.

In the special articles .Does Municipal Ownership
Pay, we have from week to week shown that munic-
pally owned enterprises more efficiently managed
than privately owned concerns, especially from the
standpoint of the issuance of stocks and bonds 81
We have shown to YOU that the Duluth Edison Elec-
trio company has lived to the reputation Of the
average private corporation by being capitalized
the tune of about s15OO,O0O. p l.f-"' s~#<
Another has recently come our attention in
Everett Wash, where the Stone & Webster concern
control the electric light and transportation service
that city besides operating considerable other like prop
critics in Bellingham, Seattle and Tacoma.
From the Labor Journal of Everett we CLEAN the
facts that Stone Webster recently appeared before
the Everett city council in complaint against an or
ganzed bus service throughout the city, claiming that
through unfair competition their profits had
med approximately 80 cent. AS to the merits OF
the charge we are not particularly concerned.
Among other statements made by the company was
that their actual investment $7es,o00
In 1912 the Public Utilities Commission issued a
report placing reproduction value this concerns
street railway system in Everett $692026 differ
ence of about 500 900 which may be legitimate Diff
ference in expert opinion the sake of the present
argument let us accept $798,o00 fair valuation.
IN addition to the street railway system the sworn
statement of the company states that The Rail-
way, Light & Water company is a corporation owning
water system-; electric light plant
furnishing light power and heat; giving to the
inhabitants of Everett Operated by the Puget Sound
International Railway & Power company, under the
management of the Stone Webster MANAGEMENT Asso-
citation of Boston, Massachusetts,
In the report issued by the commission it is shown
that the capital stock and bonds outstanding against
these several plants an additional
100000 of stock issued by the Stone & Webster
company on the mere security" of their lease.
The actual cost of the properties according to the
report was $1S17164 while the entire holdings are
given public utility value of $2,O00,OOO.
In commenting these official statements The La
Dor Journal says:
These figures plainly show that for every dollar
invested In the Everett plant than 1925 worth of
securities have been issued which the residents
THIS city are asked to dividends Stone & Web
ster would reduce the stock and bond issue of the
Everett Railway, Light & Water company to a. dollar
tor dollar value believe interest charges could
be met without difficulty"
1t needs further argument to convict private
monopoly They have convicted themselves. Whenever
they produce figures they disclose their own shortcom
ings 1t is only question of how much longer the
people in American cities will tolerate such methods
of fnanciering.
In Duluth we have decided to call halt on one
public utility and January 10Th will see the passing of
further manipuations of the DuluthEdison Electric
company.

VOTE FOR UNIT PLANT.

In the final report P1llsbury and Rittenhouse on
the valuation of the Duluth Edison Electric company

the building of municipality owned lighting system
In order to clear the minds of many to the re-
liability of these two gentlemen let it be said that

time one of these gentlemen employed by the City
of Washington and the other by public service
poration of that city to place fair and equitable
valuation upon the electric lighting system.
The following recommendation is taken from the
report filed July 80, 1914 with the commissioner of
public utilities explaining briefly the plan and it's ad
vantages:
1.-The city may install distribution system consist

EDMONDSON NOT
TO Be CANDIDATE
BROOKS COUNTY LEGISLATOR
ANNOUNCES HE WILL NOT
OPPOSE WALKER.

The News is authorized by Hon.
Grover c. Edmondson, of Quitman, to
announce that he will not be a candi-
date for congress from the Eleventh
district this year in opposition to Con
gresham Walker.
1t has been generally expected that
Mr.. Edmondson would be in the race;
in fact, he announced to some Of his
close political friends that he had de-
cided to become a candidate, and it
was stated at one time that his an
nouncement was in course of prepare
tion. Col. Edmondson has many
friends throughout the district and no
doubt would have made an excellent
race.
With this announcement from Mr..
Edmondson and the one some time
ago from Judge Parker, of WaycrCss,
that he would not be in the race, the
only probable candidates now men
toned against Mr.. Walker are Judge
j. w. Quincy, of Douglas, and State
Senator Converse, of Valdosta Neither
of these gentlemen have as yet an
nounced whether or not they would
be in the race.

e~al s.ze-up OF weather conditions,
that ne backbone of winter is broken
though he prepares himself against IA
mistake, ~ also adding that there
may be ano-ser cold spell before

The past week has been the most
disagreeable the people of this section
have experienced during the win
ter. Starting a week ago today, the
wind and rain has continued almost
daily, accompanied by unusually cold
weather. The mercury, for the first
time has dropped several degrees be
low the freezing point, and there has
been but little let-up in the very un
pleasant weather.
But a welcome change is expected
today With a hold-up in the stiff
wind which has been blowing for the
past three days, the South will enjoy
its usual good weather.

IS
SLOW IN COUNTY
ONLY SMALL PERCENTAGE OF
GLYNN COUNTY VOTERS HAVE
so FAR QUALIFIED.

Tax Collector Read reports that reg
istration in Glynn county is very slow
so far. While the voters have anoth-
er month in which to qualify, still
the number that has already qualified
is comparatively small In view of
the fact that the year is to be big
one politically, as every state and
county officer is to be elected, includ-
ing two United States senators and
a governor, it is expected that the reg
istration will be heavy in all counties
before the books finally close.
Those VINO wish to qualify for vot-
ing in the approaching election are
reminded that the books are now open
for registration, but that they will
close on April l, according to the
terms Of the law.
Under the provisions Of law enact
ed at the last session of the general
assembly, those who qualify are per-
manently registered unless disqualified
by the failure to pay taxes Or for other
constitutional reasons.
With the date for the books to close
only 30 days hence, it is important
that voters attend to the duty of reg
istering Failure to do so will prohibit
one from participating in the elections
this year, which promise to be quite
interesting.

Though they have not enjoyed the
very best weather on Jekyl during the
past few days, they realize chat the
disagreeable weather is over down

just at present would be going right

orally AS a result several parties
have decided to remain on the island
