sumsr of electric current is in fact
haing held up for the money that
pays most of the dividends OF the
railway company.
Concerning this, the answer must
depend on detailed information as to
the actual value of the property Of
the power company. But there is a
good deal of reason to believe that
the earnings of the power company
are excessive. They represent re-
turns gained through very high
rates, rates in excess of those
charged in cities whose conditions
seem to warrant comparing with
Washington.
Patrons of the Potomac Power
Company are entitled to know If
they are and have been paying divi-
dends that not only sustained the
property of that company, but in ad-
dition contributed largely to sustain
ing the inflated capitalization of the
railway company. Patrons of the
railway company are entitled to
know if an excessive capitalization
of that company is having the ap-
pearance of value attached to it by
reason of the contribution of the
power company.

COMPENSATION YARNS.

The New York workmen's COM
pcnsation commission is doubtless
acting in good faith when it says
there appears to be campaign of
discrimination among employers
against married men with families
because of the greater compensa-
ton payable to married men in case
of injury, but any level head will
question that there is such discrim-
ination.
A body like the commission, which
must hear all sorts of grievances,
will naturally be called upon to
listen to all sorts of wild yarns, but
if carefully run down we think they
will prove to be like the conspiracy
discovered by President Wilson
among business men to create de-
preston to defeat the Governments
trust measures.
It is hard to imagine an expert
enced employer of labor so short
sighted as to reject or discharge
married men in favor Of single men,
even if he thought he might save
something in case of accident and
injury. Aside and apart from the
odium in such a policy, employers
know the value of married men too
we'll to discharge them for such rea-
sons as the ones given to the COM
pensation commission. Men with
families as a rule are steadier, more
responsible and more seriously inter
ested in their work than men with
out families, who are generally un-
settled and without care for the
future.

themselves, without drawing the ssst
of Europe into it; but they have
done just those things. Today \
seems all but impossible for Austria
to crush Servia without precipitat-
ing the general conflict so long
dreaded; but that also might be done.
Great Britain's counsels will be for
non-interference; and those counsels,
backed by tho might of the British
navy, may yet serve to keep Ger
many from interference. Germany
is the ally of Austria; every word
from Berlin has carried the intima-
ton that if Russia attacks Austria,
Germany will go to the aid of Aus
tria. But the united protest of Paris
and London might stay the hand OF
Germany even in that case. Uncer-
tainty as to Italy's willingness TO go
to war for the Triple Alliance is an
other faction making for peace. Italy,
though the ally of Austria and OF
Germany, has everything to lose and
nothing to gain if Austria makes
herself a more important power on
the Mediterranean. The weakness of
Austria by reason of Austrian isola-
ton and diversifcation in nationali-
ties and languages, is ono Of the
guarantees of Italian national Sc
curity.
Economically. Europe could hard
ly be in worse condition to contem-
plate a great war. business is bad;
France, Britain and Russia all have
difficult domestic problems on their
hands. If war it must be, the world
will sustain a shock such as in mod
ern times it has not known. For a
time, of course, the United States,
safely isolated from the field of con-
f1ict, would benefit by the great de-
r1and for our products to maintain
armies in the field; but the reaction,
after the frightful destruction, would
affect this country along with all
the rest.
The Washington times., 1914-07-26
WHO PAYS THE DIVI-
DENDS7

1t is reasonable to assume that
Corporation Counsel Syme was cor
rect when he presented set of fig
ures to the House Committee on
District of Columbia, dealing with
the financial affairs of the Washing
ton Railway and Electric Company.
That corporation owns the stock Of
the Potomac Electric Power Com
pany, and receives the dividends
paid by that company. These cor
porations are required to make an
nual statements of their affairs to
Congress. While the statements
have not been such as greatly to IL
lumine matters, yet it is not rea-
sonable to doubt that the details con-
cerning dividends paid are correct
The Washington Railway and
Electric Company has a very high
capitalization. In the opinion of
most unprejudiced students of con-
ditions and observers of its prop
erty, it is excessively capitalized to
a very high degree. Yet it pays
dividends, and the question has been
a good deal in the minds of Wash
ington people of late, "Who really
pays those dividends?"
Mr.. Syme opines that the con-
sumers of electric current for pow
er and lights really pay most of the
dividends. Rates for this commod-
ity are very high; unconscionably
high in proportion to charges made
in other and comparable cities. AS a
result of these very high rates, the
power company earns very large re-
turns. All of these returns are
piped into the strong box Of the rail-
way company, because it owns the
power company's stock.
Once in the railway company's
till, they become the wherewithal to
pay its dividends and sustain the
market values of it's stock. The cleo
tric light users pay the dividends on
an excessive capital of the railroad
company.
Is that good public service?
Does it indicate proper admins
tration of the public utilities?
Is it not a very clear case of rob-
bing Peter to pay Paul?
Mr.. Syme presented to the COM
mittee a tabulation of the earnings
of the railway company. of its in
come from it's stock holdings in The
power company, and of the divi-
dends which it finally pays to its
stockholders, made up from these
two sources. The statement follows:

"PAUPER" IS OBSOLES-
CENT.

An Old and disagreeable word is
dying out in this country, according
to a report of the United States
Census Bureau on State laws affect
ing the dependent classes. "Pauper"
is rapidly disappearing from official
use. "Indigent" and dependent"
are among the synonyms used in
stead of the harsh old noun. "Pau-
per" is a word which CRATES upon
the American ear. 1t suggests a
horrible, hopeless poverty which is,
or should be, foreign, to a rich and
wonderful land.
With "pauper" there is also pass
ing the use of another word, beauti-
full in its original sense, but cold and
harsh when used in its application
to the mechanical giving of assist
ance to the wretched. That word is
charity" 1t is disagreeable adjec-
tive and sometimes an Objectionable
noun. So charity hospitals" are
taking other names. Estate charity"
is becoming Estate aid" just as
pauper asylums and poorhouses are
being changed, both in name and
nature, to infrmaries, hospitals, and
homes for the aged and infrm.
Poverty will be with us for a long
time yet, but it is we'll to remove the
stigma from those that are depend
ent because of their misfortune and
not because of their fault.
