ARNEv HAS CLOSE CALL.
Car Skids on Marrow "Lsvee" Road ant
Comes Near Going Over.

Senator W. II. Arney came most un-
comfortably close to an accident on
the "levee' or North Center street
road Friday evening about s o'clock.
He turned his car to avoid mud hoie
in the road, struck soft dirt skidded
and when he stopped his car he was so
far over the side of the steep grade
that he was compelled to walk back to
the water works and phone for help to
get his car back on to the road grade.
How he escaped from turning the car
over on himself he does not understand.

LOCAL COMMENT

!, Cooperation among the merchants
to urge people to shop early will help

twenty eight actual shopping days left

Thanksgiving day and all Sundays. Let
the advertising stick to this count and

The turkey season Is on again and

Percentage of Failures Less Than In
Amy Other Type.

Cement is coming to be used more
and more for construction work on the
farm. This is only in keeping with pro-
gress made in concrete construction
along other lines. A great many OBJ
jections are made to concrete as a suit
able material for silo construction. Be-
side number of others, the following
are some of the most common: Con-
crete walls allow mold and decay
around the walls, are affected by the
acid of silage, and they cannot be
built to keep them from cracking and
thus leak air. These statements, of
course, come from competing builders,
mostly stave silo people. Observation
Of concrete and stave sllos standing
side by side shows that the freezing is
no greater in one than the other. By
coating the walls with wash of neat
cement or tar pitch they can be made
perfectly air, water and acid proof. If
properly reinforced and made of suit
able material they should not crack
any more than does other concrete
work. There have been failures in all
types of sllos, but it is safe to say that
the percentage of failures is less in
concrete silosthan in most other types.
That they are a success has been
demonstrated beyond a doubt by those
built not only IN this state, but other
states as well. Silos of this type are
known TO have been used successfully
for eleven years without the least sign
of deterioration or loss of siage
through spoilage.
The common causes of failure in
concrete construction are, first, insult
fcient reinforcement; second, dirty
sand and gravel; third, too lean mix
tux'e or insufficient amount of cement
used; fourth, poor mixing of cement
with sand and gravel; fifth, poor plae-
ing of mixture within the building
forms; sixth, Washing out of cement
by excessive water.

states have a two cent passenger rate
and whatever loss is incurred is recov-
cred through freight revenue. The JUS
tice Of such procedure was recently
passed upon by the Supreme Court
of West Virginia and the decision is
so far-reaching that we have asked
l.. e. johnson, president of the Nor
folk and Western Railway whose road
contested the case to briefly review
the suit. Mr.. Johnson said in part:
Some ten years ago, passenger
fares were fixed by the legislatures
of a large number of states at two
cents a mile. AS a basis for such
economic legislation, no examination
was made of the cost of doing the
business so regulated, nor was any
attention given to the fact whether
such a rate would yield to the rail-
way companies an adequate or any
net return upon the capital invested
in conducting this class of business.
"Such law was passed in West
Virginia In 1907 The Norfolk and
Western Railway Company put the
rate into effect and maintained 1t for
two years. Its accounting during
these two years showed that two
cents a mile per passenger barely
paid the out-of-pocket cost and moth
ing was left to pay any return on
capital invested. 1t sought relief from
the courts. Expert accountants for

On Two-Cent Passenger Rates

| both the State and the Railway Com
| pany testified that the claims of the
railroad we're sustained by the facts.
Two cents did not pay the cost OF
carrying a passenger a mile. The
State, however, contended that the
railroad was earning enough surplus
on it's state freight business to give a
fair return upon the capital used in
it's passenger as well as it's freight
business. For the purposes of the
case the railroad did not deny this,
but held to it's contention that the
State could not segregate its pas
senger business for rate fixing with
out allowing a rate that would be
sufficient to pay the cost Of doing
business and enough to give some
return upon the capital invested in
doing the business regulated. This
was the issue presented to the SUI
preme- Court. Its decision responds
to the judgment of the fair-minded
sentiment of the country. The SUI
preme Court says that, even though
a railroad earns a surplus on par
ticular commodity by charging rea-
sonable rates, that affords no reason
for compelling 1t to haul another's
person or property for less than cost.
The surplus from a reasonable rate
properly belongs to the railway COM
pany. II the surplus is earned from
an unreasonable rate then that rate
should be reduced. The State may
not even up by requiring the railroad
to carry other traffic for nothing or
for less than cost
The decision Is a wholesome one
and demonstrates that the ordinary
rules of fair dealing apply to railway
companies. The fact that one makes
q surplus on his wheat crop would
never be urged as a reason for com
polling him to sell his cotton at less
than cost 1t would not satisfy the
man who wanted bread to be told
that its high price enabled the cotton
manufacturer to get his raw product
for less than cost. In this case the
court reafirmed the homely maxim
that each tub must stand upon it's
own bottom"

BEFORE THE RAILROAD COMMITS
SION OF WISCONSIN

cION OE WISCONSIN
In the Matter of the Application of the
Garter and Wabeno Telephone Com
pany for Authority to Increase Rates.
The Carter and Wabsno Telephone
Company fled an application for au-
10th, 1918. The application states that
the present rates are 81 90 per month
for residence telephones and ST.. so for
business telephones, and sets forth
that the revenues received from these
rates are insufficient to maintain the
lines and give the service required
The increase applied for amounts TO
25 cents per month, or $500 per year
for each class of service
Hearing was set for April 18th and
due notice given to all interested par
ties. No appearances were entered at
that time.
The annual report submitted by the
petitioner for the year ending January
l, 1918, shows that the operating
revenues are $4427 and that the oper-
ating expenses, exclusive of depreci-
alton or interest and profits, are $3075.
The amount available for interest and
depreciation is therefore $1352. Depre-
citation should be provided for at the
rate of about 81 per cent On the cost
OF property of ST. 27, making an al
/ I
lowance of 81, 1o7, and leaving a bal
ance of $245 available for interest and
profits. This balance is per cent of
the property and plant account, which
is QUITE clearly an inadequate rate of
return.
The rates desired by the company ap-
ply to all subscribers. There are, how
ever, few urban party lines having
two or three subscribers on each line
Some differentiation in the rate for
this class of service should be made
and it is accordingly suggested that
the rate for such urban party line sub
scrlbers should remain unchanged. AS
there are but Ia such urban party line
Subscribers, this recommendation will
not seriously affect the increase in
revenues.
The increased rates desired by the
company, with the exception above
noted, will apply to 161 subscribers.
and the net increase will therefore
amount TO $4s3. The net amount then
available for interest and profits will
be $72S, or "A per cent on the proper
ty and plant account. It does not,
therefore, appear that the application
of the petitioner is at all unreasonable
when applied to urban single party
subscribers and rural subscribers, and
it will be granted accordingly insofar
as it concerns such subscribers.
1T is THEREFORE ORDERED That
the petitioner, the Carter and Wabeno
Telephone Company, may set aside it's
present schedule of ratesaud substitute
in lieu thereof the following schedule
of rates:
URBAN SERVICE
Business Telephones
Single party line S1.75 per month
Two or more party line $1.50 per month
Residence Telephones
Single party line 81 25 per month
Two or more party line 81 90 per month
RURAL SERVICE
All party lines $1.25 per month
