AUTOMATIC PHONE PRICE OF S6,3OOOO0
SLUMPS TO 100000 TAX FIGURE

the Automatic phone system to the
Chicago Telephone Co. for S6,30O,-
900. B. F. Sunny, head Of Chi. Tel
Co., says he is willing to pay $780,
900 for the Automatic.
Yesterday S. W. Tracy, vice presi-
dent tunnel company, filed a tax
statement with the board of review.
It says the whole Automatic phone
system and all the tunnels are worth
100000.
Ralph NJ Shaw, lawyer for bond
holders, shouted before council COM
has a book value" of $29,O00,000.
The board of assessors said it's
worth 100000. And now Vice
Pres. Tracy wants the figure cut to
$1,OOO,OOO.
1--WE believe that at the present
time our company is overassessed be-
yOnd all reason" writes Tracy. "Orig-
inal cost of construction has no bear
ing on present value. The worth of
the property is usually based on the
amount the property is able to earn.
The current quotations of stock and
bonds Of a concern usually offer an
Indication of it's value. The capital
stock of the tunnel properties has
no market value whatever. The first
mortgage bonds are being offered at
$3.50 and 5000 for a $1,000 bond,
which would place a valuation on all
the property owned by the tunnel
company of about $1,OOO,OOO. The
tunnel property cannot be said to
have any value, except such as may
be contingent upon future develop
ments, which are prObIematical"
The Herald seems to be the. only
paper interested in printing the news
about this tax statement. It ran a
story by Oscar Hewitt this morning.

Friday, February IL, 1915.

The present legislature, report says,
Is very likely to submit statewide
prohibitory act to the people. We
have no objection, If it appears there
is a general demand for it. OF this we
are not convinced, despite the activi
ty of certain organizations that wish
to upset the present law. No leading
political party has asked for referend-
UNI and it is our opinion that the pre-.
valent attitude of the state as a whole
is one of reasonable satisfaction with
the existing system and disinclination
to reconsider the subject at this time.
Randolph Herald and News.
1t would be most unwise to open up
another state row over state prohibit
ion and an actual injury to the cause
of Temperance and sobriety. Under To-
cal option the state has made marked
progress toward real temperance and
has limited the liquor traffic as it new
er was limited or controlled under pro
hibition. A return to prohibition
would be return TO hypocrisy, dis.
grace and dshonor in hundred Yer
mont communities Why the other
sections of the state should want to
force such conditions on their neigh
Dor towns we cannot conceive. A vote
for the Perry referendum bill is vote
for intemperence, widespread PERJURY
and an extension of vice In the state
OF Vermont Under local option the
state will be free from licensed Sc
looms and practically free from
the illegal sale of liquor in
another ten or dozen years.
Under prohibition it will take hun
dred years to free the state of the UNI
licensed saloon which, it must be re-
membered, runs twenty-four hours
day and seven days a week The
Perry bill is not a temperance meas.

us at some time and the persons who
go up to the capitol for or against
any of these bills represent also
those no stay at home. We dc
not often stop to think that the
active lobbyists include such men as
bishops and other clergy presidents OF
colleges, bankers, doctors, business
men, teachers, farmers, and all 9th
ers. The legislature is not made up
of specialists but OF representative
citizens who often do not know "a
thing about many important things Oh
which they are called to act 1t is
important and vitality necessary that
the specialists in various lines of
business go there to explain, lest III
justice be done or the legislature act
upon incomplete information. The
third house unless corrupt or dis
honest is just about as important as
the other two. At the same time men
should recognize that laws and regu-

forced against the just as well as the
unjust and we see no reason why the
honest man should object to registra-
