The Questions Asked by Chairman Bavis

The City administration and the special citl-
zens committee which is handling the light ques-
ton have issued a statement through Chairman
Alfred Bavis, setting forth the reasons why the
city should proceed with the plan for the pur-
chase of the L., H. & P. Co. as outlined in the
resolution adopted by the city council on the
10Th of April.
The questions propounded by the committee
and the answers in defense of their action were
published in the Palladium last evening. The
questions are reproduced with other answers
substituted
Question 1: Will the removal of the Light,
Heat & Power Company from the electric field
of Richmond wipe out competition?
Answer: 1t probably WILL but the buying Of
the plant at this time is very expensive way of
accomplishing the result, especially since the city
has not had opportunity to try out competi-
ton after the establishment of uniform rates for
both plants.
Question 2: Will it not place the city plant
in politics?
Answer: 1t will not change conditions politi-
cally from what they now, except that the
plant will be larger and there will be more oppor-
tunity to hand out political jobs. Civil service
rules might apply during any one administration
but administration cannot bind successor.
When new mayor is elected, he can, if he sees
fit, put in entirely set of men, There is
llO otttIc law WHlCH Will IHlo dCClOll dIlu
there is no immediate prospect of the legislature
passing such law, at least not in the next
two years.
Question 3: Ought we to buy a bankrupt
plant?
Answer: We ought not, unless we could get
it at bankrupt prices, which the commission will
not take into consideration in fixing a value on
the Light, Heat & Power Company's plant.
Question a. Would it not be better to put the
Light Heat & Power Company out of business
by the freezing out" process?
Answer: The freezing OUT process is only
law of business which is the survival of the fit
test. When the Light, Heat & Power Company
entered this field it with the understanding
that it would abide by that rule. If the munich
pal light plant was installed and then driven out
of business it would be very acceptable to them
and if their light plant driven out by the
municipal plant it must accept the results. The
money of the Light, Heat Power Company in
vestors was advanced with that understanding.
Question 5: Is there any danger of the city
having to pay more result of an over issue
of stock?
Answer: No, this question has never been
disputed by anyone; it does not enter into the
valuation of any public utility.
Question s: What effect will the taking of
the plant have natural gas rates?
Answer: 1t will undoubtedly be the means of
an increase IN natural gas rates, because after
the commission takes away 25 per cent of the ov-
erhead charge for the administration of the

Arizona State Fair Notes

.Phoen1x, Arizona, Sept. g. An entirely new feature of the premium list that is now coming from the press, and a new fea- ture as well for the Arizona State Fair, will be the prizes offered for Arizona wool. The wool in- dustry in Arizona is one of the most important. and as in many states the wool exhibits are inn portant also. The Fair commis- sion in offering these premiums had in mind the importance of the industry and thus extends the encouragement that is it's due.
 The hills and forests of Ari- zona especially in the northern and central parts of the state are dotted with flocks of heavy wool bearing sheep and goats. The prizes offered are generous and should encourage the wool grow CTS to offer for exhibit displays of the efficiency as wool growers.
 The special prlzes offered are as follows: $15 gold for the best twelve months fleece from any one breed. Second prize $1O; third prize $5. $1O, $7. 50 and $5 are offered for the best three samples of wool from any breed, at least one pound to be shown. Prizes will also be given for mo- hair the same way. Superinten- dent Bemis of this department is in close touch with the activities and is pushing every energy to make this section of the fair a greater success this year than ever before.

Kansas City Livestock Prices
 Kansas City Stock Yards,

Kansas ClCY SCOcK I ar0S,
 Sept. 20, 1915. Beef cattle advanced 10 to 9 cents after Tuesday last week, but stockers and feeders did not recover any of their loss of 15 to 30 cents first of the week. De- mand was large for stockers and feeders, however, and sufficient to clean up the yards pretty well, 30, 900 head shipped, to the coun- try during the week. Receipts to day are 2300O cattle, market steady to weak on beef grades, but sales of beef grades were mostly stronger. A string of panhandle yearlings at $7. 50 was regarded 10 to 15 higher. Color ado vearlings at ST 35, two year olds at $6. 70. and four cars of 976 lb feeders from Cimarron. Colorado. at $7. 40. were all called stronger. Fifteen cars of Wes- tern Colorado beef steers, 1068 lbs average, at $6.9O, were around steady. Panhandle beef steers sold at S6. 75 to $7, stock CTS ST to S7.85, calves ST to $8. .65, veals up to S10.5O. wet cows around S5. .25. Oregon Idaho steers are worth $7.3O to ST. .65. getting both feeder and killer competition, and big weight grass beef steers up to $8. al though the market has not been tested on that kind since the ten cars of Montana steers sold at $8| here last Monday. Sheep sold about steady after Wednesday last week, salesmen proving themselves able to effectually stop the decline that set in the first of the week. Receipts to- day are 24OOO head, and the mar ket is a shade higher on all grad es of lambs, weak on yearllngs and sheep. About 5000 lambs sold at the top price, $8. 35. which was 10 cents above the top at other Missouri River mar kets, medium killing lambs around S8.1O. Feeding lambs sold steady at $7.75 to s8. 15, the Western feeding lambs around the latter figure. Year lings sold at $6. Demand for feeding and breeding stock con tinues extra heavy, shipments to the country last week 43OOO head.

Goat breeders are to come in
 for their share of prizes this year as never before. The pre- mium list contains a good list of premiums in this department. calculated to awaken interest in this sort of an exhibit. Better than this probably also is the news that there will be general overhauling of the department so that the exhibitors will have better accommodations than formerly.
 The goat industry of Arizona is of great importance. At pre- sent there is a great demand for both the meat of the goats and for the mohair. The adapta- bilitv of the SWISS goats to Ari- zona conditions proves that there is a new field of activity in the live stock line that will be lm- mensely profitable. There is a demand for improved stock in goats just as there is in the other lines Of live stock.
 Registered and non registered Angoras will this year draw down $6. and $3. for bucks under two years old; for bucks over two years. and for does in both classes. Milch goats will be given the same prizes offered for Angoras. In the last noted class the non registered goats must prove registration of sire.
 With thls incentive there will be likely a number of breeders the state this next year who will have blue ribbons to show pur- chasers which is good adver- tisement and splendid business.
 Courtesy and service are to be made the watchwords of the de- partment of admissions this year, as they have never been so made before. The men who are to handle the crowds at the big gate, those who will sell tickets constantly, will be put through their paces before the fair opens. in plenty of tune so that when the big gates officially swing open for the first great day. there will be no hitch in the facility nor aIacrity with which the wishes of the visitors are with. This is the aim of William N. Sangster. who has the position of auditor of admis- sions this year. MT. Sangster is we'll known as secretary of the commission and his ability as an organizer has re- ceived several tests and been found fool proof.

 "Bulletproof armor, of which various models have been placed on sale and actively advertised. does not give at all the protection promised. On the con- trary. upon exposure to fire it is shown that the armor instead of protecting. becomes itself the cause of grave wounds to those wearing it.
 Besides, the pieces of armor inter- fere with freedom of movement and make the soldiers work more difficult It is necessary to issue this caution against worthless purchases"

While it may be in greatly lessened degree, it Is highly probable that want and suf- fering still stalk hand in hand through out the country and that idle thousands walk the streets looking for the em- ployment that Is not 10 be had.

City Official Paper
NOME, ALASKA. APRIL 12, 1915.
IS PROSPERITY HERE?

The oftrepeated assurances of late emanating from the money overlords that the present depression due to the Great War is fast passing away is a comforting statement to be sure, but is not on the whole, entirely satisfy ing in the face of the fact that almost from the outside tells of the most des- erate industrial and economic con- ditions; of trade paralysis, bankruptcy. failures and a desperate and over whelming want among the working classes. True such information is six weeks or two months old but it is ex- tremely hard to believe that what is described as the most pronounced business and industrial depression in the history of the country can be dis spated so suddenly as late telegrams might lead us to believe. No doubt there is a vast improvement as com pared to the period shortly after the beginning ofthe war, still it is more than likely that the greatest percen- tage of such improvement is confined largely to those industries most favor. ed by the necessities of war. the iron and steel industries, arms and powder manufactories and the various other subsidiary industries catering directly to the armies and naves of the combat ants. While this would undoubtedly result in a vast flood of money pouring into the country in the main it would be principally into the pockets of the few and with little resultant benefit to industry and tho people in general.
 This does not mean prosperity to the nation, nor would the fullest develop ment of those industries benefit more than few sections and an ininitesi- maj part of the great mass of the American people. Exports have in- creased to immense proportions. the exchanges tell us. yet withal. it appears
