SHOULD PUBLIC
UTILITIES PAY
TAX TOCIT|ES?
THE MATTER is DISCUSSED AT
THE NATIONAL CONFERENCE
ON TAXATION IN SAN FRAN
CISCO.
~ AssoCIArrn PREss.

San Francisco, Aug. 14.-The
question whether public utilities
should be assessed for taxation by
public service commissions occupied
some of the attention of the National
Conference on Taxation here today.
P. N. Fletcher, of Reno, Nevada,
former member of the Nevada State
Tax Commission, sketched the devel-
opment of the public utilities, allud-
ing to ''the startling efficiency now
shown as compared with the previous
wasteful individual effort" and said
that this efficiency was CARRYING with
it enormous profits to which the pub
lie had paid little attention.
He dismissed the suggestion that
public utilities under strict regula-
ton, should not be taxed at all by
noting that in such case a part of the
utility and the loss in taxes would
have to be made up by other proper
ty on a wholly unfair proportion. The
same reasoning he contended would
apply to municipal ownership under
which a cheapening of rates to a
small portion of the community would
give them an unfair advantage over
the taxpayers generally. mo one is
injured by keeping the tax on" he
said, 'but always the many are in
jured for the benefit of the few by TAX
ing it off.
Assuming then that the public
utilities should be taxed, the ques-
ton arises as to the amount of the
tax and whether the valuation should
be the same for tax as for rate pur-
poses. No difficulty arises in the
trained mind in ascribing different
value for each purpose, as rates are
/ largely based on what is put into the
property as investment while taxes
are assessed on what is taken out as
j income. One is an investment value,
the other an income or market value.
Under constant and proper regula-
ton the two would tend to come to-
gether as the fixing of rates is the
chief factor in the market value of a
utility"
He held that as the questions re-
quire expert analysis of facts and as
the same set of facts must be used for
both rate and tax purposes, the same
expert body Of public service COM
missioners could well determine both
issues.

teachers to assist the eight older
teachers who will return, makes it
certain that the college will continue
to offer to its students the same high
grade instruction and the same per-
sonal care and direction in the de-
velopment of culture and character
that it has offered in the past.
Two new courses are added to the
curriculum this year-a commercial
course and the course in methods and
the history of education, offered espe-
cially for those who desire to teach.
The position as matron and house
keeper is one of the most important
administrative positions in school.
The college is, therefore, fortunate in
securing for this position Mrs. Mar

vorable conditions it is ready to spring
forward in the accomplishment of It's
splendid mission.

SPEAKER REED FAVORED
SUFFRAGE FOR WOMEN
FORMER SPEAKER OF THE
HOUSE WAS AN ADVOCATE OF
VOTES FOR WOMEN.

One significant fact that stands out
very prominently in the equal stuff
rage movement, is the great amount
Of space devoted to suffrage news,
by the large dailies Of the country,
Hotabl ythe New York Sun, the New
York Post, the New York Tribune, the
World, the Chicago Tribune, and even
the staid and conservative New York
Times.
The first five papers named have
decided suffrage bias, and the Times
learned its lesson when the suffrage
amendment having passed the New
York legislature, it inveighed against
the legislators, in a lengthy editorial
The Times received so many letters,
most of them protesting against this
editorial, from men and women all
over the United States and in all
walks Of life, that it required ten
pages for their publication.
In a splendid woman suffrage edi-
ton Of the Post, the following expires
sion, which appeared, not in the suff-
rage section, but the editorial page Of
the regular edition, is not only sig
nifcant but Illuminating:
1t is not generally known that the
later Speaker Reed Favored woman
suffrage. The question did not come
up during his public career in any
such way as to compel him to take
sides on it openly, but he made no
secret Of his convictions. In his re-
cent Life, by congressman Nc
Call, there is more than one record
Of his political faith on this subject.
He was unable to resist the argu-
ment. To his mind, the reasons which
made it expedieNt for democracy
to make use of universal manhood
suffrage, also compelled the grant of
the vote to women. This was the view,
/ be it remembered, Of Tom Reed, the
big, bluff, hearty man, with no senti-
mental nonsense about him. No closet
philosopher, no sickly enthusiast, but
a solid-footed and shrewd Yankee, he
quietly maintained that it would be
good Tor the women, and good for the
country, If the right to vote was not
limited to men. One Of the remarks
about woman suffrage which he made
near the end of his life was that s'The
time for sneering at it has past" and
the time come for considering it on
its merits.
The showing is such as to impress
even opponents of the movement.
None of them any longer can be SO
blind as not to perceive and admit
that here is something in our political
life seriously to be reckoned with. II
cannot be waved aside with q joke OF
a sheer. Whatever else it is, it is a
great big fact. We may not like it,
but there it is. It simZey has to be
taken into the calculations Of sensible
men.
Day by day the news has been COM
ing of action In various states, look
ing towards vote on woman suffrage
amendments to the constitution, OF
other ways Of enabling women to take
a direct part in American public life
Since January II at least seven state
legislatures have acquiesced in the
demand that the question Of votes for
women should be submitted to the
votes of men The most significant
of these states are New Jersey, New
York, Pennsylvania, and Massachu-
setts-all representatives Of the
conservative East.
