A SOUND CITY POLICY.
VII. The Right Public Attitude To-
ward Utility.

A merchant with $4,000 invested in
trade in a year. If so, he turns his
money five times in the four seasons.
If he nets only per cent on each turn,
his yearly net on his $10,0GG invest
ment, is IS per cent. If his business
doesn't succeed, he is free to sell his
stock in bulk to a competitor. or to
move it to some other city and set up
a store there.
A utility company can turn its mon
ey only once in five to seven years.
If it is to sell $4,000 Of service in a
year, it must have between $250,O00
and $350,00O of hard cash invested in
plant to produce and deliver that $780,
900 worth Of service.
Say the merchant borrows $4,000 Of
his $4,000 working capital. He has
TO pay 5 per cent to z per cent interest
on that borrowed $4,000. He is entitled
to charge his business at least 6 per
cent interest on his own $4,000, be-
cause if he had not put that $4,000 into
his business he could have invested
it in some other way that would have
paid him 6 per cent without any effort
on his part. Whatever he makes the
business pay, over these interest
charges on his working capital, is his
wages and his profit. If he makes on
ly 20 per cent net yearly on the $10,-

ing agencies, never meant these agen-
cles to confiscate anybody's property.
The people intended them to enforce
good service, with competent manage
ment, at rates sufficient to yield in
terest on investment, plus fair cost
for management, plus small margin
of profit.
Capital for the utilities cannot be
got on any other basis; men and wo-
men and financial institutions that
nave money to invest can invest it in
a good many other ways to earn at
least this much.
The state commission, can, and tries
to, adjust utility rates to- yield this
modest fair return; but it can't pre-
vent city government Controlled by
politicians who wish to confscate the
property and take it over into politi-
cal management under city ownership
from laying burdens on it that deprive
1t tor a year or more, or until the
state commission can grant relief, of
the fair return it ought to have earned.
The public ought to defend utilities
against such abuses just as promptly
as it would protect our merchants and
manufacturers against ordinances that
would cripple their business. A city
govern government that IS unjust and con-
fiscatory toward any line of business
hurts all lines of business; it gives
the city = bad name among investors,
without whose cooperation our city

600 capital, over and above interest
on it, he is getting $4,000 a year for
his services and his profit. If he can
do better than that, everybody is glad
of it.
The public utility with $250,O0O in
vested to do $4,000 worth of business
must similarity earn per cent inter-
est on that $25O,OOO investment. If it
doesn't, it is actually losing money
losing interest its capital could have
earned in some other field, and losing
a part of the capital as we'll; because
capital invested in a utility plant is
there to stay-tO sink or swim, sur
vive or perish 1t can't be taken away,
because its owners are Obliged by law
to stay on the job and serve whether
they lose or win, and because if they
were not so obligated they cOuldn t
dispose Of the property anywhere else,
except as nearly worthless scrap. And
if it can't earn ordinary interest where
1t is, its value as a property depre-
gates.
II its failure to earn interest on in
vestment is caused by excessive taxa
ton, or unjust special assessments in
the cities, or by losing rates enforced
by the state commission, these public
taxing and regulating agencies have
actually contiscated its property to
Just that extent.

him and the team ready to start, when
the gun slipped downward and was
discharged, the load of shot entering
the abdominal cavity and penetrated
the bowels. The three men ran to his
aid, laid him down and hurried to town
and called physicians who gave i'm
mediate attention. He bore up won
