Municipal Electric Light
Plant Loses Money.

CleveIand's municipal electric light
plant closed 1915 with loss OF at least
S130,0O0, states the Public Service
Magazine. This plant has valuation
OF more than $3,500,000. Official records
show its gross income from all sources
in 1915 to have been $541 ,495 95, and its
operating expense $3l1 1923. Its
fixed charges amount to 1852. 800. 81,
which brings the total OF fixed charges
and operating expense up to $664 .O96. 10.
Subtracting the gross income from this
leaves a loss of $122 ,6OO.15. This is not
the entire loss, however. The plant
paid nothing from its earnings for dam
age claims, and there was at least one
such claim OF $500 sustained in the
court against it and paid from the gen
eral city, funds. 1t gets services from
other city plants and departments free
and also rents free Charges for these
go to swell its deficit. In 1915 the plant
paid its sinking fund and half its inter
est charges, totaling S1271O2 OF the
$352, ,960 fixed charges. The rest fell to
the taxpayers. The plant paid all its
operating cost w. E. Davis, lighting
commissioner, says there it at this time

OF the 10000 electrical consumers in

other 10000 using the private com
pany's service.

WASTED r. r. REVENUES nc
BLOCK EIGHT-HOUR DAY


Cleveland. O.-The railroads of this
country claim it is financially impossible
to grant the eight-hour demands of
their freight service employees.
The publicity department OF the four
railroad brotherhoods continue to ex-
pose financial transactions of the rail
road managers and show that if reve-
nues were conserved, instead OF being
wasted or given away, the eight hour
day could be granted.
The railroad employees show that dur
ing the period OF 10OO-l91O ten western
railroads alone issued new stock for
S25O,js4.96l less than its market value
This means that this enormous amount
was practically given away in the form
OF bonuses to stockholders. If this
stock was sold i'll the open market the
same amount OF cash could be secured
by an issue OF Sl73, l22 ,796 less capital
stock.

CORPORATION BENEVOLENCE

San Francisco, Cal.-"Workers who
are intelligent enough to organize and
stand upright as men, says the Labor
Clarion have long since been aware oi
the crafty attempts OF employers to en-
slave them through paternalism, and
have steadfastly refused to accept be-
neVolence III lieu OF wages, and it can
truthully be said that there is not a
single instance of any consequence that
can be pointed to wherein the welfare
scheme OF an employer has not been
operated at the expense OF the workers
and with an eye single to the welfare
OF the employer rather than the en-
ploye.
The organized workers have learned
to beware OF Greeks when they come
bearing gifts, and have insisted upon
decent working conditions and fair pay
IN order that they might be in posi-
ton to take care Of their own pensions
and insurance in their own way
1T is because the American worker
can not longer be fooled by such plans
that employers have struggled desper-
ately to keep the gates open to the ig-
norant hordcs from foreign countries.
and it is this greedy desire that has in
critical walls against the literacy test as
means Of bringing about a curtail-
ment of immigration to this country
OF course they are too crafty to admit
their real reasons and base their OBJ
Jectlons to the test upon the ground
that such law would mean the aband-
onmert OF our traditional policy OF
furnishing an asylum for the oppressed
OF other lands. So often, however.
have these greed mongers set up the cry
OF wolf, wolf, when there was no wolf,
that the entire country has now become
SO familiar with their real designs that
no attention is paid to either their bois-
ferrous clamor or their suave pleas for
the oppressed.
The American people, and the
American worker especially. can no
longer be deceived by the fake benevo-
lcnce OF employers"

In calling on workers to press their
demand for an eight-hour day in the

Engdahl says: There were no unem-

rope hungry for jobs He also says
When the war is over, as it soon must
be, the hordes of the hopeless will leave
the shores OF Europe and come to the
United States looking for jobs to com

Meyer London, in opposing the Burnett
immigration restriction bill in the

May PAY BONDS
TO TREASURER
TO Save fees

Wayne county bonds will hereafter
probably be made payable at the
county treasurer's office.
It has been customary in the past
for bonds to be made payable at some
county bank Up until the last year,
banks have been given a one-eighth of
one percent for collection. Since the
custom was discontinued, however. the
banks have received no collection fee.
They benefit by having the use Of the
money until the bonds gre cashed in.
Often bonds are not presented for pay
ment until several months after they
are due. Banks get the use Of the
money during this time without in
terest.
Bonds Are Often Lost.
County Auditor Bowman said re.
Gently that bonds are often lost At
present a county bond which has been
long overdue has never been presented
because the owner cannot locate It..
The bond must be produced II It's
owner receives payment.
Unless the bond Is found, the bank
at which the bond was made payable
will get the use of the money forever
without paying interest. 1t must under
law always be left on deposit so that l.
will be ready II the document Is pre-.
scented
The state board OF accounts has ad-
vised county officials that II bonds
were made payable at the treasurers
office, the county would receive all the
benefits that banks now enjoy. 1t will
mean much more work for the auditor
and treasurer, however.

able at some bank In Richmond which
shall be named by the buyer. Ii 1t
would not have necessitated an extra
session of the council, the ordinance
probably would have been changed as
was recommended by the state board
of accounts so that the bonds would
have been made payable at the treas
urer's office.
AS 1t was, on the third day OF the
session, three councilmen stood out for
the change. The other four opposed
change because 1t would have kept
the appropriations in jeopardy an extra
day and If something had turned up
to prevent five councilmen from being
present, all their work OF the other
three days would have come to naught.

Hubbard's masterpiece in humor is to
be found in the satire "Thelma's Vow"
which is made the central feature Of
this years book. A review of the
story would be unkind to the future
reader. and it would be impossible
also without reprinting it almost In

as great and the book itself In It's
same attractive gingham cover. at the

Kin Hubbard's achievement from an
economical viewpoint as well as from
the artistic side of things, is not to
be overlooked.
