PUBLIC OWNERSHIP PAYS.

The question Of whether CT not pub lie ownership pays is aptly illus trated in a department of commerce bulletin recently issued which sets forth at some length the costs of op- eration, and net earnings of the fa- nous Glasgow city railroads.
 To the minds of most thinking peo- pie. the question has long since been relieved of most of it's debatable as poets through the dissemination of a large amount of information relative to the actual results of experiments in public ownership conducted by both state and municipal govern mcnts at various points.
 Most of the data reaching the pub lie has proven convincing argument that public ownership has been any ponents of government control of public utilities would have us believe.
 
 il is dealt decidedly telling blow hy the United States commerce re- port referred to-
 Denuded of the usual accumulation of detail, the report shows that after twenty two years of operation, the Glasgow street railways has not only paid for Itself but has also earned a surplus amounting to nearly s600,- GOO which may be devoted to other public uses.
 Glasgow took over her roads in 1894 and 1895 at a total expense charged to capital account, of .lS,- G63.S00. Now at the end Of the twen- ty two years of operation, exclusive ly out of the neat earnings and prin- cipally through the operation of a liberal sinking fund together with a large annual allowance for deprecIa- ton, the original cost has been en- tirely amortized.
 The citizens of Glasgow now not only own their own road, free from of all debts but have working capi- tai of $579,3S5 on hand. derived from the accumulatons of past operations
 Another interesting example of the same class of public railroad opera ton Is furnished by the annual report of the municipal railway of San Fran sico for 1915. Ar compared with the twenty two years of operation oi Glasgow's system, the experiment of San Francisco has endured only a comparatively short time, yet the lat fer enterprise has achieved results winch in several respects excell those of Glasgow. Up to June 90. 1916 the san Francisco municipal railway, af- ter but three years of operation, and this is the fact of keen competition had set aside a depreciation fund of s772,60S and had retired $101 900 oi bonds, thus cl aarly demonstrating thtt

the project is good financial invest ment on the part cf taxpayers.
 As compared to the Scotch system the San Francisco railroad set aside three per cent more of hts gross earn ings for depreciation and accident in- surance than did the Glasgow rail- way. The Glasgow system was also behind the California enterprise in tho degree that it expended sixty two per cent of it's gross revenues last year in operating expenses while the Frisco lines were operated with fifty eight per cent of the gross Revenues.
 The San Francisco municipal rail-
 way bonds have cost the taxpayers
 practically nothing; the nickels that
 would otherwise have gone to swell
 the profits of a private corporation have been used for operating ex- penses and to pay for the municipal lines on the "easy payment plan. Although the municipal hnes have been extensively improved and ex- tended in the past six months, there is every prospect that at the presen! rate of gain the city will own it's own roads in a few years in fee simple and the net profits can then he devot - ed to further ex ansion ani nm pl ovements and to a reduction of the present five cent fare.

SACRAMENTO. Cal. July 31.- Several carloads of Califorma's sur plus potatoes and onions, large Quan- titles of which are reported to be rotting in the ground in many parts of the state because of the inability of growers to dispose of them at a price equal to the cost of production, may be sold to Arizona consumers through Governor Thomas F. Camp bell of that state. The state council of defense recently received tele- graphic inquiry from Governor Camp bell asking the price at which a large supply of both potatoes and onions could be secured in California for immediate shipment to Arizona. Both are declared to he very scarce in that state.
 Following telegraphic inquiry in several parts of the state where big surpluses of the two commodities have been reported, the state coun- cil of defense notified the Arizona chief executive that several carloads of potatoes could he secured in.medi- ately at one and a half cents a pound and that onion growers m several districts near Sacramento were will ing to supply practically limitless amounts at the low price of sixty cents a hundred pounds.

PAYING for the War.

Christopher Turnor, an English econ
omist. writing in the London Chron-
icle of recent date, says the agricul-
tural resources of Britain can be so
developed as TO practically pay the
cost of the present war. Turnor notes
that in normal times the 100000
people of Britain yearly expend 81,
000,000,000 for food supplies, of which
amount only half is produced at home,
the balance consisting of importatons.
Meanwhile more than 100000 acres
of arabic British land is unproductive
of food supplies and thousands Of pos
sible land workers are crowded into
cities, insufliciently employed and fed.
Only a few British farms produce the
maximum of possibility, owing to tax
methods of cultivation. Turnor argues
for some form of agricultural reor-
ganizatlon and estimates that produc-
ton can be far more than doubled,
making it possible to realize $4,000
100000 from this source to be applied
to the war debt.
