Efficiency and the Public

The unceasing debate between
advocates of public and private
3" ownership of utilities and natural
resources, is frequently clouded
by misuse of the term efficiency.
B" Private ownership advocates think,
in terms of theoretical efficiency;
whereas their opponents gener-
= ally have commercial efficiency in
mind. Commercial efficiency
measures results in terms of rela-
tive value to the public. Thus
what difference does it make to
the public If the steel trust can
make steel more quickly and more
cheaply than steel plants in other
countries If the price this public
must pay for steel is higher? OF
what advantage to the public is
beautifully equipped power plant
in private hands If its price to
the public is double what public
ownership could provide? p. Z
The profits of the private mon
opolist represent not efficiency by
inetflciency for the public. Our
society is terribly inefficient be-
cause great private interests are
so efficient in extracting private
profits from It.

MINISTER'S PROTEST PERsEcu.
80 TIONS.

Eleven of the most prominent
clergymen Of New York City, includ-
ing the dean of the Cathedral Of st.
John, dean of the Yale School Of Re.
ligion, and the president of Union
Theological seminary, have issued .
much-needed statement on mob vio-
lence and intimidation. .
"Unhappily," say the ministers,
violence, recently employed in the
name of patriotism, has been allowed
to go unpublished by the authorities
and has even been praised by leaders
in government and in the press. Con-
donations of violence lead =, to con-
tempt Of law and strengthen those
who counsel revolution" a@a' .,.
To meet the situation they urge:
81. That all men and women Of
good will set themselves to influence
public opinion through every available
medium against lawless measures by
whomsoever they may be employed.
"2. That they resolve to see that
fair hearings and just trials are given
to men, irrespective of their political
or economic opinions, SO that It may
be said that in America no mans case,
be he an l. w. w. or q Bolshevist or
the most reactionary conservative, is
prejudiced by an appeal to popular
feeling; and in particular that they
set themselves against the counsels Of
hate, whose effect upon the rising
generation can be only to pile up fu-
ture disaster for mankind.
IS. Since, In the Judgment of the
attorney general of the United States,
existing laws against criminal terror
ism are adequate, and since free dis.
cussion is essential for the exposure Of
economic and political errors, that the
attempt be abandoned to coerce mi.
nority opinion 80 long as It does not
promote disorder, or to defeat social
change by repressive legislation"
There Is only one competent agency
in our democracy capable of deter
mining questions of this kind and that
Is public opinion. The American peo-
ple have had many different ideas
preached to them before this and II
ID probable that they can continue to
exercise sood 0nse in regard to them.

the city Of Toronto:
Low Cost to Public.

Low Cost to Public.
The figures for 1916 and 1917 show
that the results secured in Toronto
compare favorably with those of the
famous municipal light project in
Cleveland, Ohio, which has been and
still is retailing electricity for 3 cents
per kilowat hour. Privately owned
electric power systems both in Can
ada and the United States average
about 10 cents per kilowat hour to
the consumer.
The Ontario commission at first con-
tracted for power from private COM
panies; then it began putting In new
developments of its own and In
August, 1917, bought out the private
company which had the concession at
Niagara Falls.
1t does not sell the power direct
to consumers, but contracts with cities
and other public units and these In
turn put in the facilities for retailing
the current. In 1908, two years after
the commission was created, it was
dealing with Is government units. In
1918, 10 years later, it was supplying
2O5 cities, towns and villages.
| No Burden On Tax Rate.
While aiming to supply service at
cost, as the extremely low rates would
indicate, the whole system has none
the less paid good profits and has con-
sequently been no burden to the tax
payer. It's profit for the year ending
October 1, 1918, was $204,166, after
allowing $106,S73 for a sinking fund,
which was also profit In the business
sense, for 1t represents the paying
back of invested capital. ..ss>
The municipalities which retail the
current are also earning profits after
paying all legitimate charges. The
only exceptions are the rural develop
ments which offer cheap power to
farmers, but even on these the deficit
for the year ending October 81, 1918
was only $1,72S and viii probably be
wiped out with more extensive rural
use of the service.

How the Truck 10 Made.
A hay truck IL feet long by feet
vide will hold about 1900 to 1000
pounds Of cured hay. It consists OF
a rack which rests on an A-shaped
frame. At the rear, the frame is sup
ported by two 16 to 20 inch wheels
placed about feet from the end.
The front is supported by 9 by S-inch
wooden block of sufficient length to
hold the truck level. This is known as
the trigger, and is fastened by heavy
bolt between the two main frame TIM
bers near where they come together.
Upright standards are placed at each
end of the frame in an A-shaped posi-
ton. At the top of each standard q
notch is cut to receive 2 by inch
ridge pole that supports the canvas
covering and keeps it'from lying fiat
on the hay, thus permitting the air to
circulate freely at the top. The truck
Is moved by means Of a 2-horse team
and q 2-wheel running gear, similar to
the front running gears Of low-wheel'
ed wagon. This gear is attached
to the front end Of the truck by means
Of a long clevis pin, and when the
team starts the forward movement
causes the trigger to trip and drag
on the ground, the weight Of the load
being thus shifted to the running
gears. Upon reaching the barn or
baling machine the team Is backed q
step or two, which causes the trigger
to assume an upright position and
again support the front end of the
Lead.

 Nor would MT. Hines allow the roads to be made the instrument for imposing these fanciful prices upon the public. He recognizes that high prices ana high wages are problems which must be solved naturally. They cannot be solved by dreamers ana demagogues. They cannot be solved by legislation rulings or other artificial means.

YOU vs. GOD-YOU'RE LICKEDw

Friday is ended-Sabbath day is past. The gray and gold of Easter day has dawned and gone.
 We have set one day, and have said: " his IS Easter; on this day shall Jesus Christ arise from the dead" But every day is Easter where men and women come with one cry in their hearts and on ther ilps-the cry that they may find their Lord.
 God does not meet us on our terms. Let us go freely, humbly, to meet Him on His.
 Who are we to make rules for our faith? Who are we to say, This day IS Easter, and no other?n Who are We to say, fGod is defined thus and so: His limits are known; He speaks through some months and not through others; He is our God and not the God of the poor man whom we scorn?"
 God comes in, and who so tries to keep Him back is as one who would sweep back the mighty Atlantic ocean with broom As he presses on at one tiny point, the ocean surges up at countless others The waves rush on unhindered, and the puny man who would resist is overwhelmed and made 'one of them"
 d has no right ot preach the Word But today women are preaching-th who never before had courage to voice the ! truth that was in them. Women have ] burst their shackles and are helping 1 Christ to drive the dove sellers from l the Tempe.
 It Is right that women should preach Woman first brought sin into the world, and women ought to be the first to help undo that wrong
 A woman hailed the Resurrection and preached the first Resurrection sermon. The first Easter sermon should be followed by others
 . Women helped Peter and Paul in their work of spreading the Word. They should spread the Word today.
 God is not to be limited by man. Man drives stakes in the earth-wood- en stakes of form, of creed, of money, of social standing, of responsibility, of earthly glory and power. But God strides over those stakes and goes out to seek the heart that truly loves Him. He is the same yesterday, today and forever.
 In these latter days, mems souls are catching fire. The war is a sign-the plague is a sign the greatest sign of all is the outpouring of the Spirit which now is seen on earth. The pow

 Mary's pretty pink cheeks turned white as snow.
 I reminded myself that the Lorimers did not need any more money than they already had. and that was hang ing on to my clue in the jewel hunt only for the adventure and to give Jim Jr., an exciting occupation when he left the Air Service. But Mary had been very, very good to me and for the moment I was tempted to hand all my information over to her.

There was a thing I had to know before I left Mary Thomas house. And because she had saved me from a wretched plight and had given me place in which to rest and think over my strange state, 1 owed her a word of appreciation. I tried to tell her so as we lunched together in her dainty dining room-after I had ex plained that, I must go away.
 But she evaded my gratitude with:
 Don't leave me Jane. Please don't. I've so much to talk over with you matters concerning myself"
 But l can't possibly stay here-Dr. Certeis comes here. He might dis cover me. Of course he would report to Daddy Lorimer at once."
 And I can imagine the effect on the Hon. James D. Lorimer!" Mary's shrug was expressive. But you needn't meet Certeis-he seldom comes-and only on business with Tiny. He doesn't want Tiny to come to his office. So they meet here"
 "Then it's 'Kismet' for me to come face to face with him some day." in- Bisted and I 1aughted-perhaps too gayly. I laughed because a weight of gloom was lifted from my spirits. Certeis came to talk with Tiny! He did not call on Mary. The strange jealousy-to which had not shadow of a right-was stilled.
 To conceal my heightened color, stepped to the phone and ordered the railroad tickets and the Pullman reser- vation for Eloise. It, occurred to me that Mary Thomas would naturally conclude that the tickets were for me. was sorry to let her keep the thought sorry to be so secretive, but it was impossible for me to confide to her my, plans to save Eloise Vanderlyn from a long confinement in an insane asylum.
