T0SUPREME COURT
w. R. E. Case Likely to Be
Fought Similar to Power
Company Issue.
CONVENTIONS REVIEWED

The line of battle has been drawn
in the valuation of the Washington
Railway and Electric system. indicat-
ing that this case goes to the United
States Supreme Court for final settle
ment. as now appears probable. 1t viii
be fought out in much the same man
ner that the Potomac Power Com
pany valuation case was.
Three Major Contentious.
Three major contentious were de-
veloped by Conrad H. Syme, general
counsel for the commission, in his
argument before the Supreme Court
In the Potomac appeal.
These were that the fair value of the
property for rate-makinE purposes
was the amount of money or properly
actually. honestly and prudcntiy IN
vested in the business. and that tn"
company was entitled to have its real
estate valued at the fair pr@%"nt-aa
market value; that the company mao
no right to endeaNor t" capitail"
against the public the franchises 10
use the public streets which the pun
lie had granted to 1t to enable IL 70
carry on it's business, and finally. that
the reproduction cost should be aScer-
tanned as of a normal time and under
normal conditions, and that its chief use
was to assist in determining the
&ctual. legitimate investment In the
property.
There is no reason to believe that
Mr.. Syme will change his attitude as
to these principles when the valua-
ton Of the property of the railway
company is considered.
80 Millions, Estimated Value.
Attorneys for the traction system
claimed in their arguments before the
utilities commission, which terminal
ed yesterday, that the company IS
entitled to have its property valued
at what it would cost to reproduce
it's physical property at the present
time, being about s20,500,000.
To this they would add development
cost, approximately $4.00o.000. the
capitalization of it's right to use the
streets of Washington at about 81
100000, and other intangible items
amounting to about $1,000 900. MAX
ing a reproduction valuation of about
$4,000. 900.
General Counsel Syme holds that
the difference between the Pillsbury
reproduction c6st of the physical
property of the company of $4,000
900. as Of July I, 1914. and Almert's
estimates for the company of $50
500.0 900. as of December 1. 1916, repre-
sents the difference between normal
and abnormal conditions occasioned
by the greatly increased cost of labor
and materials caused by the war.

BRIGHT SPOTS IN
TIE LIFE OF AN EDITOR.

Making a newspaper every day,
even though it be a small newspaper,
Is an endless grind and times are
when the temptation to steal silently
away like the Arabs is very strong,
but the editors life has bright spots
n it, and when he receives an invita-
tion, couched in the gentle and sincere
terms used by the directors of the
South Florida fair and the Tampa Ro-
tarians, to come to the fair and the
press breakfast, he feels that his eff
forts, though they may not have been
crowned with financial success, have
not fallen on stony ground, but have
found root in the hearts of his fellow
men, who have minds capable of rec
ognizing and approaching his work.
We deem it a special privilege to
have the opportunity of mingling and
working with Tampa's most progress
i've citizens, who are building a city,
the foundations of which are on bed
rock, and which will stand as a monu-
ment to their persistent and intelli-
gent efforts.

LAUNCH rs STEEL VESSELS
All Records for Shipbuiding Broken
by Skinner G. Eddy's Big Plant
at Seattle.

Seattle, Misunderstanding all rec
Ords for shipbuilding, the Skinner &
Eddy corporations plant No. 1, in this
city, launched &c steel steamships in
the year 1918. The vessels had an ag-
gregate tonnage of 232,400 lightweight
tons.
AS the plant has five shipways the
average tonnage for each way was 49,
$50 tons. Nothing approaching this
average has been accomplished before
in the history of the worlds shipbuild-
ing.
No other five shipways at one plant
have averaged more than 10000 dead
weight tons in year, according to ma
rine experts.
There have been records of a single
way of more than 10000 tons in
year, but that was where one large
ship was built in a year.
The last of the vessels constructed
at this plant for the year was the
steamship Edgefeld that was deliv-
cred on the last day of the year. She
is G,F4s-toA vessel.

ORGANIZATION IN BUSINESS

No enterprise, of whatever nature,
can be made a success without organi-
cation. No line of business Of any kind
whatever, be it small or large, can dis
pense with well organized system.
An indispensable feature of organi-
cation is the advertising of the bust
ness. This is all important. Diso1-
ganized ideas of this important fea-
ture have been the cause of failure III
getting desirable results for money
spent in advertising. 1t was q useless
expenditure because it was not prop
crly prepared. When a business man
advertises his goods, as every business
man should, he should place himself
in the place of the prospective GUS
toner. What kind Of advertising
catches his eye? What has he in view
when he reads advertising matter?
What features of the advertisements
caught his eye, attracted his atten-
ton? Then arrange his ad according
ly, or leave it to some one who can do
this for him. If he will try this meth
cd he is very apt to get desired re-
suits.
