 Tackle Jack Johnson

Jack Johnson, one time heavy weight champion of the world and a fugitive from justice, is now sup posed to be on his way back to Chi cago to face the music. Johnson says that after he has served his term of ore year he will challenge Jack Dempsey for the title.
 When Dempsey was asked recently what his attitude would be in regard to a match with Johnson, the cham pion declared that under no circum- stances would he consider such a bout, but that he would match his sparring partner, Bill Tate, against Johnson and back him for any amount Johnson can raise.

YOUNG, GIANTS'
 OUTFIELDER ILL
 WITH INFLUENZA

r Dallas, Tex, March g - Ross Young, right fielder for the Giants and one of the stars of the National League, lies i'll with influenza at the Imperial Hotel here. Saturday it was understood that the outfelder had in jured his right ankle in sliding home in the game with San Antonio last Thursday. However. later it deve1
 oped that Young was in bed with a
 fever, and that it was doubtful if he
 would be moved from here for
 another week.
 Young had been coughing for more
 than a week and had been complain
 ing of pains in the side. However,
 he was going great guns, both in the
 field and at the bat. and he refused to leave the game. He was a big favorite with his home fans in San Antonio, and always finished each
 game instead of giving way, as did Burns and Kauff, to substitutes. His 1 physician said that his case was of a mild nature and that there was nc reason for believing that he would not be out of bed in a week.

signature he wrote the above and a
lot more.
Another thing that Major Childers
wrote, which has directed to himself
the intense hatred of the military
and constabulary, was this:
"The military regime in Ireland
is disreputable and cowardly in its
very nature, because it is waged by
the strong against the weak for a
base and selfish end-the military
domination of a people rightly to be
free"
The big leaders of Sim Fem
never think of sleeping in their own
homes. because to do so would be
to invite a raid, their arrest and de-
portation to an English prison.
So they enjoy sleeping OUT privi-
leges that are unique. In every Irish
city and town there are scores of
families that keep an extra bed"
always ready for these leaders, who
are constantly hunted by the police.
Curfew regulations are more strin-
gent in some places than in others.
In Cork, for instance, every citizen
must be off the streets by 10 o'clock
at night; in Dublin they are permit
ted out until midnight.

Says Southern Bell Salts
Away Millions In Its Charges
From the Georgia Municipal League

From the Georgia Municipal League
Bulletin.)
The outstanding joke upon the
public in the handling of their utili-
ties, such as water powers, street
railways, and telephone systems, is
of course in the so call
ed valuation of the properties, by
which process properties, the develop
ment of which actually cost so much,
are valued by experts at a far great
er amount, in order to justify the
rate making body, such as the Rail-
road Commission of Georgia, in fix
ing rate to be paid by the people,
which will enable the corporation to
pay dividends, or put INTO its sur
plus sums, which will represent, not
a fair return upon the actual cost,
but upon the so-called value of the
property. Experts employed by
utility corporations for this purpose
have been known to value proper
ties at five times the valuation plac-
ed upon them by experts employed
by the public. 1t is anybody's guess
as to the true value.
Biggest Joke Yet.
But the best joke of all is that UNI
der the system the public is made to
pay not only "a fair return" upon
the supposed value" but they also
pay the actual cost of the property
itself. For example, the balance
sheet of the Southern Bell for De-
cember 81, 1919, shows the item
Reserved for Accrued Depreciation
$6,860,405." This item in the Bal
ance Sheet of December 81, 1916,
was S3,857461. which shows that the
Southern Bell in three years time
has put aside to cover depreciation
S2.002,944 or at the rate OF over d
million year In 1919, it would
seem, they put aside $1,580,430.0O
from their earnings for this purpose.
In 1918, the company charged as
an expense of operation $852,000 to
depreciation. In 1917, the charge
was $1,531,922 when an additional
item of 81, 162,738 was charged to
current maintenance" In 1916 the
charge for depreciation was $1,471,-
O45, while 81 ,058,703 was charged
to current maintenance. In 1915,
81 ,299,484 was the charge to ode
preciation," that to current mainte-
nance" for that year $955,891.
In other words, while in the years
1917, 1916, 1915, the company claim
ed to have paid out $3,177332 to-
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1920-11-09

maintain orkeep uplts properties, the
company also charged to expense
$4,302,501, which is elaine to have
put aside to cover depreciation or to
replace the property of the company
upon the idea that the property IS
being consumed in the public service.
Public Pays.
This money comes from the users
of the telephone. 1t is in addition
to the IL per cent which the Com
pany pays in royalties to its stock
holders, the interest which pays its
bondholders, and the dividends which
the stockholders receive.
THRIFTY years is the time usually
allowed in which to pay off bond.
In thirty years, if the company
continues this rate of putting aside
money to replace its properties,
namely charging more than $1,000
900 per annum to depreciation, the
Southern Bell will have put aside
with interest added at per cent over
$52,500,000, or S25,000,000 more
than the company's entire capital
stock of $27 100000. This $751;
100000 the company will have in
hand to replace its worn out" %
plant, although, if the company con-
tinues to spend for current main
tenance" the sums spent in 1913,
1916, and 1917, the company will
have spent in keeping up that plant
$30,O00,000, or $2,500,00O more
than its capital stock.
The users of the telephone, the
people, will have paid these sums
charged to depreciation" and main
tenance," namely SS2,500,000, or
more than three times the company's
total capital stock, in addition to in
terest, royalties and dividends. But
the people will have to show only
their receipted bills, which bills will
nave steadily increased in size, if the
company's plans go through, while
the company and its owners will have
both the money and property to
show, and will be clamoring for high
er rates to pay returns upon the in
creased value of the property, for
which property the public will have
paid.
In New York, he wahve heard, a
reduction instead of an increase in
telephone rates followed careful
investigation of this item of depre-
citation.

Think of raiding a private house

though the detectives are held for
the most part by women and terri

in charge the soldiers with fixed bay

rant shown on entering, no apology
on leaving, if, as in nine cases out

less and the raid mistake.
