GAN ENTIRELY DIFFERENT MATTER"

A very familiar New Mexico procedure is be-
ing INDUCED at Santa Fe. An expert" called by
the Mountain States Telephone company, fixes the
Replacement value of the company's property
in New Mexico at $S,50O,OO0 Previously 1t had
been shown that the book value" $2.27S,295.
Upon this latter amount the company feels itself
entitled to earn a fair rate of interest. If their
values are correct they should be permitted to
charge tolls sufficiently high to earn reasonable
interest on the amount
The telephone company knew the book value
of all their properties in New Mexico to the dollar
No trouble about that But when City Attorney
Keleher tried to learn book values or replace
ment values any other old values in Albuquer-
que, he tried in vain. No expert knew. Yet
the hearing called to determine upon a rea-
sonable telephone rate in Albuquerque. The tele-
phone company excerpts to fix rate which will
earn reasonable rate of interest its Albuquer-
que investment, but doesn't know how much that
Investment is We assume that 1t wishes permits
sion to guess, feeling confident of its ability to
guess high enough.
Such duplicity ought not to be endured. The
company does know the value Of its Albuquerque
plant, of course 1t should be forced to tell Why
will public sentiment tolerate such horse play?'
When Mr.. Keleher showed the assessed valua-
ton of telephone property in Albuquerque for
tax-payng purposes to be $122,76S, the telephone
companys representative pronounced that IAN en-
tirely different matter"
1t has been an entirely different matter in
the past We hope the telephone company will
accept our kind assurances that actual values and
assessed values will be very approximately the
same in the future.

Of government is complete. 1t marks an acknow-
Judgement of the utter failure of the theorists who

DIsCoURAGING MIGRATION.

We are reminded in the statements that Italy
has taken steps to reduce migration from that
country and that Germany is expected to take SINH
lar action that writer's even before the war,
thought migration to the United States had practice
ally drained Europe OF surplus population. As
this country now has law restricting immlgra-
ton, the action of some other nations promises
n double check to reported plans for the over
running of this land.
At the rate immigrants were arriving in this
country following the war up to the time the re-
strctive measures were applied, and in view of
plans made for a great emigration from Russia, 1t
is plain that there has been diminution- of the
attractiveness OF the United States. Only govern
mental action at both ends can slow up emigra-
ton.
There is no movement OF peoples in the past
to compare with the migration to the United
States. The making of one people out of many

race building; for. matter how discouraged
Americanizers may become occasionally over in

EDITORIAL OF THE DAY
ADVERTISING AND COSTS.
(From the Danville Commercial New

(From the Danvlle Commercial News)
Prof. Horace Secrist director of the bureau of
business research of Northwestern university, has
completed survey of the clothing business and the
cost of advertising. His survey covered period
of three years and shows that advertising takes
only s2.07 from 800 spent by the customer.
AS Prof. Secrst says, this is sufficient answer
to those who make the assertion that If much
were not spent in advertising, costs would only be
about half what they are, but we believe the pro-
fessor would have discovered that intelligent adj
vertisng reduces the cost to the customer had he
carried his investigations further.
Intelligent advertising means increased demand
and increased demand means greater production
and every one knows increased or quantity pro-
duction decreases the cost Of production.

then advertises that the article Is for sale an

UNCLE WIGGILY AND THE
COCOANUT.
BY Howard Il CARTS

Once upon a time Nurse Jane
Fuzzy Wuzzy called to Uncle Wig
gily, who was raking up the dried
leaves in the yard:
"Wiggy! l wish you would go
to the seven and eight cent store
for me and get a cocoanut"
II shall be glad to do that for
you, Nurse Jane" the bunny gen.
tleman answered. II suppose" he
added, you are going to make a
cocoanut cake?'
"You guessed It the first time!
laughed Miss Fuzzy Wuzzy. And
don't be any longer than you can
help, Wiggy, my dear!"
Uncle Wiggily promised that he
would hurry and away he hoped
over the fields and through the
woods.
Now what Nurse Jane had said
to the rabbit gentleman was heard
by Johnnie and Billie Bushytail
the two squirrels who happened
to be passing Uncle Wiggilys hol-
low stump bungalow at the time.
Lets play a nice little Joke
on Uncle Wiggily," chartered
Johnnie, when he heard Nurse
Jane say to bring home a cocoa
nut.
"How?" asked Billie.
"I'll tell YOU" went on Johnnie
and he whispered in his brothers
ear and laughed.
At the same time, hiding be-
hind the trees, the bad old Bushy
Bear heard what Nurse Jane told
the bunny. The Bear was look
ing about for many things to eat
to make himself fat before he
crawled into his den for the long.
winter sleep.
"And I might as we'll have few
nibbles of Uncle Wiggily as from
any one else" growled the Bear.
"I'll follow along and when he
comes back from the store, with
the cocoanut in his paws. I'll grab
him!"
So Uncle wiggily started off.
Johnnie and Billie started off and
the Bear started off. Now what
the squirrel boys were going to
do was this: They were going to
buy a cocoanut and hang 1t up
in a tree along the path where
Uncle Wiggily would hop. And
when he reached the place they
were going to play Joke on him
by dropping the cocoanut down
the tree to surprise the bunny.
For, OF course, he would know
that cocoanuts didn't grow on
trees in his woods.
Only hickory nuts, butternuts.
walnuts and chestnuts grew in
Uncle Wiggily's woods. Cocoanuts
had to be brought in ships from
far off palm tree countries.
Billie and Johnnie bought a

CHICAGO BOARD OF TRADE.

Chicago, Sept. 30.-Predictlons
Of enlarged receipts In the north
west next week had good deal
to do with making wheat prices
decline today. The market closed
heavy. 1&c to 2%c net lower. with
December $1.2O1s to $1.20% and
May 1881 to $1.25A. Corn lost
&C to l nc and oats u C to NC. In
provisions the outcome varied from
15c decline to 10c advance.
1t was said that consignment
notices of wheat due to arrive at
northwestern terminals were Of
greater volume than for any pre-
vious time this season. From this
circumstance bears drew the in
ference that spring wheat farmers
were showing a disposition to mar
ket their surplus without delay
Notwithstanding government IL
nances available to carry the Grain
if so desired. Furthermore. bears
commended that from poor foreign
demand and from reported offers
of resale it would seem the heavy
exports of United States wheat
during July and August were act
ing at present as q boomerang on
prices. The market scored a rally
after midday on account of cover
ing by shorts. but when demand
from this source had been satisfied
values weakened again. and closed
near the bottom level Of the ses-
sion.
Corn and oats. like wheat. were
without any aggressive support.
September delivery of corn fell to
the lowest price in eighteen years.

some firmness to provisions.
