Financing of Public Utilities


Public utilities cannot stand still. It is essential
both to public welfare and to success OF the utility
itself, that it meet promptly the constantly growing
demand for the community it serves. To do so re-
quires a constant supply of new capital, which cannot
be provided out of surplus earnings, but must be OBJ
tanned in the money market at the price it is worth.
The contention that capital devoted to a public use by
investment in public utilities is not entitled to as high
a return as capital in private investments, is unsound.
The investor who represents a considerable part of the
public, may do what he pleases with his money, and
it is he who fixes the price which the public utility
must pay. Consequently, any attempt at a sound
regulation of the financing of a public utility involves
the recognition of these two fundamental propositions:
The public requirements mustbe met.
The public must pay for what il receives.
1t is beyond the power of regulation to say what
shall be paid for money. What rate of return will
attract new capital to public utilities is a question of
fact; and all that any legislature, commission, or city
can do is to determine this question of fact. If it
reaches an erroneous decision, new money will not be
forthcoming; and all that the regulatory body can
then do is to revise its own conclusion.

NEXT SUNDAY IS EASTER

The meaning of Easter and its mes
sage of joy, the revival of hope and
the buoyant renewal Of our aspiration
come to an old and tired world and
pervade our lives even as the spring
tide floods and fills the meadows with
her everlasting miracle. Ii the earth
can put off her drab habiliments of
winter and forget the somber, sunless
hours, so can the children of earth.
In every life today there may be a
resurrection from the dead.
Easter is more than church festi-
val. Believer and unbeliever together
share the influences Of the day. In
ach of US, whatever creed we formally
profess, there dwells the feeling that
the day betokens. 1t is the assurance
that life is worth the living and that
love can never lose its own. We stand
today not at the brink of tomb but
on the threshold of this eternal life
and of this love immortal.
If you have been negligent IN reli-
gious matters in the past, let this day
witness a rebirth of spirit Go to the
church of your choice and commune
again with the risen Lord.
The Knights Templar will worship
at the Christian church.

PAVING WILL SOON BEGIN

Word Is received from Contractor
Lampert of Oshkosh that machinery
for the Viroqua paving job Is being
loaded this week and that IL the wealth.
err permits the work in our city will
start sometime next week. That 1t
cannot start too soon Il the opinion Of
everyone who has travelled Decker
street for the past four weeks. Ger
tainly this street, which carries as
much traffic almost as Main street,
has never been in more wretched con-
dition. 1t Is common remark among
people who view and use the street
that as long as the west section is go
ing to be paved, it would be grave
mistake not to also pave the section
from Main TO the Milwaukee depot,
and we would not be surprised IL a
united public sentiment would demand
this Improvement before the season Is
over. Ii this happens, and the good
people of Jefferson give Lampert the
job of putting in their half mile Of
paving (which has been mentioned)
he win have a busy season. And while
on the subject, we hope that the eoun-
ty road officials win see their way
clear to go ahead this year with the
concrete pavement south TO the forks
of the road where ii and 81 meet.
Rightly viewed the sooner these much
ly used sections are covered with con-
crete the better it will be for all con-
cerned. Mike Ellefson, progressive
farmer, showed the proper spirit TO
display toward paved roads, when he
recently said. II feel that | could af-
ford to give one-fifth Of my farm If
could get a paved road to town"

Service Bulletin No. 2.
The following letter received from
the United States Veterans Bureau,
Chicago, Illinois, is quoted for the in
formation and guidance of all Post
Service Officers and members:
MY Dear Adjutant Peterson:
/ am taking the liberty of quoting
herewith from a confidential report
received from the Chief of the Inves4
tigation Section of the Legal Division
of the Bureau in Washington. / be-
lieve it will be of interest to all Well
fare workers of your organization and
| think should be sent out to your var
ious members in order that they may
be protected against the activity of
the people in question.
at has come TO light in this city
that a concern styling themselves
, Committee on War Risk Insurance
Benefieiaries' is apparently sending
broadcast through the mails, circular
letters to ali benefciaries of term in
surance, informing them that they
propose to have Congress introduce
bill whereby the Treasury Department
shall issue bonds or certificates similar
to Liberty Bonds in coupon forms of
S57 so each, to be turned over to such
beneficiaries in order that they may
have same cashed and receive the full
amount of insurance due them. For
such services they are requesting the
above cited benefciaries TO remit $40
in order to defray expenses of same.
lnasmuch as their proposition is next
to an impossibility, there can be no
other method in the minds of this conf
mittee than to pick up some easy
money from the nonsuspecting bene-
| ticiaries. The proposition is under
| investigation at this end, but we must
have more data. Therefore, each Ex-
aminer is earnestly requested that in
interviewing widows, who are receiving
insurance benefits to ascertain from
them If they have received such COM
munication, if so, obtain the commu-
nication, together with the envelope
in which it was mailed, this is very inn
portant. At the same time advising
the widow or beneficiary to hold on to
their $40. 1t would also be well for
you TO impart this information to the
| District or Sub District Managers,
when you come in touch with, them, so
that they may be on guard and Coz
operate accordingly. It is obvious,
that the fact, that these people APP
parently having obtained a mailing
list of all beneficiaries, that someone
in the Bureau is supplying same"
Thanking you for your cooperation
in these matters in the past, remain.

THE FIRST WOMAN JURY

It was thought that the Circuit term
of court would see the first woman
jurors in action, but they were disap-
pointed. In the case of the State of

six jurors were women-Faye Smith,
Mrs. r E. Morley, Mrs. NJ. A. Smith
and Verna Thayer. The mere men
were Sam Sauer and Clerk of Court
A. d. Helgeson Andy enjoys the dis
tinction of being chairman of the first
Vernon jury upon which women serv-
ed.
The case was the outgrowth of a
bitter family row which the jury felt
should have been settled at home, and
they declared the defendent not guilty.

Judge Thomas to
 Review Case of
 Nicholas HOrvath

After hearing both sides on the composition offer of Nicno-as Hor- vath, and why certain creditors wish ed to reject the composition, Referee in Bankruptcy John J. Keogh said yesterday that the matter would have to go before Judge Edwin $. Thomas for review. before the United States court.
 Horvath was adiudged DanHrupt some time ago. and charges of em- bezzlement, to which he pleaded guilty, were preferred against him. He was sentenced to serve one year in jail but after two months was let out On probation. Since the bank gress his drug store has been con- ducted under the supervision of At torney A. J. Merritt, receiver for the estate.
 The receiver believes that the creditors will receive more by ac- cepting the composition offered than by forcing the sale of the business which he claims has proapered while under his care. A balance of S1, ,31O. 5i and $1,00O in trust is shown by him
 Most of the creditors are willing tc accept the 15 per cent. composition offer of Horvath. Others, however represented by Attorney Brody, ob. ject to the offer and claim that tc that a clean bill would be given to 2 bankrupt who has pleaded guilty tc enlbezzlement. The steamship com panies represented by Horvath have agreed to make good all the none. that any client lost through the1l agent. Horvath has in turn agreed to pay them.

MANY CHANGES
 AT CITY HALL.

The City Hall committee headed by City Clerk Francis E. Dunigan has caused some radical changes and inn provements to be made at City Hall, A large vault in the basement of the hall that heretofore has been put to no use at all has been made over and fitted with shelves to care for strong boxes that hold receipts of bills oon- tracted by the city as far back as 1898. The boxes are arranged in a business like manner and are easy to reach. Telephone wires at the hall have been repaired and now lead into one switch box where mechanics may have ready access in case of accident All electric light fuses have been
 standardized. Up to the time of the 1 change the fuses were of different amperage and when one blew out it
 was necessary to hunt all over town 1 to get the right type.
 1 During rainy days the basement of
 the hall was usually flooded with rain water. This evil has been corrected l by having a system installed whereby
 the water is prevented from backing up.
 | Electric light wires in the building have been rerun and no further trou-
 b1e will be had with the lightning sys- tenn.
