iIrectly or Indirectly
State Must Fix Rate
"If it is eventually determined by
this court or the Supreme Court, on
appeal that the rate fixed by the
Board of Public Utility Commission
ers is confiscatory, it will be neces-
sary for the board to prescribe a new
rate of fare. 1t is, OF course, not to
be doubted that the board will fix a
valuation and rate of fare which this
court or the Supreme Court, on ap-
peal, may eventually determine is
proper in order to avoid contiscation.
The report declared the value of the
plaintiffs property which is to be us y
as a base for determining whether the
rate complained of is conascatory is
not the original cost Of such property
but the value thereof at the time of
the inquiry, or, in other words, present
value.
The report estimated the cost of re-
production, new, at present prices,
less depreciation, at S9S,291,563 &,
power leases or contract at SS,000,009;
going value S5,500,00O, atotal of SILL
791, ,563. Another estimate, at pre-war
prices, for cost of reproduction, new,
appreciated 30 per cent, less depreci-
alton, at S90,497,795; power lease or
contarct at SSOOO,O00 and going value,
$500, 900, a total of S103, ,997,795. The
historical or original cost of construct
ing the system was approximately
500, 100000. The total capitalization
is approximately S156,OO0,000.
CAS- above stated" said the report,
81 think that the proper way to ascer-
tain the reproduction cost new, in this
case is by taking present prices (as
they have become reasonably stable),
rather than pre-war prices, appreci-
ated by percentage representing an
average price level of many repre-
sentative commodities.
Taking the figures thus ascertain
ed as the cost of reproduction new,
less depreciation. and taking into
consideration all relevant facts men
toned in the before quoted extract
from Smyth VS.. Ames, SO far as the
evidence enables me to do so, as well
as the fact that it seems clear from
the evidence that the property is cap

value which | have reached and Civ

future values the fair or reasonable

purposes, in my Judgment, the sum OF
S110 900 900, in round numbers.
"The serious and difficult question
is exactly what constitutes fair rate
of return. The amount which the
board considered that the rate com
planned of would produce, over and
above operating expenses Qncluding
maintenance and depreciation) and
taxes, was S5,S42 800. This the board
held would be fair return upon the
valuation which it made, and would
give the company rate of slightly
over 7 per cent upon such valuation
This figure does not take into account
anv allowance for the cost of money,
which, as before stated, the board
said should be taken care Of in the
amount Of the return.
Moreover, the plaintir insists that
the rate fixed by the board would not
have produced as great a return as
the board estimated that it would by
at least S2.400.000. l think that the
plaintiffs figures in this respect are
extravagant, but it does seem reason
ably clear, both from the defendants
witness. Mr. Perry. and from what
has happened subsequently, that the
boards estimate of the net returns
was excessive.
"If the boards estimate of what its
rate of fare would have produced (S5.-
S42,5OO) is accepted, then the rate of
return on the value of the plaintiff :
property as I have above fixed it,
would be only 5.34 per cent, and on
the valuation of S103 600, 900, it would
be only 5.67 per cent. The percent
age. of course, would be less if it is
figured on S5.727,90S 1t will be borne
in mind that the last declaration Of
the Supreme Court southwestern

cent is wholly inadequate

ing at the case in the most favorable
aspect to the defendants, the rate
fixed by the board is confiscatory and
violates the Fourteenth Amendment,

PUBLIC SERVICE WINS AGAIN

Public Service Corporation usually gets what it wants which
whole lot more than can said for the dear public, when it
comes to trolley service. Judge Haght, who was named as a spe-
cal master to investigate the request of Public Service for an elgnt
cent fare, has reported in favor of the company. While the mat
lar is vet to be formally passed upon, it is taken for granted that
the report will be accepted.
Now W. would like to have Judge Haight pass upon some Of
the requests of the public. The kind of accommodations beng
Given the people of this vicinity by Public Service is not worth
otobt cents a ride. The company positively refuses to do anything
far the civ in the way of keeping up with the growth OF the COM
nunitv. There is no future as far as Public Service IS concerned
II merely uses the two main streets of the city, blocking traffic at
the principal corner which it uses fol a terminal in direct defiance
of +bo nrovisions in its franchise, and keeping the pavement in a
terrible condition by the constant pounding of its cars.
Public Service takes its own good time in doing such work as
4 is called upon to do. For a year or more upper smith street
was in a dangerous condition because of the refusal OF Puohc Ser
wee 10 do its part of the repaving, and the Maurer section of State
street is still in a deplorable condition, the approach to the WOOD
bridge creek bridge being all but shut off. because Public Ser
Vic refuses 70 nut enough men to work to finish up the job.
When Public Service is forced to do anything that the public
wants done it generally tells the city to go ahead and do the work
and charge Public Service with the cost, and then the city can
whistle and wait for its money. We have yet to learn OF any IN
stance where Public Service has shown even an inclination to
please or to cooperate with the city; all its acts have been selfish;
it is working in its own interest all the time.
And so the dear public is to come across with eight cents for
a ride hereafter. Of course, the dear public has been paying eight
cents for some time because, running true to form, Public Service
has been allowed to collect eight cents while the matter was IN
dispute-everything is always in favor of Public Service, it must
never be inconvenience or made to wait. If there is any waiting
to be done, the public does the waiting, and pays while the walt
ing'' is going on.
But the mere fact that the trolley refuses to develop and keep
abreast with the growth of a community spells It's DOOM Inc ous
is rapidly displacng the trolley. 1t will be a good thing when the
buses are thoroughly systematized and equipped and the high
WAYS are,built so as to take care Of the additional traffic that they
cause. Trolley tracks and overhead wires have no place in al
modern thoroughfare.

YOUR MOTIVES

Orr motiyes-the mysterious impulses that cause us to do
things-usually are more interesting than the Things we d-
tuallv do.
The other day 10000 people, watching the ponies per-
form on an eastern race track, abruptly lost all interest III
races when a big fire started in the stables. That was natural,
since nobody is ever too busy to stop ana Watch d lit we
get that from our fre-worshiping ancestors.
Trapped III the wooden stables were l50 thoroughbred
horses. Spectators by the hundreds rushed forward to help
in the rescue. Many dramatically braved the flames and
dashed into the roaring furnace to wrap blankets around the
horses heads and lead them out. DUST why a horse refuses &c
leave a burning building is another mystery, never satisfac-
torly explained)
Out of the $50 horses, only nine persisted. The rest were
rescued-by people who had no direct interest IN them. Why
did they risk death to save the horsesg
The rescuers wou1dnt have rushed into the flames to save
a cat or a useful beast, such as a COW, sheep, hog or chicken.
Only dogs or horses occasionally people, appeal to the res
cuers.
For one thing, the rescuers were responding to an in
stinct inherited from the days when savage dogs helped fight
the enemy and wild beasts, and horses were indispensable in
combat and for travel and flight.
The dog and the horse helped man over the rough bumps
until he got in sight of civilization. Being indispensable, they
naturally HAD to be saved in ancient times. To lose ones
was often a matter of losing ones life. That's why they hung
horse thieves in frontier days. Value was not a consideration.
Horses and dogs no longer are indispensable to most Of
us, but our inherited instinct still leads us into flames to res
cue them.
Another angle of the psychology of the race horse res
cuers is that the race had worked them into the frenzy of
emotion without which the average person is backward about
playing hero at the risk of life or limb.
They had their conscious and Subconscious selves about
nine-tenths race horses. These
horses to them temporarily were the most important things in
the world-the horses IN the stables, waiting to perform, as
well as the ones on the track.
Get a man concentrated on anything (autohypnosis) and
he'll tight If you try to take it away. Reach for a match or
any worthless object on which a man has absent-mindedlv
concentrated, and watch him grab quickly to stop YOU.
1u can imagine a race horse trying to rescue a man.

A WORTHY APPEAL

The annual Home Service appeal is now being made by the
Salvation Army. Here is an organization that is doing an impor-
tant work in this city. It has come to be a part of every large
community and is looked upon as an institution, It would be
hard to fill the place it occupies.
The Salvation Army maintains a large building here to carry
on its work. It furnishes a home and a lodging place for those
who are not provided for in any way. There are always derelicts
to be looked after. We all feel sorry for them, many Of them
being the victims of circumstances, yet we do not know what to do
to help them. The Salvation Army, in its many branches, helps
solve the problem. By helping to support the Salvation Army,
therefore, we are helping these poor fellows.
From the Salvation Army point of view, a man may be down,
hut he lis never out. It is a charitable view to take OF humanity IN
general. It is a spirit of unselfshness that ought to be encouraged
The large investment which the Salvation Army has here and
the public use to which its investment is put, entities it to this
recognition on the part of the people. This Home Service appeal
comes but once a year. It ought to be put across in a few days
so that the army workers can go on about their affairs, taking care
Of those who do not seem to be able to take care of themselves,
