Tricky Bookkeeping Puts Losses on
the Profit Side.
The printed report of a municipal
electric light plant in Indiana has just
been received. It shows a profit. There
is no question about it. It shows n
large profit. The figures are there in
black and white, and they show a
profit equivalent to 30 per cent of the
; gross income and 18 per cent on the
capital invested. That is what we call
. a profitable business.
How was this plant able to make so
good a showing? In a way so simple
that any municipal plant could adopt
it with success if its superintendent
• were good at figures. And the best of
it is that it makes competition by pri-
vate plants impossible because—well,
, stockholders are too inquisitive.
In the first place the fixed charges
for interest on the capital invested and
for depreciation were entirely ignored.
Then no allowance was made for taxes
Millions Sunk In Unsuccessful Munici-
pal Lighting Plants.
During the past few years at least
sixty cities and towns in the United
States have sold, leased or abandoned
their lighting plants. In a few cases
they still retain their distributing sys-
tem, buying the current from some
company, but in most instances they
have gone out of the business entirely.
A number f other places have made
unsuccessfu efforts to dispose of the
plants.
As with few exceptions municipal
lighting plants have been in eperatic
but a short time, this is a remarkable
showing of failure and one, it need
hardly be said, that is sedulously avoid-
ed by those who for ends of their own
are urging other cities to make similar
experiments.
As it usually takes some years for
a city to realize how great a burden
it is carrying in its lighting plant, it
is probable that the number of admit-
ted failures will increase rapidly from-
now on, for, as an eminent electrical
engineer recently said, “There are al
ready indications that a considerable
number of these municipalities which
have engaged in improper undertak-
ings are entering upon a period of
financial difficulty.”
"If.”
“Municipal ownership,” remarks the
Winnipeg Free Press, “should not be
discredited because of its tendency to
increase municipal debt, provided the
new enterprises are made to be fully
self sustaining.” Neither is dynamite
dangerous if carefully handled. It is
just about as safe to intrust the man-
agement of a municipalized service to
the average municipal council as it
would be to engage a seven-year-old
boy to handle dynamite.—Montreal Ga-
zette.

Faults Enough as It is.
The political machine that dominates
New York city is strong because large
powers are delegated to it, and the ex-
penditure of $100,000,000 is given ab-
solutely into its keeping. We have
faults enough without municipal own-
ership in most of the cities of this
country, and the ordinary business
man fails to see the wisdom of making
the situation more complex and dubi-
ous than it is by adding the problem
of municipal ownership with all that it
implies.—Binghamton Herald.
If you, Mr. Union Labor Man of Galveston, know of any-
thing worth printing about yourself, your family or vour fellow
workmen, the Journal wants it? if you are taken sick or are

company $1,000 for supplying impure
and unwholesome water. That is right.

about every union man in Galveston in each edition of the
Journal. We aim to make the paper local in the truest sense
of the word and look for your assistance in doing so. Secreta-

Should have a prominent place on all your printing and
stationery. If it does not appear thereon it is a very
good sign that you are opposed to organized labor; and if
you do not insist upon the Union Label how can you expect
to get your share of business from the espousers of the cause
for which the Label stands—the Trades Unionists? It
would be a very good plan to give this subject fair and just
consideration before you place your next order for printing.

It is perhaps needless to add that ex- i

superintendent prepared his report. a |
considerable deficit would have appear- !
ed instead of the gratifying profits. Of i
course the taxpayers will have to pro- |
vide the money to make good these pa- |
per profits, but they may not for some I
years see the connection between their I
profitable plant and the higher tax !
rate, and meanwhile are happy in the
contemplation of its profits and will
doubtless testify enthusiastically to the
benefits of municipal ownership.
From the above we may deduce the
following rule for showing a profit:
First, omit all items of expense that
can without too much danger of de-
tection be saddled upon the general
tax list or other departments; second,
charge in as vague a way as possible
to new construction as many items of I
maintenance as may be necessary to
show a large profit. (N. B.—The profit
must be large to provide for the con-
tingency of some carping critic discov-
ering one or more of the concealed
items of expense and ruthlessly draw-

Excellent Argument for Belong**
ing to Organized Labor.
This question is answered in a
forcible manner by W. P. Hicks
of North Carolina, state organizer
for the Amalgamated Wood
Workers, in the Steam Fitters’
Journal:
First — Because I propose to
protest against any man or set of
men stealing my right to health,
home and happiness.
Second—Because I want plenty
of good food in my craw along
with the sand that is there, and I
want to see my fellow man have
the same blessing.
Third—Because I am not afraid
to line up with my fellowworkers
and make an honest demand for
that which is our heritage.
Fourth—Because I am opposed
to filth and ignorance and in fa-
vor of health and knowledge.
Fifth—Because I think more of
an honest heart under a ragged
shirt than I do of a block-headed
individual with a bank account.
Sixth—Because a union man is
never disrespected by anyone ex-
cept a lot of red-eved, money-
grabbing individuals with more
money than kindness.
Seventh—Because when I pay
my dues into the union I feel that
I am stirring some thickening
