HE engineer in charge of the Contra Costa Water Company in Alameda County has intro- duced a novelty in the history of his office by entering upon a discussion of the water question that is not addressed to a City Council or Board of Supervisors. In this discussion he acquits himself with every appearance of impartiality. He considered three plans for the control of a water supply—firsl_. by unrestricted private ownership; second, by private ownership under public control; third, by municipal ownership. Unrestricted private ownership is not permitted by law, and this leaves two plans, private ownership under | | public control, and municipal ownership. At lhis; | point he makes a suggestion that is in line with a| contention often made by The Call to the effect that many difficulties would be overcome and misunder- standings eliminated if the constitution enforced the | auditing of water accounts by the State. | 1f there were a system of uniform public accoum-! ing, extended to all public service corporations, and of necessity including the value of plants as a factor | in considering and fixing the rate and income, the long and vexatious, and always imperfect, exam- ination of those questions by Supervisors and City | Councils would disappear. It would then be easily practicable to test the relative merits of public and priyate ownership as to cost by an infallible basis of calculation, and the admitted evil of corruption in | local politics would exist no longer. Massachusetts has this system in operation as to the lighting plants of the State, and it is there possible to exactly com- | pare the cost of public lighting under private and | public ownership. That such comparison gives results that do not { justify the rosy anticipations of the advocates of pub- lic ownership has nothing to do with the case. Pub- lic control of private plants can be so exerted as to | | equalize cost where conditions are equal. If, for il-| | lustrati it be found that two cities, under equal | conditions as to the expense of plant and adminis- !lra!mn_ re found to pay an unequal price for light| | the common system of accounts makes it possible to | compel equalization of price without incurring the | | accusation of injustice. < ich a system is especially necessary in order to administer a water system. Physical conditions dif- fer so widely as to peculiarly affect the cost of such a supply. Plants in a country of constant, regular and | abundant rainiall, like that of Glasgow, are incompar- able with plants under California conditions, with a| definite wet and dry season and with the constant | recurrence of rainfall less than normal, requiring | immense storage and extra attention to the physical condition of the supply. In order to secure equality of control and to prop- erly differentiate the price of a supply according to gineer advocated State control, auditing and account- ing, and private ownership under exclusive State jurisdiction. Against this is set the municipal owr ership of all water supplies. But even if that be gen- erally entered upon the need of a uniform system of of the State, instead of being removed, is made greater. As our readers are already informed, the system of water accounts in such vast municipal systems as New York and Chicago is so inyolyed, complex and | defectiye that expert accountants, employed by civic associations, have been unable out of the chaos to find anything further than evidence of extravagance, cor- ruption and in administration, | amounting to a sum annually greater than corporate | profit would be in the working of an equal system. This being the case, in order to approximate ex pected results from municipal ownership this waste | must, if possible, be eliminated. If this cannot-be done, there is no preference for public ownership. Uniform accounting is the only means by which it may be hoped that waste can be prevented. The op- position to this, wherever it has taken definite shape, | comes from the advocates of municipal ownership. Just why this should be so it is hard to determine The only reason that may be suggested is that the movement for municipal ownership is thus far largely under the control of organized Socialism and is there- | fore political in its nature, and does not get its in- spiration from strictly business principles. waste municipal o Seattle than New York has to In { the growth of Seattle or growth of any other Pacific port, y as the growth of population and wealth along the Atlantic Coast has to New York.

Rivalry in that regard is now going on among all the great ports of the world. The British are arranging to expend many millions of pounds sterling in improving the docks and the river at London, and they are also discussing the advisability of abolishing all port charges upon foreign shipping. If the greatest commercial city in the world is forced to take such steps to conserve her trade, we may be sure San Francisco cannot advance and increase her commerce without following the ex- ample. There is no need for the adoption of a compre- hensive system of changes in freight rates or port charges or for harbor improvement. - Issues of that kind can be dealt with most effectively by taking up each as it rises in the practical affairs of trade. The main thing is to rouse public sentiment on the sub- ject and set to work the minds and the energies of those who are in control. When once that has been done, improvements will be effected as they are called for. Mr. Hill's aggressive fight for the army trans- port business promises to serve as a stimulus to both the railways and the city, and in that respect we may welcome it as a benefit. 1 irance, however, terests we much more tk ——— An Italian Marquis has landed in New York with no other worldly recommendation than his as- tounding assurance and has advertised himself as ready to marry an American heiress.

S —— Here is a postoffice story from Ohio: On one of the rural delivery routes complaint was made of a | loss of mail. There was a long investigation, which | resulted at last in the discovery of the missing let- ters scattered about in a distant field. Further search revealed the fact that a jaybird had made a nest {in a mail box, and when letters were dropped into it 1 it would take them out and fly off with them to some distance and theh drop them, un- THE FRANCHISE DECISION. HE Supreme Court, in its decision on the Ala- bama franchise case, in effect affirms-the action of the Circuit Court in refusing to take juris- diction. The Supreme Court could not take original jurisdiction and could only have ordered the court below to do so. The important gart of the decision is rather in the dictum to the effect that the ques- tion is political and must go to the political rather than the judicial branch of the Government. This means that Congress must construe the effect of the Alabama constitution upon the' apportionment for representation in the Electoral College and in Con- gress. The constitution provides that when a State ex- cludes from suffrage any of its people on account of race, color or previous condition of servitude its rep- resentation shall be reduced according to the popu- lation so excluded.. There seemed reason for believ- ng that whether the exclusion provided by the Ala- | nor any FRANCISCO CALL, THURSEDAY, Ibama constitution was for the reason specified in the Federal constitution s a judicial issue purely. But the court decides that the issue presented is political, and the court avoids always the determination of purely political questions. Soon or late, therefore, the issue is sure to be made in Congress. Mr. Moody, now Secretary of the Navy, while representing Massachusetts in the House, raised the issue. Aifter his promotion to the Cabinet it was renewed by Mr. Crumpacker of Indiana, but was | permitted to drop without action. Of necessity it is a sectional issue, and there is gen- eral aversion to the renewal of sectional controversy. However, it is a question of imperative interest to the Northern States. They have their rights under the’ constitution, and the gravest of these is the right to cquality of representation. Either the constitutional provision to secure this equality will be amended out of the instrument or it will be enforced, fog, it is not thinkable that, if these peculiar provisions in the constitutions of the Southern States violate it, it will be permitted to lie dormant. Of course, it is 'easily possible that Congress, ad- justing it as a political question, may decide that the State constitutions do not violate the Federal con- stitution. ' The question cannot well arise until aiter the next census, which must be followed by a new apportionment. As that census is seven years away, there is time for much to happen meanwhile which may obsolete the whole issue. In this view the de- cision of the Supreme Court puts the issue in repose, and is likely best for the interests of the country, which require sectional peace and quiet. According to a recent statement of the banks of the city of New York, compiled for members of the Clearing-house Association, the net profits of the forty-two banks enumerated increased from $105,- 880,000 to $110,830,300 during the two months pre- vious. As the capital was reported at $100,850,000, the net profits amounted to about 5 per cent for the two months, or about 30 per cent per annum. Evi- dently the banking business is good in the big city, and there is no reason why a banker should do kow- tow to a steel trust magnate. W ment a few days ago that the Birmingham Chamber of Commerce had adopted reso- lutions opposing a British exhibit at the St. Louis Exposition it was believed the action represented merely a local sentiment and was of no great signifi- cance. It now appears, however, that the extent of Brit- ish opposition to the enterprise may be much greater than was supposed, for the Prince of Wales, who is president of the British commission to the exposition, has deemcd it necessary to make an urgent appeal to Chambers of Commerce throughout the kingdom for support. While he would have made such an ap- peal under any circumstances, it is not likely he would THE ST. LOUIS FAIR. HEN the dispatches brought the announce- -have made so elaborate an argument on the subject had he not felt that ke has a spirit of opposition to | overcome. In the course of his address the Prince frankly rec- ognized the existence of an opposition and said: | “The idea is sometimes put forward that it is not much use for British manufacturers to exhibit in the United States, as the high customs tariff of that country tends to militate against the sale of British products. It should, however, be remembered that there is a considerable market for high-class goods in the United" States, and that the exposition will afford an_opportunity for showing ,our manufactures to customers from South America, Canada and other countries.” While the argument may not be convincing to the | opposition, the address will undoubtedly have the ei- fect of stimulating British interest in the fair. Royalty has more than one kind of influence Great Britain, and wherever the Prince of Wales leads the way we may be sure there will be no lack of followers ack of money. A first-class British exhibit may therefore be counted on, and Birmingham will send her products with the rest. Upward of $150,000 has been already appropriated by Parliament for the work "of the commission, and the Prince intimates that more may be expected provided the merchants and manufacturers ta up the work in earnest and resolve to make a comprchensive display of the in- dustries of the kingdom. It is gratifying to find that the irritation of British manufacturers at our protective system is not going to mar the international aspect of the fair. The ex- position has been planned on a vaster scale than any | of its predecessors, and in point of magnitude will un- | questionably far exceed the greatest of them. More- over, so rapid is the advance of science and mechan- ical ingenuity in these days it will be able to present in | industrial arts and products never before displayed | at a world’s fair. As it is the first exposition of the kind for the new century, it would be a disappoint- ment to all should any great people be unrepresented in the grand collection of its exhibits, The United States has invited all the world to share in the enter- prise, and the desire of course is that each should do its share with cordiality and even with enthusiasm. It is, of course, not to be expected that Europe will look at the fair from the same point of view as our- selves. To the people of the Old World it is nothing more than another international exhibition, while to us it is a celebration of the acquirement of the Louisi- ana territory, the extension of the boundaries of the republic from the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean, and the settlement of that vast area by an energetic peo- ple, who have made it one of the richest portions of | the globe, abounding with flourishing cities and laced | with a network of railways that have brought almost every square mile of it within easy reach of settlers and markets, It is a striking proof of the wealth of the territory that the exposition which is to be held in celebration of its acquirement will cost nearly three times as much as the sum paid for it when bought from France. The city in which the fair is to be held was but a re- mote trading post at the time of annexation, but is now more populous than all American cities put to- gether at that time. Such evidences gf growth on the part of the republic are to Americans the most significant features of the fair, and so notable are they that even if all European nations should give halting aid to the enterprise the American people thermselves would make it a record-breaking exposition, and glory in doing it. The grave-diggers of Montreal went on strike a few days ago, but no one has recognized in the affaif a conspiracy to keep people alive. We are so accus- tomed to inconveniences these days that most of us are willing to wait until the grave attendants are ready to receive us. The absolute inability, ‘even of nature, to prevent things American from moving was demonstrated the other day when an island in Lake Garfield aroused it- self to activity and floated away to a distance of half o Thile: o L R .
