ORANGE OBJECTS TO HIGHER RATES CITY REFUSES TO PAY SURCHARGE DEMANDED BY SOUTHERN CAL. EDISON CO. ATTORNEY DECLARES RAILROAD COMMISSION HAS NO AUTHORITY TO ABROGATE CONTRACT Declaring that he questions the right of the railroad commission to abrogate contracts between municipalities and public utilities, and that present conditions are a stimulus to municipal ownership of utilities, W. R. Garrett, city attorney of Orange, has advised the city council of that city not to pay the surcharges of the Edison company now being imposed on a contract that was entered into some years ago. He brought out the point that the promiscuous raising of rates on municipalities for public corporation service embarrasses such municipalities financially. When the budgets are made up they are made to raise funds based on existing contracts. The increases amount to a great deal in the aggregate and are not provided for in the budget. The attorney also suggests that effort be made to pass legislation that will take away the right of the commission, if it has it now, to abrogate such contracts. The power of the commission to raise the rates in face of contracts was questioned by Grant some relief, for instance, a more ample review in the state courts, though a proper measure of relief can in all probability only be secured by a constitutional amendment. "In the meantime the people are getting restless under present conditions, and a stimulus is being given to municipal ownership of all public utilities." WOMEN OF WEST AGAIN CALLED TO THE COLORS By MR8. A. S. BALDWIN, Chairman Woman's Liberty Loan Committee of the Twelfth Reserve District. We have at the present time about two million men in Europe who must be provided with all that is necessary to keep them in good spirits and condition; and when their work shall have been finished, they must be brought home and demobilized. The Government must make good the contracts it has entered into for the construction of all war munitions, and for food supplies already bought. Having responded to the Government's calls in the past, and having loaned our money ungrudgingly to hurry forward the men and supplies, and victory having come to us because BUDGET NESS B by the city of Los Angeles equitable division all license money owners.

When the budgets are made up they are made to raise funds based on existing contracts. The increases amount to a great deal in the aggregate and are not provided for in the budget. The attorney also suggests that effort be made to pass legislation that will take away the right of the commission, if it has it now, to abrogate such contracts. The power of the commission to raise the rates in face of contracts was questioned by Garrett at the time of the hearing here on the petition of the Southern Counties Gas Company for permission to increase rates. "I had entered in the official record, at the hearing had a year or so ago upon the application of the gas company for authority to increase its rates, my objection to the power of the Railroad Commission to abrogate a written contract made between our city and the Gas Company a year or more prior to the filing of the application," said Garrett. "The contract in question was induced by the Gas Company; its own proposition was accepted, and at the city water plant we discarded at some expense, our oil burning apparatus to use natural gas in order to receive the benefit of the contract. "The Commission on the hearing overruled my objection and took the position that the Railroad Commission possessed power to set aside such a contract at least as to the rates prescribed therein. The citizens of Orange therefore must pay each month approximately $115.00 additional for gas at the water plant in excess of the amount called for by our previous agreement had with the Gas Company. "Again, about three years ago the city contracted with the Edison people as to current for street lighting, including upkeep. The rates were fixed and the contract called for greater candle power and more lights than were provided for under previous agreement. After several years of service, apparently quite satisfactory to all concerned and while the contract is still in force, the light company secures from the R. R. Commission an order materially increasing the amount to be paid by the city for current for our street lights under this same contract. This last month the increase (surcharge) amounts to about $26.00, so in a year the amount involved will be considerable. In brief, Orange must abide by its written contract with the light company; it must use the number of lights pre- MR8. A. S. BALDWIN of this, shall we hesitate for a moment to respond to the last call—the Victory Liberty Loan—when we can do so by pledging our credit, perhaps with some little personal inconvenience, sacrifice or small discomfort? The blood of the young manhood of America is not now required. That was generously given before the armistice was signed, and now we may give thanks that no more will be taken. The credit and good faith of our country is at stake. We have won the war, and the cost is small compared with what has been won. The men of the West with red blood in their veins will not need to be appealed to, because they will subscribe to this last call of the Government as ungrudgingly as they did in the past. There are others, however, who may not be so keenly and conscientiously alive to the duty of responding to the Nation's call, and it is to those that the women must direct their most untiring efforts. This last call is truly a Victory Loan. What greater pride can men and women experience than in contributing to it? A Victory Bond will be worth more than its price expressed in dollars. Every one will be a badge testifying that the holder has helped his country to fulfill its pledge to those who have been spared as well as those who have made the supreme sacrifice.

But Uncle Sam received $96,000 last year as the price of the wild-animal skins he had taken during the year as a by-product of just one phase of his agricultural operations—the war against predatory animals on the range land of the West. The killing of the animals from which the skins were taken will result in the saving of millions of dollars' worth of live stock to the sheep and cattle men of the range country. The predatory-animal extermination work is done by tech Bureau of Biological Survey of the Department of Agriculture. Expert hunters and trappers are employed. The skins of all the animals they capture or kill must be sold and the money turned into the United States Treasury. Nor are the hunters or trappers permitted to accept bounties. But there is not the same temptation in that respect that there used to be, for since the Government hunters and trappers have been "on the job" their work has been so obviously successful that the States either already have done away with the old bounty system or are planning to do so. The money formerly paid out in bounties is being appropriated in many States for co-operative work with the Department of Agriculture, with manyfold better results as to number of predatory animals destroyed. BUDGET OF BUSINESS BY BUSY BODY (Continued from Page 1) by the city of Los Angeles, calling for an equitable division among cities of all license moneys received from auto owners. It is expected that the present legislature will pass the bill. The board ordered that the sum of $100 per month be paid John Rockwell for upkeep of the sewerage farm. Mr. Rockwell uses his own tractor and other equipment and has the place in fine shape. Mayor Dwyer observed that the 10 acres of sandy land recently purchased by the city is in a very thrifty condition by use of the effluent flow from the septic tanks. His honor said it would be a shame to waste this water as it is the finest kind of fertilizer and coming from the tanks in a more or less purified condition makes its utilization much sought after by orchardists. A communication was received from Charles T. Leeds regarding a hearing about some nautical engineering down Newport way, which was ordered filed. A new fire policy written by Fred Rimpau was received and ordered filed. Vard Hannum submitted figures on repairing of the asbestos roof at the power house. The laying of the roof originally was faulty and recently many leaks occurred. Bert Kuebler will repair it for 10 cents per square foot and in all probability the work will be ordered as the rainy season will soon be over and repairing will then not be needed. City Clerk Merritt was instructed to hand out some posters, received from the federal authorities, to all persons applying for building permits. The printed matter is issued in the endeavor to encourage structural activities. It is a commendable idea and the aim of the government is now to speed up all legitimate enterprises tending to give employment to the returning lads who went overseas unfinally when Uncle Sam called them. Superintendent of Street Steward made an earnest plea to the board to take some action relative to repairing broken sidewalks and especially those parts where the walks have buckled up. These are dangerous. The legal department informed the board that the city is not liable for damages resulting from accidents to pedestrians, but that the street superintendent is liable for damages should some one bowl over and hurt himself while perambulating along the broken bumps. Mr. Steward was given permission to repair all walks needing repair while the councilmen cogitated upon how made it so plain to the council that the fire boys could not get along without it, the trustees voted unanimously to purchase the twister.

The warrant was turned over to the clerk with instructions to give it the blue pencil. The committeemen, however, believing that Horace has been to some expense in buying stamps and stationery and other incidentals, announced that they would look up that urbane wheelhorse and ascertain just what financial outlay he had negotiated and reimburse him for their share of the fireworks. Ah, there, Horace, old top! Dick Fischle, new chief of the fire department, appeared asking for permission to buy another patented fire plug wrench. The one he had was so good he wanted another and Dick Mr. Alexander, president of the U. B. Co., sent in a communication, stating that he had in stock 600 barrels of beer which he had been unable to dispose of owing to the suddenness with which the recent bone-dryness took effect here. Mr. Alexander asked for broken sidewalks and especially those parts where the walks have buckled up. These are dangerous.

LYNCH URGES WEST TO LAST BIG LOAN DRIVE To the Citizens of the Twelfth Federal Reserve District: The Fifth "Victory" Liberty Loan is in sight. Let us thank God that it is not just the Fifth Loan. Victory means the end of the war, the end of loans, the dawn of peace and prosperity. It means that the market price of government bonds will soon stabilize at par or better. It also means that commercial, agricultural, and industrial affairs will stabilize, and that the Hun-inspired clamor will cease. We were advised that the war would last through 1919, probably through 1920, so we were prepared for that; to have done less would have been suicide. We prepared to crush the Hun on his own ground, and he prudently quit. It cost us some money but it saved the lives of half a million of our men. Was money ever better spent? Now we have bills to pay, promises to make good, our men to bring home. This will take from five to six billion dollars. Let us get ready and raise it. A big task, but the last, and therefore easy. All together, shoulder to shoulder, and the loan goes over! The "Ninety-first" is the Pacific Coast Division; remember their achievement, and honor ourselves by living up to it. JAMES K. LYNCH, Governor, Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco; Chairman, Liberty Loan General Executive Board, Twelfth Federal Reserve District. RESERVE BANKS EARN 72 PER CT. Washington, Feb. 12.—As a result of war activities the twelve reserve banks of the county had net earnings of 72.6 per cent on their capital during the year just closed, according to the annual report of the federal reserve board, sumbitted to Congress recently. The net earnings totaled $55,446,979, or just ten times the dividends paid to member banks in the system which holds all of the stock. Of the net earnings $21,605,901 was transferred to surplus and $26,728,440 was set aside to pay the franchise tax. The franchise tax money goes to the government as its share of the profits. The large earnings were due, it is explained, largely to the huge issue of currency to meet the war demands and to the fact that discount rates had to be maintained to support government financing; As a result of the large earnings it is possible that the rates will be lowered as soon as treasury requirements return to normal, after the next loan. Each of the reserve banks of the country is to have ample commodious quarters under the policy of the board. Many of them have acquired sites for buildings. The Richmond bank has bought a site to build on. The Atlanta bank has a new home. The Chicago bank has purchased a site. The St. Louis bank contemplates the purchase of a building. The Kansas City and Dallas banks have purchased sites, as has the San Francisco bank. The Minneapolis and Cleveland banks are expected to buy sites. The report reviews the war financing, the steadying of foreign exchange The "Ninety-first" is the Pacific Coast Division; remember their achievement, and honor ourselves by living up to it. James K.

It has also proven a further stimulus toward stimulating loyalty and fidelity among the employees and inducing economy in operations. The distribution this week was on the basis of time service. Those who had been in the company's service five years or over received 12 per cent of their wages or salary during the year 1918; those in service four years and less than five years received 11 per cent; those in service more than three years and less than four years received 10 per cent; those in service between two and three years received seven and a half per cent, while the men employed for from one to two years received five per cent. The distribution this year represents the largest amount since the inception of the plan. In 1916 $160,000 was distributed among 1,600 employees. In 1917 the sum of $202,000 was divided among 1,000 employees. This year the total amount distributed, the number of employees participating and the percentage are all larger than either of the previous years.
