EDISO NENJOYS GREAT MONOPOLY BY CITY MANAGER J. W. PRICE The position of the Edison Co. in this field is an enviable one. It has furnished a necessity, without competition, and this commodity has been partly responsible for the wonderful expansion and development of So. Calif. Some of the plants and transmission lines are the pioneers of the electrical industries of this country. But what is the cause for all of this pioneering and heavy outlay of capital? What is the attraction? The answer is: The profit on the investment and the development of the field for a larger demand for the commodity, making a fruitful field for the investment, and capital has, and always will be, searching for the most profitable investment. The Edison Co. is a large corporation without competition in this field. The only restriction is placed by the Railway Commission, which has power to make rates and govern generally. But what has happened under adverse conditions this year? The company was allowed, or did, reconstruct old plants at heavy cost and made application to the railway commission for a raise in rates to offset this expense. Most of the desired increase was denied but it cost the city of Anaheim $75 as its share of the expense to present its case before the Railway Commission. The company is now constructing a steam plant at Long Beach and the construction is on a cost plus just for a moment refer to our wartime contracts of a cost plus basis—look at the results of the investigation revealed in the way of heavy cost. A municipality can not follow such plans. But some one has to pay for all of this and there is only one way, and that is by the sale of their commodity. Also, we notice from time to time that Edison stock is on the market offering 8 per cent on the investment. This is Edison's effort to make every user an owner in Edison Co. As we are shareholders in our own community, why pay an amount on this commodity that will enable Edison to pay 8 per cent when your own municipality can secure money for 4½ or 5 per cent without increasing the cost of the commodity wholesale or retail and with a possibility of reducing the cost! Why not establish an industry in Anaheim that will be an incentive for other industries to locate here when the conditions are such that the above industry will not raise taxes? It will also make our fire-fighting ability more reliable by having a duplicate unit in our powerhouse and not dependent on the long transmission lines; it will also take care of us in conditions like the recent shortage we just passed through. CHARGES DESERTION Valcom Steen, her husband, not only deserted her last July, but he failed to make provision for their livelihood, Mrs. Alva Steen alleged in a suit filed in superior court at Santa Ana today, in which she said she faced the problem of supporting a 17-year-old daughter. She asked a decree of divorce and custody of the girl. AGED MOTHER PASSES Mrs. Martha Hood, 75, mother of Mrs. Rose Metcalf, of Melrose, died Wednesday night at the home of her daughter. The body was taken to Inglewood where funeral services will be held tomorrow at the home of a brother: "JOHN D." WORE OUT HIS HAIR TARRYTOWN, N. Y., Oct. John D.

This expert believes the budget to be the only road to thrift whether one spends $10 a week or a thousand. The right state of mind is essential, she says, a sane estimate of values. "The woman whose heart is eaten up with a desire for mere things will bankrupt (the richest husband in the world). She is unhappy when she sees her neighbor put up a new window drapery. No peace in that house until she does the same thing, whether she needs or can afford it. Then she sits back until some other desire comes to eat away her peace of mind. Women of this type are very common, you can find them in any block, in any place. The thing to do if your conscience tells you are this woman in whole or in part is to stop. Start today to learn to spend wisely and to save. A Class Ad is best little salesman.

ROME—The next consistory will be held in Dec. it was learned at the Vatican today. Monsignor Cervetti, papal nuncio to France, and a Spanish bishop, are expected to get the red hat of the cardinalate. No Americans will be elevated. BERLIN—A hundred and fifty American railway officials arrived today to study the German railway system. Tonight they will be guests at a dinner at the Hotel Esplanade owned by the estate of Hugo Stinnes. AREN'T FOLKS FUNNY? Mrs. Brown thinks Mrs. Smith is "old-fashioned." She's right—for Mrs. Smith insists on baking her own bread. "She could get good bread at the bakery and save all that time and work," says Mrs. Brown. And then Mrs. Brown turns right around and does her own washing—and she could "get good washing" from the laundry and "save all that time and work." Aren't folks funny?
