"SERVICE AT COST" MISNOMER.
JR
Periodically some well meaning
P".im or orgai. nation suggei.ls that

All public service compai.'os such
as electric lig'ht end power, ti lephone.
gas and railroad compati.es are today
sjhject to public regulation of a ,n ist
strict nature. Their earnings are lim
ited by law to a very modest per
centage vn their inves; ment.. The
cost of service is the rate which pub
lic regulation permits the con. pan:
to charge.

tails heavier taxes for nioiv puhlu
employes, and the taxes which the
private enterprise would have paid
which the public plant does not pay
must be added to the taxes of the
"general taxpayer" who may never
have a chance to use the public owned
..property for which he is taxed.

WOMAN'S (1.1 II WILL MEET.
Mesdames Charles U. Millc and
t'iiailes R. Thoma: will be joint hos
tesses to the Woman's Club at tho
home of the former Thursday after-
far j noon, March. 18, at !::. The meet
ing was postponed from the Hth on
account of Galli-Curcis appearance in
Asheville.
J merit took over the railroads, and
operated them until March 1, 1920.
The loss to the taxpayers was over
$1,160,000,000. Today, under privato
ownership, the railroads are paying
some $350,000,000 a year in taxes,
and losses arc met by the stockhold
ers not the taxpayers.
Public regulation of public utilities
has never been a success public
ownership can show nothing but a
record of failure.
"Service at cost" is a misnomer
it should be designated as "service
!; J with part of the cost borne by the
i ? taxpayer."

A TRIBUTE.
The members of the Woman's Aux.
ilia ty of Grace Episcopal church,
Waynesville, feel with deep sorrow
the passing of Mrs. Mary opraguo
Mcintosh. She was one of the origi
nal members of the Auxiliary which j
was organized in 1S87, end during
her residence here was active in all
work relating to the church. She j
sang in the choir, was president of the,
altar guild and at times was organist.
While not a member of this parish
at the time of her death, she never
lost interest in Grace church.
She was a mother to those who.
needed a mother's love, a devoted
wife in every sense of the word and
her lovely Christian character was
an example of the perfect church woi
man.
To the bereaved husband, nieces
and nephews we extend our hearfelt
sympathy in their great loss. Know
ing full well that God In His Infinite
wisdom doeth all things well and
will comfort them in this hour of
sadness,
MISS ROBIK'A MILLER,
