It is clearly indicated that the thought of those backing this elective commission idea is that if the commissioners were elected to office they would be “afraid” to increase rates for fear of losing votes. This is rotten, cowardly and dishonest theory. It has been repudiated in many states where political hypocrites have tried to mz ke capital out of honest decisions which public utility commissions have made after r wing the facts, even though such decisions might be temporary unpopular. The Springfield Union says: “In creating a Publie Utili- ties Commission, it was the conception that this body s' haye all the impartial attributes ascribed to our judi pected that it would exercise the two-fold function of protecting the public against extortion and the utility inst an unreasonable attitude on the part of the publig. ie strength of the commission has been’ in its independence nd its freedom from either corporate or political control. it has not hesitated to incur the displeasure of vested interests ou the one hand or popular prejudices on the other. Its mem- bers have been appointed for their fitness and their disinter- estedness.” To restrict the normal growth of the telephone s stem by refusing to countenance adequate rates would be olf the community nose to spite the community face. To Obey, Or Not to Obey “Obey in the marriage ceremony means obey and it can not be interpreted otherwise. Marriage is a partnership of equals for mutual help and sery The marriage service should be taken seriously in all its parts and as a whole. It is not a matter of master and servant, is clearly implied with the word ‘obey’ in the serv ‘That may have been the idea of marriage once but not now,” says Bishop Charles P. Anderson of the Episcopal diocese of Ghicago. On the other hand Bishop Irving Peak Johnson of Colorado, who is against revision of the marriage ceremony declares that “the idea that the word obey connotes servility is the heresy of modern par- ents and the schism of modern familit If women do not love men enotgh to accept their leadership, which is the sig- nificance of the word to obey, they will not love them any more because their vanity is flattered by the omission Slavery to Fashion One of the complaints heard against the women of tod: has reference to the lengths to which many of them go in obedience to fashion’s commands as to what they shall put on—or, perhaps more accurately, what they shall leave off. A. missionary from the Belgian Congo, returning to Americ after twelve years’ absence, noted recently the provocatiy character of the “get up” of American women. He stated that in this matter, as well as in that of dancing, the African blacks were preferable to the ultra-modern girls of America. Granted that such criticism applies only to a smlall section, the fact remains that both sexes are s d by the current modes which prevail in dress and appearance. Occasionally such fashions do not represent thé acme either of form or suitability. A glance into the family photograph album will impress anyone with the fact, that not only do fashions change, but that soc iety is largely imitative. What is true of dress is true of customs. A generation ago the more agile pranced around a ping-pong table. Today nothing but the shufflings and contortions of the modern dance will satisfy, Once a guiet evening at whist with the intimate conve tion of a few old friends brought its full meed of enjoyment, Noth ing now seems to satisfy but auction bridge all the afternoon, with stakes to add interest to the game. It must not be con cluded that all who convinced that they a to ascer follow these more modern customs are re better than the old. If it were possible 1in the truth it might be found that a considerable number, even among the younger generation, would welcome, like their seniors, a return of more sedate and safer forms of entertainment. So strong, however, do people accept Few people ever fashion.” is the force of fashion, and so blindly its rulings, that a surrender is made to it, care to be “behind the times” and “out of Surtaxes and Exempts Income tax reports show that many of our wealtiest peo: ple pay little or nothing to the goverenment, That is because in a majority of instances, the income is derived from invest ments in\tax exempt securities, such as those issned by states, unties, districts and cities, which cannot be taxed without constitutional amendment. There are from twelve to fifteen billions of such securities issue mostly in the hands of wealthy people These securities bear Jower interest than industrial or other investments, but ma iy times the loss in interest is saved in income taxation, which through surtaxes, takes as high as half the income, As a consequence, capital that should be in vested in industry and development is withdrawn for exempt securities, In this way a high surtax defeats its purpose for the government is by it, losing the revenue it would otherwise have which reduce ta ion, The direct effect of cinching the rich has been to scatter and conceal wealth, which the result that there are fewer big taxpayers, each year, despite the increase he treasury’s po is to diminish the surtax to such an extent that it will assist business deyelopm: tracting capital from the exempt securities, An ¢ income tax does not hit the idle rich, who eseape via the ex empts, but industry and development which already, bearing most of the property and personal tax ubly penalized not only in taxation, but in obtaining ne essary capital, ys to newspapermen, “I hayen’t a word id it.” a place Colonel Mitchell s¢ to say.

Words of caution are pertinent. ‘The rush to Florida is accompanied by the inevitable rise in property values, with the specula- tion that goes with such movement, and of course with the dangers that are inherent in a situation such as this. Ultimately values will be sta- bilized. Wlorida will settle dgwn in its new and greater position among the States of the Union. If there is then less of the get-rich-quick ele- ment in its life, there ought to be a@ vast deal of enduring prosperity,” en Drawing the Line No greater piece of cons legislation has been passed in cent years than the existing immi!-, re- gration law. It restricts an influx of allens which was threatening in its volume the {deals and stand- ards of American life. One of the most admirable features of this law fs the provision for usion or deportation of aliens who preach the overthrow of our government by violence. Under this provision of the law Secretary of State Kellogg and Sec- retary of Labor Davis have refused admission to the United States of Saklatvala, British communist del gate to the Interparliamentary Congress soon to convene in the capitol at Washington. .

England is eating the bitter fruit of that policy in a- situation which menaces t he stability of the British government, and is taking belated measures to exclude bolshe- vist apostles of treason and vio- lence. ‘Phe line is now being sharply drawn between the defenders and the assailants of American institu, tions. ‘There is no middle ground? Apologists and defenders of bolshe vism, no matter what their affec- tation of motive must be classified by the patriotic people of America with those enemies of the United States for whom they betray their sympathy.

Not “Freeze-Out” Game There haa been a prevalent {den that big stockholders like to “freeze” Uttlé stockholders out of a corpora- tion and thus gain control. This is a mistaken idea, when applied to the n well managed public service company. Take for an example, Mr. Clerk in ® grocery store, who owns $100 worth of stock in the North Amert- ean company which shows a prop- erty value of some $300,000,000. He may figure that President Frank L. — eee child’ who in God's own arms made “PHILLIPS” MILK OF MAGNESIA “Phillip Accept only genuine the original Milk of Magnesia pre- seribed by physictans for 60 years as an antacid, laxative, corrective. 25-cent bottles, also 60-cent bo Ues, contain directions—any drug store.—Adv.

Phone—Office 2208 Res..1715W still | Dame is unconcerned whether he Sells his stock or not. Such is not the case. Mr. Dame wants to know why each share is sold so that he can tell whether there dissatisfaction with the company management. He says: “Financial circles are notorious for gossip, Let dissatisfaction occur in the stockholders’ mind, and he expresses himself, forcibly. He does it by selling his stock. A sale does not necessarily mean a stockholder’s vote against the management. And yet, any sale might be exactly that.” It is physically impossible for the officers of a large holding company like the North Amertean to meet any considerable number of its 25,- 090 stockholders and give them a first hand impression of the quality of the service or management of the company, Therefore, in addi- tion to sending new stockholders a letter of greeting when they become members of the North American family, Mr. Dame sends every stockholder who sells his stock a personal letter and a questionnaire seeking to iind out the reason for the sale, if it is for other than pure- ly personal reasons. The result has been astounding. Dorty-seven per cent of ex-stock- Lolders reply at once. Numerous misunderstandings have heen straightened out, and the question- naire has brougkt many new stock- holders straight back into the North American family. It is reassuring to a stockholder to know that officials in “his ¢om- pany are not only interested in sell- ing him stock to secure development of the property, but are further in- terested in retaining him as a stock- holder by giving such a satisfac- tory management that he will wish to sell his holdings. When Mr. Clerk in the grocery store gets a personal letter from Mr. Dame about the sale of his $100 investment in the North American company, he feels that the manage- ment considers him as more than a source of revenue. In asking for his support by showing that his funds have been hamiled in a ocred- ible manner, he has been made a “partner in fact” in the undertak- ing. a Alarms During the last dozen y we have had something of of what may aptly be termed the literature of alarm, some of it, no doubt, true, but much of {t greatly exaggerated —exaggerated to the point of romanticism. We have been told that the Nordics had passed or were passing, which would be a terrible thing if the Nordics were all that their admirers claimed for them, and other stocks as worthless as they are held to be by the Nordic worshipers, Again wo all got the shivera when we were assured that, ars Or 80 flood The very things that make you say, “There’s a lot to Mr. So-and-So,” make you say unless something was done about it, the non-white races would at no dis. tant day submerge the world, These alarms, and others llke them, have a certain anatomy that would provide an interesting study. Men get hold of an idea or theory which seems plausible and interest- ing, and then they hunt up evidence to support it, and, quite honestly, overlook all evidence that makes for the other side, It is not a difficult matter for them to popularize a scare—for people rather enjoy being scared—and the ordinary reader as- Sumes that the alarmist writers are authorities on .the subjects with which they deal, as they may or may not be. Such books, of course, do little harm, for no one is really frightened, though some may be for the moment greatly impressed. It is, too, often the case that there is some basis for apprehension, and thus people are put on their guard.
