This in- crease of earnings, he said, is due to the pros- perous conditions that prevail in Canada. He predicted that this is Canada’s century. He also said that Prince Rupert has about settled her problems and that she has nothing more to do except grow. He declared that she would do that, and predicted that more and more wheat would move through that town as the years come. PERSONNEL OF COURT WHICH REFUSED NEW TRIAL. The five Justices of the Massachusetts Su- preme Court who, ithout dissention, refused to allow Sacco and Vanzetti a new trial rep- resent practically every secion of Massachusetts, all strata of society, both political parties and four different churches. They have had wide and diverse experiences in life and many years of distinguished judicial services. Two of the members of the court, Chief Justice Rugg, who _ is ill, and Justice Crosby, who is spending his wacation in Europe, did not sit on the case. Politically three of the Justices, who sat on Religiously, one is a Catholic, one an Episco- © palian, ome a Congregationalist and two are purchased the Territory yet we get a $750 monument to be placed where the | Alaska transfer was made in 1867, derful monument in the world. an for its price than any other Unitarians. .

What the consumer is interested in is whether he is getting any bene- fits out of the decreased cost of production. And here it develops that the chief obstacle to a lowering of utility charges is the relatively hijh cost of distribution. b ol In the course of the discussion of the prob- able future course of the movement toward amal- gamation of public utility companies, particularly those supplying electric light and power, into a few great combinations, it has been claimed that the result of these mergers would be a de- crease in costs. Assuming this to be the case, it by no means follows that the consumers would pay lower charges. By far the larger part of the average bill for light or power represents distribution costs. Thus it is stated, for instance, that of the charge by a leading electric light company of the East of eight cents per kilowatt hour, one 'cent represented the cost of produc- ing the electricity and the other seven cents rep- resented the cost of distribution. From which it would appear that the real problem of the consumer is the possibility of improyement in distribution methods, corresponding to those that have so greatly reduced production costs.
