VETO OF MAYOR
WAS SUSTAINED
Telephone Company, as Result,
Is Still Operating Without
Franchise at Provo.
Especial to The Herald-RepubIican.l

Especial to The Herald Republican,
Provo, Dec. 2l-The city council sus-
tanned tonight the veto of Mayor Charles
F. Decker Of the ordinance passed by
the council granting a franchise to the
Rocky Mountain Bell Telephone eompanv
Tor twenty-five years by a vote of six to
Tour, all the members Of the council be
ing present.
The ordinance just vetoed by the NAV
or, Which veto the city council tonight
sustained, is about the twelfth that mas
Deen framed up for the benefit of the
telephone company One week ago the
council with nine members present
passed the bill by a vote of seven to
Two. The ordinance provided for a fran
chlse TO the Rocky Mountain Bell com
pany WHICH would allow them to charge
a maximum rate Of $50 for residence and
$40 for business telephones, per year, and
10 operate twenty-five years.
Inc reason assigned by the mayor for
ms VetOlng of the bill was the fact that
had II been passed the Rocky Mountain
a franchise much more valuable than the
one recently asked for and granted the
Independent Telephone company. Only
one Of the numerous ordinances offered
IN the past was accepted and passed By
the council, and this was turned down
Dy the telephone company. The one just
vetoed by the mayor was said by officials
or the company to have been acceptable
to them, but the mayor effectually
squelched any acceptance from the tele-
phone company by vetoing it on the
grounds that the two telephone cOmpa-
MES would be treated equal.

NOTABLE FOR WHAT
IS NOT CONTAINED
Annual Report of Interstate
Commerce Commission Is
Submitted to Congress.
TAFT'S WISH RESPECTED
SPECIAL MESSAGE COMING EN-
BoDYINe VIEWS OF PRESIDENT.

Washington, Dec. Recommendations
for changes in the present law regulating
transportation companies are contained in
the twenty-third annual report of the
interstate commerce commission, trans
mitted today to congress.
Notwithstanding the recommendations
made, however, the report, in this re-
spect, is notable rather for what it does
not contain.
Five of the suggestions made by the
special committee selected by President
Taft to draft changes I'm the existing in
terstate commerce act, are offered in the
report. Il is known that the commission.
as body faVOrs the plans proposed by
that committee; but, as a matter of cour-
tesy. it has refrained from discussing
the changes in advance of the special
message on the subject which President
Taft has indicated he will send to con-
gress.
The commission expresses its cOnvic-
ton that certain amendments to the pres
ent law are necessary to enable it fully
to accomplish the purposes Of congress.
Briefly summarized, the proposed amend
mentS are as follows:

Physical Valuation.

That a physical valuation be made of
the interstate railroads of the country
which shall be binding upon the courts
and the commission.
That the commission be given poWBT
to prevent advances in rates or changes
in regulations or practices to the disad-
vantage of the shipper pending an in
vestigatiOn into the reasonab leness of the
proposed change.
The commissions authority to establish
a joint rate and through route is limited
to cases where no such route exists, and
the commission recommends that this linn
itatiOn be stricken out of the law, so
that it may establish a through route
wherever, upon investigation, it is found
desirable.
A further recommendation is that in
certain instances the shipper be permitted
to direct the intermediate routing of his
traffic; also that the law be so amended
as to give the commission undOubted au-
thOrity to enter "a corrective order as
the result of an investigation instituted
by the commission upon its own motion.

ReVenues 81 RaIIroads.

The annual report of the commission
from the carriers shows that for the fis-
cal year ended June 80, 1903, the gross
operating revenues of all railroads in the
United States was 81, 461, J2l, 345, and the
operating income derived by subtTacting
operating expenses and taxes was $685.
1881 For 1909 the operating revenue
was s.. 494. 1155S9, and the operating in
come S7429S7f91, indicating an increase for
1909 of S32,5942H in gross earnings and
SS6,56S, SO in net earnings. The average
number of miles operated in 1908 was 22S,
1884, and in 1909, 233,002 The large in
crease in net as compared with gross
earnings is accounted for by a reduction
of operating expenses in 1909 below those
of 1908 OF S59,2249S3.
The report indicates that a larger num-

the commission in 1909 than in 1905

Jean had been a naughty girl all
day long. 1t was 6 o'clock, so she
thought she would take a rest after
running around all day.
She lay on sofa which was stuat-

pictures hanging on the walls.
Suddenly a dwarf came up to her
and said: "The king of the dwarfs
wishes to see you. Step into my
carriage and / will take you there

fairies are the only ones whom |

dwarf, you must come with me to-

chance to see the fairies"
Jean was afraid to go, as she had
read in books many bad things they
did TO children. She looked about
her, but the dwarf was gone and IN
the distance she saw a lot or them
coming toward her. Soon they APP
preached and said: Are you going
TO come with us?" mo-" said Jean,
turning away. Bring me the rope"
said one OF the dwarfs to Blarney,
who had some rope under his arm.

they began to tie her hands and feet
together. Then they pulled her on
the floor with such thump that she
woke up and found herself lying on
the floor.
