 'It is proper and just that the rate chargeable by public service corpora tions should be determined by an in- gation of public service corporations to furnish service at reasonable rates in return for the speSial privileges granted them should be enforceable like every other legal obligation.
 '"The public is now compelled to pur- chase of the corporations at the price fixed by the corporations. For exam pie: it is essential that our city streets be lighted These lights in most cases can be obtained only from one tor pos sibly two) corporations which have exclusive rights in the city streets If the city and the corporation cannot agree on a mutually satisfactory price the corporation can decline to furnish the light, but what can the city do? year for street lights; Hartford and Bridgeport each about $63.o00 annually.
 No corporation fulfilling it's just common law obligations would be in jured by granting the power of rate regulation to such a commission as IS proposed by the bill of the State Busi- ness Mems Association. The commis- sion's decisions, rendered after thor ough expert investigation and full hearing, in writing, stating the reasons therefor, and open to public criticism, would be fair and just, like the similar decisions of our courts; and if, by any chance, the rate fixed by the commis- sion deprived the corporation of just return, it would be illegal and could be set aside either by an appeal to the State courts or by application to the Federal courts

Insurance Commissioner Mac Donald Quotes With Approval Language of New York Court of Appeals
His Statement Held to Favor Contentious of the ''Older Members" Knights of COlum- bus, Now in Litigation

Insurance Commissioner Theodore H. Macdonald, in his annual report, takes a position that is regarded by the folder members of the Knights of Columbus as stating essentially their attitude in their suit to obtain a division of certain accumulations of the order.
 Says the commissioners; 'It has be- come the custom for fraternals to in crease the rates of assessment when ever it becomes necessary to do so 10 prolong their existence.
 Such increases always fall heaviest on the older members.
 Ut has been cOntended that the right to do this lay in the fact that certificates were issued upon the ex- pressly stated condition that the mem Der insured must comply with all the rules and laws of the order.
 "The use, or rather abuse, of this condition has forced many thousands of persons of long standing in fra ternal orders either to pay prohibitive rates of assessments in their later days or drop out of the organization they had been supporting.
 .sThe practice has been the subject of numerous actions in both state and Federal courts, but decisions have been conflicting"
 Continues the commissioner "The court of appeals of New York state, however. has recently met the situa- fion fairly. 5 s'This court, while recognizing the fact that increased assessments are necessary because of early inadequacy of rates, rendered a logical decision in which it emphasized the doctrine that the value of contracts in force could not be impaired and that the customary increases of rates charged on certificates previously issued could not be permitted.
 The pertinent paragraph of the deci- sion of the court so referred to is as follows:
 person to charge it in any respect
 "A contract that authorizes one
 person to charge 1t in any respect
 that he chooses would, in effect, be
 binding upon the other party only
 and would leave him at the mer-
 cy of the former, and we nave
 said that human language is not
 strong enough to place person in
 that situation"
 HOW aptly this decision touches up- on the case of the older members or the Knights of Columbus is apparent, when 1t is remembered that they went into the order under a contract pro viding for the payment of certain rates and that these rates were af- terward extinguished and new and higher rates were substituted by rule of the order.
 The older members, do not however, sue. for the right to enjoy the earlier rates. but for a distribution of a aum somewhat less than $1,000, 900, which had accumulated under the old system of payments. These funds it is alleged do not form any part or the present financial scheme of the order, and their pro rata distribution among the older members is sought to be applied to reduction or rates, es far as the amount will go when distributed according to the number of payments made by each individual involved.

LOSING VENTURE
Moving Pictures of Fight Are Not Proving At
 tractive
Special from United Press.)


 New York, July 30.-That the mov- ing picture men who are reported to have put up a half million dollars for the Jeffries-Johnson fight pie lures, may not even break even," is a conviction that is growing among theatrical men here.
 When the pictures were first put on the moving picture people de- clared the admission price would have to be $1 because of the tremendous outlay in securing them. The films were quickly placed on exhibition in half a dozen New York and Brooklyn theatres. There were no riots, neith- CT were there any mobs at the front door clamoring for admission.
 Now the price has dropped to 50 cents and still the expected crowds are missing. Theatrical men profess to believe that the fact that Johnson won over the white man has practi- cally killed the demand for the films. Had the victory been the other way, they say, the theatres would not have held the crowds.
 Of course, abroad, where there is no race feeling, the pictures attract throngs but the theatre-goers certain ly are not fighting for admission in New York and Brooklyn.

 The Mexican promoters have re- ceived assurances from a number of owners that they will race their stables at JuareZ. The fact that the Mexicans have hung up more than $300,000 in stables and purses seems to make that track a greater magnet than all the other winter tracks for owners of fast horses

Pulling Rabbi's Whiskers
 In Salem Costs $15 a Pull

Salem, July 30.-Pulling whiskers in this city costs $15 a pull if Henry Jordan's experience may be consider ed a standard. At least that is what trict court for the pleasure.
 There are conditions surrounding Jordan's case which might be consid- cred as precluding it from becoming a standard price for pulling whiskers. Jordan pulled the whiskers of Jacob Schlan, a Rabbi, and many contend that the whiskers of a layman might be pulled at less expense. Then, too, Jordan in a degree extenuated his offense by explaining to the court it was done in the way of a joke. So with a Rabbi's whiskers may not, after all. establish a standard for such acts.
