TOO MUCH RED TAPE
Simplified Methods Should Be
Pursued in Organization.

The wholesale consolidation Of numer-
Gus small public service companies during
the last twelve months Is bringing into
prominence the Importance OF eliminating
az much red tape a. possible from the
general supervision and management Of
such groups of small units. says The
Electrical World" While syndicate man
agemcnt ~ central stations operating in
communities of 200o0 or more inhabitants
has been common for many years. the
wholesale acquisition OF small properties
by syndicates Is comparatively recent. II
must be obvious that. az compared with
city systems. greatly simplined methods
must be pursued I'm the records and man
agement Of "A company composed OF many
such small units, otherwise the red tape
necessary 10 manage these small plants
from a central Office Will be out OF pro-
portion To the gross receipts. The records
kept of small properties have frequently
been insufficient. The Incoming consoi-
dated management taking hold or such
plants is likely 10 20 10 the other extreme

men at the head OF affairs with the op-
sire To carry the methods used I'm large
properties into the smaller ones. IL the
consultations of the smaller plants are
TO be successful. it Is essential to elimi-
nate unnecessary expenditure OF time and
money. keeping little used records. The
best of judgment is needed 10 determine
how much red tape and system can be
done away with without affecting the net
results disadvantageously. The bad effect
Of too much red tape shows up most
strongly I'm connection with the small
plant I'm ;ho bookkeeping and the making
out of reports. TO be sure, 1t Is better
TO have TOO many records than too few.
but "A study OF the reports and systems
Of most plants will show that some rec
ords and reports are costing much more
than they are worth.

MAY COMMENT ON COURT
Editor Declared to Have the
Right to Discuss Proceedings.
CAN ALSO CRITICISE LAWS
So Commissioner Asserts in Re-
port on the Case of Will
lam R. Nelson.

jefferson City. Mo. April 19-William
r. Nelson. editor and owner OF The
Kansas City Star" was not guilty or
malice in the publication of the article
for which he was adjudged guilty of con-
tempt of court and sentenced TO day
in Jail last February by Circuit Judge
Joseph A. Guthrie: the article Itself was
substantially true" and unless in the
courts opinion that article in Itself Is
contemptuous' the petitioner should be
discharged. These were the findings re-
ported 10 the Missouri Supreme Court to-
day by its commissioner in the case,
Charles G. Crow. of Kansas City.
The article complained of stated that
Judge Guthrie had refused to dismiss the
divorce suit of Minnie l.. Clevinser
| against Claude f.. Cleyinger until attor-
neys' fees were paid. and that the re-
| fusal came after the ClevinGers had been
rcconciled and had asked the dismissal
] of the case.
Your commissioner finds" says the re-
port that the article referred To was
substantially true. and as nearly a cor
rect report of court proceedings as could
| be expected from a layman. and the eN-
| perience of your commissioner has been
| that many lawyers would have made as
many errors as appear In this article
"The author of this article complained

your commissioner finds from all the
evidence i'm the case that the petitioner
was merely exercising his right to re-
port and discuss proceedings in court
Of Justice. and the mere fact that the
statements are inaccurate and that mis-
]
render him guilty Of contempt: II so
every layman or person learned In the
| law that misconstrucs, misintcrprcts or
misundcrstands the rulings orders and

Of an offence. and punishment might be
/ administered. az I'm this case, by depriv-

does not attempt 20 impugn the motives
OF the court or to charge corruption or
infamy. and thereby attempt to bring our
courts into disrcpute."
The Supreme Court set May ! for the
hearing OF Mr. Nelson's case by the court
on banc. The case was carried 10 the
| Supreme Court by Mr.. Nelson on an ap'
peal from Judge Guthrie's decision.
