ILLINOIS UTILITIES BOARD MUST
ACT.

The new Illinois Utilities Board must
reduce telephone rates in Illinois the
first thing or 1t will become very UNI
popular. Illinois is the greatest vic.
tim Of the phone monopoly in the
United States. The people are tired
OF being overcharged by It. Long dis
lance service In this state is almost
as bad as local service.
The Railroad Commission of Cali
fornia has been considering the ques.
ton Of ,ong.distance telephone rates
and has issued an order for reductions
which will 60 into effect February IA.
II has made a change also In the mat.
ter of time, the use being extended
from one minute to two for the or.
binary charges.
1t would be impossible to make ex-
act comparisons with the charges for
long-distance service in this city with.
out complete statistics and explana.
tons, but taking the distances set
down In railroad time tables and re.
Numbering that the use here Is for
three minutes instead of two the
reader may perhaps figure out com.
parison for himself.
The rate from San Francisco to
Palo Alto, "a miles, was 35 cents and
1t has been reduced to Is cents. The
rate from Chicago to Lake Forest. 2s
miles, Is 20 cents, but the service Is
longer and additional charges are 8
cents q minute.
The rate from San Francisco to
San Jose, so miles, has been reduced
from 40 to 20 cents. The rate from
Chicago to Kankakee, "a miles, is 40
cents.
The rate from San Francisco to
Sacramento, 30 miles, has been re.
duced from IS to 30 cents. From Chi.
cago to Milwaukee, IS miles, 1t Is 80
cents. From San Francisco to Santa
Cruz, 70 miles, It has been reduced
from 80 cents to 30 cents.
Marysville Is 142 miles from San
Francisco and the rate has been re.
duced from 70 cents to 80 cents. The
rate from Chicago to Bloomington,
l39 miles, is IS cents.
From San Francisco to Red BLUM,
225 miles. the reduction Is from $3.50
to so cents. The rate from Chicago
to Springfield, 1872 miles, is 81.
The California figures for overtime
are lacking. They might go far to-
ward equalizing apparent differences
in the charges. In the Chicago cases
cited after Lake Forest the rate for
an additional minute Isl To Kanka.
kee, 10 cents; to Milwaukee, Is cents;
to Bloomington, 20 cents; to Spring.
field, 80 cents.
The most interesting feature of the
showing is undoubtedly the large per-
centage to be noted in the reductions
ordered by the California state board
In the case of Palo Alto 1t is nearly
60 per cent. In the case of Vallejo,
where the reduction Is from 80 to 10
cents, it is 20 per cent, Upon the
rates taken as a whole 1t is given as
81 per cent.
Chicago local rates, as everybody
knows, are higher than in any other
big city in the world. The service is
rotten and unsatisfactory and Is get
ting worse every day.

CHICAGO SAVINGS INDICATE
PROSPERITY.


Savings banks deposits are splen.
did indication of the thrift and pros
perity of community. Big deposits
in other banks may indicate idle cap
ital. Big deposits in savings banks
show the prosperity and thrift of the
wage.earning classes. Chicago's
grand savings banks, like the Hiber-
MAN Banking Association, North
western Trust and Savings Bank,
Union Trust, Fort Dearborn. Drovers
Trust and Savings, Graham & Sons,
La Sale Street Trust and Savings,
Illinois Trust and Savings, and Con-
tinental and Commercial Trust and
Savings all show great increases in
their savings deposits over last year.
Large savings bank deposits and in
crease of depostors are signs difficult
to reconcile with the claims OF
prophets of panic and doleful depic'
lions OF chronic pessimists. Savings
bank deposits in large centers like
New York and Chicago inspire conf
dence. In Chicago they amount to
s1S,00O,000 more than they did a year
October %. 1913, and January 1914,
was faster than during any previous
equal period. Since the new year
opened. deposits have increased in
volume at an unusual rate; $4,000
new accounts have been opened, and
these mainly, so 1t Is estimated, by
wage earners
To persons who realize how large
a part these savings banks deposits
figuring as carefully guarded loans
have to do with development Of civic
and industrial projects, this contin
ued growth Of deposits and depositors
will bring satisfaction. Diminution OF
employment In factories and shops
there has been to some extent. But II
has not been enough to check the
productive factors of the nations es
sential life or to justify pessimism.
The savings bank Is a sure ba
rometer. And from Chicago's show
ing an era of prosperity is upon us.

SANITARY DISTRICT ANSWERS
GOVERNMENT.

The sanitary district in an answer
filed in the Federal Court to the gov
ernment's injunction seeking to re.
strain 1t from drawing more water
from Lake Michigan, denied the allie
cations made and asserted the drain.
age canal was constructed In part at
the invitation OF the government.
The answer was filed in behalf OF
the district by Attorney Edmund ID.
Adcock, Alfred s. Austrian and NJ. s.
Cressy. Four principal contentious
are set forth. They are;
That a withdrawal of more than the
present amount Of 4,167 cubic feet
a second from the lake will not lower
the level of the lake.
That the government invited the
expenditure of ss0,0O0,000 on the
drainage canal and other canals at a
time when 1t was believed there
would be no restrictions on the with
drawal Of water,
That for many years the district
continued to increase its withdrawal
Of water through the old Illinois and
Michigan canal without any protest on
the part OF the government.
That II the district be not permit
ted 10 withdraw more than the pres
ent amount II will have to spend up
wards OF s300,00O00O in the construc.
ton OF sewage disposal and water
publication plants.
The answer asserts that If the in.
junction prayed for by the govern
ment should be granted the district
will be unable 10 prevent the Chicago
River from reversing it's flow at vari.
Gus times OF the year by reason of
the heavy drainage flow from the dis.
trict, The sewage thus arising, II
is declared, will flow back into Lake
Michigan and pollute the water sup
ply of Chicago and the towns and vii.
lagos within the limits Of the SAM.
tary district.
AT other times OF the year is the
wording of the answer the level OF
the lake and of the canals will be
eqnalized and the Chicago River will
become polluted so there would be
created an offensive condition and a
public nuisance, increasing the
spread OF water.borne diseases, and
endangering the lives and health of
the entire population within the dis
trict."

tional limitations OF the state would
