CITIZENS WIN
 RATE FIGHT
With Telephone Company A Compromise Has Been
 Accepted.

Accepted.
 Special to Independent.
 Little Rock, March B. The citizens of Little Rock, Argenta and Pulaski Heights have won a victory against the Southwest ern Telephone and Telegraph Co. The company had announced a raise in the rates for telephone service, and at once a vigorous protest went up from all over the city. Indignation meetings were held and finally a special committee consisting of repre-. sentatives of, the. various city governments and commercial or- ganizations was appointed to confer with the representatives of the company.
 A compromise was suggested that the residence phone rates remain as they are, but that the proposed increase in the business phones be made. This was sub- mitted to General Manager Hiss who came to Little Rock to meet the citizens and officials, and he in turn submitted it to his su- periors in St. Louis.
 Monday Mayor c. E. Taylor received official advices from St.. Louis that the proposed com promise had been accepted by the company. This is considered a great victory, as it is generally conceded that under the terms of the franchise granted ten years ago the company had the legal right to make the increas- ed charge, and even more, =

LIVE STOCK MARKET.
Cattle and Hogs Both Show Strength
Sheep Are Steady.

Kansas City Stock Yards, June ID
The cattle market took on a better
feeling last week after the rain. Fed
steers closed with a small net loss,
and butcher grades finished % to 4Oc
lower, except prime COWS which were
no worse than steady to lOc lower.
Stockers and feeders lost % to SOC,
and touched the lowest point of the
year about the middle of the week,
75c to one dollar below three weeks
ago. Rains last week changed the
outlook for stockers and the advance
of % to 4Oc On them today was ex-
pected. Cattle supply today is 1000
head. Fat grades scld promptly at
STEADY prices. Nearly all the stuff
was started to the scales before ten
O'Clock. Early movement to the scale
is an important item to sellers On
warm days, and fills secured today
were good. Fair to good natives scld
at $40 to S.75, some medium Colora-
do sugar mill steers at S.S5 and good
fed guarantees at 7.65 to So. Not
many natives sell under 7.75, and the
comparatively marrow spread between
prime natives, around 900, and gras-
sy steers Is due to be widened. SEN
timent is more optimistic than one
week ago, and it is believed the wild
ening will be accomplished by ad-
vancing the top grades. Favorable
weather for grass and corn will stim'
ulate the whole cattle market.
Hogs made gains after Tuesday Jas
week, and it was apparent at the
end Of the week that the market had
considerable strength. Higher prices
we've looked for this week and the
5000 head received today sold accord
ing TO form, strong to 5 higher. Four
or five loads sold TO packers at the
top, 1923, and bulk of sales were at
sos to $40, safely above the eight
dollar mark. Packers have good sup
plies Of products, and expect free
movement of same balance Of the sun
mer, hence their Willingness to per-
nit hog prices to go to a slightly
higher level. No big advance is look
ed for, and a heavy run would upset
these plans, of course.
Sheep and lambs are steady on a
level Csc below the high time last
week., run today 1900 head. Goats
are at the seasons low point, brush
ers available at SO to 3.75, fat goats
around $50. Native and Arizona
spring lambs are selling together at
S.65 to 9.25 today, ewes at 4.75 to
$40, culls around 400. Texas wethers
are worth $40 to $50. Dealers say
prospects ahead for balance Of this
year favor scant supplies and strong
markets. j. A. RICKART.

HODGES GREAT VICTORY.
From The Topeka State Journal.


Governor Hodges deserved Vindica-
ton at the hands of the Judge and
jury in the Shawnee county district
court is not only Is complete as one
possibly could be, it is also most sat
1sfying to those who believe in fair
play for all, the high as we'll as the
lowly, the politician and man in pub
he office as we'll as the one in pri-
vate life.
No other outcome cou1d have been
conceivable of the suit that was
brought against him by Mrs. West,
with the support of Mrs. Buckwalter.
Anything else would have been no
less than an prostitution of the jus
tice that Kansas and her courts &C.
cord to all.
1t is disgraceful, as a matter of
fact, that Governor Hodges was fore
ed to become a defendant to any such
suit and that he was compelled TO
waste his time and money in estab-
fishing In court the fact known to all
his friends, and even conceded by his
political enemies, that he is a gen.
tleman under all circumstances and
even when the duties of office COM
pei him to have dealings with terma-
giants and contentious women, whom
Solomon rightly class9d among the
denominations. But he comes out of
the disagreeable incident gamer,
for his dignified attitude during the
whole miserable affair has assuredly
made him a host of new friends.
There would also seem to be some
thing wrong with the methods Of jul
dicial procedure that will permit the
Institution of such suits. Why they
are undertaken and pressed by attor-
neys, often reputable members of the
bar, is one of the present day myster.
les that can possibly only be explain
ed by the kinks in human nature,
which too often place monetary gain
or notoriety, or both, above the pro-
prieties. And it is adding insult to
injury for Judge Simon, who has
been the legal engineer of Governor
Hodges traducers, to talk about
possible appeal from the judment and
verdict in the district court. He can
be in a better business than in even
making a suggestion of appealing sue
an outrageous case.
The most simple minded of an un--
prejudiced observer, who followed the
testimony in this case, could not do
anything else than conclude that Mrs.
West and her friend either instituted
it with the hope of financial returns,
or for the purpose of causing trouble
for Governor Hodges, and thus squar-
ing their fancied grievance against
him. And it is fortunate for Cover
nor Hodges and the fair name Of
Kansas as we'll that there was an eye
witness to the affair in the COVER
nOr's office in the person Of Adju-
tant General Martin, whose reputa-
ton for probity is second to no mans
in Kansas. Else the persecution Of
the governor by these women might
have been more annoying.
The best that csn be said of this
suit, its inception and its trial, is
that there was sappy ending to
sorry, most despicable affair. And
the women who conceived 1t, and
those who encouraed them in their
wrong, have opened themselves, it
would seem, to nothing but criticism
and condemnation.
