Says New England Tel. Co.
in Reply to Vermont
Complaint
DEFENSE OUTLINED
IN BRIEFS FILED
Lower Rates Would Cripple
Service, 1t Is De-
clared

Brattleboro, Feb. I'm their brief
submitted to the public service commits
sion Saturday to show cause why an
order should not be issued reducing To-
cal and toll rates, attorneys for the
New England Telephone & Telegraph
company and its four subsidiary com
panies in Vermont, protest that such
an order would be unjust and contsca-
tory; that no evidence to support the
allegation that the rates are unreason-
able has been adduced; and that the
uncontroverted testimony OF the de-
PENDANTS shows that the service in YER
mont is of Just as high a standard as
service furnished in other parts of its
territory, while the rates charged there
for are as low, if not lower, than the
rates charged for like service in other
sections.
They further claim that on their
proved investment in the state the net
profit under existing schedules is less
than two per cent. for the combined
five companies and less than one per
cent. for the New England company
considered separately.
The effect of the proposed schedule,
they claim, would be to wipe out their
present small margin OF profit and leave
these five companies with an annual OPP
Grating deficit of over $4,000, which
deficit would be increased for 1914 by
some $4,000 resulting from the increased
taxation of these companies.
In this state the New England COM
pany claims to have $50 per cent. Of
its plant investment, which investment
contributes only 23o per cent. of its
gross revenue. In Massachusetts, it is
able to get So subscribers to the aver
age square mile of territory, while in
that section OF Vermont operated by
the New England company it gets an
average of only SO subscribers to the
square mile, and only 51a subscribers
to the square mile in the territory served
by the New England company and its
four subsidiaries when considered as a
unit
The brief begins with short state
ment of the case and of the issues pre-
sented, and says there is really only
one issue involyed-the reasonableness
or justice of the defendants present
schedule of rates. 1t then calls atten-
ton to the statute and case law cast
ing the burden of proof in this case
upon the compliments, treatment of
elementary law which is said to be nee
essary only because Of the anomalous

SEVERE RHEUMATIC
PAINS DISAPPEAR
Hoods Sarsaparilla Will Surely Bring
Relef--Don't Suffer.

Rheumatism, which perhaps causes
more suffering than any other disease
depends on an acid which flows in the
blood, affecting the muscles and joints,
producing Inflammation, stiffness and
pain.
This acid gets into the blood through
some defect in the digestive processes
and remains there because the liver,
kidneys and skin are too torpid to carry
1T off.
Hoods Sarsaparilla, the old-time blood
tonic, is very successful in the treat
ment of rheumatism. 1t acts directly
with purifying effect, on the blood, and
through the blood on the liver, kidneys
and skin, which it stimulates, and at the
same time it improves the digestion.
Get Hoods to-day. Sold by all drug
gists.-Advt.

Ask Complaint Be Dismissed.

| The defendants therefore ask that this
complaint against them be dismissed.
| This complaint was really brought by
| r. A. Cook of Lyndonville and Warner
A. Graham of Bellows Falls. who last
summer were appointed special counsel
to investigate telephone rates and serv-
ice in the state. They reported that
! the rates were unreasonable and rec
commended reduction of approximately
20 per cent. in both local and toll rates
The commission issued an order of
notice calling upon the companies to ap-
pear and show cause why the sched-
ule of rates as proposed by the com
plainants should not be adopted.
The report of Messrs. Cook and Ora
ham was not offered in evidence. but
was treated merely as a complaint. II
is not specifically referred to in the brief
but its allegations were met in the tes-
timony presented in behalf of the tele-
lphone companies.
The brief defends the traffic contracts
with subsidiary and independent con-
Meeting companies on the interchange of
toll business and points out that these
companies "are getting the cream of the
toll business and the New England COM
pany stands the loss" This is because
of the fact that although the New Eng
land company provides the long toll
lines, the connecting companies get a
per centage of ali the tolls on messages
passing over these lines but originating
in the exchanges of the local companies.
As to dividends paid, the brief says
the New England company as a whole
shows return of only 4.66 per cent.
since its organization in 1883, or, in
Guiding surplus,..5.l5 per cent; that the
Champlain Valley paid no dividends I'M
til ll2, when it declared per cent
dividend and AZ per cent in 1913; that
the Passumpsic company has never paid
dividend on its common stock, and that
on its preferred IL paid nothing until
1912, when it paid per cent, and two
dividends of lk per cent. each in 1918,
passing the third dividend; that the
Vermont company paid no dividends
from 1897 TO 1911, when it declared
dividends aCgregating 81 per cent. for
that year and at the rate of Z per cent.
in 1912; and that the Franklin County
company has paid dividends varying
from 2 to per cent. only since 1904.

Abundant Life

'I am come that they might have life and that they might have it more abundantly."
 There are several more or less work able divisions of mans life-social, business, religious; emotional, intel lectual, willing; physical, mental, spiritual, etc.
 Let us run down the last.
 Body-The body grows best when it is the temple of strong mind and a right spirit. Christ's fitness of life touches these, therefore touches the body.
 Christians ought to be the health fest people in the world, and are. Paleness and spirituality are not synonymous. Physicians, hospitals, nurses, remedies, and nearly all Chris tian gifts. And the Christian frame has prevented and cured more diseases tileill all lHc OUJeCtlNc HlcdIlS. 1ne curative principle in Christian Science is not new or confined to the prac- tice of few.
 Christians ought to be the best fed people in the world, and are. Food is life, and God wants life. Moreover, Christianity is flinging it's defiance to famine to the ends of the earth. There is vast deal yet to do, but what a mammoth work has already been done.

On the Convention Map

Several large and important nation al bodies which usually hold their meetings in northern cities have de- cided to meet in Birmingham within the next twelve months, and it is thought probable that a number of associations scheduled to meet this year at certain summer resorts will accept invitations to meet here in 1915.
 Until this city had adequate hotel accommodation it was difficult to se- cure conventions of the class that as- semble from 800 to 1000 prominent men used to stopping at only modern fireproof hotels; but now that Bir- mingham is on the convention map as a city with the most magnificent hotel in the south and one of the finest in the world, bodies will require little persuasion to vote in favor of meet Ing nefe.
 It is a well known fact that last year and the year before many con vention delegates expressed readi- ness to vote for Birmingham as soon as the hotel situation made it desira- ble. Birmingham has long been one of tha hest advarticad cities in tbic cou,, try, but until now it's fame rested chiefly on it's industrial activities. To- day the railroads announce their in- tention to issue stop-over tickets for Birmingham, and the tourist business in the winter and spring promises to be very large. This added to the in- creasing number of conventions held here from year to year will be of un- told benefit.

Paris and the Styles

A certain female impersonator, who knows more about good clothes for women than most women do and has q reputation that entities him to be quoted, said recently that he was greatly disappointed in the women he saw in Paris. The Parisiennes who have worldwide reputation for be- ing chic impressed Julian Eltinge as ~dowdy," both in their dresses and in their carriage. He found French wom- on far from being so well dressed as the smart American women seen at the Grand Prix. He investigated and learned that the gowns of the latter were made in the United States.
 The pre-eminence Paris has enjoyed n center of fashion seems to be on fhe wane. American women are begin ming to realize in greatly increasing numbers that they can get their cIothes made in this country quite as well as they can in Paris and at a con- siderable saving. As for style, the Paris dressmakers are no longer su- ncome, although Americans are so ac-

The Federal Reserve System

The banking and currency act pro- shall consist of seven members, in cluding two xofficio-the Secretary of the Treasury and the Comptroller of the Currency-but as two of the five appointed by the President are unconfirmed, the organization will pro- ceed without further delay with five members-McAdoo, Williams, Hard ing, Miller and Hamlin. The new sys- tenn will be in operation before the end of the present month
 Mr Miller and MT. Hamlin are un- known in banking circles, but they will doubtless prove to be useful men on the board. MT McAdoo has had wide experience in business affairs and is at home in finance. MT. Will Hams has a good banking record and he is known as a fiscal expert But MT Harding will be known as the banker par excellence He will bring to his new position a thorough knowledge of practical banking and broad knowl- edge of finance as a science.
 MT. Warburg would have been a
 
 valuable acquisition to the board, but should he and the Senate fail to "get together" the board as at present con stituted will be able to set the federal reserve system a-going in good shape and keep it in smooth working order.

The Late M. D. Ingalls,

Melville E. Ingalls,, who died at Hot Springs, Va, yesterday, had been long prominent in the railroad world. He was in his seventy second year, but until recently was chairman ot the board of directors of the Big Four system, and was potential factor in what is known as the Vanderbilt group.
 A native of Maine, MT. Ingalls, be- gan his active career as lawyer in that state; but removing to Boston, he served two years in the Massa- chusetts state senate. From Boston he removed to Cincinnati, where he soon became identified with public affairs and railroad management In 1888 he accepted the presidency of the Chesa- peake and Ohio railroad, and served in that capacity twelve years.
 MT. Ingalls, was pioneer in apply ing humanitarian ideas to railroad op- eration. He believed in men, and soon made his employees, down to the hum blest of them, feel that he was their friend. While at the head of the Chesapeake and Ohio he divided his time between Cincinnati and Rich mond, and in the latter city he was regarded with as much affection as if he had been to the manner born. AL though very busy man, he was never too busy to receive in person anyone who called at his office. He took a keen interest in every movement seek ing the improvement of the social con- dition of the masses, and contributed generously to the Young Mems Chris tian association. When the first Young Mems Christian association building was erected in roundhouse town sit uated on the Chesapeake and Ohio he presided at the dedicatory services and made an address which attracted at tention at the time by reason of it's strong note of humanity.
 It was through MT. Ingalls, efforts and leadership that the famous old resort places of Virginia were mod ernized and popularized. He took a special interest in Hot Springs, and built himself beautiful home there.
 Mr. Ingalls, was a democrat and took an active part in party politics in Ohio. He was a capital stump speaker, and was always in demand in state and national campaigns. He as- pired to the United States Senate, but despite his failure to attain that honor his loyalty to democratic principles never flagged. A happy hearted, lov- able man, Mir. Ingalls, will be greatly missed by thousands who claimed him asf a personal friend and by other thousands who knew him and esteemed him in his public character.
