Plight of Lees Soldiers.

General Meade's army was thorough
ly equipped and provided with every
appliance of modern warfare. On the
other hand, the Confederate Army Of
Northern Virginia gained little in num-
bers by recruiting and had never been
so scantily supplied with food and
clothing. The equipment as to arms
was well enough, but commissary and
quartermaster's supplies were lamenta-
bly, deficient. A new pair Of shoes or
an 0~vercoat was a luxury, and full
rations would have astonlshed the
stomachs Of Lees ragged Confederates.
But they took their privations cheer
fully, and complaints were seldom
heard. One hardy fellow whose trousers
were literally worn to a FRAGILE" and

patching became a camp character.

General Robert e. Lees headquarters

was not to be remedied until the an

the color line.

The L., H. & P. Company Bond Issue

The Public Service Commission, created and
authorized in an act passed by the Indiana
Assembly, in March of 1913, has the power to
fix rates at which the service of public utility
corporations may sell their commodities. Ac-
cording to the law, these rates must be based on
a physical valuation of the plant corporation
might have a capitalization of 81 100000, but if
it's equipment, used and useful for supplying
it's service is worth only 100000, the rates must
be adjusted so to pay a reasonable dividend
on the latter figure. 1t is of the duties of the
Commission to make fair and accurate valuation
of a plant before fixing it's rates. The import
ance of this is recognized when one sees that a
too high valuation will automatically raise rates
and thus cheat consumers into paying more for
their service than justice would require
Therefore, it is of utmost Importance that
the valuation of public utilities plant be abso-
lutely accurate In no other way can reasona-
BILE charge be determined.

ance and the possible significance in the $780,
