GUESSING WHO Will Be
CLINTON POSTMASTER
PATRONS IN DOUBT AS TO
WHICH APPLICANT WILL BE
RECOMMENDED.

Clinton, Jan. 31.-Patrons of the
Clinton postoffice have been somewhat
'in the air" recently as to who would
be their postmaster, succeeding Post.
master o. L. West, resigned. Some.
time since a civil service examination
was held here, at which time six ap.
plicants responded. Since then these
applicants have received notice OF
their grades, ranking in the following
order: ]. L. Burnett, Henry Rowe
Cleve Morrow, Luther Bradley, Mrs
R. NJ Hunter and Ulysses West.
Until recently it has been a rule Of
the department to certify to the con
gressmen the names of the three max
ing the highest grade at these exami
nations, his recommendation being fol
lowed. In such an event it would b.
presumed that Mr.. Morrow, being tn,
only Democrat of the three highest

latter part Of last week by Postmaster
General Burleson that hereafter ap
pointments would be made strictly OIL

NEED OF A COMMISSION.

The announcement by the Bell Tele-
phone Company that the rates for
service in the city of Little Rock are
to be raised is beginning to bring out
objections upon the part of the tele-
phone subscribers in that city.
This is merely another instance of
the need Of state public service
commission to investigate such mat
tiers. The Log Cabin Democrat indi-
Gated this need in an editorial article
several weeks ago, pointing out that
such commission could also have
settled the water service problem with
which Little Rock is even yet wrest.
ling. 1t could have arbitrated the
differences between the subscribers OF
the Conway telephone system and III
management when the rates were
raised here last summer.

FARMER CLEARS Land
With HERD OF GOATS

Henry Arnhart, one of Mountain
townships good citizens and a sue
cessful farmer, was attending to bust
ness in Clinton Tuesday, says the
Clinton Democrat. Mr.. Arnhart is
one of those farmers who farm with
their head as well as hands, and does
note believe in expanding good hard
solid labor when it can be done in a
more profitable way. For example, he
has herd of some 80 or more goats
which he has kept on woodland for
two seasons, and now all underground
is cleared off, while he has been at no
expense whatever for maintenance of
his goats.

THE ARKWAY.

Tonight at the Arkway, "The Pill.
GRIM Messenger of Love-" one-reel
Powers drama, will head the bill of
pictures. 1t is the story of brutal
man, who, with his wife and daughter
lives in hut of dirt and squalor. A
stranger comes into the neighborhood,
carrying lamb which he has rescued
from beneath fallen log. He takes
the lamb to the water, battles its
wound and goes on his way. At the
hut he asks for food, but is refused by
the greedy man. The daughter gives
the stranger food which she has seen
her father hide. For this her father
beats her. The stranger rebukes him
and points out the wrong he is doing,
and he is cured.
"The Simple Life" a Nestor COM
edy, and Their Parents" an Imp

are almost always monopolies. 1t i:
best that they should be monopolies
because under competition we woul6
have a wasteful and expensive dupli.
cation of service. Street car systems
waterworks, telephone, electric light
and gas systems should be and gen.
orally are monopolistic in their char.
acter.
But for the very reason that such
public utilities are essentially monop-
olistic in their character, there ought
to be some check against the natural
tendency toward fixing the monopoly
price for service-the point of the
highest net returns, as the political
economists say Yet the consumer is
not the person to fix fair rate at
which a monopoly must furnish SER
vice. There ought to be some tribunal
before which both the public utility
corporation and the consumer may be
heard and this tribunal ought to be
empowered to settle any controversy,
not only as to rates, but as to char
acter of service; and to prevent any
unfair discrimination.
We believe that with a small amount
of additional clerical force, the pres
ent railroad commission could be con-
verified into a public service commits
sion and could exercise the same su-
pervision over public municipal util-
tiles that they now have over rail-
roads and express companies. If the
need is properly presented to the next
general assembly there should be lit
tie difficulty in enacting the necessary
legislation.
