A general spread of sentiment in
favor of removing bonds of race and

over our country" The necessity for

GAS COMPANY
CUTS OVERHEAD
COST TO BONE

City officials were informed today
that an order had been received from
general offices in New York by N. H
Johnson, manager OF the Richmond
Light. Heat & Power company, to cut
down the company's overhead" ex.
penses to the bone.
This report substantiated the con
tention advanced by the administra.
tion before the Indiana Public Utili.
ties commission during the gas rate
hearing that the Light. Heat & Power
company had been operating for some
time at an unnecessary expense and
that If the company's operating ex.
penses were trimmed down to a nor.
NAL basis a minimum gas rate not
exceeding fifty cents would be suffi-
cient to prov ide reasonable profits for
the company.
Says Payroll "Padded'
City Attorney Bond In his argu.
ments before the commission asserted
that the company had been operating
at an expense Of at least $4,000 a
year more than required to conduct
its business and insisted that this
policy was alone to blame for the
failure of the company to show fair
return upon the investment
The city attorney informed the
commission that the Light, Heat &
Power company's payroll was "padd-
cd" and, it is understood, the order
just issued from the general offices
in New York requires decided re-
duction in the l.. H. 4 P.'s payroll
With a minimum gas rate of 10
cents and operating expenses again
reduced to normal basis city offici-
ais contend that the company's profits
the insuing year will be much great
er than had been anticipated by the
state commission.

William F. McCombs, his campaign
manager, in 1912, and Judge Samuel

itor who, in all innocence, asked for
German fried potatoes, and very near
ly had to defend himself from person
al violence at the hands of a squad
of Infatuated walters, who insisted that
Holland potatoes were the only kind

and that there was something damn

For months after the capture of
Liege passage across the frontier was
a fairly easy matter. Then the Dutch
Government, which has prohibited the
export of many articles and is much
exercised to prevent smuggling, began
to tighten it's frontier guard, and the
Germans began series of measures
designed to keep the Belgians in Bel
GUM, and everybody else out. Today
farmers and tradesmen living near the
frontier can get passes across it, If
favorably known to the authorities.
But without definite and approved bust

across the thoroughfare. Your cab
