Utilities News Letter.

Denver, Colo, June 22.-The order
placing the rates of The Mountain
States Telephone and Telegraph Co.
upon an equitable basis in Colorado
has resulted in n newspaper campaign
of attack upon the Commission in
Denver. One of the principal effects
of the order was to establish such
rates that hereafter Denver will pay
its just proportion of the telephone
rates. From various angles certain
Denver newspapers are not only at
tacking the new rates established for
Denver, but also enleavoring to sup
port their arguments by making il
appear that there has been a general
increase in telephone rates throughout
the state. They refuse to publish any
thing with reference to adjustments
of rates which had for its purpose the
elimination Of the system of telephone
rates whereby Denver paid low rates
at the expense of the rest of the state.
The same critics make no adverse COM
ment on the big increase in railroad
freight. passenger and express rates
ordered by the federal government.
and do not mention the many in
creases in utility rates being allowed
by public service commissions in all
other states on account of tremendous
costs due TO war conditions.
The Denver campaign OF attack, in
attempting to make it appear that
general increase over the state is pro-
vided in the Commissions order. Is
disproved by the fact that in large
number OF the cities and towns the
order in no way changes the existing
rates, but, on the other hand, provides
an additional. new. low-prieed rate. In
the following cities and towns no
changes were made in rates but the
Commission directed the telephone
company to provide an additional A.
party residence rate at sls per year,
or 81 so per month.

Starvati0n's Victims.
Starvation has killed more of the
belligerents in this war than ammuni-
ton, according to figures received by
the food administration recently.
The death roll from starvation in
the warring nations since War drew
his sword contains 4,750,O00 names.
Those killed by fighting number 1885,
900.
1t was hunger which broke the Rus
sian morale. Rumania fought against
Germany at fearful odds until there
was no food. Underfed Italians aband-
oned their position on the Isonzo front
last winter, and not until heroic France
shared her already pitiful supply
with her Ally was the foe stopped.
All of Poland's children under seven
years old have been claimed by starry
ing Death.
And because of this the United
States food administration feels justi-
fled in continuing its campaign to save
food. to produce food, to send wheat,
beef; fats and sugar overseas, because
il food fails Victory will be killed.

price for beets or refuse to raise them.
The government price set on sugar
placed definite limit on amount fact
ories could pay for beets.
To satisfy the beet growers feder-
al commission was appointed to invest
igate and set price which it did
slightly higher than already offered by
companies, giving the farmers double
the price paid before the war.
The sugar companies accepted the
government price and made every eff
fort to secure increased acreage so
earnestly urged by the government,
but influence beyond control seemed to
be working against the sugar industry
and the result is that according to best
estimates sugar beet acreage will show
n marked decrease at a time when in
creased production was most essential.
One of the vests great industries
has suffered severely and several COM
munities, which will lose sugar fact
tories and others in which factories
will not operate will realize too late
that it is not the agitator who main
tains payrolls and pays taxes, but in
dustries whom the agitators attack.
incidentally many persons now real
'ize that the campaign against raising
sugar beets has been great aid to
Germany in cutting rather than in
creasing our beet sugar production at
this critical time.
Think it over.

Restrictions on beef consumption do
not apply to hearts, livers, and other
beef by-products, it was announced by
the federal food administration for
Colorado this week.
"These limitations on the serving of
beef do not apply to veal, mutton, or
lamb, which cannot be successfully ex-
ported" Robert j. Grant, executive
secretary of the food administration
further announced.
Contrary to the reports which have
appeared in some of the Colorado
newspapers, Herbert Hoover, in a
telegram to the Colorado food head
quarters stated that the beef in stor-
age had decreased from 346.OOO,OOO
pounds on January / to 227 900. 900
pounds June 1. OF this latter amount
over 1870 100000 pounds is in the pro-
cess of preparation and shipment to

What's In a Ships Name?

THE nomenclature of ships varies
l. with the nations involved. A writer
in "The New Statesman" (London) sug-
gests new scheme for England, writ
ing with tongue in cheek:
"a man told me the other day that in
Erasnus's lifetime there were two ships in
the British navy named sitter the sage.
This illustrates the gulf between two ages
as forcibly as anything could, and the abb
sence, four centuries ago, of those closed
compartments that make modern society so
sectarian To-day it wLud be unimagna-
BILE. II is true that the French, who habitu-
ally pay more official respect to learning
and letters than we do, have called battle
ship Victor Hugo, and that the Italians
have run to q Dante AlighieY. But those
great men were dead before it happened,
and in this country even the dead are out
Of the question. The Law of closed COM
partments operates; you can have a ship
called after a dead sailor. but you cannot
have H. NJ. S. Shakespeare.

When you read an account now OF naval
occasion you read something like:
