Suggestion by Attorney.

In his argument before the commission
yesterday Attorney ]. J. Darlington for
the company insisted that the valuation
appeal did not interfere with the COM
missions right to increase the rate. He
also stated that if the higher rate sought
should prove to be too remuneratiye the
commission could charge the excess profits
against the company next year and reduce
rates accordingly.
In his closing argument Mr.. Syme
criticised Mr.. Darlington for what he
termed the attorneys inconsistency in
appealing from the valuation while at the
same time asking that the valuation be
recognized for the purpose of making
rates.
Mr.. Syme said that Congress- while
it had authorized the public utilities
commission to make a valuation of the
property of the gas company, yet
seemed to feel, as the work of valua-
ton was necessarily slow. that the
people should be afforded the relief of
should have been made by the com
mission upon which rates could be sat
isfactorily and justly established. The
commission had made such a valua-
tion, he continued, but the gas COM
pany had seen fit to appeal from it,
and. while this appeal was pending
came before the commission and asked
IT to establish rates upon the very
valuation which it was at this moment
seeking TO oyerturn. He said that the
gas company insisted that it was en-
titled to rates which would net a re-
turn OF 10 per cent, and asserted that
If rates were fixed which netted a
smaller return the company would be
in position to attack the rates in
the same way as it was now attack
ing the basis upon which the rates
We're asked TO be computed.

THE SERVICE STAR
A 5-Part Goldwyn Picture Featuring
Mddge Kennedy

Too much cannot be said Of "The
Service Star" the picture to be
shown at the Sugg tonight. OF ex-
treme timellness, the theme Of the

household in America today. In
spite of its title, 1t is not only a
war play, but rather a drama of the
national draft. Madge Kennedy, the
star of the play, is thorough artist
in everything she attempts. Her
methods are as sure as though she
had spent her life on the screen and
the wide range of her gifts is ap-
9arent in every part she plays. No
aoner had she made her screen de-
Dut than she was acclaimed the find
Of the season, her inimitable per-
sonality emitting her Immediately to
rank with the favorites of many
years standing Her daintiness and
refinement coupled with genuine his
toric talent, give her a place among
screen luminaries second to none.

pointed out. would have brought the
claimant under the compensation act.
Mr.. Norton while delivering coal for
the Day company fell under wagon

compensation as an employee and was
denied II because, it was said, he
hauled with his own team when he
pleased at so much per ton and was

Norton was awarded compensation by

"there was no requirement as to be-
ginning work or Of continuing work TO
any particular hour of the day. Nor

This decision is Of especial interest
In the larger cities of the state where

average in Iowa is but 31.0S, and Mis-
