TELEPHONE RATES CUT
TO PRE-WAR. SCHEDULE
Pennsylvania Patrons to Profit 20
Per Cent by Order of Pub
lie Service Body.

HARRISBURG. Pa, Nov. 2S.-The
Public Service Commission has re-
fused the application of the Bell Tele-
phone Company for permission to
keep the Federal rates in effect after
December /. The company Is ordered
to return to the rates fixed by the
commission for service in Pennsyl-
vania in 1917. These will expire
April ], 1920. The subscribers will
oeneit to the extent of 20 per cent.
The commission in its decision says
II was wise provision in the public
service law that contemplated three
years repose" following orders for
utility companies rates and service
and that the evidence as to the finan-
cial condition and prospective reven-
nues submitted by the company in the
light OF prevailing circumstances is
not sufncient to convince the COM
mission OF the necessity of the in
crease prayed for nor of the iustness
or reasonableness of the proposal to
advance the applicants rates above
those which were in effect prior to
the period of Federal control"
The decision says it would not be
warranted in basing a conclusion on
the conjecture that higher cost OF
operation and service than those
which have already bee reached will
be the experience OF this comnanv
To so decide would in a sense fore
close the rights of the rate-payinR

RUM OWNERS FACE
LOSS OF MILLIONS
Government Likely to Be De-
prived of Tax on 100000
Gallons in Bond.

NEW YORK. Nov. 2s.-Wholesale
liquor dealers and distributors face q
loss running into hundreds of millions,
because of the Governments failure to
terminate wartime prohibition. there
by enabling them to dispose of ap-
proximately 70,000.00 gallons Of
whiskey now stored in bonded ware
houses, according to Charles leopold
chairman OF the board of directors of
the Family Liquor Dealers Protective
Association and a member Of the allied
committee.
Mr.. Leopold declares it is an eco
nomic problem for which some solution
must be found Immediately. Not alone
do the dealers and distributors face
tremendous losses, he says, but the
Government itself. through Its failure
to provide a means of disposing OF the
accumulated stock, stands to lose mil
lions in taxes.
Can't Sell 1t All.
Even should wartime prohibition
be terminated tomorrow, it would be
physically impossible for the dealers
and distributors to dispose of their
stock by January 1S" Mr.. Leopold
said. 1T probably would take four
to five months to dispose of the sup
ply now on hand. The longer the ban
exists the less become the chances of
the dealers warding of this disastrous
| loss
These dealers have millions OF Col-
| lars tied up in the stock. 1t is money
lying idle. They already have suffered
heavy losses and now are confronted
with the possibility, / should say
probability, of losing it entirely. Un.
less something is done Immediately
| they will not recover a penny of tt"
While Il virtually Is impossible to
ascertain the exact amount OF whis,-ey
now held in bonded warehouses. be-
cause of the process Of evaporation
| continuously going on, Mr.. Leopold
gave 70,00o,000 gallons as a conserva-
tive estimate. Before the volstead
law became operative whiskey was
I selling for approximately s12 a sal
Ion, of which $40 represented the
Government tax. Therefore the whis-
key now bonded is worth nearly $780,
900 900 more than half of which would
be the Governments revenue IL IL
| were placed on the market for sale.
Six Hundred In Association
The Family Liquor Dealers Retaa
Association has membership Of 500
dealers, who control approximately
10000 barrels of whiskey now held
under bond. 1t costs them 81 a month
to keep each barrel stored, Mr.. Leo
pold declares, and its removal from
the distillery to the warehouse, in
cluding the distiller's tax. cost S2.S5 a
barrel. These barrels contain about
forty gallons each, which would :, We
their contents a marketable value of
$3.50, including the Government tax.
Mr.. Leopold asserts the liquor deal
ers and distributors are alarmed over
the situation facing them. A vigorous
appeal soon will be made to President
Wilson to lift the ban on the sale Of
Intoxicating liquors. 20 that this sur
plus stock may be disposed of. Should
this request not be granted Mr.. Leo
pold says an effort will be made,
through the next Congress, to have
the dealers and distributors compen-
sated by the Government for the
losses they will suffer through the
advent of constitutional prohibition.

Little Lad
Lee Coulling

I've something to tell
you. little lad,
Something that's wise
and true.
Life's full of failure, lit
tie lad,
And of disappointments,
too.
So when your drum is
broken,
Or your big best ball is
lost,
Just think of all the
bigger boys
Out in the snow and
frost.
And when you've fallen
and bumped your head,
Or mother says, "Tis
time for bed"
Don't screw up your face
and begin to bawl,
Why, little lad, that
won't do at all.
But clinch your fists and
grind your jaw.
Pretend you're a soldier
straight from the war.
And don't let one mourn
full tear
Come trickling down
your nose, lad dear.
