FIGHT AGAINST
new PHONE PAY
PLANNED AGAIN
Mayor WIN Work in Conjunction
With Moline Officials in Pc
titiOn Against Raise.

Increased rates of the Central
Union Telephone company will be
suspended if the intentions Of the
city officials of Rock Island and
Moline are carried.
Mayor Schriver said this morn
ing that he was prepared to fight
the increased rates as soon as pos
sible. Now, he said, the commits
sion is engaged in connection with
the street car strike and fare in
crease propositions Reminding of
all payments so far made toward
the increase and as installation
fees will be asked.
There is some doubt as to when
action can be officially taken by the
Illinois state public utilities COM
mission suspending or confirming
rates.
The telephone officials contend
that present rates cannot be
changed until within four months
after today, when control of the
lines has been released from the
postmaster generals department
It is held by the state utilities body
that If the commissions orders are
valid, the companies will revert to-
day to the old schedules in force
before an increase was allowed by
the federal government.
Petition Soon.
Whether or not action can be
taken Immediately, the city COM
mission will not lose much time in
submitting a petition to the state
body asking that the old rates be
again put into effect.
A resolution was adopted by the
city commission Immediately after
the rates were established June II
protesting against the increase.
The resolution met with approval
of the state board but no action
was possible at the time in lower
ing the rates.
Now, the city commission is in
vestigating the question thoroughly
and is prepared to strenuously
fight an increase at the first pos
sible opportunity.
Other Matters Laid Over.
Other matters aside from those
affecting, the strike situations have
been temporarily laid aside.

munication from the zone supply

The securing and sale of the
foods will be taken up again as
soon as circumstances permit.
The city has also desisted from
taking immediate action in closing
Second avenue to street car traffic
as was contemplated in a warning
to the Tri-City Railway company to
repair the wood paving blocks in
that avenue two weeks ago. The
company has been given more time
to act 1t was first contemplated to
close the avenue last Saturday, but
inability of the company officials
present at that time to take proper
action during the absence of GER
tain other officials provided the
company another opportunity for
delay.

For itching Torture

There is one remedy that seldom
fails to stop itching torture and relieve
skin irritation and that makes the skin
soft, clear and healthy.
Any druggist can supply you with
Zemo. which generally overcomes all
skin diseases. Eczema, itch, pimples,
rashes, blackheads in most cases give
way to Zemo. Frequently, minor blem-
ishes disappear over night. Itching u.s.
ually stops instantly. Zemo is a safe,
antiseptic liquid, clean, easy to use and
dependable. 1t costs only 35c; an ex-
ira large bottle, S1.O0. It will not stain,
IS not greasy or sticky and is positively
safe for tender, sensitive skins.

The Republican national chairman
doesn't talk candidates. He talks
party solidarity. Unless the Republi-
can party is unit it will not be able
to put through a constructive program
in the next two years because time
will be lost in chickering's and squab-
bles. Unless there is harmony the
Democrats party, which is united,
will take advantage of the discussions
and divisions. AS a party of opposi-
ton the Republicans are inclined to
be pleased with themselves. They
claim to have been the real war party
during the war, Notwithstanding that
the Democratic party controlled the
government. They insist that by per-
sistently shouting about more vigor-
Gus prosecution of the war and en-
largement of the army they blazed the
way to victory and set the pace for
the dominant party
Now as the peace treaty is being
wrought the suggestions Of Mr.. Knox
and Mr.. Root for compulsory arbi-
tration and prevention of the Mon
roe Doctrine are looked upon as stra-
logically sound moves to which the
Republican party may hope to point
with pride when the not far distant
days of pointing with pride come to
pass.

SMALL FARMS FAVOR
INVESTIGATION

On the Minidoka irrigation project
in Idaho, diversification has been
most widely practiced on the small
intensively operated farms. The farm
unit of this territory was originally
80 acres, and even some of these
tracts have been divided as a con-
sequence of the popularization of in
tensive systems of livestock hus-
bandry. Despite the fact that the
prices of butter fat in that part of the
country have recently declined, dairy
ing is still prospecting and farmers are
buying more and better cows. The
maintenance of small flocks of sheep
or herds of hogs as profitable side
lines On the average dairy farm OF
this irrigation belt has become rather
common practice and has aided ma
terially in increasing the average farm
income.

Palmer Declares Peace

Attorney General Palmer doesn't
seem to count the fact that we are
not at peace with Germany. Several
sedition charges against magazine
writers indicted under the &C: ionage
act have been dismissed, Mr.. Palmer
having suggested that the ends OF
justice would thus best be served in
view of hostilities with Germany
having ended 1t would appear on
the surface, at least, that whether
hostilities had ceased or not should
have no effect on these cases. The
result should rest ON whether or not
the indicted persons are guilty. Just
because the "war is over" is no sign
their seditious utterances did no harm
before the armistice was signed
Such action on the part of the attor-
ney general is bad example to sci
for the future.
