new EXCHANGE TELEPHONE RATES
EFFECTIVE MAY |, 1919

A new schedule Of telephone exchange rates became
effective in Arcadia May by direction of the Operat'
ing Board Of the United States Telegraph and Tele.
phone Administration, acting under the order Of the
Postmaster Genera! of the United States.
As you know, all Of the lines and property Of this
company are in the possession, control and are be-
ing operated by the United States Government I'm.
der the direction of the Postmaster General of the
United States.
The new rates are necessary in order that addtionl
revenue may be secured by the government to meet
the increased operating expenses. The causes which
make greater telephone revenue necessary are due to
the new conditions and the price levels introduced
by the war and are entirely beyond the control Of the
United States Telegraph and Telephone Adminstra.
ton or Of the Telephone Company.
More than two years ago the Company foresaw
that the Telephone system would be operated at loss
unless the rate could BE- adjusted to meet the ncreas
ing costs Of all elements entering into the production
Of service. A similar rate adjustment would have
been unavoidable under private control and the new
rate schedule is practically the same we would have
sought in 1918 # the government had not taken pos.
session Of our property.
As stated by the Postmaster General the owners
Of the telephone system do not benefit in any way
from rate charges. Practically all of the increased
operating expenses which require this additional rev.
enue are due to increased wages paid to employees to
enable them to meet the new conditions Of life in the
present day.
1t is neither practicable nor desirable to reduce
wages and so far as wages are concerned we believe
chat portion Of the increased operating expenses to
be permanent
The new rate schedule is fair and reasonable and
the percentage of increased revenue which it will pro-
duee is much lower than the increased cost Of other
services and commodities of similar character.
Complete detailed information about the new rates
may be obtained at the managers office. Weare
making every effort TO change our records promptly
and your courteous consideration will be appreciated
The new rate for your service is shown on your state
ment for May1.

Swift and overwhelming emotions have

Then with breaking hearts I've heard
Of the one that will not come back
Then on that November day, the joyful
tiding that peace had come again to
America, we again sang:
God bless our men!
Send them safe home again,
God bless our men,"
All honor to our men that crossed

gone II they could. All honor to their
rare mothers and splendid fathers, who
daily went about the task Of keeping
the Home Fires Burning" We like
to think that our grown.up children
need us, that we must help them out
OF each trying situation. But "Oye,
There" so far from home and stand
ing all alone, they went out in tllos
early hours of the morning to face
death for you, and me. Can we low,
them enough? Can we honor them
enough to show them that we thank

LEGALITY OF TAX

stltutlon OF the State and or the United
states.
Both sides were allowed one hour and
a half for argument. MIR. Knowles was
the first 10 address the court.
Mr.. Knowles dwelt upon the lack OF
uniformity and lack OF equal protection
in the exemption provided In the law
for farmers lie cited numerous de-
his contention.
Deputy Atlorney-General Green was
the first to present the States argu-
ment. lie contended that "the state OF
Delaware. as sovereign state, Is pos
sassed with an inherent power To adopt
any scheme Of taxation that IL, through
It's law making body, may deem cN-
pedient"
lie further contonded that the SOW
ereign right TO adopt a given scheme OF
taxation includes an equal sovereign
right TO determine what exemption
shall be permitted
1T is respectfully submitted Mr..
Green continued. that the sovereign
right To adopt given scheme Of taxa
I tion includes an equal sovereign right TO
determine what exemption shall be per
mitied." Exemption, however, must be
reasonable, he said

for such exemption, but viii lead TO a
possible conclusion that If such eN-
lemptions had not been granted that the
tax would have been not only unequal,
but also inequitable." Mr.. Green held.
Attorney-G General Relnhardt, 10 the
first ground OF the demurrer that the
law Is unconstitutional. declared that
10 is constitutional, but went no FUR
iher because OF the generality OF the
ground.
The second count, that The law dis
eliminates, he argued that there Is no
discrimination as the act gives 20 every
member OF the class the same right TO
an exemption from taxation as 90 that
part OF his income derived from real
estate or profits from agricultural oper-
atiOns.

@IuE nAINRnw GIRL /.

Since the first great success OF the
radiant musical comedy "The Rainbow
Girl" nearly three seasons ago, in Phil
adelphia, the same company and cast
as nearly as is possible have been kept
together and have toured with the pro
duction.
Last season they gave a very sue
cessful engagement Of three days, al
the Playhouse, and this year they are
TO return again for another three days
commencing next Monday.
The RanbOw Girl" Is particularly
entertaining in its story. which Is
based on Jerome X. Jerome's success
ful comedy. which made a hit IN Eng
land as Fannie and the servant Prob
lem" and in New York repeated the
success as "The New Lady BaDtock.
The transformation TO The musical
comedy Of this lively little comedy
does not. however, detract from the
value OF the production as musical
comedy or lay too much stress on 2
story. The music and the lun thal
have made "The Rainbow Girl' famous
are in equal proportions and In fact
comedy is the predominant note OF inc
entire play.
The chief comedian is the we'll
known Billy B. Van, who is remember
ed from last season in the same pro
duction.
sydney Greenstreet is the second
comedian with his own peculiar Ainc
Of humOr.
Grace Walsh and Harry Benham are
ihe principals OF the story. They MAKE
a charming young couple and both car
sing and dance decidedly well.
There is also a chorus in "Ihe nam
how Girl" It Is well-nigh perfect OF
as nearly perfect as a chorus can Dc
made by youth, beauty agility clothes
and singing ability.
