MUST Be INCREASED
TO MEET EXPENSES

Mr.. F. r. Dunning, local manager OF
the Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone
CO.. gave out the following statement:
TIL" Federal Government assumed con-
troll Of the property nd business OF TINS
company on August l. 1918. Since That
time it has been operated under govern
mcnt supervision. The act of Congress
under which tho government took over
the control provided that the corporation
should hc paid II just compensation lor
the use of its property, and contract
was made covering this compensation.
This contract provides for the up,Kesp
OF the property. a continuance OF the
past high Grade Of service and the pay
mont of interest and dividends at the
Same rites as heretofore. Therefore.
The moneys now collected for telephone
service belong 10 the government.
But even under government control
there is no reason why the business
should be operated at loss. TO do so
means that a deficit must be paid out Or
taXntin1. At the rates now being
charged. there is not enough revenue 10
meet expenses and II is imperative tnat
the rates for local service be increased.
Tho telephone business just like the in
divduaI. has been suffering from stead
ly increasing costs. Every means pos
siblc has been applied 10 meet tins diff
ference between revenue and expenses
by economies but have reached the
point now where the business must nave
increased revenue II it is TO maintain
satisfactory service and not result IN
direct loss 10 tho government.
Every effort has been made towards
making the burden Of this increase fall
as lightly as positive upon the sub
scriber and the community. and as A
matter Of fact. the increased cost 10 inc

son with thc increased cost Of commodi-

In ordering the engrossment of the
workmen's compensation act, the
House has made a long stride toward
the passage of c%ontructive Legislation.
That the bill in it's present form is
far from perfect is generally conced-
ed, but it is at least a step in the right
direction along lines of needed legis-
lation which has been endorsed in both
the Democratic and the Republican
party platforms. The bill comes up
for third reading in the House on the
10Th of the present month, and judg-
ing from the vote it received on en-
g%rossment, is certain of final passage.
The principal provisions of the bill
are:
al Monopolistic state insurance;
that is, employers who do not carry
their own risks must insure the state,
By Maximum weekly compensation
to injured workmen eighteen dollars.
q Seven days must elapse between
the date of accident and the time CON-
pensation begins.
d) During the first four years all
jobs created by the act must be given.
to honorable discharged sailors, SOL
diers or marines.
e) The commission is bipartisan
two Democrats and two Republicans.
~ Injured employees may choose
their own physicians.
81 An appropriation of 100000 is
provided to carry out the provisions of
the act until the department becomes
self-sustaining.

A hay and straw inspection mea-
sure, which was twice defeated in
previous legislature, has now passed
the House. Under the provisions of
the bill fifteen new $2100-a-year jobs
are created. The money for these
salaries is to come from shippers of
hay and straw who will have to pay IN
inspection fee of fifty cents a car. If
the shipper is dissatisfied with the in
spection he may take his troubles to
an appeal board, appointed by the
chief inspector and the shipper pays
the bill, which is limited to S. on the
car. If the bill becomes a law the
hay and straw inspection comes under
the State Warehouse Commissioner,
Thos. Bradshaw, the present Ware
house Commissioner, who will then
have the power to jump the number of
his appointees from 100 to 115. Brad
shaw was appointed by Governor Ma
jor for a term of six years at a salary
of $4,000 and will probably be reap
pointed by Governor Gardner. 1t will
be remembered that Bradshaw put in
a claim for SOL for tips paid to wait
ers which Auditor Hackmann refused
to o. K, and in this the Auditor was
sustained by the Supreme Court.

The bill which makes provision for
a new constitutional convention seems
to be tied up in committee. The
Democrats say they are willing to in
corporate a provision which will give
Republicans and Democrats equal re
presentation. Under the present law
the Democrats would have a decided
advantage because the convention is
made up from Senatorial districts
which have been gerrymandered in the
interest of the Democratic party. Re-
publicans are asking that the present
Senatorial districts be fairly redis-
tricted while the Democrats are side
stepping the proposition by offering
equal representation in the convention.
In opposing a blanket endorsement
of a League of Nations the Republi-
can majority in the House took the
position of favoring a league to Sc
cure peace provided, "the traditional
policies of this government and the
sovereignty of our Nation and its Con-
stitution are not surrendered, abridg-
ed or restricted" In this position U.
S. Senator Spencer and the Republi-
cans of the House are perfectly
agreed. In a recent published state
ment Senator Spencer said: 81 am
now, as I have always been, heartily
in favor of a League of Nations to
lessen the chance of future war and to
promote peace in the world" but, he
adds, 81 do not want to surrender

Many men who have made a life

Many others are opposed to it

tons than Glenn E Plumb. There
fore his visit to this city offers
one OF the best opportunities Of

of the plan are urging that oppon-
ents of it especially make an ef-
fort to hear the talks Friday night,
