P.ARIs,---To q deputAtion of the Paris Municipal Council. which waited on him to congratulate him on his re covery from the bullet wound of the assassin Cottin, Premier Clemenceau said:
 "As soon as the peace problems have been solved and my task is done shall take a rest we'll earned by half century of politics, In my re. tirement I intend to write a book Nobody, peshaps, will read it. but it will give me pleasure to write it." M Glemenceau paid a short visit to the Senate and Was at once sur- rounded in the Salle des Conferences by number of senators anxious to congratulate him on his return to ac- tive work. The Prime Minister was quite himself again, vivacious, humor- ous, caustic.
 Did you feet the bullet when it struck you?" asked some one.
 why, feet it stirf, since it is still in me" replied M. Clemenceal, add. ing "The bullet struck me near the spine. where the neck begins, and l felt pain in my chest. It travelled around the aorta and lodged above the lung"
 A senator remarked: You've had everything in the way of experience in your career" and M. Clemenceau replied; Tt is not over yet; there Is, perhaps, more in store for me-" Then turning to the portlv Senator Gaston Dounll sde, lie added: If I had been as stout as you l should have been done for" to which M. Dou. mergue retorted, "Stoutness will come with old age"

Financial Condition and
Operation of the Pierce
County Telephone Company

A very thorough analysis of the
operation and financial condition of
the Pierce County Telephone Com
pany which operates four exchanges
one each in River Falls, Ellsworth,
Roberts, and Spring Valley, is made
in the decision and order of the
Railroad Commission issued this
week. Nearly year ago the COM
pany filed a petition asking to have
a valuation made of its property and
an adjustment of its schedule in
order primarily to eliminate much
free service between the various ex-
changes and to provide a schedule
of exchange rates. The Commission's
work upon the case covers a-period
of several months and the last public
hearing was held June 9 at River
Falls. The Commission found the
reproduction value of the company's
property to be $126, AGO and the re-
production cost less depreciation to
be $65,447. Figuring depreciation
at lower rate than that fixed by
the company and fair return upon
the required amount on operation in
1918 about $4,000
But increase in salaries and wages
and the added increase required by
the Industrial Commissions order,
if there were no change in the rates,
would run the company behind over
$4100 for 1919. In the adjustment
of rates then this $4100 had to be
provided for and it could not be
provided for by a horizontal raise,
because there was lack of uniform,
ity in rates which would only be
perpetuated by such a raise. The
increase in rates then required in
in some cases such as business rates
a material advance, while rural rates
could be changed but little.
Another serious problem involved
in the adjustment was the matter of
toll rates. The company owning
four exchanges had from the first
permitted a large amount of free
service between the exchanges. This
had to be worked out on an equitable
basis. Where such important changes
in schedule as this order involves
is made, it is quite possible that
some further changes will be
necessary, after the new schedule
has been in effect long enough to
prove what revenue it will produce.
Following are the schedules for the
four exchanges:

may go up to eighty cents or a dollar

Congress is not apt to sit idly by
and see coffee prices run up to ex-
allied figures. An investigation is
probable. There are no signs of any
effective action by executive officials.

doubted therefore that representatives of the steel and
workers will have any with their announced
intention Of trying place their case in the hands Of Mr.
Wilson than they had when they tried to talk it over man
fashion. with Judge Gary
would be good thing for the country as whole and
for the steel and iron workers. too. if they could see Mr.
Wilson though it is extremely doubtful that he could
do anything Undoubtedly he would talk to them along
the line he took the statement he issued the pub
lie when he answered the demands Of the railway shopen
and it is apparent the administration is doing all
that it with the facilities and authority that congress
has far provided to lower the price of living that position
is impregnabe far the wage demand is concerned.
However that almost Insignificant part of the grew
ances which the steel workers ask to have remeded The
really serious feature Of this controversy is the demand
that the Steel corporations concede the right of collective
bargaining and abolish the company unions 1t is difficult
to how the President in an official way can take cogni-
zance of such matters.
When the country actually at war the aminstra-
ton took the position that in the interest of maintaining pro-
duchon nigh scale public policy demanded that the
right OF collective bargaining be conceded Doubtless Mr.
Wilson still believes that this the better policy but is
longer possol. for him TO think of forcing upon the
country, matter how much he. along with most other
people who have given it serious thought may believe in
it as an industrial principle.
But even if there is no way in which Mr. Wilson may
take UP tie grievance of the steel workers prior to an open
breach he will be better able to form correct judgments
if the worst comes if he should see the men now and talk
with them He ought at least to be able to per-
suade them not to strike until every other method of bring
ing about satisfactory settlement has been tried

CONGRESS AND THE PRICE WAR

q GOVERNORS of the states are lining up now in the
~ fight to lower the cost of living and yesterday six
state executives and lieutenant governor were in con-
ference with Attorney General Palmer at Washington.
Before they left they pledged him the full cooperation Of
the machinery Of their state governments in the effort to re-
store normal price level.
Other governors have already been doing much to assist
and it becoming apparent that the present drive is the
real thing. The only dcouragng element about it is the
delay in congress In spite of the urgency of the matter
that body proceeding with the deberatencss which was
exasperatns during the early days of the war; and
the present instance that time every day lost in con-
sress will make ultimate that much more difficult
There movements foot 10 reform and modemize
pretty much everything this country except congress- and
yet every time that body undertakes really big Job is
apparent that very much in need of reforming. The

really efficient body reform go farther than that and
there be complete reorganization of the committee
