NEW PHONE RATES EFFECTIVE.
Despite Efforts of States to Regulate the
Prices.

Washington, D. c., Jan. 2l.-New toll
and long distance Telephone rates ap.
proved by Postmaster-G General Burleson
will become effective at midnight to-
night except in those states where tenn
porary restraining orders against the
companies have been issued by the courts,
This announcement was made last night
by w II. Lamar, solicitor Of the post
Office department and a member of the
federal wire control committee.
Mr.. Lamar had said during the day
that the rates would become effective
despite efforts of state registory bodies
to suspend or modify them. So far a.
the postoffice department had been ad-
vised last night, he said, restraining or
ders have been issued in only two states
Indiana and Mississippi. He said he
had not been informed that courts in
Illinois had taken similar action.
The federal court at Pensacola, Fla,
is the only court in the United States
that has held full hearings and rendered
decision on an application for an in
junction, Mr.. Lamar said, and its de.
cision yesterday denied the restraining
order. He added that the court at Lin
coin, Neb., also has held hearing, but
has not yet rendered decision.
Under the new rates as announced

tria- Hungary, and possibly Germany, a
further relaxation of the blockade to
permit the importation of limited guam
titles of raw materials. These imports,
however, would not be enough to permit
the central powers to resume information
al commercial competition which the al
lied countries are still laboring under
the handicap of the devastation of their
chief industrial regions, the spoilation
of industrial plants, abe transformation
of the great bulk of their factories into
war plants and the absence of. labOrers
who are still under arms. The manu-
facture of textiles, for example, is ur-
gently required to meet the needs of enc
my populations and the production Of
other materials is held to be absolutely
Indispensable This would, it is said, ia
cilitate relief measures and alleviate
conditions of unemployment upon which
bolsheyism thriyes, particularly in Hun
gary.
The problem Of trade restrictions on
neutraIs, as a part of the enemy block
ade, also is under consideration. There
is a disposition in American quarters to
permit expectation of most raw mate
rails used in industries in such quantl-
ties as are required TO meet the demands
of home consumption This demand will,
it is said, largely prevent serious exports
from neutrals to adjacent enemy coun-
tries.

REVENUE or STATES
INTERFERED WITH
Gov Sproul of Pennsylvania Said That
the Incomes on Which the States
Depend Are Constantly
Narrowing.
Narrowing.

Harrisburg, Pa, Jan. q. -- Governor
William c. Sproul, who assumed Office
to-day, said in his inaugural address
that the federal tax collector is en-
croaching so deeply into the fields shith-
erto reserved for states revenues that
the question Of funds for state purposes
is becoming serious. Pennsylvania, he
said, is paying about one-siXth of the
entire cost of the administration of the
United States government. Last year, he
added, the state contributed in federal
taxes almost six hundred millions OF
dollars, and this year the federal levy
upon Pennsylvania viii be approximate
~ one billion dollars, if the revenue bill
now before Congress becomes a law. This
sum- he said, is almost equal to the az
gregate amount raised by the common
wealth for state purposes in all the l2s
years since the state was organized.
Pennsylvania does not complain I'M
der the burdens which she is bearing. -
the governor said. "She is proud to have
the disposition and the substance to
render such notable service to the repub-
lie and to the world. But with our share
so large in our national undertakings,
we may BE pardoned care that our
funds contributed without stint to the
| federal purse should not be wasted in
incompetent administration nor scat
tered over the world in chimercal enter
prises without practical purposes.
"The people OF Pennsylvania realize
that all sacrifices must be made TO pay
the great debts we have incurred in saw
ing civilization and democracy, but they
feel that some plans must be devised for
discharging these debts and providing for
our own reconstruction and Teadiust-
ment before we embark upon new inter
national adventures in the uncharted
seas of idealism and which may bring
down upon our devoted ship of state the
burdens of all mankind. Let us put our
own house in reasonably good order be-
fore ventming too far in regulating the
rest of the world"
The governor, who has many financial
interests in eastern and other states,
speaking on labor and business, said:
"The federal government should re-
lease its stranglehold upon private en-
terprises and withdraw its persistent
and repressive reign of every CONNER
cial activity"

MONTPELIER

| Deputy Sheriff II. G. Lawson, accom-
panied by Deputy A. A. Emery, went to
| MiddleseX Monday afternoon and brought
the most Of the Companion family to
/ the Montpelier city court on different
charges, and A. j. Companion, father of
the family, pleaded guilty to neglect and
abuse of his children, which included fail
ure to take care of them by not proyid-
ing enough bedding of any description to
cover them at night time, lack of house
hold equipment to give them proper care,
and general neglect of the children. He
agreed that he had not given them prop
er attention and was given a sentence of
not less than four months nor more than
two years in the house of correction, after
which he was placed on probation with
provision that the board of charities and
probation may visit and inspect his
house at any proper time of day. The
five children were then placed in the Gus
tody of the board of charities, so that
they might have better care and were
left, at least for the present, in the fam
lily, to give the parents chance to care
for them. There was also another arrest
to follow, but this matter was cleaned
up IN another manner satisfactory to the
court and the probation department, so
that the allegation that had been made
relative to certain conditions, it is ex-
pected, will be removed within the next
few days.

by Mr.. Burleson there will be basic
charge of six and quarter mills mile
airplane mileage, with half the day rate
for night service up to midnight and one
fourth of the day rate between that hour
and 4:30 o'clock in the morning.
The new charges were recommended in
the first report of the committee on
rate Standardization and Mr.. .Burleson
said their effect would be to equalize
the toll and long distance charges over
the country. In many instances rates in
certain localities win be increased and
this fact led to efforts of some state reg
ulatory bodies to prevent the new SEIZED
ule from beingNput into effect. General
", however, there will be a reduction in

TO ASSIST cLEMENcEAU.
French Chamber of Deputies Plans to
Appoint Committee on Peace.

Paris, Jan. 2l.-Premier Clemencesu,
having appealed to the Chamber of Dep
uties to cooperate in the task Of max
ing peace, Maurice Damour, supported by
100 deputies, has introduced motion in
the Chamber for the appointment of a
committee on the subject TO give its opin-
ions on various matters and to prepare
reports for submission to the Chamber
BY this method, NJ. Damour points out,
the Parliament would be kept in close
touch with the negotiations and would
afford the negotiators needed moral sup
port The Chamber thus also would be
able to study the preliminaries of the
peace before they were submitted for
ratification.
