PUBLIC UTILITIES IN
 FIRST MOVE FOR AN INCREASE IN RATES

Added to the high cost of living there now comes the. high cost of deprecia- : --tion and also the high cost of ex- panslon, all of which is due to sweeten the original high cost of living quite appreciably, according to F. A. Jones, state corporation commissioner.
 representative of most of the utility companies in the state met with the commission in informal conference yesterday. The representa- ex- pressed desire to work out a uni form agreement on which to base for hhaI applications for an increase in rates, in particular claims being made that present depreciation provisions based on pre-war costs are inadequate 10 meet upkeep requirements at pres ent and probably future prices and also that additional installation ex- penses must be provided for as it can be foreseen now that the growth of the state is calling for greater de- livery capacities in all lines A total or So,OOO,000 is said to be necessary fog enlarglng the various utility plants in the state.
 The representatives, officially repre- sentinS the State Association of Public Y Itllites, were sent to the commission by the Globe Light and Power com
 
 company. Pacific Gas and Electric company, Flagstaff Electric company Blsbee Improvement company, Desert Power and Water company, Southside Gas and Light company, Arizona Power company, Bisbee Naco Water com pany, Yuma Gas, Light and Water com pany and Tucson Rapid Transit com pany. The Nogales, Douglas and Miami utility companies were not rep resented.
 The representatives maintain that all calculations on which the corporation commission bases it's rulings are worked out in accordance with figures and conditions prevailing prior to the war It is said that no particular de- sire exists to have calculations for the next 70 years or so based on present conditions, and it is agreed that ex- ueme care must be used in creating corporation statistics as bond buyers are apt to look far into the future and the utility companies of course must ] consider the future with the present | The big kick concerns the passing of l the past. The issue before the com | mission and the utilities representa- uves proved to be too great for inn mediate conclusions at yesterdays meeting.
 Various conditions came to prom:- nent mention yesterday particularly that of bond interest. It was shown that in 1914 utility bonds paid 6 per cent interest where they now pay or per cent. An annual amount of money provided in 1914 for 15-year depreciation period on a s100,000 Diesel engine, it was shown, would not buy new and adequate engine in 1929 at present prices.
 Just how much additional the util- ities companies must hit the con- sumers in order to break even is said to be impossible to estimate at this time, but belief is expressed that possibly the commission will agree eventually to 10 per cent increase in rates for utilities based on fuel opera -ions-Such as gas production and the production of electricity from steam as well as the furnishing of water pro- yided by fuef-operated pumps.

Some people say that tea Is bad for the nerves. They're right.
 Others say it is a gentle stimulant, and good for the nerves. They're right too.
 It all depends upon the kind of tea you drink.
 Common tea, with its large percentage of tannin, Is harmful to the stomach and nerves.
 Very little tannin in Schilling Tea, and you avoid that by not sleeping the tea too long. Then you get a pleasant, gently invigorating drink, that cheers and rests.
 Cheer and rest-that Is good for the nerves
 There are four davors of Schilling Tea-Japan, Ceylon India, Oolong, English Breakfast. All one quality. In parchsnyn-lined moisture proof packages. At grocers everywhere.
