GRANTS PHONE COMPANY
RATE INCREASE
Union Grove Branch Applies to State
Railway Commission for Raise in
Price and Secures it.

The Union Grove Telephone Company
which serves 603 subscribers in Union
Grove and vicinity, many of them in
the western part Of Kenosha county,
applied on October 10Th to the railroad
commission for authority to increase
its rate, alleging that its present rev
enues were inadequate to meet operat-
ing expenses, and interest and depreci-
alton. In addition to securing toll
service over the lines of the Wisconsin
Telephone Company, the Union Grove
exchange is connected to number Of
villages in the immediate vicinity by
locally owned toll lines, charging FIVE
cents per message toll for all calls over
these lines.
The commission in an order issued
this week authorizes an increase in the
rates. 1t finds that owing TO the high
cost of materials the company has post
poned necessary reconstruction and
maintenance work, which now can not
be longer postponed. In reaching its
conclusion as to the amount Of income
the company would require, therefore,
the commission has taken the revenues
for the past two years and also the
needed outlay for reconstruction and
maintenance. It also takes into CON
sideration the fact that the company IS
revenues will be diminished to the
amount of $1,000 through the discon-
tinuance of other line charges which it
previously had in effect on toll messag-
es coming to it from the Wisconsin Tel
ephone Company.
What the company asked for in it's
application was a rate schedule which
would increase its revenues $4,000.
The commission finds that such increase
is not necessary and authorizes a SEIZED
ule bringing about one-half that in
crease, Following is the schedule au-
thorized: Business, 1-party, 1926 net;

Monument TO Deceased Members,
Both Soldier and Civilian.

To erect monument in honor of its
deceased members, both soldier and
civilian, was the unanimous decision Of
the Rocca Bernardo Society at its meet
ing in Garibaldi Hall, loo Newell street

while serving as a private. His body
was brought to Kenosha and inferred
in the society lot in st. Georges GEM
etery.
The meeting Sunday afternoon was
presided over by an ex-service man,
Guy Garrusa, who was reelected right
after his return from eleven months Of
services In France.

WILL NOT HAVE TO MOVE.
Old Soldiers Have Lease on Present
Quarters to January 1921 and will
Not Have to Vacate

Members of the Fred S. Lowell post,
Grand Army of the Republic, are feel
ing much easier over meeting place
than they did last week, At the I'M
stallation on Monday evening it was
thought probable that that would be
the last meeting the old soldiers would
be allowed to hold in the hall as the
property in which the meetings are
held has changed hands. But on look
ing the matter up it has been ascer-
tanned that their lease for their present
quarters does not expire until January
of 1921.

the theft of twenty gallons of ice cream
from the Schmitt candy store on Main

sweet meats had led him to take the ice
cream which he managed to distribute
among friends.

Of course if fellow came to this
country from England and feels that
he likes Picadilly better than Broad
way or Market Square, there is no
strings to keep him from racing right
back to dear old London. The boats
are running conveniently out of New
York and there are shorter cuts through
Canada. The idea is that this is an
America for Americans. IF you feel
that you can't live up to this idea
the really proper thing is to get out
and make room for people who can.

Don't crowd gentlemen: There will
be plenty of time for all candidates
for city offices to get their petitions
circulated. The easiest thing in con
nection with any campaign is to get
names enough to get a candidate on
the primary ballot. Some times It is
a lot harder to get votes enough to put
his name on the business end of ccrs
tificate of election.

MUST REDUCE IDLENESS

Price reduction will go a long way toward reducing the cost of living, but price cutting is not the only thing.
 There must also be a reduc- ton of idleness and a speeding up of productions There are too many "slow orders" in ef- feet among the ranks of work CTS. Two men are often doing less work than was formerly done by one, yet receiving wages doubly higher. Reduc- ton of commodity prices can not overcome the effect of this on the cost of living nor can the prices of commodities or cost of living be brought to a proper level until this wasteful and shameful condition is cor rected.
 If we are to return to pre- war prices one of two things is necessary-production per unit must rise or wages must fall.
 Nobody wants wages re- duced that are honestly earn ed, but if workers do not ren- der an honest days work for a ful days pay they must pre- pare to suffer the cosequences of their dereliction.
 The great masses of the peo- pie believe in a square deal and they will not long endure a burden resulting from high wages and low production when knowing that such result is directly caused by men loaf ing on the job.

THE ELECTION.

The county, state and na- tion was captured at Tues days election by the repub- licans. From Maine to Cali fornia, and from the Cana dian border to Atlanta, Ga, the present.. home .of Debs, one of their opponents who conducted his campaign on inside information Hard ing and Coolidge swept the political plate clean.
 Arizona flopped into the republican column and al- most, if not all the demo- cratic candidates in the state, were defeated includ- ing Wiley Jones and ". E. Beck.
 It was the grand finale of the League of Nations, Cox ey's army and the state land board.
 May they rest in peace.
 Present returns indicate a gain of from twelve to twen- ty seats in the senate, and the republicans will have a majority of almost two to one in congress. This will facilitate in a large measure the carrying out of the promised plans of the Ari- zona senator to shift many millions of government mon ey to Arizona-and there will be nothing to the de- tails of the job except to count the money when it comes-when it comes.
 We do not wish to be pre- mature in fixing up Hard ing's cabinet, but Senator Cameron would surely make mighty good timber for the berth of Secretary of the Treasury, and the appoint ment would also be pleasing to a long trail of his political friends in Arizona for then he could just invite Arizona to help herself.

INDUSTRY FINDS A WAY

As conditions change enter prising industry changes to meet them. Private enterprise is ever on the alert to antiCi- pate the needs of the times,
 With its monthly output of electrolytic zinc increasing to about II,oo8,ooo Pounds the Anaconda Copper Go. has ex- pandel this department of its business to a point where 1t compares favorably with the present rate of copper produc- tion which has been cut to about 40 per cent of normal. Its zinc output has been stead fly growing since the war.
 It will be some time before Anaconda becomes a factor in Production of phosphate rock, but with the fulfihnent of the arrangements plans there will be placed on the market a su-. per-phosphate in large quanti- ties.
 It is believed that the Far East offers a good field for the marketing of phosphate rock and Anaconda, with its loca- tion near the Pacific Coast, could offer its produce at prices which Eastern producers would find 1t difficult to meet.
 Thus does industry maintain payrolls and keep the wheels turning. Far sighted policies and progressive management enables industry to absorb the slack in one line by expanding Tn another. The average citi- zen does not realize this to a sufficient extent.

REASON FOR PROSPERITY

Why is the state of Califor- mia securing millions of capi- tai for the development of her public utilities Not only from her own citizens but millions are coming from outside and foeign investors for building her great hydro-electric plants.
 Why are the banking inter- ests of Californa solidly back of the various utility enter prises that are well managed in compliance with state laws and under public direction and regulation? There Is a reason and 1t is of profound interest to all other states"
 It is because the safety of the various utility securities is assured by intelligent and pro- e-ressve state policies outlined and carried into effect by the State Railroad Commission intelligent regulation guaran- teeing earnings and adequate reserve funds.

 The above opinions are ex- pressed by Cyrus Pierce, head of one of the firms selling west ern utility securities. In an an- swer before the last State Bankers Association at Lake Taho, MT. Pierce made this statement:
 "The high credit that is en- ioyed by the California Utility Companies is largely due to the courage and strong back bone of the California Rail road Commisson which, since the beginning of our financial troubles has stood firm with out regard to public clamor
