3 CENTS A MILE IS
NOT REALLY ENOUGH
SAYS COMMISSIONER

The Indiana Public Service com.
mission in authorizing the Terre
Haute, Indianapolis & Eastern Trac-
ton company to charge Scent fare,
Thursday, also authorized it to charge
for 40ride Communication book 25
times the full one-way fare, with a
minimum of 1926 for a single book
In the hearing on the T. H. I. & E.
case, the city of Greenfield insisted
that there was discrimination against
interurban passengers travelling in and
out of Indianapolis, created by a five
cent fare in the city limits. The COM
mission rules that the city of Green
field did not do more than point out
this condition; that it did not ask that
the issue be broadened, or that all
parties at interest be brought into the
question and that without all parties
at interest before it, and without
statutory notice, the commission is
without Jurisdiction to deal with the
situation. The commission believes
that the matter could best be deter
mined by a separate petition.
The commission kept a check on
service provided in March and April
by the petitioner. The Terre Haute,

Advanced Cost Of Coal.
E. l. Lewis, chairman Of the COM
mission, in commenting on the rate
eases, said:
1.-THE commission used as rate
basis. a valuation of $4,000 a mile
in all three cases, and holds that
tSuch a valuation is conservative. The
advanced cost of coal is the principal
cause of the necessity for fare read
ijustments, although the evidence also
revealed continued upward trend of
cost Of all other items of maintenance
and operation.
1.-THE evidence at various traction
hearings revealed that coal which ten
years ago, cost the traction companies
from 35 to so cents a ton at the
mines, according to market conditions,
land that was transported on freight
rates that ran from so cents to IS
cents, according to destination, is
hitting the high levels of approx.
mately a ton delivered.
"In case of the Terre Haute, Indi-
of coal is running 1853 900 more a year
than in 1919, and an increase of
25 per cent in freight rates, which it
is expected that the interstate COM
merce commission will authorize be-
fore September /. would add another
$35, 900. raising the total to $198,00O
over the high level Of 1918 costs of
coal.
THE net income of the Terre Haute,
Indianapolis & Eastern for 1919, was
6.8 per cent.
The finding is that the increased
cost of coal, labor, materials and sup
plies used in the maintenance and
operation of these utilities would, If
the present rates were continued, re-
duce the earnings to approximately
3 per cent or less.
New Rates Not Adequate.
The orders further indicate that
the advance from "a cents to cents
mile will not offset entirely the in
creased cost of coal. labor, materials
and supplies. The estimates are that

Over fifty years ago a young
physician practiced widely in a
rural district and became famous
for his uniform success in the
curing of disease. This was DIR.
Pierce, who afterwards estab-
lished himself in Buffalo, N. Y,
and placed one of his prescriptions,
which he called Golden Medical
Discovery" in the drug stores of
the United States so that the pub
lie could easily obtain this very
remarkable tonic, corrective and
blood maker. DIR. Pierce manu-
featured this Discovery" from
roots and barks "a corrective
remedy, the ingredients of which
nature had put in the fields and
forests, for keeping us healthy.
Few folks or families now living
have not at sometime or other used
this Golden Medical Discovery"
for the stomach, liver and heart.
.SSer twenty four million bottles
- this tonic and blood remedy
bs been sold in this country.

romance took place at Flint, Mich,

this city and Miss Estelle B. Pryor
were united in marriage at the home
Of the BRIDES sister, Mrs. R. C. Stone
of Flint.
Generally speaking q Wells Fargo
check Is q rather prosaic piece of pa
per, but Cupid must have guided the
one drawn in favor of Wallace Ster-
ling at Mankato during the war across
the broad Atlantic to sunny France.
This check reached the soldier boy
who was then returning with tn
Twenty third Engineers from the
front where he had taken part in
both Argonne and st. Mihiel drives
at La Mons. He was in need of
money, but no one in that French
town in the fighting zone wanted to
cash the Americans check Finally
one OF his comrades suggested that
he visit the Y. NJ c. A hut in the
Yankee division which was stationed
at that town. AS Wallace stepped
OF the distance to the hut over the
shell holes he little dreamed that he
was walking to meet his life partner,
and the lady who will share his joys
and sorrows all through life, but he
did. The sweet faced American girl
