MILFORD WELL
 TAKEN CARE OF

Milford, July 26-No excitement in regard to the trolley situation seems to prevail in Milford, Commuters, in many cases trolleyed to New Haven, where they could get trains, but the majority seemed to have used the buses.
 The police authorities here stated that they have had no trouble what ever with the traffic. The jitneys seem to be moving on schedule time, and the commuters had very little trouble in reaching Bridgeport.

A BABY'S PRAYER

Hands clasped upon the counterpane A sleepy little frowsy heap Of baby said his prayers again; Now I lay me down to sleep" So to their slumbers infants go, So thru the early shadows creep Murmuring softly, sweetly low; q pray the Lord my soul to
 keep"
 And so, wherever babies pray, Wherever mothers crosses make, They whisper, at the close of day: 'If 1 should die before I wake What though an evil, like a wrath, Make the peoples mourn and na-
 tions quake?
 Evil shall flee from childish faith: q pray the Lord my soul to takep' God, give me faith that I may shar, The virtue of baby's prayers.

CARLISLE TO HAVE ICE PLANT

We are certainly glad to chronicle the fact that Carlisle is soon to have an ice factory, which is to be put in and operated by MT. D. B. Perkins.
 MT. Perkins visited our office Sat urday and stated that the machinery had been purchased and would soon be ready for installation. The plant will be put in the old Southern Cream cry building which is owned by MT. Perkins and is located on the south side of the Rock Island railroad.
 The new plant will have a daily ca pacity of eight tons, which will be am pie to supply Carlisle and vicinity.
 The Independent has advocated an ice plant for Carlisle ever since we took charge of the paper and it is gratifying to know that we are soon to have a plant.
 Many times during the very hottest weather of the summer the people here have been without ice, and aside from this the citizens have been held up on the price to such an extent that the use of ice was almost prohibitive.
 It is to be hoped that the new plant will receive the hearty support of all the people of both town and country.

WOULD ABOLISH BIG STATE
 COMMISSIONS
McRae Will Ask Action of Arkassas
 Legislature

Little Rock, Ark, Dec. 7.--Aboli-
 ton of the Arkansas Corporation Commission, the State Penitentiary Commission, the State Board of Con- trol which administers the affairs of state charitable institutions, and the highway commission will be asked of the Legislature when it eonvenes next month, according to statement given out tonight by Governor-elect T. C.
 McRae. The proposed action presages
 one of the bitterest legislative fights in the history of the stata, according to political leaders.
 In his statement the governor-elect pointed out that a demand for the abolition of these commissions, as well as many others considered by him as useless, but hot speeid
 mentioned, was inserted as a plank in the platform on which he was elected, and he declared that he would con sider it the "rankest perfdy" on the part of the Democratic members of the Legislature to assist in perpetu- ating them.
 MT. McRae said that the abolition of the four commissions would save pUf,UOU year III SetidIltS dlOHe anu that the saving from the efficient ad- ministration of the institutions now ontrolled by commissions, would amount to many thousands of dollars more.
 The governor said that in the case of the penitentiary commission and the board of control he will advo- cate the appointment of honorary commissions to be made up of efficient men and women who will serve with out pay. He promised that with the abolishing of the corporation commits sion some plan for giving both corpo- rations and the public fair hearings would be worked out, and said that the duties of then highway commis- sion would be handled in an efficient manner.

UTILITIES PAY ONE-FIFTH OF
 ALL TAXES IN STATE

"The public utilities the water, light and power, telephone, gas and railway companies one-6fth of all the taxes collected in Arkansas, lis an announcement in an adwnvtise- ment by the public relations section of the Arkansas Utilities Association.
 "This surprising fact" continues the advertisement "is shown by the 1919 assessments. The total calua- tion of all property for taxation pur- poses was $5S8,161 ,065, and of this amount the public service companies are assessed for $115,656,476, or one fifth of the assessed valuation of the entire state of Arkansas"
 "On the basis of B mills-the az gregate of state, city and special lev ies in Little Rock-the utilities of Ar kansas paid in taxes on the 1919 val uation $3,S16,663, or approximately 20 per cent of taxes collected by the state, county, municipal and district government, the advertisement points out. "On the same basis, all other property in the state paid only $15,- 592, 2,652' the utilities paying S1 in taxes for every S4 paid by all other property owners.
 "The utilities actually paid more than S3,816.663" the advertisement will state, "bectause they are subject to taxes not levied against other property owners-such as corporation franchise, pole and other special tax.
 The statement also points out that "In addition to the $3,S16,663 taxes levied against the public service com panies, practically every utility signed for the voluntary school tax.
 "If all the utilities in Arkansas were forced out of business by reason of inadequate rates or unjust regula- tion" the public relations sections statement concludes, "the people of Arkansas not only would be deprived of the comfort, convenience, protec- tion, pleasure and profit provided by the operation of the light, telephone, water, gas, and railway companies, but the rate of taxation would have to be increased greatly to make up the nearly four million the utilities pay toward public improvements, govern mental expense and schools"
