Higher Telephone Rates
I'm Syracuse Are Upheld
Decision Of Commission Ex-
pected to Have Bearing on
increases Here
Special Di.potea to The Tribune

ALBANY, Aug. 4.-The CITY of Syra-
cuse to-day lost its fight to prevent the
New York Telephone Company from
putting into effect the rate increase it
scheduled last year. A decision by the
Public Service Commission, in accord
ance with an opinion by Commissioner
Blakeslee, dismissed the complaint made
by the city. It is expected that this
action will have an important bearing
in the disposition Of rate increase COM
plants brought by other localities, in
Guiding New York City, against the
telephone company.
Commissioner Blakeslee holds that
the value of the compnny's property
used in public service, its rates and it's
regulations should be considered on the
basis of the companys statewide ac-
tivities
In the opinion attention is called to
the desirability of fixed rates on a
measured service basis. 1t is pointed
out that under such an arrangement
the amount paid for telephone service
would be governed to large extent bv
the service required by each subscriber.

Mr.. ]. o. Ewing, who was, for many

His wife was a daughter of the late

The deceased was about fifty years
old, and no young man in this part of

The largest burden the Repub-
Iican party now has is one George
Harvey, who a few weeks ago
was named as the Ambassador
to England by President Hard
ing. His speech at Court of St.
James, classes him as an enemy
to the best interest of the Unit
ed States. 1t also calls to mind
that Woodrow Wilson turned
down Mr.. Harvey after his first
nomination when Harvey offered
his support. Wilson did not
want his friendship nor that of
his publication. When Harvey
undertakes to show his venom
against the former Democratic
President, he is talking about a
man whose shoes he is unworthy
to unlatch.

George Harvey, Mr.. Harding

George Harvey, Mr.. Harding's
Ambassador to England, has
done what a great majority of
the thinking men of the United
States believed he would do
put his foot in it. His first
speech is being severely criticiz-
ed by both Republicans and
Democrats, and already there is
a move on foot to have him re-
called. Harvey hates Mr.. Will
son because the latter, while
making his first canvass for the
Presidency, snubbed him. His
appointment was a great mis-
take, and we believe that the
present administration would be
the gamer if Mr.. Harvey was
notified to return to the United
States; that a back seat awaited
him.

MORE TAXES.

At a meeting held in Lexing-

presence of Gov. Morrow. Raney
T. Wells. one of the new mem
bers of the State Tax Commits
sion, said:
"Your State has got to have
more money. Your taxes are
not going to be lowered. They
must be raised. And let me tell
you here and now that the peo-
pie of the State, in my opinion
don't care how much taxes
they've got to pay. if you pro-
duce. Start out today and fight. !"
Since Mr. Wells is an ap-
pointee of Gov. Morrow and is a
member of the board in charge
of the valuation of all the prop
erty in Kentucky. it begins to
look like the people Of Kentucky
will be required in the future to
60 down into their jeans deeper
than they have ever gone. Will
the already heavy burdened tax
payers submit to an additional
burden is a question to be an
swered by each taxpayer indie

SENATOR STANLEY SPEAKS

The Senate had under consid-

providing a separate peace with
Germany. Senator Stanley spoke
in part, as follows:
Mr.. President, were l seeking
a simple partisan advantage
rather than the good of my coun-
try l should rejoice at this hour.
There is no doubt, no question
of doubt, that the great majority
of the American people, that the
heart of the world, hungriIy
longs for some concert among
the powerful nations of the
establishment of peace and the
abolition of war. There is no
doubt and no question of doubt,
the great majority of the Amer
lean people agreed with the SEN
ator from Massachusetts EMr.
LoDGE] when he declared that a
Stacker peace, that a separate
peace, that an understanding by
this Nation with Germany indie
pendent of and disregardful of
the rights of our allies, would be
thing of infamy.
To-day, at this hour, we can
make a peace with Germany as
