The protest sets forth that the
proposed schedule ''is unjust, inequi-
table and excessive and amounts to- an
increase of more than 20 percent, and
in some instances amounts to a raise
of % percent over the present
rates. -
The protest further sets forth that
"a raise is rates at the present time,
at period when economic condi-
tions are not stable is neither wise,
practical no just, and should there
fore be postponed to time
when conditions have attained and
reached the normal
ASKS FOR INQUIRY
Tn the protest, Mayor Campbell
asks that no raise in rates should
be permitted until a thorough and
complete investigation has been made
and evidence gathered to ascertain
whether the financial statement, state
ment of assets and liabilities, proper
tv and investment valuations, and
other statistical matters submitted
with the schedule and proposal to
raise rates correspond with the facts. -
The mayor asks for a hearing of the
matter by the utilities commission,
in Grangeville, when the
power company should "be required
to give facts and submit evidence
to justify such proposed increase in
rates.

A QUESTION FOR EDISON

The questionairre for college grad
yates submitted sometime ago by
Thomas A. Edison, which must be
answered before position could be
secured in his laboratory, has
brought forth a volley Of questions
for; Edison to answer. The Newberry
Observer wants to know if the elec-
tr;cal wizard can tell (which end Of
a cow gets up first?" and whether
a sheep has teeth in its upper jaw"
Ali Of which brings to mind the
cid story of a teachers examination
held long years ago in Abbeville.
This examination was held in the
days of school commissioners and
not the new tangled superintendent
of Education. Matthew Mcdonald was
the school commissioner and on the
day of examination after indulging in
several drinks of heroic size, he pro-
pounded the question "If quart of
turnip seed will plant an acre of
ground, how many teeth in a buzz
saw" announcing that no teacher
would be given a first grade certif-
cate without correct answer to the
question.
