WHAT THE PRESS is SAYING.
SOME CURRENT COMMENT ON TIMELY TOPICS

company reveals that as the number
of lamps in one purchase increases
there is very great reduction III
the price, the discounts ranging from
10 to as high as 40 per cent. Of
course the small purchaser cannot
afford to buy large numbers of
lamps and so could not obtain
large discount, but the concerns that
furnish electric current can and do
buy great quantities of lamps every
year and so have the advantage of
considerable discount, which they
should pass on to the consumer.
For example, if one concern buys
only $3.50 worth Of lamps year it
would obtain a discount of 10 per
cent, aud the reduction would in
crease with the size Of the purchases
until, when the purchases in one
year reach $4,000, the discount is
.35 per cent. For regular type
lamps of from 10 to so watts, inclu-
sive, the catalogue price is As cents,
and reduction of 35 per cent to
thelarge purchasers, such as con-
Germs that sell electric current for
lighting, would bring the price down
to 80 cents. And this is the price
at which lamps of this power should
be sold to the consumer. For Sa-
vannah an order of 100000 a yeat
would not be considered very great;
it would represent 100000 electric
lights, or less than one lamp per year
for every person in Chatham county.
Think how many lamps you use, and
you can see that there ought to be
a considerable discount for lamps or
dered for the use Of Savannah peo-
pie alone, and when a concern can
purchase in even far greater lots
than $4,000 worth, it is plain that
there is room for a considerable re-
duction below the prices now quoted
for lamps to individual consumers.
This matter should be taken up at
once by the Railroad Commission.
Public utility concerns should not
be permitted to make profits on ar
ticles used to make possible the con
sumption of the thing that makes
them public utilities.

Take the meat from the bones. Add

TROOPERS SURPRISE
N. Y. RUM RUNNERS
Major Chandler Decides to Open
War Without Waiting for
New State Police.

Albany, n. Y. - Instead of waiting
until his two new troops are recruited
and trained, Major George F. Chandler,
commanding the state police, started
attacking rum runners, boOtleggers and
/ blind tigers. He changed his plans
over night. 1t was believed he would
defer action until his force had been
enlarged from its present strength of
232 to it's newly authorized 34S. That
would mean some time between June
10 and July /. The booze traffickers
and consumers were caught unawares.
Due to the expose of the rum run
ming conditions across the New York
Canadian boundary the major decided
to hesitate no longer.
Major Chandler began operations by
detailing his men to the north country
districts, wherein the E ghteenth
amendment had been fiagrantly violat-
ed with impunity and where erstwhile
efforts to suppress the whisky traffic
have been regarded as merely official
pleasantries. Other troopers were as
signed to descend on roadhOuses that
have been GASES for city folks who
were shut off from their liquor by To-
cal police raids. The first thing done
was a RI d on II White Plains place,
where about $4,000 worth of liquor
was captured.
In the meantime. the major said, he
will hustle his recruiting along ip or
der that the additional men appropri-
ated for by the legislature may get
into the cleanup fight within the com
ing month. AS soon as new troop is
found fit for service-hard. gruell ne
service, that will require courage and
hOnesty-these new men will be thrown
into the Adirondack district. where the
bootleggers have opened headquarters.
Then he intends statinnng his men
along the 40 miles of open Lorder be-
tween Rouses Point and Fort Coving-
ton.
