TELEPHONE RATE RISE

While Ontario will not be enthus-
iastic over the Increase In telephone
rates there is no doubt that when
the people take into consideration
the facts disclosed In the findings OF
the commission given elsewhere In
this issue, that they will not be in
dlgnant over the rise.
Compared with the Increase In the
cost OF operations, and the further
fact that the earnings have proven
insufficient 10 meet depreciation Il
was inevitable that some increase be
permitted
II should be understood that the
increase granted was not so great as
the company requested; for that at
least the patrons will be thankful,
Having received the increase not

that the service here compares favor

We believe that the business men
OF the towns would rather pay slight

the territory surrounding the towns

city. In fact we want the phone
lines extended. not reduced, tho OF
course there are limits beyond which
the company cannot reasonably be

Gluck,Zimbalist Recital.

Alma Gluck, soprano. and Efrem
Zimbalist, violinist, game a delightful
concert yesterday afternoon in Polls
Theater before an audience which
filled every seat in the auditorium. on
the stage and the available standing
room. 1t is unusual to see Mr. and
Mrs" on the same program, and it
was reminder of the appear RANGES Of
Mr. and Mrs. Henschel some years
ago.
The program was made up Of three
groups OF songs, Mozart's concerto for
violin in A major and Sarasate's fam
tasy on Bizets Carmen" Mrs Zim-
balisl. known professionally as Nine.
Gluck. is delightful singer of songs,
with a gracious and charming per-
sonality. She sang exceedingly well
in the last group of songs, with
violin and piano accompaniment.
In the first group her singing seemed
register. giving a tendency to fiat the
high tones. Her rich medium tones
are more mellow than in former ap-
pearanceS Schumann's Sandman"
was sung very we'll, clear and dis
tinct enunciation adding much to the
music. On being recalled Nine. Zim-
balist sang the ever popular Little
Gray Home in the West"
In the second group she sang Mr..
Zimbalist's Little Russian Folksong''
in Russian. a fascinating song, with
much charm, and in this and in Rach-
maninoff's '"rhe Answer" also sung in
Russian, she seemed at her best: Her
two encores after this were Garry
Me Back to Ole Virginny" and prayer
Perfect" In the last group Saint
Saens' lie Bonheur" and the famous
Fiddle and ]" were beautifully done.
and for encore Mr.. and Mrs. Zimbalist
gave "Sing Me to Sleep" After rather
a long wait. during which the ap-
plause did not cease, Mrs. Zimbalist
reappeared in sable cloak and carriage
boots, merely to kiss her hand again.
Mr. Zimbalist played with big rich
tone. brilliant technic and charming
delicacy. and with a keen sense of
rhythm. The Carmen" fantasy was
scarcely worthy the artist, though
showing the players great skill in
double stops and brilliant scales.
After this number he played a double
encore. the 'Valse Bluette" and his
own Russian Dance" a charming
composition.
Eleanor Scheib played accompani-
ments for Mrs. Zimbalist and Emanuel
Balabap played for Mr.. Zimbalist. both
giving ample support and playing
with skill.

Retail Sales Tax Discussed.
The association, as result of ar
both sides of the proposed retail sales
tax as one Of the means of providing
revenue for the national government
probably will adopt a taxation policy
in the near future. It is expected tc
favor a limited turnover tax on com
modities rather than single tax or
retail sales. The Washington Boart
of Trade recently took action favor
| ing the retail tax.
Representative Isaac Bacharach o1
New Jersey advocated the retail tas
at last nights meeting. HIS estimated
lit would produce about s9o0.000.000 il
revenue annually.
Lew Hahn of New York. managing
director of the National Retail DR.!

Washington representative of the as
sociation. presented the taxation pol
| icy of that organization. which favors
in lieu Of a retail tax. a turnover taa
of l per cent on all commodities, but
not on services. It would repeal the
