AS these considerations could not, in
my opinion. be raised in any proceed
ings which might be brought prior to
the adoption Of the ordinance; and. as
the adoption of,the ordinance by the
people appears at. this writing, to be
highly improbable, I have deemed it
unwise to consider the matter fully at

'The assertiensef the provisions in
the ordinance, as, to the number of

paving Of certain streets does not cre-
ate an additional consideration for the
increased fare provided in the ordi-
nance; for by them the company does
not agree to do anything they are not
already bound to do, and, in fact, in
my opinion they have been inserted
for the purpose Of limiting the COM

western, moaning for more money and
seeking higher rates.
Naturally it does not look righ
that the parent company should be
rolling in luxury while it's children
from whom it derives income are
starving. That would suggest that
the A. T. & T. is taking too much
out of the operating companies.
How, then, is the "A. T. & rs pros
perity to be accounted for?
Other Sources of Profit.
The answer is that the w. E. de-
rives profits from other sources than
the operating Bell companies, and
that these go to swell the A. r. &
It's income.
There is s441,ss1,220 outstanding in
common stock of the A. T. & T. On
this the sum of $35,356,S34 was paid
in dividends in 1919. Additions to
reserves and surplus brought the
company's net income for the year up
to $44,395,791.
Where does this money come from
From the w. E. and the Bell sub
salaries. -,
It is thus apparent that if the oper-
ating companies are starving, the w.
E.: must contribute very large part
Of this $44,395,7s1.y :
The total. sales of the w. E. in
1919 were $135,oO0,000.
Could it earn enough Of profit on
these sales to account for the "A mil
lion of A. T. & r. profits?
Particularly could the w. e. earn a
major portion of the A. T.. & T. profit
if more than half it's sales-those to
the Bell companies-are made at a
close margin?
If the w. E. does not pay the major
part of the A. T. & T. profit then a
large share Of the a. million must
come fr the Northwestern and
other Bel! exchange companies.
In that case are they starving to an
extent that would warrant an increase
in rates such as the Northwestern is
so urgently asking?
It's UP to the Minnesota Railway
and Warehouse commission.
If that body says yes, then Duluth
'phone patrons must dig up an addi-
tional half million for a years serv-
ice.

The recent widely, circulated state
ment that the United States public

oil was as efficacious in the treatment
Of tuberculosis as it had been shown
to be in that of leprosy is said by
Surgeon General Cumming to be un-
warranted. Experiments made some
years ago with the oil gave; no definite
results.
Recent experiments with the ester,
or derivatives, have been begun be-
cause of hopes based on some similar
tiles between the bacilli of leprosy
and those of tuberculosis; but these
have not proceeded far enough to in
dictate what results will be obtained.

cent in wheat, but corn was unchanged
TO u cent lower, and oats unchanged 70
u higher. Provisions closed from UNI
changed to 20 points higher.
Wheat started with n moderately firm
undertone, due to heavy sales to ex-
porters after Mondays close. The initial
bulge brought out selling orders which
caused a setback, but the offerings were
absorbed readily Fluctuations con-
tlnued along these lines the greater part
OF the session. trade being mainly local.
Buying OF September and selling OF De-
cember were noted. Toward the finish
the buying power improved on tho
breaks and the export business figures
stimulated It further.
Corn was generally lower, despite
Mondays export business at the Sea-
board OF around 100000 bushels and
local sales to-day OF 100000 bushels to
the same account. Hot weather south
west, likely to mature the corn rapidly,
was factor in this development
Oats exhibited fairly strong under
tone. but trade was limited and the
range OF prices narrow. Shipping de-
mand was reported slow, but country
offerings declined.
Provisions withstood n further break

F0UR NEW CoUNTERFEITs OUT.
Treasury Warns of Spurious Re-
serve Notes,

WASHINGTON, Aug. 23.-The Treasury
to-day warned OF the circulation of four
new counterfeit Federal Reserve notes.
The counterfeits include $50 note on
the New York Federal Reserve Bank, a
$50 note on the Chicago bank. a $40
note on the Kansas City bank and a SIS
note on the Chicago bank. The first two
were said to be distinguished by blue
instead OF green backs. and the latter
two by the poor quality of the paper.
