increase will work a hardship with
home owners who desire TO keep gar

civic pride in Pendleton and think
home owners should be encouraged,

To Impeach Commissioners.

A resolution was introduced in the
Constitutional Convention last Mon
day, having for it's object the inves-
tigation Of the Cumberland telephone
rate case and the possible impeach-
ment of members of the Louisiana
Railroad Commission. The resolu-
ton was offered by Delegate Arras
of the ninth ward of. New Orleans,
and is as follows:
"Whereas, the Railroad Commits
sion of Louisiana has seen fit to
grant the petition Of the Cumberland
Telephone and Telegraph Company
for a revision of it's rates and charges
for various classes of service in the
state of Louisiana, providing for an
increase, and
"Whereas, the verdict of the State
Railroad Commission appears to have
been rendered in haste and laxity,
resulting in much criticism and dis
favor by the public, therefore, be il
resolved, that an investigation be con-
Quoted by the committee on impeach'
ment and removal from office as to
the merits of the decision rendered
bv the said Railroad Commission OF
Louisiana, said committee to be en-
powered to summon all witnesses
necessary and render report OF its
findings and recommendation back
to this convention not later thar
March 81, 1921"
The resolution came as complete
surprise and created quite fluttel
among the delegates and is expected
to provoke serious discussion.
