About fOur-ffths of the physicians
voting were against wine and beer
Whisky, however, is making a stur-

In the nineteen states 6,797 doctors
replied they did not consider whisky
necessary, while 6,519 asserted they
had found it of value.
In reply to another question on the
ballots, 1884 reported they could
cite instances in their own practice
where unnecessary suffering or
death had resulted from the enforce
ment of the prohibition, and 1912
physicians said they knew of no
such instances.

19.9UNCOmnlS SI OnerS IauO
Result.
Congratulations were recently eX-
tended to County Treasurer Patrick
J. Carr by members of the Board of
County Commissioners because of
the large amount of interest money
earned on public funds during the
year 1921 as indicated in the report
TO the board. All previous records
were shattered The total interest
received on all funds ending Dec. l.
1921. was S654,419.9O. Mr.. Carr has
been Treasurer since April and the
interest is on money collected since
that time.
Lauds Check System.
The wisdom of checking on the
Treasurer's records and requiring
him to report all interest earned is
shown, Mr. Carr says, in comparing
the records of past years. In 1905
the total interest turned over by the
County Treasurer was only $75,138,
according to records in the County
Comptroller's office. The total has
grown steadily until it has reached
the big figure reported by Mr.. Carr.
In 1909 the interest received, &C
cording to the COmptrOller's records,
had increased to Sill, 266.91; in 1914
it had amounted to $189, 2S6.12; in
1918 to $3OO,53545; in 1920 to
s588,6S117, and this year to 1854
1880. The best showing of any
month during 1927 was in May, when
the interest amounted to $12S,638.44
The poorest showing was in January,
S1246112, a period when practically
no tax money was being received.
Treasurer Carr's Letter.
In his letter to the County Com
missioners, Treasurer Carr says:
| herewith take pleasure in sub
hitting to you an accounting of all
interest earned on county moneys
for the fiscal year ending Nov 30,
1921. A resume of all of said inter
est shows a total for the year of in
terest from all sources on all county
moneys of 1864, 41990. This is by
far the largest amount of interest
ever returned on county moneys.
If your honorable body should de-
sire to make an audit of this inter
est or appoint a committee for that
purpose, | will gladly give them
every access to the County Treas
urer's records The new law, which
went into effect in 1919, covering
interest on county moneys, makes it
obligatory upon the county treas
urer, as well as upon all deposit
taries of county moneys, to make
verified returns each month with
.affidavits attached and sworn to as
the amount of interest earned on
such moneys, the original copies OF
which are in the hands of the
Comptroller of Cook County. These
verified returns will show that the
amount stated 1854, 419.90) is ac-
curate.

JUSTICE TO THE UTILITY COM
PANIES.


PANlES.
George w. Weber, the we'll known
writer and publicist, said in recent
issue of Weber's Weekly:
Mayor Thompson's lawyers con
tend, in their Gas case arguments,
that, because the Gas Company has
earned somewhere more than ~ per
cent on the Gas COmpany's prop
erty value, the price for gas ought to
be reduced By the same rule the
Elevateds, not having earned 712
per cent on their valuation, should
have their fare rate increased.
l have earnestly eXerted myself to
obtain and Understandings present
the facts. Those who use public util-
ity services are more concerned to
have good service than they are to
have meager rates. The greatest rem
edy for high rentals is housings in
the suburbs-and, suburbs" is not a
matter of lineaI mileage distance ;
rather it is matter of getting to
and from-of ranspOrtation-rapi
