TWO CASRATE
CUTS ORDERED
Ruling OF State Commission In
Americas Case Expected
This Month

ATLANTA, April 13,-The state
railroad commission, in accordance
with its announcement in each gas
rate increase when made, some weeks
ago issued rules nisi to all gas COM
panies in Georgia calling on them
to show why their present rates
should not be revised with the evi-
dent purpose in mind to reduce the
present rates if conditions should be
found such as to justify such action.
Following a series of hearings thus
Indicated, the railroad commission
has handed down decisions in the Sa-
vannah and Valdosta cases granting
reduction of 15c per 1000 cubic feet
in each case. The old net rate at Sa-
vannah was SLIGO and at Valdosta
$1.90. The Commission during the
past three months has reduced rates
for several utilities.
Decisions in the other cases now
before the commission, including
that of Americas, on which a hearing
has already been had, will very like
ly be handed down during the present
month so that whatever change in
rates may be made, if any, will be-
come effective on May /.

ARBUCKLEFREE
AFTER Sd TRIAL
Jury Quickly Acquits Screen
Cosnedian-Fatty To Take
Long Pest, He Says

SAN FRANCISCO, April 13.-
Roscoe (Fatty) Arbuckle stood ac-
Quilted today after undergoing three
trials on charge of manslaughter in
connection with the death of Vir-
ginia Rappe, some months ago. Half
an hour after the case was SUBJ
mitted to the jury late yestrday a
verdict of not guilty was returned.
The screen comedian today said ne
was going to take COED rest.
Arbuckle was deeply affected by
the action of the jury. He received
the verdict with great sigh of re-
lief. There was no demonstration,
the court having warned against it..
Mrs. Minta Durfee Arbuckle, the de-
fendant's wife, cried quietly. Both
she and Arbuckle shook hands with
the jurors
The quick return of the jury was a
surprise. Edward Brown, whose
presence on the jury was objected to
by the prosecution, was foreman.
There was a slight delay when the
jury returned, due to the absence of
the district attorney.
The verdict was by acclamation,
the deliberation taking less than a
minute. The additional time was con-
sumed by details.
Jurors and spectators crowded
around Arbuckle and his counsel and
finally bore him off to the jury room
to congratulate him further.
"Arbuckle has no immediate plans,
Gavin McNab, his chief counsel, said.
at was a splendid victory"
"The jury did its duty" was the
comment of Milton T. U'Ren, assist
ant district attorney.
AS in the second trial fourteen ju-
rors heard the case, two of the num-
Der being alternates. Four of the
regular jurors and one'alternate were
women.
Mrs. Arbuckle expressed her thanks
to McNab by giving him a resound-
ing kiss. The jurors held an infor-
NAL reception with Arbuckle in the
jury room while newspaper photog-
raphers, armed with flashlights, took
many photos.

WASHINGTON, April 13.-(By

most Unamerican bill ever framed" "

Gates it is the highest tariff bill ever

automobiles, and were not laying
aside cent for rainy day. Then
the disaster came in the form of de-
flation and caught them and they
have been paying for their folly ever
since. We must get our farmer
friends to lay up some thing for a
rainy day, to put by sometnng when
things are coming their way. For
conditions change and good times do
not always continue.
IF we teacn our farmers to save
we will learn that they will become
prompt customers. | find one of my
hardest problems is to teach the far
mer customers to be on time when
they have an obligation fall due. If
one of them owes me $4,000 ! don't
always expect, necessarily, that he
will come in and plank down the
$4,000 cash, But do expect him to
come in on the day 1t is due, pay at
least part of it, say $4,000 or So, 1000,
and make arrangements for carrying
the balance for 90 or 80 days. That
is what | mean by teaching them to
be prompt. If we can teach our far
mers to save, be thrifty, and put
something by, it will mean prosperity
not only to the customer and to the
community, but it will mean bigger
and a more prosperous bank, so you
see it is to the interest of the bank
er to teach these things to his
customers.
The Reserve Bank.
Il was very much impressed with
the talk of Governor hardee a while
ago, and | agree with him absolute
ly in his references to the Federal
Reserve Bank that par clearance
should be abolished and the Reserve
Bank should pay interest on the de-
posits of its members. | think
might apply for membership tomor-
row in the reserve system if it would
take down the par clearance rule and
pay interest on deposits. 1t is not
right to compel member banks to
keep their funds ON deposit in the
Reserve Bank without them paying
interest, and par clearance means
rulnatlon to many small country
bank which must depend upon its ex-
change collections to pay expenses.
And these small banks are the lif
blood of the communities.

ter of curiosity what he thought of
