Benefiting All Mankind

Sixty-fve millions of our people live day and night
with electric service ever at their fnger-tips, for thus
has a great industry grown from a mere idea, in less
than forty years.
But every one of our people, as well as all man
kind, is constantly b%eneftting from the conveniences
and the comforts and the economies that electricity
has brought into the world. By it we are served in
home, office, and factory; on the farm and in the
communication and the thousand and one other ways
that thought will instantly picture.
This is why the light and power company in your
community is a servant you can not do without. 1t
brings to you and your %neighbors all the direct and
indirect blessings that electricity makes available. 1t
is alert day and night for your touch on switch or
button, and it seldom fails you.
The Central Station Industry is furnishing people
everywhere a necessary commodity, ELECTRICITY,
at a remarkably reasonable price. From every con-
ceivable standpoint this industry is sound and endur-
ing. 1t meets a real and growing public need, it
operations. Proof of all this, if it were needed, is
found in the stability and %soundness of its securities
in the markets of the world.

FINANCING OF RAILROADS
TO BE WELL DISCUSSED
Will Have Prominent Place on
Program of Chamber of
Commerce Meeting.

Financing Of railroads will form a
major portion of the nation wide dis
cussion of transportation problems
planned for the eleventh annual
meeting of the Chamber of Commerce
of the United States in New York
during May. Speakers of national
and international reputation are to
talk on transportation matters be-
fore the general meetings
To bring out the views of dele
gates discussion will be launched by
a speaker assigned to outline the
standpoint of the railroads as to
their credit requirements The in
vestor's side of the railway security
question also will be. presented be-
fore the insurance group meeting.
Insurance companies always have
been holders of railway obligations
and their attitude Is becoming in
creasingly important, the chamber
says, in the effort to get at the
truth about transportation.
One phase of the New York meet
ing. according to Elliot Goodwin. a
vice president of the chamber. will be
an analysis of Secretary Hoover's
'thought-provoking proposal" of a
year ago that plan of reduction and
increase of, specific rates be substi-
tuted for the fat percentage method
as permitting needed reductions with
out impairing the aggregate return

HOUSE OF LORDS AGREES
TO REDUCE MEMBERSHIP
British Lawmaker Declares Many
of His Associates Prefer to
Attend Races.
By the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, March 2S.-The house of
lords last night after an amusing de
bate agreed to a motion offered by
Lord Newton in favor of reducing the
membership of the house. Lord New
ton urged that the house was double
the size of any other second cha mber
in the world. and that a large numb
of the members scarcely ever attended
the debates: they were always more
likely to be found on the race courses
than in the upper chamber. and the
bulk of the talking was done by somf
fifty. or sixty members. He contended d
that the house could easily get rid of
half of it's members without any one
being aware of the operation.
Marquis Curzon agreed that the
house was too large, but said that the
question could be dealt with only by a
complete reform measure, not in
piecemeal fashion.
The debate was made noteworthy
by the fierce onslaught of Lord Birk-
enhead on the Marquis of Salisbury
and the Earl of Selborne, whom he
accused of being dishonest coalition
lists because they had omitted to deal
with the question of the reform of
the house of lords, and were now as
sisting Lord Curzon in the policy Of
doing nothing.
1t is not considered likely that any
thing will come of the Newton mo-
ton.

! MONTREAL, March -3-Canada is
very proud of her new democracy. So
much so that all titles. honors. deco
rations and awards from foreign gov
! ernment are taboo.
! The situation was brought keenly
| TO the attention of Canada today
! when DR.. H. Ashton OF the British Co
| lumbia University was forbidden to
accept the decora ton of the Legion of
Honor from France in recognition of
| his work on French literature. The
award would carry with it no title,
yet doughty champions of the awards
bill have informed the distinguished ed
Canadian that legions of honor and
democratic principles do not conform.
AS far back as 1918 legislators de-
bated the question of recognition of
titles in the dominion. and In the fol-
lowing year they returned to the sub
ject with whetted appetites. The re-
suit was that they spent the whole of
two sittings discussing and revolving
the report Of committee. which ad-
vised that the king should be petit
toned to refrain from comforting
any title of honor or titular distinc-
tion upon any OF his subjects 'domi-
ciled or ordinarily resident in Can
ada"
Title Baiters Accused.
The resolution was adopted. but this
year the title baiters have been ac-
cused of ''dra gging the old dead horse
into the assembly and fosging it,
They have discussed the case Of DR..
Ashton as well as that of Drs. Bant-
ing and Best. dtscoverers of the in
sulin treatment for diabetes. and de-
cided that they should be precluded
| from accepting even the honor of in
tellectual achievement.
When the titles resolution was
adopted exception was made in favor
of those honors and titles granted for
military or naval service, literature
and scientific research. but the atti-
tude of parliament now is that even
those should not be excepted. Cana
dian statesmen and military men who
already possess titles are permitted
to retain them. but no further ac-
ceptance of awards will be permitted.
Outside Merit Recognized.
Canada recognizes outside merit. is
witnessed in the cases OF honors con-
ferred upon Gen. Pershing and Ad-
miral Sims. But foreign nations will
receive recognition at their hands.
One member OF parliament has
pointed out that while the literary
man and the savant may not accept
even decoration. Senator Smith.
Lieut.. Gov. Jones and the Rt. Hon.
Mr.. Brown might. continue to faunt
their titles even in the new democ-
racy. The "comrade" element quickly
acted upon the suggestion and is now
dickering on the question OF extend
ing the edict to cover ordinary titles
which come from parliamentary ap-
pointments.
