CALIFORNIA POLICY SOUND

H. w. Brundige, California state
railroad commissioner, says that the
regulation of public utilities in that
state is so closely related to the Pc
troleum industry that any fiuctua-
ton in the price of oil is immediate
ly reflected in cost of operation of
the chief utilities of tie state.
For two years the California rail
road commissioner has kept in eff
feet sliding scale of rates FOR man
ufactured gas and steam cheating
service based on prevailing price of
fuel oil; the manufactured gas rate
varying on a basis of approximate
ly 81 cents per 1000 feet for each
increase or decrease of 10 cents in
price of oil per barrel.
This is sound policy of public
utility regulation. If the state makes
the rates it should Immediately
recognize any factor affecting cost
of producing utility service and the
rates should be adjuster in order to
assure not only consumers, but in
vestors uninterrupted service and
dividend returns.

CAPPER SAYS ECONOMY
APPEALS TO KANSANS

Chicago, Aug. 26-"Kansas farm
ers speak of President Coolidge as a
hard boiled economizer in govern
ment expenditures, which accounts
for his popularity in our state" said
Senator Arthur Capper of Kansas at
the Republican national committee
headquarters on the occasion Of the
Dawes notification exercises.
Nothing SO strongly appeals to
our people as rigid economy and hard
common sense in the management of
governmental affairs said the SEN
ator from Kansas. 1--WE are salts
fled with Coolidge; we believe he is
safe and sane and we know this is
no time to make a change in the
management of national affairs.
There has been a marked improve
ment in the sentiment of our peo-
pie during the past so days, due to
careful consideration of the situation
and the increases in prices of farm
products, accompanied by excellent
crop prospects, which made for the
full dinner pail of the working man.
Common sense and rigid econo-
my" said Senator Capper, appeal
more strongly to our people than
government ownership of railroads
or attacks uEon the protective tar
If system, or the untried and revo-
lutionary policies which strike at
the foundation of our government.
Our farmers believe in Cal, hard
boiled economizer,' and in Dawes
plan for bringing real peace to the
world. This means prosperity under
Republican rule. Our farmers know
1t and the working men in our indus
trial centers know that this truly in
sures their prosperity"
