Other Points Decided
In making the decision the COM
mission:
Declined to make the reduction
retroactive, as asked by petitioners,
declaring it had no power to order
reparation.
Rejected the contention of the
city and attorneys for petitioners
that the stipulated valuation, lower
than the valuation fixed, was bind
ing.
Rejected the contention of the city
and petitioners attorneys, that the
valuation stipulated to by the Hughes
Electric Company was binding, and
fixed higher valuation.
Rejected the utility theory that
valuation should be solely on the
reproduction new method.
Cut the depreciation charge allow
ed the company from four to two
percent.
Declined to interfere with salaries
fixed, holding it could not substitute
it's judgment for the company's.
The rate of return calculated by
the railroad commission, allowing
the company federal income taxes,
is about SA percent on the COM
pany's valuation, according to Chair
man Milhollan. The railroad COM
mission, he said, had in instances
fixed rate of return for utilities
as low as six percent. The higher
return allowed the Hughes Electric
Company, he said, was because Of
efficient service rendered by the
plant.

BANKERS VIEW ON CO.
OPERATIVE MARKETING

The attitude of the American Bank
ers Association on cooperative mar
keting favors proper organization to
facilitate the orderly movement of
farm products, but holds that the CO.
operatives are as amenable to econo-
mic laws as any form of business ana
cannot be used to gain special bene-
fits for the farmer contrary to the in
fuepces of supply and demand and
other normal factors. This view was
formulated recently by Frank w. Sim
monds of the Association before the
National Council of Farmers Co-opera-
tive and Marketing Associations at
Washington.
at would be unfortunate for the
farmer IL he becomes imbued with
the idea that cooperative marketing
in itself is a panacea for all agricul-
tural ills" Mr.. Simmonds said. GO
operative marketing, well organized
and wisely managed, can be most
helpful in solving market problems. 1t
may prevent untimely dumping, it may
secure better credit facilities, it may
extend existing markets, it may even
create new markets, but obviously its
operations will be as amenabie to eco.
nomic law as those of other business
enterprises.
What It Cannot Do
cooperative marketing cannot pre-.
vent other countries with cheaper land
and labor from selling N foreign
marts at a price unattractive to US.
1t cannot successfully override the
law of supply and demand or main
tain for any length of time an arti-
ficially high price by Withholding "a
product from market or unduly limit
ing production. Sane, orderly market
ing must be accom- panied by sane, or
derly thinking.
I'VE may wisely take a leaf from
Danish experience and emphasize efh-
cient, economical, maximum produc-
ton Of standard grade products. for
however important cooperative mar
keting may be in solving the exigen-
cies Of the present time. It is only one
link in the chain of agricultural prob
lens"
Tho American Bankers Association,
Mr.. Simmonds said, believes that solu-
tions of farm problems should be
sought through private enterprise and
not through government aid" and ap-
proves the endeavors of farmers for
orderly marketing.

THE PLACE OF THE GOOD

Have you ever heard girl cry:

little town! I'd stay here if there
were any way for girl to develop
her own individuality?
"It's the individuality that one can
develop In such place as this" says
Carolyn ReQuarth. "that makes up the
most interesting thing about being
and working here-individuality that
the average girl cannot possibly ere

visit annually. The business associa-
ton of her county recently picked her
as representative of good salesman

has quadrupled since she took 1t over.
It's pure coincidence, of course. that

CHAPTER l
On a Dark Road

The trolley station at Curwen is
small, consisting only of a closed-in
shed with single bench against its
rear wall and a line of gimcrack, Jig
saw scroll caves overhanging its open
front. On a dark night 1t is almost
Invisible and is practically nonexistent.
1t was well after ten on an evening
in late October when a buggy, drawn
by hard-driven horse and containing
single occupant, approached the sta
ton. The man who was driving con-
tinually peered ahead, in the manner
OF one trying to recognize some land
marx that may tell him where he is.
when he saw the rectangular bulk of
Curwen station against the sky line,
ne leaned out, endeavoring to distin-
guish the white letters that spelled the
name. Failing to do this, he threw
back the lap robe and prepared to get
out and inspect them more closely.
Midway in the move, however, he
was stopped by the sudden siren shrek
OF an automobile that was coming up
oehind. He turned and looked through
'ne glass-paned peephole in the back
vi the buggy and saw two great acety-
.ene lamps splitting space with terri
iying speed. Instantly he shook his
reihs and tried to draw out to the
sloe OF the road. He did not really
aouot that the Fastening chauffeur be-
nind would slow down In time to pre-
vent crash. And yet that raucous
s"riek had sounded very imperative.
again he urged his tired horse.
Inc car did not halt, nor even

mat II would not or could not slacken.

very last possible second did he aban-

The girl followed.
The slope was short and not very

heavy and the rescuer himself was
scarcely in condition for the work.
However, he went doggedly on until
he had nearly reached the top. There
he stopped. staggered, and would have

propped him from behind, pushing
with a strength altogether unexpected.
