INDIANA MUNICIPAL UTILITY
COSTS SHOWN


4 A NALYSIS of the operating cost of
"A privately-owned and municipal
utilities, Indiana, compiled from the
annual reports which utilities are re-
quired to file with the state, show
that the operating costs of the NUM-
cipals is far greater than the other
class, according to a statement at the
commission offices.
In the statistics compiled private
and municipal electric utilities are
compared. The disposition Of each
500 of revenue is shown. The munich
pal utilities pay much more for coal
than the private concerns. More also
is paid for wages and salaries by the
municipals, which are to some degree
mixed up in politics.
Out of each 500 of revenue receiv-
ed by electric utilities the privately
owned spends $63.93 for operating
expenses, whereas, municipally-owned
utilities spend $73.44 for operating
expenses. The figures are based on
the reports for 1921.
The following table shows the diff
ference in costs for various items:

COMMUNE MENACE
Tells Correspondents France
Is Not Confronted by So
ciaI Conflict.

BY the Associated Press.
PARIS, December 23.-Premier Her
riot, who has been Ill for a number
Of days. received the Paris represent
attve of the foreign press yesterday
TO discuss recent rumors regarding
Communist uprisings. He requested
the correspondents TO SEND out the
following statement:
Il had the pleasure the day before
yesterday of receiving your confreres
of the French press, and / took ad-
vantage of the opportunity TO give
hem some explanations concerning
the supposed Communist peril that
has been reported as menacing our
country False news was being
spread in Paris. and l asked myself
whether, with the focilities for easy
press communications, some of these
false reports might not have crossed
the frontier. Not that / questioned
the good faith of the foreign corre-
spondents. but often an exaggerated
rumor may present a situation in
false light.
Calls Rumors False.
THAT is why ! apply 10 YOU, who
are sincere friends of France, and
ask you not to allow TO be created
abroad an idea that France is at
grips with great social difficulties
and menaced with imminent and
grave troubles. You who live our
life, you know better than any one
elso there is nothing to it. Since the
end of hostilities France has not
ceased to work to heal her wounds.
She lives in absolute calm. She has
not known, she shall not know, any
violence.
"Assuredly there exists a Commun
fst party in our country, as in many
N.,@ t. 60 f-> tn
crea asing its forces. 1t sees them de-
crease. 1t has only a few representa-
tives in Parliament. The Communists
ran up against the robust good sense
of our rural districts and the clear
sightedness of our laboring popula-
tion. That party is no more active
today than formerly. 1t tried to
mobilize its forces and organize
vast meeting Sunday. It's numerous
appeals, however. resulted in bring
ing out this year less than half the
number that responded last year.
Government Able TO Meet Trouble.
ar told your French conferres that
the government would be able to
repress with the greatest energy any
attempt that might be made to dis
turb the peace. But ! have a firm
conviction that such a thing will not
happen. Say to your fellow citizens
that France is working in absolute
tranquility. Those who allowed them
selves to be impressed by a purely
imaginary peril were very few
f- N number. You are daily witnesses
IF the efforts of our country to re-
constitute itself in peace. That, you
,=inow, is the firm resolution of our
democracy.
= Don't allow to be propagated false
news meant to mislead. Help US to
= lestroy these false reports, not only
- the interest OF our country, but in
he interest of truth. You know that
5.5t am working for general pacification.
Ut is work that interests all the ma
(. ions of the world. l ask You to give
hat work your hearty cooperation"
