The public has been very eonsiderate and tolerant
with the methods and practice of the Utility Corpora
tons of this State since the amendment of the Utility
Law in 1913A 1t try-out proposition and the law
itself provides that case Of the repeal of the Utility
Law the Utility Corporations shall go back to their old
franchise with the various cities and carry out the pro-
visions thereof
If the State of Indiana had no Utility Commission
Law the Utilities could not appeal to the Federal
Court under the 18th Federal Constitutional amendment
for the reason that under the Indiana Utility Law, the
State fixes the of the Utilities upon e1Party
principal that is to saythat in law the Utility Com
panies supposed to have any part in emak
ing as fixed blythe Commission, which enables them
whenever not satisfied to appeal to the Federal Court
upon the theory that the State Of Indiana has fixed
which confscatory and thus they appeal to the
Federal Court under the 14th Amendment.
The point want to make is this That if the
State of Indiana had no public commission law the Ut
ity Companies could not appeal to the Federal Court
for rate or valuation rate. That point the public
appears to be ignorant of.
SOME OE THE REASONc WHY On March LIST,
1913 regular railroad rates in Indiana cents per
mile; now-3.6 cents per mile increase of 800. On
the date regular nterurban fares Indiana were
~ cents per mile-now per mile increase Of

On the same date in 1919 regular street fares in
indianapolis were cents per ride, now they are 6A
cents an increase Of Sc ard 25-1OOR.
We have seen our telephone rates advance; water
rates advance gas and electric rates advancei fact,
we have seen rates advance under every Utility which
has been supervised by the Public Service Commission

Now, let us be fair about this matter Does not

SHRINERS PLAN
TO DIST RIBUTE
MANY BASKETS
Temple Members Asked to
Assist With Automo-
biIes.

Shriners Of Murat Temple will pro-
vide food and goodies for several
hundred needy poor families on
Christmas morning, according to
Amos 7. Mack, chairman of the
benevolent committee Of the local
temple. Mack called attention of
Shriners to the fact that the CON-
mittee needs the services Of great
many automobiles Christmas morn
ing to provide quick distribution of
the baskets.
1.-THE committee will have the
baskets ready as early as 6 on
Christmas morning." Mack said
I'VE are urging all members of the
temple who can provide automobiles
to get to the temple between and
8 that morning" He also an
nounced that the committee could
use the services Of many Shriners
without automobiles to assist in
handling the hundreds of baskets.
The Shriners expect to distribute
the baskets within less than two
hours, it was stated, to needy and
worthy poor families in every sec.
ton Of Indianapolis and outlying
territory. All requests for assist
ance have been thoroughly investi-
gated by the Shrine with the aid
of the Christmas clearing house, it
was said, and those who will be
served are considered deserving.
The fund for the Christmas bas-
kets was taken by voluntary con.
tribution at the recent Shrine cere-
monial, and is limited, it was an
nounced by the committee. Bas.
kets to be distributed will contain
staple food sufficient to last a small
family for q number of days. The
Christmas distribution by the Shrine
has been an annual custom for many
years. Members Of the benevolence
committee. In addition to Mack, are
Charles c. York, Oren T. owen.

Musical Library

In order to establish in the
Music Department Of the In
dianapolis Public Library col
lection of anthems for the use
of all the churches OF the city,
and large enough to be of real
assistance to them, Charles e.
Rush, librarian, has outlined
briefly this plan: IF fifty
churches will present the Lii
brary with thirty copies of some
one anthem at an expense Of
81 for each church, the Library
will undertake to provide an
equal number Of titles. This
will create a collection of one
hundred anthems which may
be borrowed as easily as any
other kind of printed matter by
any church in the city. Our
.endeavor will be to build up q
collection which will be OF the
highest usefulness to all de-
nominations and which will
make accessible to church
choirs a wider range of music
for public presentation than is
now the case. )"

VET she couldn't love
l. him nor could she
bring herself to be frank
and tell him honestly why
she didn't welcome his at
tentions.
On the other hand, he
was quite an attractive fell
low who intrigued her in
many ways. Still, as you
we'll know, there are some
things that you simply
can't discuss.
You, yourself, rarely know
when you have halitosis (unpleas-
ant breath). That's the insidious
thing about it. And even your
closest friends won't tell you.
Sometimes, Of course, halito-
sis comes from some deep seat
ed organic disorder that re-
quires professional advice. But
usually and fortunately -
halitosis is only a local condi-
ton that yields to the regular
use of L1sterine as mouth
wash and gargle. 1t puts you
on the safe and polite side.
Moreover, in using Listerine to
combat halitosis, you are quite
sure to avoid sore throat and
those more serious illnesses
that start with throat infec-
lions
Listerine halts food fermenta-
ton in the mouth and leaves the
breath sweet, fresh and clean.
Not by substituting some other
odor but by really removing the
old one. The Listerine odor itself
quickly disappears.
This safe and long-trusted an
tiseptic has dozens Of different
uses; note the little circular that
comes with every bottle. Your

original brown package only

sizes: IA ounce, 7 ounce, 3 ounce
and | Il ounce. Buy the large size
