come is greater now than if they them
selves administered them.
The mineral industry is vitallv in
terested in whether the remaining pub
lie lands with their mineral contents
are administered by the national gov+
ernment or by the states. Within each
state there would then be different
law with which applicants for mineral
leases would have to comply. This
would result in multiplicity of laws
with which mining industry would
have to contend, instead of one law
applying everywhere. Some prospec-
tors have already expressed alarm over
the development of such a situation /
present this phase of the situation for
the consideration of miners in the
western country whose interests are
directly affected.
Last winter some IA different bills
were introduced into congress, seeking
/, to have released to the western states,
ownership of the minerals in the lands
set apart for educational purposes,
known as school lands. This was a de-
mand for radical change in the present
national land policy, which retains title
to all minerals in the United States
government. The diversity of phrasing
of these bills, with argument adduced
in support of them, would Indicate
that the trainers were not clear on the
history of public lands or of mineral
leasing.
Grants of public lands to states for
school purposes by the federal gov
ernment have been liberal, if not prodi-
gal. A total of 49,276,2S3 acres has
been given to states composing the
western group, which includes Ari-
IONA, California, Colorado Idaho, Mon
tana, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah, Wash
ington and Wyoming. When these
states were admitted to the union the
enabling acts with one or two excep
tions, provided that they should re-
ceive from one to four sections of each
township of public lands when sur
yeyed. 1t was specifically stipulated
however, that all sections known to
contain minerals at the time of their
proposed transfer should be retained by
the federal government and the states
should be permitted to select other
lands in their stead.
Since 1850 this national policy deal
ing with school land grants to states
has been in force. During the last
session of congress- legislation was
presented u reverse this policy ana
to transfer mineral rights in their
entirety to the states The Jones bill.
which was. used to stir up the teach
ing fraternity last winter particu
larIy of Colorado, provided for the
outright gift of all minerals to be
found in school sections to the states
for their school funds.
Here again as far as economy OF
administration is concerned, the out
right transfer of the minerals il,
school lands to the states would be
advantageous to the interior depart
ment. Recently there were 1850 OF
these school sections in western
states in dispute. Settlement of the
question of whether school sections
contain known minerals at the tim'
of their transfer to states involves
heavy costs. Examiners of the gen

SUPREME COURT
UPHOLDS z PER

HHPHOLDING an injunction
against new water rates in
Indianapolis, the Supreme
Court has just emphasized
the importance OF states
giving consideration to present values
Of public utilities in fixing charges for
the use Of water, according to an
Associated Press dispatch in the
Washington Post.
Prices ana wages prevailing at the
time of the investigation must be con-
sidered, the court said in an opinion
by Justice Butler, from which Justices
Brandeis and Stone dissented.
"There must be an honest and intel.
ligent forecast as to probable price
and wage levels during a reasonable
period in the immediate future" the
opinion added in declaring that the
courts in attacks upon rates as con-
fiscatory must give consideration to
the future as well as the present.
They must decide, the court declared,
whether the rates complained of are
yielding and will yield over and above
the amounts required to pay taxes and
proper operating charges, a sum suf-
ficient to constitute just compensation
for the use of the property employed

wheeling High School inaugurates
telephone service course. Excellent
results being obtained" says school
board.
The Wheeling independent School
District has just installed Q complete
private branch exchange switchboard
system for the instruction Of students
of the commercial business depart
ment. It is believed to be the first
installation of it's kind in the United
States. The "PBX" serves twelve ex-
tension telephones located throughout
the school. Students act as operators
and business men and women. In
this way, they are instructed in the
proper methods of transacting bust
ness by telephone.
Ben e. Hamilton, business manager
Of the school, Is largely responsible
for the installation which has just
been completed by the Chesapeake
and Potomac Telephone Company of
West Virginia under the supervision
of Fred r. Dunning, manager.
Mr.. Hamilton was approached by a
well-known business man Of Wheel
ing, who had just employed young
man, recently graduated from high
school, but who seemed to have no
knowledge Of the proper method of
conducting business conversation by
telephone. When this young graduate
reported for work, he was assigned
the task of answering the telephone
until he became accustomed to the
ONCE routine. The head Of the firm
inadvertently overheard the boy an
swer the first telephone call and was
amazed at the lack of training that
was shown In his manner, language
and voice.
When the business man next saw
Mr. Hamilton he inquired If it would
not be possible to teach the, CONNER.
cial students the proper method OF
using the telephone in an Office or
business establishment. This sugges.
ton caused the business manager OF
schools to give more than passing
thought to the subject. The longer
he thought of the proposition the
more he was convinced that It would
be q departure from the customary
trend OF commercial training now In
vogue in public high schools, but was
something with which everyone should
be thoroughly familiar.
After Mr.. Hamilton had approached
telephone officials with his proposition
he was ready to divulge his secret to
members of the Board of Education.
This body passed on the measure
unanimously and congratulated Mr..
Hamilton on his foresight.

TELL ME NOT THE
LISTED NUMBERS,

FHF7l HATS in a name often has
MVWM distinct bearing on furnish
NIN ing telephone information.
8A0 The information bureau is
all that the name implies
and is a very necessary part Of the
telephone service for every commun-
ity. It is maintained to supply the
telephone number Of those subscribers
who have been furnished service since
the closing of the latest directory.
Another function of the information
bureau is to assist telephone users in
locating the numbers Of those sub.
scribers whom the calling party can.
not locate IN. the directory.
This is very frequently due to the
calling party not knowing the proper
spelling Of the name; for instance:
9aer might be spelled Bair or Bare
and Cain might very readily be Kane
or Kahn while Cohen might be Cohan,,
Coen or Kohen. II Johnson is asked
for, the calling party might want
Johnson. johnson, Johnston or John.
stone. Klein might be spelled Kline
and Lea is frequently confused with
Lee or Leigh. Read might be Reid,
or Reede, While Rhodes might be.
spelled Rhoades or Roads. Shepard
is another name that is often confused
with Sheppard or Shepherd and Smith
might be just plain Smith or it might
be Smithe, Smyth, Smythe, Smidt,
Schmid, Schmidt or Schmitt.
Sometimes people are not sure of
the initials of name or do not know
where a person lives although they
may have the correct spelling Of the
name. This, of course, is a handicap
to the information operator who can
not be supposed to furnish the tele.,
phone number unless she has some
clue to work on.
In days gone by telephone users
have asked the bureau for informa.

to furnish the service; that is, rea.
sonable rate Of return on the value of
the property at the time of the in
yestigation and for a reasonable time
in the immediate future"
Uphclds Per Cent Minimum
The majority took the view that
public utilities are entitled to re.
turn of not less than per cent be-
cause values of utilities huctuate and
owners must bear the decline.
Referring to a former decision de-
claring that to ascertain value in rate
making the present as compared with
the original cost Of construction were
among other matters for consideration,
the court explained that this did not
mean that the original cost or the
present cost or some figure arbitrarily
chosen between these two is to be
taken as the measure" The weight
to be given figures and other items
or classes of evidence must be deter.
mined, it stated, "in.the light of the
facts of the case in hand"
The court placed a value of not
less than 100000 on the Indianapo-
lis Water Co. and found that on that
value the rates fixed by the Indiana
utilities commission were too low.
Justice Brandeis, in delivering the
minority opinion, asserted that repro
dlction cost was not conclusive evi.
dehce of values, and said the Supreme
Court had so held in unanimous de.
cisions.
