Editorial Comment
Millions That go on Utility Bills

On. \. World)
That noble effort, the Dollar Gas
Law, having failed, its cost now be-
comes of interest to the plain citi-
Zens who foot the bills. The Con-
solidated Gas Company spent $4,000
900 in the fight; the Brooklyn Union
Gas Company and the Kings Comfy
Lighting Company also spent great
sums. This will be ultimately and
indirectly paid by customers, who
have already paid the expenses OF
the Attorney General and dhe Cor
poration Counsel in taxes. The
same New York City public is mean
while helping to pay the costs OF the
telephone company in its extensive
rate litigation. Last spring. when
engaged in pushing three separate
actions-one before the Public Ser
vice Commission, one in the Federal
Court and one before special mas
ter-the New York Telephone Com
than $S,0O0,000 in rate cases.
These are specimen items in the
heavy. bill the American people pay
for their inefficient ill-managed syS-
tenn of rate fixing for public utilities.
Legislative interferences like the
Dollar Gas Law are plainly irration-
al But the rules, methods and
judicial basis for the work of the
various State utilities commissions
are also in large part irrational; so
are the frequent appeals to the
Federal Courts. Till a common
sense reform comes. these legal wars
will cost the public dearly.

Real Balsaln For

To Help

For any kind of cough, but espe-

that persists and keeps YOU awake
nights Adamsons Botanic Balsam is
strongly recommended
1t acts Immediately. Like a soothing
healing poultice it goes to the sore af-

pletely. This brings immediate relief
and speedily conquers the cough.
1t is absolutely safe and pure.
Adanson's Botanic Cough Balsam
contains the very best OF natures
herbs. The contents are printed plain
1y on every bottle. Grandmother will
tell you it's the cough balsam to use.
She will recognize its curative ingre-
dents.
Adamson's Botanic Cough Balsam
is so different from ordinary remedies
and so carefully made that If a drug
gist were to make it up for you, it
would take him hours. It's cost would
be prohibitive. Made in modern lab
oratory in large quantities, but as
carefully. as if it We're your personal

Adamson's contains no opiates. 1t is

SHIPPING BOARD SITUATION

Not only does the report Of the
o. S. Shipping Board virtually
admit the superiority Of private
management as compared with gov
eminent management but 1T reveals
a situation especially emphasizing
that feature.
There Is the falling off in business
Of the Shipping Board vessels with
South America due largely to the
fact that foreign competitors are
using motor ships with greater
speed. The Board is engaged in a
conversion program to meet this
competition. Probably by. the time
this is done private initiative among
the competitors will have devised
another improvement.
Initiative, enterprise. hard work
intensive study and personal en-
deavor are conspicuously missing tr
business affairs managed by a gov
eminent. We saw this in the man
agement of our railroads in wal
time; we see 1t abroad in those
countries where the government
manages the public utilities, thu
telephones, the railroads and tn.
like. However. 1t is very eviden
that If our Government is to stipu
late the conditions under which ou
ships shall be manned and plac'
them under restraint such as to i'm
pair their power of competition will
those not so restrained. one Of tw'
things must happen.
Either the lesson we learned a
such great exense in the days Of tn
World War must be thrown ava.
and our merchant marine permitte,

waters with all the advantages sucl
an institution affords us. OF ;
practical way must be found TO

Lewiston Mills Are
Well Off for Water

Lewiston, Dec. Ain a statement
issud today to Paul A. Bean, agent of
the Union Water Power Company,
who has charge of the water storage
of the Androscoggin river, it is said
that there is now in storage a suf-
fcient supply of water to meet the
needs of the Lewiston mills and 9TH
er industries for period of 1856 days.
1t was also noted that the new dam
just completed at Gulf Island will
prove an important factor in control
ling the water supply. Water condi-
lions are more favorable than at any
previous time since 1919.
