Commission.


public service commission would be
summarily ousted and temporarily
replaced by five new men named by
Governor Jackson under a bill in
troduced by Senator Robert H. Moor
head (Rep), indianapolis, in the In
diana Senate.
The bill further provides for the
election of five public service COM
missioners, one from each of the
five Supreme Court districts. The
elected commissioners would take Of
flee after the general election in No
vember, 1928.
Effective May l
The present commission would be
abolished as soon as the law be-
comes effective, May /, and the Gov
ernor would name five commission
ers to serve until the new commits
sioners are elected.
The measure was darwin, it is re-
ported, by Samuel r. Artman of the
State industrial board, former CON-
missioner.
Some say it is unconstitutional.
An attempt to do away with con-
sideration OF the Reproduction new"
theory In arriving at valuations for
rate making purposes is made in the
bill.
The bill provides that "the CON-
mission shall value all used and USE
full property Of every utility COM
pany as a going concern at the &C.
tual present value thereof"
The law now provides that "as one
of the elements of such valuation
the commission shall give weight to
the reasonable cost of bringing the
property to it's then state of eff
cheney.
In the decision of the United
States Supreme Court in the appeal
of the local water company from
decision Of the Indiana public service
commission definite rule for the dis
cernment Of the basis for utility
rates was laid down as follows:
So. the present value of lands,
plus the present cost Of constructing
the plant, less depreciation If any, is
a fair measure of the value of the
physical elements Of the property"
Gas Company Case
On the basis of spot reproduction
value" as followed in the Federal
Court, William P. Kappes, sitting as
a special master in chancery, allowed
the Citizens Gas Company a value
OF more than $16,0O0,OO0 with about
1000, 900 added for intangibles
although the balance sheet OF Dec.
81 1925, shows assets of approx
mately S11 100000.
The bill would cancel all indetermi-
nate permits under which most of
the utilities now operate. In their
place the commission to be formed
would issue new indeterminate per-
mits to contain an agreement by
which the utility would contract to
take it's appeal from any ruling of
the commission to the State courts.
Many attorneys say that this pro-
vision is unconstitutional on the
basis that constitutional rights can
not be signed away.
Holding companies would come I'M
der the plan, as would associations
or individuals which have control of
more than so per cent of the COM
mon stock of any public utility COM
pany.
Control of outside holding compa-
MES such as the American Telephone
and Telegraph Company would also
pass into the hands Of the commits
sion under the measure.

Old Man Coyote howled. And then
he received an answer. He couldn't

many times had he howled at the

reply. But now another Coyote
had replied. That reply had come
from one of those tents. 1t was a
little muffied, but that it was the
voice of a Coyote there could be no
doubt.
Old Man Coyote was almost beside
himself with excitement. Again he
pointed his sharp nose to the moon
and howled as only he can howl
Then he listened. The reply came
instantly. Poor Old Man Coyote!
Until now he had not realized how
lonely he was. No, sir; he had not
realized it. But hearing that voice

Again he lifted his nose and poured
out his heart, as it were. Again he
received a reply, but before it was
finished it was drowned in such
roar as made the very ground shake.
Old Man Coyote tucked his tail be-
tween his legs and headed straight
for the Old Pasture as fast as his
legs could take him. He might have
relative in that strange place, but
he had no desire now to find out.
Once more that great roar shook
the earth. 1t seemed to Old Man
Coyote as IL every hair on his body
stood up at the same instant. Cold
chills chased each other all over him.
He didn't know who or what had
made that tremendous noise, but he
knew that it was the voice of an
animal and it made him afraid. And
perhaps it made that other Coyote
afraid, too, for no more did he hear
that voice that had SO filled him with
loneliness. You know, of course,
what he had heard. He first had
heard the voice of Coyote who was
a prisoner in one of the circus cages.
Then he had heard the voice of Simba
the Lion. 1t was this that had sent
him scurying to his home in the Old
Pasture with his tail tucked between
his legs.

Negligees AS Essential Articles
BY MARY MARSHALL.

negligee, a breakfast coat or q
matinee.
But now young girls are as ad.
dicted to the wearing of negligees
as are older women. In fact, there
is something quite debonaire about
the lounging robes and other negli'
gees that they have to choose from.
The girl in boarding school who
might once have been content with q
single terry-cloth bath robe comes
home now with conviction that a
really luxurious sort of negligee is
quite as essential to her happiness
at school as a gymnasium uniform or
a tennis outfit.
The negligee shown is one of the
rather sophisticated looking new ones
of the sort that appeals to the young
woman nowadays. 1t is made of
mauve and purple satin trimmed with
silk fringe.
Women have borrowed from men
the idea of having their tailored
jackets made to do double duty
that is, two skirts with but a single
coat between them. And the idea is
rather good one, since one short
jacket will usually remain in good
condition for the time that it takes
two skirts to grow shabby. The idea
is especially good now that it is smart
to wear skirts and jackets of different
materials. You can have a black rep
jacket made with a black skirt as
we'll as a skirt of fine black and gray
striped material.
Many women feel that the fashion
for striking handbags has passed.
The handbag should be very good
looking, but should be chosen ito
match a darker or neutral tone of the
costume. Thus it is that in the hands
of really well dressed women we see
fewer of the bright green and violet
hued handbags than was the case
some months ago.

Wednesday. Nav 4,

Good and evil aspects are read by
aStrologers for tomorrow, but the
benefjc influences predominant. This
is a favorable planetary government
under which to start on a journey and
is especially promising for ocean
voyages.
A great volume of foreign travel is
foretold for the Summer and many
will make pilgrimages to the Orient.
Although this is not favorable rule
under which to start a new business
enterprise or to take any sort of risk,
the forecast for the next few months
in the United States indicates marvel
Gus prosperity.
Again bankers and financiers are
subject to the best possible direction
of the stars. They are to meet big
problems and to lead the world in
big undertakings.
There is sign of promise for all
who deal with newspapers under this
sway of the planets. Advertising
should be especially profitable.
Persons whose birth date it is have
the augury Of a year in which they
will accomplish much in the way of
pushing their affairs. There may be
courtship and marriage for many.
Children born on that day are likely
to have vaulting ambition and there
may be temptation to live beyond
