THE PEOPLE WIN

Immediate reduction of electric rates, the cut
ng of fifteen millions of dollars from the perpetual
urden Of securities, guarantee that there Will be
attempt to increase those rates for five years Is
10 inconsiderable victory for the people, so long
nured to losing in their contest with utility cor
Norations.
The Times points with considerable pride that
bis result was obtained by following the suggestion
ade by 1t when the first appeal from Harley Clarke
II permission to merge the companies was made.
The Times was first to protest that the yalua-
on which he asked would burden this community
it'll extortonate rates
The Times at that time declared that the
1hamber Of Commerce should organize to defend
he welfare of the city against this seeming ex
|ortion.
The Times alone of the Indianapolis newspa
ers at all times and in every editorial suggestion
eclared that there must be merger of these plants
nd called attention to the fact that the people were
Untitled to a single management and relief from
Tasteful methods in the conduct Of what should
Ne monopoly.
The Times demanded at all times that the
3enefits of that single management, that release
-om duplicate effort should go to the people of
bis city and not to the fnancers and the company
The plan worked out by the Chamber of Com
cree and accepted by Harley Clarke seems to ap-
roach that demand much more closely tnan mas
yer been obtained by controversy in courts and
efore the public service commission in other cases.
There is to be a reduction of rates to the home
wners and the abandonment of those rebates to big
bers of power through which the attorney general
bid the people are robbed of half million dollars
year.
There is to be reduction for all users OF
bwer, small as we'll large which means that
here will be no discrimination between factories
hid industries and that all will be enabled to live.
That reduction, and those which may be ex-
.bcted to follow should make this city more at
3active to new industries and permit it to grow
the size and proportions which its natural adj
ntages of location and other conditions entte 1t.
Especially important is the pledge that there
Sll be no effort increase these rates for period
at least five years. That that new factories
5ill know that they will not be called upon for
eater expense for power. That alone should give
Rdianapolis an impetus for growth.
The result is a signal victory for the people,

u longer powerless.

part and its share.

THE NEXT STEP

Now that there is a prospect of reduced rates
|r electricity almost certainty, in fact, the next
|ep in making Indianapolis First should be an
|vestgation Of the rates paid for gas.
The Times has shown that this company paid
Ividends in 1925 on its common stock of 23 per
Int which covers quite considerable part of the
Jan year.
The common stock represents the real owner
Zip of the company. The other portion of the
bst of the plant is covered by borrowed money
Ahich is paid regular interest and is not affected
the earnings of the company
A big discrepancy is apparent between the
.atements filed with the public service commission
to its assets and the figures reached in the
y the commission.
There is discrepancy, a matter of fact, Of
fore than five millions of dollars, and that sum,
Hld probably more, is really owned by those who
bid the two millions of dollars in common stock.
Low gas rates important to city which
kpects to compete in the present competition be-
geen cities.
When exorbitant rates are charged it means
at it is more difficult for the men who work and
cate wealth in this city.
High rates are obstacles to growth and dis
Engagement to new enterprises.
Earnings of 20 per cent of dividends in one year
addition to rather surprising sums set aside for
rious funds, do suggest strongly that the company
charging more than it should.
An organized effort to get a reduction at this
me might accomplish this result At least it is
birth trying.

SMART ALECK JUDGES

Among things calculated to bring courts into
disrepute are the frequent Smart Aleck sentences
imposed by judges without warrant of law.
Take, for instance, the case of Henry Sparks
Mouton of Appanoose County, Iowa.
Henry dispatches tell us, is farmer. His wife
is dead and his family has grown. Faced with the
prospect of long and lonely winter, Henry closed
his farm and went into the town of Shenandoah.
Then Henry slipped He got drunk. Not only
that, he lost all his money-presumably the money
that to enable him to avoid the ,drear monotony
of lonely winter his farm and to enable him to
seek out the society Of his fellow men,
What did the wise and charitable judge do? He
told Henry to walk home matter of 200 miles.
And so Henry set out with not cent in his
pockets. Cold and snow were predicted.
The judge got front page head line. Doubtless
he the plaudits Of the prohibition fanatics who
think fatal poisoning is not severe a punish
ment for one who will drink.
But what do you think of such Judge?

TIPS AND PHILOSOPHY

Mattresses, according to the public confession
one of them, have very involved philosophy of
h and of living and livers. The philosophy for the
|ost part concerns the gentle art of tipping
In their estimation, according to the confession
one of them, those people who stick nickel
dime under their plate, because it's expected Of
|em," are almost negligible.
And the ones who meticulously add ten per cent
their bill are almost as bad
The stiff" who doesn't tip at all is total loss
BID will find himself with cold soup and no butter
water when he comes the next time.
The only human being worth an order Of ham
d" is the jovial individual who throws down
barter or half dollar because he enjoyed his meal
I'd appreciated his service.
Somehow the confessing waitress confuses wish
y til deed. 1t does not seem to occur to her that
lores of us who slip dime under the plate, or,
krhaps, slip nothing at ALL are not stngy and are
bt devoid of appreciation.
1t does not occur to her that the men who, with
sture can slip half dollars down on the counter are
BIT nearly so brave as the ones who slip less or
bthing
She does not seem to recognize at all the plain
sisery of the non-tppers who own that title simply
Bcause the family budget will not permit it,
Tipping is luxury that many people cannot
ford when the grocery bnt Is big and the baby
eeds shoes.

man who has lived off railroad profits is not

To prove the necessity of rejecting him It is

WELCOME, BROTHERl

Below is an editorial from the Indianapolis News
The Times is glad to reprint it. For It voices opinions
and suggestions made frequently by The Times when
the News took entirely different attitude
The Times is glad that the News has found the
light and that 1t is endeavorng to make its readers
forget that for five days after original charges
were made and given to the public by The Times, the
News silent
There is always Joy when the erring repent and
return. For that The Times is glad very
happy. to give great publicity to this editorial:
In his message Governor Jackson deals with
many important subjects mostly In exposory way
The work of the highway commission and the con-
servation department. both of which recent years
nave been under the fire of politicians deservey

no better system The repeal of the voters law
is urged-and we think, rightly. The needs of our
State universities and normal schools recognized,
though the Governor Is rather conservative in dealing
with them far concerns appropriations in their
behalr. More doubtful is the recommendation that
the pardon board be abolished, it be sub
sttuted the trustees Of prison reformaory or the
judges of the which those APPLYING for mar.

The Governor then discusses recent charges that
have been made and being investigated by
a Marion county grand jury. AS far as these touch
the last Legislature, or the State government, Gov
enor jackson characterizes them false He goes
further and -imputes base motives to those making

a mistaken view. There at least two charges
which we should think the Governor would insist on
having looked into. One is to the checks which
charged to have been given Governor Jackson
by Stephenson bearing the Endorsement of Ed Jack
son. The Governor has denied that he ever got any
check from Stephenson. If that is So then one
must have forged the Governors name. Here surely
is matter that ought to be cleared up. The other
charge is that large contribution made by the

AS to the charges in general it is to be said that
all the States attorneys including we believe the
attorney general believed that there was sufficient
evidence to justify indictments hands of the
grand jury that failed to return Them and that as is
believed four Of the six grand Jurors took that view

Equal Rights in Recognize
ing Presidents of
Nicaragua,
BY NJ. f. Tracy

If the United States has a right
to recognize Diaz as President of
Nicaragua, why hasn't Mexico a
right to recognize Sacasa?
Each has a considerable following
but neither controls the country
Each can claim some show of legal
authority, but neither represents a
government in fact.
1t is unfortunate that Mexico and
the United States shouldn't have
picked the same leader for support,
and one wonders why they didn't.
Was any effort made by our State
Department to come to an under
standing with regard to this matter.
or did it just jump into the stu
alton?
Secretary Kellogg says that Mexico
has insulted us by recognizing
Sacasa after we had recognized Diaz.
Why can't Foreign Minister Saenz
say that we insulted Mexico, and
with just as good reason, by rec
ognizing a man whose chief stock
in trade was denunciation of his gov
eminent?
