COMMISSION IS
JUBILANT over
BALTzELL EDICT
Decisions on Utilities Are
Along Lines Approved
/ by State Group.

Public service commissioners are
happy over the decision in favor OF
the commissions orders handed
down Wednesday by Federal Judge
Robert G. BaltzeH.
Praising Judge Baltzell for his
decision, Frank T. Singleton, chair
man of the commission and by vir-
tue of his position spokesman for
the group, today said:
1.-THE public service commission
has had its day in court.
Three of our orders have been
approved. Judge Baltzell sustained
the principal findings Of Commis-
sioner Calvin Mcintosh in the
Steuben County telephone company
case, where the petitioners had
sought to charge to operating ex-
penses attorneys fees, engineers
fees, and accounting fees, all in
Cured by the utility in attempting
to obtain higher rates than were
fair.
"The extra expenses were to be
charged to operating costs, which
were to be paid by patrons in the
form of increased rates.
Commission Is Sustained
"Judge Baltzell's allowance of
these fees was less than half of that
claimed by petitioners and was very
little more than the sum allowed by
the commission. Therefore, this
feature of the commissions policy
was in principle sustained by the
Federal Court.
''The commission was sustained
particularly in the Royal Center
telephone case, order for which was
prepared by Commissioner Harvey
Harmon.
"In this case the commission de-
cIared itself to believe that the
patrons of the utility should not be
required to pay for service more
than that service is worth.
1.-THE finding here was that the
existing rates of the Royal Center
Telephone Company were as high
as they should be, because the Serv-
ice rendered by it to it's patrons was
such that a rate increase would re-
quire patrons to pay more than the
service rendered is worth.
Under Utilities Claim
I'm the Vincennes water case,
Judge Baltzell upheld the fair value
found by the commission in an order
prepared by Commissioner Howell
Ellis. The value was declared by
the commission to be $725,000, while
the utility claimed it to be 81, 100000.
"This was wide difference and
the commission believes that the
price paid by the owners for the
common stock of this utility only a
short time before it's petition for an
increase in rates was fled was one
evidence Of fair value.
Judge Baltzell, according to his

PARTY LEADERS
Amid DISORDER
Hoover'S Defect, Proposal
of Smiths Name Cause
Farley RevoIts.

BU United Press
CHICAGO, July 13-Scenes OF
disorder, during which personal
fights were narrowly averted
marked the final session Of the Ma
tional Prohibition party convention
here, as William F.. Varney, Rock
vile Center, L. l., was selected as
the presidential nominee of the
party.
Placing Of the name of Al
Smith, "Wet" Democratic candidate
in nomination, revolt led by j. B
Hammond, Des Moines, Iowa, and a
second revolt as the balloting began
preceded the nomination.
James A. Edgerton, Alexandria
Va, was nominated for the vice
presidency over Frank Regan, Rock
ford, Ill. Edgerton received 6S votes
and Regan, 20.
Varney's selection came on the
second ballot. With sixty-one bal
lots needed for election he received
flfty-three on the first ballot. Her
bert Hoover received AZ, Aaron S.
Watkins, Waynesville, Ohio, 16, and
Smith 2. On the second ballot Var
ney received 66 votes and Hoover As.
The party, however, left the way
open to indorse Hoover by the
adoption of resolution empower
ing the national committee to re-
2lace its nominees with others and
also to bar prohibition candidates
for presidential electors in any
States where such a campaign will
aid Governor Smith.
Varneys nomination came at the
end of day of dispute.
The first disagreement between
delegates came early in the day
when Clinton Howard, Rochester,
N. Y, presented a resolution pro-
posing that the party refrain from
nomination and call upon Hoover
to declare himself for prohibition.
The second demonstration of dis
cord started when James M. Tenn
pleton, Cary, N. c., nominated Gov
ernor Smith. Delegates rushed
through the aisles and threats OF
fighting, without fulfllment, were
heard on all sides.
The last serious revolt came just
before the balloting, when twenty
delegates left the hall, protesting the
insistence on the Endorsement OF
Hoover. Other delegates followed
and more threats of blows were
heard, but none was struck. Final
ly all delegates returned and ballot
ing began.
The convention closed after both

Evidently believed the same

decision, evidently believed the same
thing.
This case involved the matter of
fair value of utility property for
rate-making purposes, which is the
principal basis for all contention in
determining schedules of rates.
"There has been a tendency to
seek maximum rates because of the
high cost of materials entering into
construction of public utilities, and
owners believe these costs favorable
for seeking high rates for service.
Judge Baltzells decree in these
three cases." Singleton said, defines
the issues clearly and is particularly
pleasing to the commission and
seems to confirm it's position in it's
effort to define fair value.
