32.4 per cent in 1927 and still have
made a fair return, why was this
not donc' Why did the power com.
pany contend they were losing mon
ey in lmperil valley and why did
they apply for an increase in rates
in the face of these facts! Also,
why has there been but l5 pcr cent
reduction to date if the rates cil1
be cut 32.4 per cent and still per
nit the power company to make a
fair profit which, under the state
law, is all it is supposed to do!
You have printed alongside of
your editorial the conrlusions If
the Wing report but you failed to
print the most important copcluSion,
which, is so apparent to anyone who
will read the report with an un-
biased mind. That conclusion is:
" Please do not hurt tho Southern
Sierras Power Company, which must
depend upon revenue from lmpcr
ial valley to carry losses on the bal
ancc of its system.
do not care ut this time to go
into a detailed discussion ON the
Wing report, although, | do hope
YOU will permit me space in your
paper to do so at later date. How
70 | Il,
to make, which is in regard to Il
paragraph appearing on Page ~ Of
the report which reads as follows:
of the power company had continu-
ed to operate on rates charged IN
1927, and thee were no prospect OF
obtaining reductions from it within
reasonable time, it would ncces-
sarily follow that it would be de-
sirablc for the district to either con.
denim the existing system, or TO
enter into competition with thc
company.
How anyone can read this para
graph and yet maintain that the re
port is unbiased is more than can
understand, especially, in the face
of the contention of the power com
pny, that it lost money in 1927 n
was, therefore, justified in request
ing an increase in rates before the
state railroad commission.

Preferred His Prescription

The basis of treating sickness has
|ot changed since DIR. Caldwell left
edSRl College in 1875, nor since
frfaced on the market the laxative
description he bad used in his prac-
bee, known TO druggists aud the
|ublic since 1892, as DR.. Caldwells
kyrup Pepsin.
Then, the treatment of constipa-
ion, biliousness, headaches, mental
oppression, Indigestion, sour stom-
len and other indispositions that
fsult from constipation was entirely
y meal of simple vegetable laxa-
ives, herbs and roots. These are
i'll the basis of DIR. Caldwelrs
yrup Pepsin, which is a combina-
on of SIENNA and other mild laxa-
We herbs, with pepsin.
DIR. Caldwell did not approve Of
Fastic physics and purges. lie did
d believe they were good for human
eings to put into their system. If
Fown people want to use them no
ne can deny them the privilege, but
hey should never be given 10 chill
rem.
The simpler the remedy for consti-
htion, the safer for the child and
pr you, and the better for the
%eneral health Of all. And as YOU
q get results in a mild and safe
ky By using DR.. Caldwell's Syrup
Epsin, why take chances with strong
ugs? All drug stores have the

and the bill then goes to the White
House with its fate still in doubt.
Like the house, the senate disre-
garded completely the request Of
President Coolidge that the chief
executive be given a free hand in
constructing the ships. Against his
wish language was retained in the
bill stipulating that the sixteen
warships be started before July /,
1881, and specifying the program
whereby they would be laid down in
three successive years, beginning i'm
m~ediately.
Coolidge D~ispieased
The only material change made IN
the bill by the senate was the addi-
tion TO an amendment by Senator'S
Borah, republican, Idaho, and Reed,
democrat, Missouri, declaring con-
gress in favor Of the negotiation Of
treaties fixing the rights of bellig-
erents and neutrals at sea in time
of war.
There is no doubt OF the displeas-
ure OF the president at the refusal
Of congress to heed his wishes but
this is not regarded as a sign that
he will veto the bill. He had asked
forthe larger navy and urged the
legislation.
Should the president sign the bill,
congress is expected to begin steps
to appropriate the funds necessary
for starting work on five Of the fiji
teen cruisers before next June 30.
The second fiscal years program
which contemplates a start on ten
of the cruisers will be taken care of
by the navy department appropria-
tion measure Just going through the
legislative mill.
To Cost 274 Million
The entire program calls for an
outlay Of S274.000, 900. including ST.
100000 for each OF the cruisers and
$l9-000.G0 for the air-plane carrier.
Debate centered on the British
navy which has c. cruisers COM
pared to the 80 America will have
when the IS new ones of 10000 tons
each are in action. Japan also will
have SO cruisers, but the American
tonnage under the new will
be greater BY 10000 tons. Cruisers
were not limited under the terms of
the Washington arms conference
agreement in 1922.
