BILL AIMS TO
ABOLISH PUBLIC
SERVICE BOARD
Draft in House Deals Blow
at Inflated Valuations
by Utilities.

A blow at inflated valuations Of
public utilities for rate-making pur-
poses was struck today in two bills
introduced in the house of repre-
sentatives by Representative Cecil
j. Kistler of Alcott and GoreSst
Knepper of Etna Green.
The first bill abolishes the public
service commission while the second
recreates the commission as it is
today but changes five sections of
the law governing valuation for rate
making purposes.
Under this proposed statute, rates
will be fixed on actual purchase
value instead of appraiSals.
Sponsors of the bill declare that
under the present system the util-
tiles collect rates in accordance with
their high valuation but do not pay
taxes on the same figures.
"It will be a leveler and make it
possible not only for rates to be re-
duced but for the fair assessment of
the utilities" Kistler said.
Complete checkage on the num-
Der Of gallons of gasoline sold in

gasoline dealers be licensed by pay
ment of ST fee and file bond not
to exceed $4,000 with the auditor
of state to guarantee payment OF

Monthly reports must be filed
with the auditor by wholesale gaso-
line dealers and common carriers

line has been shipped. A penalty
of from $25 to $1,000 is provided fol

PROPOSE SALES
TAX FOR STATE
Senate Bills Provide Two
Bodies to Study Plan.

Appointment of two commissions
to investigate the revenues and ex-
penditures of all state departments,
and the tax system, with a view to
supplanting the property tax with
a sales tax, was asked in two bills
introduced in the state senate by
Senator Joe Rand Beckett, Indian
apoliS.
Each committee would have nine
members, appointed by the Gov
ernor, regardless of politics. The
first would report the feasibility of
the sales tax, with recommended
tions, to the legislature of 1881. The.
other would study the subject of
expenditures and administration or
ganization," making it's recommen-
dations for the elimination or con-
solidation of boards or commissions
to the 1881 legislature.
For the first, $4,000 would be- ap-
propriated, and for the second $685.
600: Members of the tvo commits
sions would receive a per diem of
$40 and their expenses.

MORROW HELD
OUT AS likely
CABINET CHOICE
Confers With Hoover; win
Return to Post in
Mexico.
BY THOMAS L. STOKES,
United Press staff CORRESPONDENT


MIAMI BEACH, Fla, Jan. "a
Dwight Morrow, ambassador to
Mexico, was regarded as removed
definitely from the picture as prob
able secretary of state after his con-
ference here today with President
Elect Herbert Hoover.
Morrow plans to return to his
post in Mexico City early next week
and it was indicated he expects to
remain there after Mar. A. Morrow
declined to discuss his conference
with President Elect Hoover, which
lasted nearly three hours. He ex-
poets to leave here this afternoon
for New York, sailing for Mexico
City early next week. He expects
to stop one day in Washington.
The ambassador gave the Presi-
dent-elect a general review Of
Mexican affairs. He urged upon
Hoover, it is understood, a visit to
Mexico during his administration.
Such visit, he feels, would aid in
bringing the two republics still
closer together. Hoover plans to
make such trip at some time dur
ing his administration.
The President-eIect, Mrs. Hoover
and q party of friends left the
Penney estate at HOO shortly after
Morrow's departure, for a three-day
fishing trip.
The party embarked in the two
yachts which will carry them to
Angel Fish creek thirty miles from
here, off the Florida keys.
Mr.. Hoover expects to return Sat-
urday night or Sunday.
Morrow arrived here from Mas
sau, where he has been on vaca-
ton. The ambassador had been
mentioned soon after election for

secretary of state and quite an &C
tive campaign has been carried on
by his friends. He was generally
regarded as a man of too mdepend-
ent views to take over the handling
Of foreign affairs in the admins
tration of Hoover, who, it is gener-
ally believed, intends to be his own
secretary of state.
There still is much for Morrow to
do in Mexico and he is expected to
remain at his post there furthering
the cordial relations between the
two countries.
Four secret service men accom-
panied the fishing party, utilizing a
small coast guard vessel.
Neither one of the yachts carries
a radio, so that Hoover will be COM
pletely out of touch with affairs.
However, he intends to do some
work. Two stenographers, but no
newspaper men accompanied the
party.
