FLAT REFUSAL
OF WATER RATE
hike PREDICTED
Service Commission Is Due
to Rule Friday on Vim
cenneS Case.

Decision in the perennial Vim
cennes water case will be made by
the public service commission Fri
day. it was announced today by
Commissioner Howell Ellis, who is
writing the order.
AS in the original case, the COM
missioners will find for the people
and against the company, it was
predicted. And again the company
may 60 into the federal courts and
get all the valuation it asks, unless
the federal court of appeals has
taken a new view, like the United
States supreme court has done.
Voting on Liberal Side
Lately, the highest court has
been voting on the liberal side of
cases where economic questions are
involved.
The Vincennes decision will be
double barreled. 1t will contain
separate rulings on a petition for
decreased rates and improved Serv-
ice, filed by the city, and rate in
crease petition filed by the COM
pany. The latter will be a short
mo"
Valuation of $1,934,OoO was OBJ
tanned by the company from the
federal court of appeals in 1928,
after Judge Robert G. Baltzell of
the federal court here had upheld
the lower valuation and resulting
rates set by the commission.
Commission Value $775,0O0
Present commission valuation of
the property is $775,000 and Vim
cenneS city engineers set it at
100000. Attorneys for the company
tried to argue that valuation once
set by the federal court never could
be cut down. This is not in line
with the Observation-Disclosures
ciated idea, which the utilities them
selves built up, it was pointed out.
Owners of the company are IN
dianapolis persons who have antag-
onized almost the entire citizenry of
Vincennes.
Unless service and prices are
changed to restore harmony among
the customers, a municipal plant
has been suggested by the city adj
rniniStration as the alternative So
luton of their problem.

TOWNS TROUBLES
ARE AIREDIN COURT
But, Now, All Is Quiet in
RavenSWood, Says
Board President.

How the town board of Ravens
wood became involved in a long
standing factional quarrel with the
towns business men over the sale
of 95 cents worth of buttermi1k has
been aired in superior court.
Robert Stamm, town board presi-
dent, defended himself against an
injunction suit filed by William
Arens, Roy Goodpasture and Frank
Schmelz, business men.
Judge John w. Kern heard evil
dence and took the case under ad-
visement.
The business men seek to close
permanently lunch stand operated
last surnmer by Stamm on the
Ravenswood beach.
Permission to operate the stand,
on the towns property, was obtain
ed by agreement between Stamm
and his fellow-board member,
Charles o. Ford, while third board
member was sojourning in another
state, evidence showed.
1t further disclosed that Stamm
closed the stand after selling 95
cents worth Of buttermilk.
Outside of court following the
hearing, Stamm declared that
Ravenswood's troubles practically
are settled.
He proclaimed a recent action of
the board that cut the towns tax
rate from $3.50 to 81, making total
rate for it's citizens next year 1921.
THAT will cause people to move
to Ravenswood, for high taxes al
ways have been the basis of cries
against our town." Stamm said.
The board abolished the town
marshals post, and no longer will
collect garbage. These municipal
favorS were ended in the tax econ
omy program.
Business men now are taxed
under licensing ordinance passed
for police regulation.

LEAGUE URGES
SWIFT REVISION
OF WAR DEBTS
Geneva Council Takes Firm
Stand for First Time
10 History.
BY FREDERICK KUN
United Press stan Correspondent

GENEVA, Sept. 21.-The finance
committee of the League Of Nations
has prepared a report covering its
deliberations of the last month
which urges swift action to revise
war debts and reparationS, the
United Press learned today.
The report, in which the commit
tee Identifies itself with the view
point of the Wiggin report, prob
ably will be presented in the league
council Tuesday.
1t was learned that the opposition
OF a single member prevented the
committee from pluntly demanding
debt revision measures.
The committee does not propose
league intervention in the debt
situation, it was understood, but i'm
plicity urges governmental action.
1t also makes recommendations in
connection with the financial
plights of Austria and Bulgaria.
1t analyses the cause of the va
rious European financial crises as
due to "a fall in prices with sub
sequent increase in real wages and
an increased debt burden, borne by
the governments"
Great significance is attached to
the report because it means an i'm
nOrtant league c0non1ittee has ider
titled itself with the forces seeking
revision, even though the move is
cautious one.
The cause of the present world
financial crisis is the accumulation
of gold in the United States, France
and elsewhere, M. H. Collin Of Hol-
land, told the economic commission
of the league today
There never will be a free cir
culation of capital until there is a
free circulation of gold,' he said.

A PPROXIMATELY 1000 persons
L n attended the Tenth district,
Republican rally and dinner at
Newcastle, Friday night, and at least
500 were job-seekers of one kind or
another.
Over in the new district formed
from the old Sixth and Eighth there
is included but one normally Demo-
cratic county and that is Shelby.
Therefore, the Republicans feel
pretty good, even though their
brethren in the rest of the state
are in the doldrums.
It really was an enthusiastic
meeting. Why, they even cheered
the name of President Herbert Hoo
yer when Senator James E. Watson
threw couple of bouquets in his
direction and you know that's some
thing today in Indiana.
Stammering and suffering and
hemming and having like some boy
given a Friday afternoon school
recitation, Senator Arthur Robinson
consumed fifteen minutes of time
and the contrast was so great that
Watson was the recipient of lusty
cheers. The senior senator made a
good speech, the rip-roaring fire
eating Republican grafton that the
HoosierS like so well.
II
M. Bert Thurman, national COM
mitteeman and outstanding candi-
date for the nomination for Gov
ernor, got a good reception in a
short talk during the afternoon and
during his meanderings through
the crowd.
Now that it is pretty we'll settled
that Ira j. Wilson of Muncie, old
Eighth district chairman, is to be
the head of the new Tenth; Ray
mond Springer of Connersville, old
Sixth chieftain, is in a position to
put in bid for the nomination for
congress or attorney general, prob
ably the later.
With a strong Republican district,
there are plenty of aspirants for the
congressional honor. The list in
cludes James K. Mason of Marion;
Ephraim (Monte) Bowen, Randolph
county prosecutor; Miles Furnas,
state representative from Ran
dolph; Luther Draper of Spiceland,
former state senator; Rollin A.
Turner of Greensburg; James M.
Knapp of HagerstoWn, former
speaker of the house; Denver Har-
Ian, former state senator; George
Lockwood, Muncie publisher, and
George Barnard of Newcastle, who
would like to be the nominee for
Governor.
Besides these, there must be a
half-hundred more in the weeds.
Republican chieftains turned out
en- maSSe for the rally and did lot
of circulating. The word was being
spread that Paul ". McNutt, In
diana law school dean, and foremost
contender for the Democratic nomi-
nation for Governor, had slipped a
lot in the last sixty days.
maybe the Wish was father to the
thought.
Signs OF peace among the Repub-
lican members of the supreme court
was evidenced in that Judge CIar-
ence Martin brought Judges David
A. Myers and Julius G. Travis to the
rally in his automobile.
For several years there had beer
distinct cleavage on the supreme
court with Myers, Travis and former
Judge Benjamin Willoughby on one
side; and Martin and Willard B
Gemmill on the other.
If peace has been declared, there
is a prospect that there finally viii
be some action on the D. c. Ste
phenson case.
But don't get excited about it yet
