British Houses to Finish
Emergency Session.
By United Press

BIZ United Press
LONDON, Sept. 3O.--Prime Min
lister j. Ramsay Macdonald an
nounced in the house of commons
today that parliament would adj
journ.
The announcement was taken to
indicate that the question of a gen.

Holdup Rates
Fill Purses of
w alter Baron

The people of Indianapolis
are paying at least 100000
each year in excessive rates
for electricity and water.
The supposed investment
by the Clarke Holding Com
pany in the electric light mer-
ger was only $1,060,O00. Last
year this holding company
took out $4,000 as dividends
and nearly 100000 in ex-
cess charges for coal, interest
and various trick fees which
are used to hide the revenue.
The rates for electricity
have no relation whatever to
the amount of money invest
ed, the reproduction value of
the plant or it's earnings.
The water company is even
more extortionate. Last year
"A cents of every dollar paid
for water went to Clarence
Geist and his family.
On a supposed investment
# 100000, tn ey took
$1,225,000 in dividends. Be-
fore he took this money the
people had paid interest on
bonds, which in all probable
ity represent the only real
money invested in the plant.
These two companies make
it difficult for the business
man to continue in business,
or the manufacturer to carry
on, and for the citizen to pay
his own way. They collect
tribute before the government
collects it's taxes.
They have the power of life
and death, and exercise it
ruthlessIy. The people must
pay Immediately or are shut
off from any service.
Every civic club in Indian
apolis ought to join in the
movement to lower these
rates
