the case with the United States dis

Brands Court Offenders
The court decision will be watched
by utilities throughout the country,
and it is expected that they will
fight to the highest court to retain
the legal protection they now have
for their high rates.
1.-The courts, after all, have been
the greatest offenders in the mat
ter of high rates." Ellis declared to-
day in commenting on the appeal.
Whether they get credit for it with
the public or not, the ordinary pub
lie service commissioner likes to see
rates reduced. That is the popular
trend and no one in public life likes
unpopularity."
It was pointed out that there has
been much recent talk about the
United States supreme court be-
coming more liberal on economic
problems. Such cases as this will
test the whole federal judiciary in
the matter.

est Vincennes Water Company case
in federal court, it was announced
today by Commissioner Howell Ellis
of the public service commission,
author of the Vincennes order.
The order was considered the
most revolutionary in commission
history, and so drastic were its
changes from the usual commission
course that it was reported an eff
fort would be made to keep the
courts from possibly unfolding it,
and thus establishing new prece-
dent
Should the order be upheld it will
mean that the courts, as well as the
public service commission, recognize
a new deal for the consuming pub
lie in utility matters.
Lowers Return 2 Per Cent
For the Ellis order provides not
only recognition of reduced values
of utility properties, under the re-
placement new theory of valution,
but gives 5 per cent as a fair rate
of return, instead of a former mini
mum of 7 per cent recognized by
the United States supreme court.
Ellis refused to recognize the
theory of Clyde Jones, attorney for
the company, that q former valua-
ton Of the Vincennes property made
by court decision could not be re-
duced.
III 1928 the company obtained
$1,032,000 valuation from the fed

order sets present value of the
properties at 100000. Company Of

Another feature of the Ellis order
was recognition by the commission
that the value given by utilities at

bearing on the values for rate max

AIDS OF LAVAL
WILL URGE u. S.
TARIFF SLASH
Premier'S Assistants viii
Discuss World Wide
Rate Cuts.
BY RALPH HEINZEN
United Press STAFF Correspondent

ABOARD S. S. LIE DE FRANCE,
Oct. 20.-Premier Pierre Laval does
not plan TO discuss with President
Hoover reduction of tariff, but
others in his party may discuss the
subject with American industrialists.
The premier was urged by French
1ndustrialists, through Leon Meyer,
Socialist mayor Of lie Havre, to take
up tariff reductions with the Pres
1dent. 1t was the last appeal made
to Laval before he boarded the lie
DE France.
e Professor Charles Rist, honorary
governor Of the Bank of France,
accompanying Laval, intends to talk
with American manufacturers and
members Of the government and
likely will make possible world re-
uuction part Of his observations.
Reductions Are Unlikely
Rist said that France would well
come American initiative as a pre-
Jude to lower tariffs throughout the
world.
He believed reductions in France
and the United States unlikely at
present, however, because of forth
coming elections. He said Germany
probably would be the first to offer
mutual reductions to nations agree
ing to lower tariffs on German
goods.
Rist was pessimistic regarding the
unemployment situation, predicting
increases in France and the United
States. He blamed exaggerated
tariffs, Although he is an advocate
of limited tariffs rather than free
trade.
Ahead of Schedule
The lie De France continued to be
hours ahead Of schedule today. The
ship will reach quarantine early
Thursday, but there is expected to
be no change in the plans for the
landing Of Laval and his party.
They will go ashore at 9 a. m. and
be welcomed by Henry L. Stimson,
secretary Of state, and other Off
Gals Of the government and the city
oil New YORK.
Laval and the experts accompany
Ing him to Washington considered
the official French program COM
.plete today. The security disarma-
ment thesis follows the general out
line Of that presented to the League
of Nations, although Laval is ex-
pected to make concessions in re-
duction Of armament budgets with
out a corresponding sacrifice Of ac-
tual man power.
: France will urge an "irreducable
minimum" of war debts and repara-
Lions. Laval intimated he would not
make proposal on reparations, but
would await the opportunity to
reply to American overtures.

port appropriation bill, hacked to
pieces and repatched several times
In committee, finally is in concrete
form and recommended to the house

Apparently doomed to indefinite
postponement Or at best an appro-
priation described as "paltry," the
airport bill suddenly took new
lease on life Wednesday when Rep
resentative Hardin S. Linke Dem,
Bartholomew, ways and means
chairman, recommended it's pass
age with $4,000 appropriation
this year and $25 1000 over a two
year period for maintenance.
AS the measure originally was in
PRODUCED by Representative Gerritt
M. Bates (Dem., Marion) an ap-
preparation of $150,000 was sought.
This demand, however, was given
short shrift in committee so a sec
ond measure at half the figure was
introduced. Ways and means mem
bers pared and Whitfield the second
bill until it was amended to appro-
pirate $4,000 over a two-year
period. Then came Linke's report
for the $4,000 appropriation pas
sage.
The funds are sought for the
benefit of the One hundred thir-
tenth observation squadron, Indi-
ana National Guard, and would be
used to build steam heated plane
hangers. Officers of the squadron
