Commissioners Still Await

Commissioner Howell Ellis mo-
ton for immediate investigation of
the indianapolis Water Com
pany rate increases entered its
fourth week of inaction today due to
dilatory tactics of Chairman John
w. McCardle of the public service
commission.
For the third time Friday after
noon McCardle and Commissioner
Jere West refused to let Ellis COM

was brought up at the commission
conference.
Their reason is the same as adj

made three weeks ago-that thew

Harry K. CuthbertSon, who wrote
the rate increases in an order as
part of the compromise settlement
in the water rate reduction case, re-
turns from a rest at Martinsville.
The Ellis motion was seconded by
Commissioner Frank Singleton
when first introduced. Both Ellis
and Singleton refused to approve
the water company case settlement
on the grounds that it is illegal to
raise rates without hearing those
who must pay the increases.

Attack Is Dropped on Will
of Bartholomew D. Brooks
Involving $25O.OOO.

The 1920 will of Bartholomew D.
Brooks, West Indianapolis business
man, which left the indianapolis
Home for Aged Women, the Indian
apoliS chapter of Red Cross and
other charitable groups $250,000,
has been held valid.
Motion for dismissal by plaintiffs
attempting to set aside the will late
Friday in Hamilton circuit court at
Noblesville was sustained by Judge
Fred A. Hines and the long legal
fight closed.
With the motion for dismissal
came a story of the work of at
torneyS in tracing down a 1924 will
which had been produced by Rob-
ert Hackney, business partner of
Brooks.
Attorneys for the charitable
groups discovered paper on which
the will had been written was not
manufactured until 1925. Manu-
facturers of the paper and hand
writing experts had been summoned
as witnesses and the motion for dis
missal came suddenly with fifty
talesmen summoned for jury duty
and about seventy-f1ve witnesses
waiting to be called for testimony.
Hackney was acquitted several
weeks ago in criminal court in con-
nection with the alleged forging of
a 1880 will.
Prosecutor Herbert Wilson today
said he is considering filing perjury
charges against Hackney as result
of testimony taken in the trial.

TULSA, Okla, April 2S.-Out
l. of the depression and the
huge oversupply of nearly all COM
modities that floods the market to
the detriment of business today
may come the economic theory
that unrestricted production is bad
for public welfare.
In other words, If production Is
geared too high for market needs.
then the federal government or
the states should curtail produc-
ton to level akin to the demand,
under this new theory.
Supreme Court Justice Brandeis,
one Of the foremost liberals of the
day, sought to apply this theory
in recent dissenting opinion.
Though oyerruled by major
ity, he upheld an Oklahoma law
which had the effect of preventing
an increase in the number of ice
companies in the state.
Waving hoary constitutional
considerations, Justice Brandeis
defended the right Of the people
to meet changing economic condi-
tions of the machine age"
He expressed doubt as to wheth-
er 1T is economically wise or
morally right that men should
be permitted to add to the pro-
ducing facilities of an industry
already suffering from overcapac-
ity."
Long before Justice Brandeis ex-
pressed this view, the oil industry
had taken the same position and
applied this policy.
Menaced by a tremendous over
supply, it suddenly curtailed its
surplus production, with the re-
suit that prices have risen from
10 cents to 81 a barrel and oil is
showing other industries a path
out of the wilderness of depres-
sion.
Oil men did not begin it them
selves. State conservation laws,
given more teeth after the disas-
trous price crash of last summer,
did it for them. Now they have
seen the wisdom of balancing pro-
duction with market needs.
n
TINE recent 15-cent price in
Il crease that brought oil to ST.
a-barrel, the first advance since
last November, meant an addi-
tional income of 100000 a day
for producers in the mid-continent
area.
Tt did not mean the return of
prosperity, but it is possible in
most cases to break even on 81 oil
and in some cases-where produc-
ton costs are low-to make a
little money.
This comes as a great relief
after q year of the most tremen-

dous losses in the industry's his
tory, even though 81 doesn't ap-
proach the 81, $3.50 and SO prices
Of few years ago."
The movement for restricted
production had its start in the
great debacle of last summer,
when a new field in east Texas,
described as "the worlds largest"
came roaring in with huge surplus
production and oil broke from 81
to 10 cents barrel.
Governor Alfalfa Bill" Murray
of Oklahoma and Governor Ross
Sterling Of Texas, seeing q great
industry being carried towards de-
struction on flood of surplus oil,
hurriedly sent troops to shut
down the wells.
Out of this emergency move
came stricter state proration laws
limiting production. The wisdom
of this course proved, the oil men
adopted it.
1t was hard to convince land
owners, eager for royalties on
their oil leases, who wanted to
produce all the oil their land
would yield.
Eventually, however, they saw
the wisdom of getting more money
for less oil and the recent price
increase is taken as an indication
that the big purchasing companies
have become reconciled to this
changed viewpoint.
There is today, as there was
then, too much OIL" The differ
ence is that proration is holding
off the market a tremendous
known surplus of oil which, if
suddenly released, again would
sweep the industry into chaos.

when Governor Sterling sent
troops to shut down the field last
summer.

wells have been drilled since that
time, state proration laws are

HITS USE OF TROOPS
Ohio Mine Union Official
Sees Peace Blocked.
BIZ United Press

By United Press
CADIZ, o., April 23.-The state by
sending national guard troops into
the eastern Ohio coal fields OBJ
structed settlement of differences
between strikers and operators, John
Cirque, president of Sub-district
No. S of the United Mine Workers,
charged today.
The union official pointed out that
there were no serious disturbances
in the strikes of 1928 even though
more workers were involved, and no
troops were modified.
He said the action of Governor
George White in dispatching troops
this time was unnecessary" IN
til they are withdrawn, he said, no
settlement is possible.
The rioting last week at the
Somers mine where one striker was
killed was blamed upon the National
Miners Union, reputed Communist
organization.

Marked strengthening of the bank

federal reserve board. In March
there were only forty-hve bank

three national banks have sus-

These figures contrast with 122
failures in February and 342 in

Furthermore, banks which re-
opened in March had nearly as

closed.
