OFFICIALS WAR
ON WRIT PLEA
IN WATER CASE
City and State Join Fight
to Hold CuthbertSon
Rate Schedule.

City and state officials and civic
leaders today prepared to oppose
suit filed by the indianapolis Water
Company in federal court Friday for
an interlocutory injunction against
enforcement of the new CuthbertSon
water rate schedule.
State officials expressed surprise
over filing Of the suit in view of the
fact the rates are temporary only,
and an audit and appraisal of the
company's property, on which per-
manent rates will be based, probably
will be completed in three months.
Hearing on the injunction plea
has been set tentatively by Federal
Judge Robert c. Baltzell for July Is
before three judges. Baltzen refused
to grant a temporary restraining
order.
Charges Rates COnfiScatOry
The company, in its suit for in
junction against the public service
commission order, charges the re-
duced rates are confiScatory in that
they prevent the company from re-
ceiving an adequate return Of
revenue.
City officials and civic organiza-
ton leaders have indicated they
will join with the commission in re-
siSting the suit
Commissioner Harry K. Cuthbert-
son, who wrote the rate order, an
nounced he personally would appear
in court to defend it. He is a law
yer and former member of the state
senate from Peru.
The rate order written by Cuth-
bertSon April l reduced the mini
mum charge for small consumers
from $3.50 for TOO cubic feet a
month to $108 for 500 feet, at the
same time increasing rates paid by
consumers of more than TOO cubic
feet of water month.
Granted Moynahan Plea
Superior Judge Joseph R. Williams
several weeks ago granted petition
Of eight apartment house COM
panies, headed by T. A. Moynahan,
for injunction against the increases
for large users.
A second commission order sus-
tanning the $108 minimum rate and
granting lower rate for large users
was issued June II by Cuthbertson.
This second order also left the civil
city its $65,000 water bill cut granted
in the first order.
Following the Williams decision.
the company asked the commission
for an audit, appraisal and inven-
tory OF its property as basis for per-
manent rates.
The company, in its federal suit.
charges that evidence before the
commission showed its valuation was
$26, 456,1 52, instead of $21,118,252. as
fixed by Cuthbertson in his June
II order.
Predict Revenue Loss
The new rates, it is charged, will
result in a revenue loss of $228. 300
a year compared with revenue de-
rived from rates in effect prior to
April /.
The company further asserts that
the present rate order will give the
company only $50 per cent return
on the commissions valuation fig
ure, or 4.46 per cent on the COM
pany'S own valuation figure, instead
OF the 8 per cent return to which
the company claims it is entitled.
Regardless of decision of the three
judges, it is expected appeal will be
sought to the United States supreme
court.

On issues affecting prohi-
bition, business and industry,
these three regimes tried to
appeal to the states of the
west having large electoral
votes.
The theme song was the Side
walks of New York and its hero
the child of the tenement district
Of lower Manhattan.
Appeal in South and West
The new Roosevelt dynasty is
counted on to relegate many of this
group to the background because
it was they who most bitterly OPP
p~sed Roosevelt's nomination.
He is expected to direct his APP
peal to the south and west, which
furnished the votes for his nomina-
tons, and try to win in November
with the support of these sections
His managers already outline a
campaign similar to that which
Woodrow Wilson conducted in 1916,
when he won without the votes of
key states in the east and middle
west.
In fact, Frank Hague IN. j.,
Smith manager, and Governor Jo-
seph B. Ely (Mass), who support
cd Smith, virtually forecloSed their
states against Roosevelt in the cleo
ton.
Hague called the New York Gov
crnor the candidate of the country
as against the cities, and the
Roosevelt people made the most OF
this attack.
Champion of Country Folk
They retorted that large business
influences headed the movement to
block his nomination.
"You people in the cities don't
grow the kind of people we do in the
country" Roosevelt once wrote, al
though you grow good people"
The figures who put over Roose-
welt hail from the west and south,
and it is believed they will have a
more important place in party coun-
ellis than the nominees enemies.
They include such men as Will
liam G. McAdoo (CaD, Speaker
John N. Garner (TexO, Senators
Burton K. Wheeler and Thomas j.
Walsh (Mont), Clarence G. Dill
(Wash), Huey P. Long Ga) and
Pat Harrison (Nfiss).
Farley to Succeed RaskOb
Except for the last named, these
men almost have nothing in COM
mon with the group which has
headed the party since 1920.
Another elder who may be swept
into the wings is Senator Carter
Glass (Va). The senator backed
Ex-Governor Harry F. Byrd (Va),
and clashed openly with the man
who made possible Roosevelt's nomi-
nation-McAdoo.
While selection of a national
chairman has not been made, it is
expected the post will be taken from
John j. Raskob, Smiths friend, and
turned over to James A. Farley,
Roosevelt's manager.
AS prophetic of changes, both
Raskob and Glen Shaver, who
handled the Davis 1924 campaign,
were forgotten men" here.
The three presidential candidates
since 1920 including Cox, whose
running mate Roosevelt then was,
were lined up in the anti Roosevelt
camp.
Need Forest of Olive Branches
The Roosevelt people realize that
their most difficult task is to placate
their vanquiShed foes.
The one link with some in this
group is Farley, a Tammany mem
Der, and close friend of Smith in
other days.
Despite the bitterness which pre-
vailed at the convention, Farley has
indicated he Immediately will as
sumo the role of peacemaker.
But it will take forest of olive
branches to conceal the weapons
which flashed in the all-night battle
at the convention stadium.

of the state of Minnesota know
Mr.. Christensen. Next in line we
might call on Mr.. Brown, since Mr..
Brown is farmer like most Of us,
but is a millionaire instead of going
bankrupt. We would appoint him as
chief state agricultural advisor.
Voters that voted for Mr.. Olson two
years ago, but who are for Mr.. Brown
now, could visit him now and then,
and Mr.. Brown could explain to
them the workings Of the Repub-
lican tariff on hides, when a person
gets only soc for cow hide, which
is not enough to pay shipping charges,
and in turn can go into any store and
pay from two to five dollars for a pair
of shoes. In other words, daylight
robbery practiced on defenseless
farmers.
Mr.. Brown would not have to be
very careful as to his line of talk, as
the st. Paul Pioneer Press like other
big Independent newspapers, knows
very we'll what to print in order to
mold proper public opinion just be-
fore an election.
Next in line we might call on Mr.
Regain, since Mr.. Regain wants to
know who's who on the booze ques-
ton. We should appoint him as a
state beer warehouse manager and as
John leans toward the wet side, we
might also appoint him as a sample
beer tester, so that the public would
get only the best of quality preventing
headaches and so on. Next in line
selecting the nine congressman would
be the hardest job of any men on the
whole program, as some of these men
might be willing to uphold HoOver's
leadership, for which l would not
want to take any responsibility. But
on the other hand, as a tribute of
honor l would be willing to bestow
this privilege to the Is Democrats and
II Republicans that voted against the
Frazier bill, a bill that was meant
for the common men.
The above is only a suggestion on
my part and could be greatly improved
to the delight of some of the voters
that voted for Mr.. Olson two years
ago, but who are now for Mr.. Brown.
When the above merger is in full ac-
ton, taxes should go down swiftly and
effectively and Republican prosperity
will shoot right up. But knowing
from the bitter experience taught by
the school of hard knocks for the last
ten years, the only thing to do for
most of us would be to see and hire
Governor Olson for the most impor
tant job any man ever had for the
last 100 years or so, regardless of
creed, color, or religion. His job
would be that of a state historian for
the next two years, writing down his
tory on 1.-The last days of Republican
rule in the State of Minnesota
