AN INFAMOUS ACT

Read very carefully the decision of one Cuthbertson

crbed only Infamous surrender to the most greedy
public utilities.
The order says that the company is losing revenue and
that the public must bear the cost.
Yet within the last few months the company published
the world the declaration that its net for the
twelve months ended Sept 3d. 1881, $1226S6 more

1t is not interested in the huge fees charged for engineer

Nor is it interested in the long contract with insult for
high rates. although it's plant can manufacture

Aside from this refusal to investigate the demands
for relief the commission goes as declaring

Receipted bills paid by the city
reveal that in some instances the

City officials are expected to de-
mand refund for all amounts paid

partment.
Receipted bills in Myers possess
sion reveal that at the dog pound a
10-cent rate is charged the city, and
that at one fire station a 7-cent rate
has been charged.
The investigation is expected to
disclose whether the city has paid
rates in excess of the contract pro-

buildings under other city depart

cure legislation enabling the states
to repay the federal government.
A sum of 100000. 900 would be
available for expenditure by the

Chairman william P. Connery ex-
planned that the federal works pro-

children aren't liars, not
~ even bad" boys and girls,
and rarely does a child show a
yellow streakl
This is what Judge John F.
Geckler has concluded after one
year on the juvenile court bench
of Marion county.
Children almost always tell me
the truth" he declares. "They
seem anxious to tell straight
forward story. even when it can
do them the greatest harm.
There are cases when a boy
or girl will advance a most un-
believable tale about having
played hockey from school, and
then admit the theft of an auto
mobile.
"A confidential talk usually will
get the whole truth from a child.
Children fear disgrace"
Geckler advocates probation
rather than imprisonment, and is
extending the system by which
bad" boys and girls are made
good by trusting them.

TECKLER says he has learned
" it is better to sentence a bow
to NOW lawns, wash automobiles.
work in a grocery or Join the
Boy Scouts than send him to a
school of correction.
"A 12-year-old girl had turned
thief" Geckler related. "She
would steal articles from down
town stores, almost always giving
1t away to her girl friends. we
put her on probation. Now she is
living with her grandmother. and
has not been in trouble since.
The foremost cause of juvenile
delinquency, Judge Geckler SAYS. is
poverty. Heredity and environ
ment determine a child's char
acter, and environment is most
important.
hayward youths generally come
from broken homes, and become
good citizens when taken away
from unfavorable environments
Geckler believes.

Money in circulation declined
Sl7,000,000, which is 100000 less
than the average decline for this
week in recent years. In view of
the fact that many communities
are without banking facilities of any
kind. necessitating use of larger
supplies of cash, the decline was
interpreted favorably as a further
evidence of reduction of currency

Wheat Eases Of From Highs
Retention of the New York fed

by further buying operations in
United States government bonds.
Wheat eased off moderate

Paris, closing at $685. francs to
