HOPE, COURAGE SHOWN IN FILM
 AT CAPITOL
Looking Forward Starring Lionel Barrymore Has
 Inspiring Plot

The invigorating acting of Lionel Barrymore, the discerning direction of Clarence Brown, and a film story which touches the hearts of the millions who have found their lives altered as result of the worldwide depression, makes Look ing Forward" which opened last night at the Capitol Theatre, one of the most profoundly stirring photoplays to reach the screen in some time.
 It is reported that this picture, before being released to the gen. eral public, was unreeled at the White House before President Franklin D. Roosevelt, who was so impressed by it's inspiring story Of hope and courage, that he permit ted its producers, Metro-G -Goldwyn- M a y r-Cosmopolitan. to use the title of his recently acclaimed book, Looking Forward" for the pie ture. This gesture will be easily understood by those who view the new film drama and are moved by it's tremendously human theme.
 Simple and Direct
 Simple, direct, it tells it's story in terms that everyone can under stand. The background is a great London department store. Lewis Stone is the millionaire who owns the store; Barrymore is the old faithful bookkeeper who has de- voted almost a lifetime to his hum- ble work.
 The plot deals with two men and the women they love, ano shows how while one woman drags her husband to ruin the other lifts hers to power through her faith and love. An elaborate cast SUD- ports Barrymore, including Benita Hume, Elizabeth Allan, Phillips Holmes, Colin Give, Alec B. Fran ciS, Doris Lloyd, Halliwell Hobbes Douglas Walton and number of others.

INDIANA UTILITIES
PUT ON DEFENSIVE
New Legislation Allows Com
mission to Call Companies
to Carpet at Will.
Special Dispatch to The Star.


INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, January g.
Public utilities in Indiana, especially
those engaged in supplying electricity
and gas, have been placed on the de-
fensive.
The Public Service Commission. work
ing under a law revised by the last
Legislature, has laid down policy that
it may, whenever the facts justify, order
operating companies in to show cause
why their rates should not be reduced.
Thus the burden of defense. contrary
to the practice that prevailed in the
past, has fallen upon the utilities.
The first big company to be hailed
in was the Indianapolis Power & Light
Co., which supplies current in the
capital city. The public defender, !"
Sherman Minton, a new adjunct to the
Public Service Commission, in moving
to readiust power and domestic current
rates in indianapolis, charged that the
company had written up" its fair val
uation by about $4,000, 900.
The company, controlled by Harley
Clarke, Chicago utility operator, was
developed out Of merger Of two COM
peting companies in 1927. Although
testimony was given to the effect that
the valuation of the combined concerns
was approximately $22,000,000 the old
Public Service Commission approved q
valuation Of S48.000,000. A member OF
the Public Service Commission and the
CORPORATION counsel of Indianapolis,
however. resigned before the order was
finally approved.
In a crusade against electric rates in
Lake County. highly industrlalized
corner of Indiana, the grand jury mao
indicted seven officials of the Northern
Indiana Public Service Co., belonging
to the now defunct insult power EN-
pire. Included in those charged with
embezzlement and grand larceny are
samuel insult, jr.; Charles w. Chase,
nresident of the indianapolis Street
RAILWAYS Co., and Morse Dell Plain,
president of the Northern Indiana COM
pany. .
The indictments, something new IN
the way of criminal action in this State,
charge that the Northern Indiana ofn-
cials made improper entries IN their
books in favor of the Midland Utility
Co.. an insult holding organization. BY
doing so. the indictment charges. the
officials diverted funds that properly be-
longed to the stockholders OF the North
ern Indiana.
In addition to bringing the indict-
ments. the grand jury asked the Public
Service Commission to make an investi-
CATION with view to ordering lower
rates in Lake County. The grand jury
report contended that the rates could
be reduced at least so per cent without
impairment Of service.
II, tho meantime the INDIANAPOLIS
Water Co., controlled by C. H. Geist OF
Philadelphia. has pending in the United
States District Court a petition for an
injunction to prevent the Public Service
Commission from enforcing rate cut
ordered several months ago. 1t was in
an action brought by the Indianapolis
Water Co. through the same channels
several years ago that the United States
Supreme Court laid down the dictum
that reproduction costs should be the
yardstick for utility valuations.

Grants and loans from the Public
Works Administration asked for Ala
bama will total more than S36,000000
when all applications have been eX-
amined and those approved sent to
Washington, according to an estimate
made here this week by Milton J.
Fies, chairman of the Alabama P. w.
A. Advisory Board.
This announcement tended to set at
rest fears that Alabama had been too
slow in filing applications with the P.
w. A. and would get very little of the
amount appropriated by Congress for
this phase of the recovery program.
Seven Formally Approved.
Mr.. Fies showed that only seven
projects had been formally approved
BY washington authorities. These in
ciude waterworks at Heflin and at
Sulligent, for a total Of 100000. The
total Of the seven projects in the
State for which money has been made
available is 81, ,467 900.
Seventy-two projects. totaltng So
784,691, have been approved by the
State authorities and sent TO Washing
ton for consideration. Another SO
projects are being studied by engineers
of the State organization. with an esti-
mated cost Of s2O,29l,352 There is
grand total Of 181 applications in the
State with $32,743,7l6. Prospective ap-
plications, said Mr.. Fies, would bring
the grand total to 26l projects and a
cost Of $40.004,863
Acting upon a plea from Washington.
Mr.. Ffes is urging local communities
to make applications as rapidly as
possible.
Other Phases Moving.
other phases of the recovery program
in Alabama are moving ahead steadily.
Alabama farmers this week began sign
ing up agreements offered by the Fed
eral administration in an effort to re-
duce next years cotton acreage. 1t is
hoped to reduce Alabama's acreage to
approximately 100000 acres, or about
half of what was planted last year.

GUIDANCE Of COURT
URGED IN TAX ROW
West Virginia Legislature
May Find Way to End
S25,0O0,0O0 Deadlock.
Special Dispatch to The Star.


CHARLESTON, w. Va. January g.
The West Virginia Legislature may have
to go to the Supreme Court of Appeals
to find legal way to solve the s25, ,000,-
900 property tax muddle.
Inability to pass an enabling act that
would stand the test of constitutional
ity, has brought local governments TO
the verge of breaking down, and public
schools are beginning to close.
The suggestion that the Legislature
needed the courts assistance. came in
the dissenting opinion of Judge John
H. Hatcher. handed down late last week,
when, for the second time, an enabling
act authorizing collection of the prop
erty taxes: under the new levy limita-
ton amendment to the constitution. was
held invalid. because it provided that
the State should assume payment of
interest and sinking fund requirements,
of local school and road bonds.
Court Suggestion Plan.
Judge Hatcher proposed an unprece-
dented thing-that the court, with
propriety," could indicate to the Leeis-
lature some avenue of escape from the
tax dilemma. ....-
His opinion said in part:
THE majority decision, in its present
form, cannot serve but to increase the
perplexity of the legislators. The rock
of its enactments crumbling-the Legis-
lature is cast back into the whirlpool.
The ordinary purpose Of the judicial
opinion Is to clarity the legal situation.
1 recognize that courts should never IN
opinions such as this attempt to sway
legislative deliberations But the State
cannot endure indefinitely this depart
mental battiedore and shuttlecock.

VIRGINIA AWAITING
CONTROL LMEASURE
Session Converting Wednes-
day Likely to Give Rum Bill
Emergency Status. Il
Special Dispatch to The Star.

special DlSpdICn 70 ne quar-
RICHMOND, Va, January 6.-Vir-
ginia's General Assembly will meet in
Richmond Wednesday for a regular
session limited by the constitution to
go days. At this session, obedient to
the mandate Of the people in the ref
erendum of october last, the legis-
lators will repeal the present State pro-
hibition law, known as the Layman act,
and will enact a law prescribing a plan
of control of the sale of liquor.
There is no question but that the
General Assembly will adopt control
act. The only questions in doubt are
whether the new law will provide for
State monopoly of sale or private license
ai.d as to when the control plan will go
into effect. Under the constitution acts
of the Legislature generally go into Ell
feet 90 days after the end of legislative
session, which in this case would mean
that the proposed measure would be
effective about June Is. But by four
fifths vote of both Senate and House
an act can be made effective immedi-
ately on approval by the Governor or
as soon thereafter as the General AS
sembly may determine. Whether the
move will receive such support as to
bring about its enactment as an emer-
gency measure is a matter OF some
doubt, but general opinion is that it
will have such support.
On the question Of sale by State mo-
nopoly or private license, the hard
liquor problem will be debated, but ma
jority sentiment in the Legislature at
this time appears to favor the monopoly
plan recommended by the State Liquor
Control Committee.
