MintOn Is EIated

Sherman MintOn, public counselor
before the public service commits
sion, received with elatiOn today
the news from Washington that
President Roosevelt favors legisla-
ton that would remove public util-
tiles engaged only in intra- state
business from jurisdiction of the
federal courts.
Mr.. Minton announced that ne
would represent Indiana at ma
tiOn-Wide meeting of public serv-
ice officials to be held in Washing
ton Tuesday. The public service of
f1cials from all states will meet with
the judiciary committee of congress
to discuss public utility measures.
The bill introduced by Senator
Hiram Johnson, California. provid-
ing that federal courts be closed to
public utility appeals on rates set
by state commissions, is the only
way out of the desperate situation
now confronting consumers in Indi-
ana and throughout the country"
said Mr. Minton.
The public utilities Of this state
should be made to go through the
state courts in order to justify their
rates." he added When they get
into federal court it means a long,
tedious review of the whole. case
with no benefit to the consumer.
The Indianapolis Water Com
pany case is an example of the red
tape with which utilities surround
themselves when they get into diff
f1cultieS over rates. That case has
been dragging along in the federal
court for months and is still far
from complication. 1t is a shame
full waste of time and money.
Mr.. Minton revealed that he will
take up not only the case of the
local water company with the con-
gressional committee in Washington
but also the cases of the IndIanapo-
lis Power and Light Company, the
South Bend gas case, the ROckport
water and electricity case, the Vim
cennes water case and other pend
ing rate cases in the state and city.

the blue eagle codes, he prom
ised, will be corrected in this same
gold fish bowl, under the full
vision of the entire American peo-
Pile"
This public program of code cor
rection, he said, is without prece-
dent.
First" he said, mo great gov

unfairly exposed itself to a general
public review; and
Second, neither here nor in any
other country has it ever been pos
sible to hold a responsible and rep
resentative industrial and economic
