A PROMISE UNKEPT

THE evidence shows clearly that a con-
Il siderable saving can be effected by the
unified operation of the two companies. .
The combined maintenance of duplicate prop
critics will be avoided and the waste of money
in a competitive effort to get new business will
be ended
That is what the public service commission
said in 1927 in allowing the merger Of the IN
dianapolis Light and Heat Company and the
Merchants Light and Heat Company.
That was the basis upon which the citizens
of indianapolis allowed the light and power
company to have a complete monopoly in this
city The merger would eliminate duplication
and competition. Operating expenses would
be lower Hence consumers would be able to
buy electricity at far lower rates and service
would improve.
At the time this seemed like sound reason
ing. Since then it has proved to be rather a
naive point of view.
Expenses have not decreased. On the con-
trary they have increased far more rapidly
than revenues.
In five years revenues have gone up 1905
per cent while expenses have leaped in the
same period to 2266 per cent.
Remember that the greater the expense
which utility can prove by trick bookkeeping,
or otherwise, the higher the rate to the con-
sumner.
Those who put through the merger of those
two companies have failed utterly to fulfill
their glowing promises to the public. Electric
rates are far from cheap in this city, as every
one who pays light bill knows. No hired
utility statistician can convince an Indianapo-
lis householder that he is getting his moneys
worth.

CONFUSION OF IDEAS

A MONG the minor oddities Of these
n changed times there is the fact that this
Democratic administration is apt to see a
stirring battle for states rights carried on by
Republicans.
The battle lines have formed already 10
cal autonomy and state sovereignty must be
restored" is the rallying-cry of the G. o. ?.
A big Chicago Republican paper not long ago
devoted a column-long front-page editorial to
the task of proving that the Republicans
really are the heirs of the Jeffersonian tradi-
ton in politics
And if all of this seems slightly cockeyed,
to one who takes his politics in the old-timc
manner, all that can be said is that these
ere cockeyed times, and that stranger things
than Republican adherence to the doctrines
of Thomas Jefferson will yet be seem
AS matter of fact this new pother about
states rights conceals one of the fundamental
problems of the moment.
The trend toward GENERALIZATION of gov
eminent has been speeded up enormously dur
ing the past few years-not from design, but
through the logic of circumstances.
At the same time, the structure of local
government has been crumbling Cities have
been unable to collect taxes city services have
given up, policemen and teachers have gone
unpaid, municipal bonds have gone into de-
falkland the end is not yet in sight.
So we have, on the one hand a vast extern
sion of federal activities and, on the other
a swift and steady shrinkage of local gov
eminent. And while men prepare to fight
for revival of Jeffersonian principles, city
officials go to Washington begging for even
more help from the federal treasury.
Where all of this is going to end is one
of the most puzzling issues of the day. 1t
may be that the end of the emergency will
find most of the traditional set-up re-estab-
fishing ITSELF more or less automatically. Or
it may be that we shall have to admit that
the old Jeffersonian concept of government
no longer is applicable.

DERHAPS it is the result Of fem
l. mime tradition. Housework al
ways has included innumerapie kinds
Of work, and so the ladies, when
ever they started organizations.
have tried to tackle all the ills of a
world just as their grandmothers
used to tackle all domestic jobs.
AS a consequence, however, their
work overlaps and none Of it is very
well done.
I should admire the Daughters
more if they concentrated on what
obviously is their main purpose
and their original ne-dissemina-
ton Of what seems to me to be a
very peculiar kind Of propaganda
which they call patriotism. At
least this is the point that dis
tinguishes them from other orders,
and when they obscure their real
cause with so many lesser activities
they lose identity and dignity.
The country vastly would be bet
ter off if We might. some day. hold
a general convention of all national
organizations for women when each
could select a particular job and get
to work at it. If too many cooks
can spoil broth, too many causes
certainly can ruin an organization.

A Woman's Viewpoint
BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

IRON an indignant member Of
Il the D. A. R. I have received a
booklet entitled What the Daugh-
tiers Do" and most formidable
record it turns out to be.
Patriotic Education, Better
Films, Approved Schools, Conserva-
ton and Thrift, Correct Use of the
Flag, Upkeep of Library and Mag
azine, Work With Immigrants, Pa
trotic Lectures, Lantern Slides and
Radio Talks, Student Loan Funds,
Education of Girls in Practical Home
Making, Genealogical Research, Ma
tional Defense, Preservation and
Marking of Historic Spots" These
are the headings Of the record.
The Daughters, in short, are busy
with too many causes. In this par
ticular they resemble nearly all 9TH
er women's organizations, scores Of
which have student loan funds while
practically all are concerned with
programs of general uplift and some
sort Of education.
The very bigness of such orders
binders effective work. They cover
so much territory that their influ-
ence is usually very thin. In this
respect the D. A. R. is no worse
than any other, for it seems to be
a general failing of American wom-
ems clubs.

in safety and comfort than did the railroads
in their infancy. In fact, the early railroads
were much more hazardous than transport
planes ever have been.

Pagan Girl
BY CHRISTIE RUDOLPH


I dwell beneath the deep black wa
ter,
And when the night is wild and
still
I rise up and kill myself in the
moonlight.
Oh, am a crude brown pagan
daughter
That is aware of sound, and has no
will,
For I've revealed my soul on this
delicate night.
My fingers entwine the wind clouds
Of the moon,
I've made festoon Of the waver-
ing trees,
I chant shrill tune with my sea
nymph kin.
We know Of strange laughter and
sad is our doom
For we mock at the earth, and sing
With the breeze.
And stamp harsh dirge, and you
call it our sin.
When the toll Of the stars has
fallen low,
And the night bird skins DER the
cloud-ridden earth,
I'll pluck from my sea roof, moon
drenched flowers.
And glide through the water &C
quiescent and slow.
r
of birth,
That knows reason for weeping,
long night clad hours
