trict Court today had under ad-
visement petition for appeal from

turn was estimated under the So
called sliding scale arrangement.
The appeal which was flled by

which Justice Bailey took the case
under advisemcnt
The reduction ordered by the

proximately $l32.800 for the year
to consumers, The PUG order was
to have gone into effect last No
vember but Justice Dickinson Let's
Of District Court ordered a sus-
pension of the commissions order,
penang the outcome OF the appeal.

commission erred in fixing the pri-
mary rate of return at S,75 per cent
and claims that the minimum rate
Of return which may be allowed
under the constitution is 6.67 per
cent. 1t further claims that under
present day conditions return Of
CTS per cent should be allowed.
The company insisted there was
no dispute as to the amount of the
cost of capital and that the COM
mission should allow that amount
in fixing the rate of return.
The case was argued for the gas
company by Attorney E. Barrett
Prettyman while Assistant Corpora
tion Counsel Lloyd B. Harrison rep
resented the PUG.

a
watched the hotel guests rush to
the doors to see Gov. Dewey enter,
as they resisted or gave way to the
urge to move into the range of the
cameras pointed at Dewey, as they
observed the newspapermen gather
about him, the other Governors
seemed to ask themselves, what is
the secret of this man who knows
how to influence people without
making friends? For Dewey could
not be said to be popular with the
other governors.
Leaves Them Cold.
It's an extraordinary thing. The
man whom his party is expected to
nominate before this month is out
the man obviously regarded as the
party's greatest vote-getter, appears
to leave the State leaders of his
party quite cold-those whom he
doesn't leave hot, such as Gov.
cDon't call me Dewey'') Bricker.
II can't be merely because Dewey
Is young; Stassen of Minnesota Is
even younger and he doesn't affect
his political peers in the same way.
It can't be because he Is more
competent than the others, which
he may be; executives are quick to
recognize and respect competence
in others. 1t can't be because he
doesn't use the right words; Mr..
Dewey has learned them all and
uses them readily. This is a
pleasure, indeed" he says. Nov
you're no longer just a name to
me-" 1t can't be because he tries
to do all the talking; on the con-
trary, he listens. 1t can't be be-
cause Mr.. Dewey is from the big
city: the other Governors do not
consider themselves hicks. It isn't
envy; or If 1t Is, 1t is not a mean
envy.
It's hard to understand. There's
warm color about Mr.. Dewey's
eyes when he breaks his self
concentration and listens intently to
the views of others, there's a quick
flash of white teeth when he
smiles; he doesn't really seem cold.
Maybe the answer lies in his
shoulders. When he walks away
there's controlled swagger in his
trim and tight shoulders, suggesting
a self-satisfaction that had not
appeared on his face. Maybe
there's the answer, but it hardly
seems adequate.
Doesn't "Send" Them.
How important all this is, there
will. be no way of knowing until
November, assuming that Mr..
Dewey will have decided ins the
meantime not to refuse the Presi-
Dental nomination. 1t is easily pos
sible that Mr.. Dewey will not affect
the voters the way he affects the
Governors.
II you have any jitterbug young
sters around the house, you doubt
less have learned by now the new
meaning they have given the word
send" He sends me-" they say
or, "She doesn't send me-" It seems
to mean pleasant emotional re-
action. Definitely Mr.. Dewey
doesn't send" the other Republi-
can Governors and more than one
Of them has a strong private doubt
that he will send" the American
people. But they could be wrong
You doubtless don't understand
why certain boys send" your
daughters, but you have the
daughters starry-eyed assurance
that they do.
