Bureau Bears Out

Continued from page one)
This rate schedule is made available
to public utilities for resale to ulti
mate consumers in areas in which
electric service is not available from
existing facilities of the Company
The schedule is also available to Rur-
al Electrification Cooperative Assoc
iations which cannot meet the re-
quirements of the Company's Firm
Power Rate Schedule REA-50. The
rate is Of considerably higher level
than the Bureaus rates, and the rate
schedule contains number of i'm
portant provisions which are made
subject to contract negotiation with
each individual customer which might
require electric service.
All municipal utilities are auto
matically excluded from service un-
der the REA = so and REA G = so
schedules by provisions in the avail
ability clauses. 1t is doubtful if ex-
isting or future municipally-owned
electric utilities would be eligible
Tor service even under this W-50
schedule which is at much higher
rate level. AS this schedule applies to
rural co-operatives not eligible for
the special REA rate, it seems ap-
parent that the Company believes all
co-operatives would not receive SER
vice at the special rate, and that SER
vice would be actually supplied at
relatively higher cost.
Please let us know if we can be
of further service to you,
Sincerely yours,

Co-ops Under Fire In
Congress

Washington, May 25-Rep. Ma
SON, R., Illinois, is urging passage
of a bill in Congress which he
says will tax co-operatives "fair-
ly" by making them pay $780,
100000 yearly to the government.
Mason's proposal would tax at the
cooperative, patrons dividends
which are now also taxed in the
patrons pockets. If the co-oPs
have to pay the $500, 100000 in
addition to the many taxes they
now pay, coop stockholders will
be digging deeper into their own
personal funds to keep their busi-
ness institutions solvent.

slightly more. 1t is paying for
medical care on the installment
plan. Employers would match
premiums paid by people on their
payroll"
In this way health costs would be
spread widely. The spread of dis
ease is recognized as the response
bility of all. Why not make all re-
sponsible for the cost of stopping
the spread of disease?
Each citizen would choose his
own doctor.
Each doctor would choose his

Then ALL citizens could budget

Each state would operate it's own

under the plan would be in the local

More People Fishing;
Some Forget License

Fishing license sales in Ohio at
the end of June were running behind
last years all-time high sales by
about $4,000, but the total for the
year is expected to be about the
same as last year.
Fishermen last year bought around
$4,000 resident, $1,000 temporary
nonresident and 10000 annual nom
resident licenses. These fishermen,
together with those under 18 years
of age and those who fish on their
own lands and not required to buy a
license, make up an estimated total
of around a million and a quarter
fishermen.
Field men of the wildlife division
report that the number of people
fishing appears to be greater than
last year and that there has been a
considerable increase in the number
of persons arrested for fishing with
out licenses. Some game protectors
claim that this increase in no-license
violations could be the result of re
pealing of the fishing license badge
law, doing away with the require
ment that fishermen display the Ii
cense in badge holder on an outer
garment.

Lee Christmas
BY Elmo Scott Watson

WHEN Lee Christmas was engi-
w neer for the Yazoo & Missis-
sippi railroad, he got into a scrape
and was sent to jail. His fellow
trainmen dynamited the building
and got him out. That's how his
adventurous life happened, literally,
to start with bangl
Then he went to Guatemala and
got into another fracas. No dyna-
<1iting was necessary this time,
however, as he shot the officer
and several members of the group
that were sent to arrest him. Then
the entire army was called upon to
capture him.
Running through side streets, he
saw the rear door of an unguarded
armory open, ran in and barricaded
himself. He found more than thou
sand rifles, plenty Of ammunition
and many Ioopholes. He went
around the building for q day and a
half, firing as fast as he could from
one hole after the other. Not only
did he give the impression that he
was more than one man, but he
actually killed about 80 soldiers.
He didn't come out until, of all
things, they offered him not only his
liberty but a commission in the
army.
He won 36 big battles in Central
America and even went so far as
to start revolution of his own in
Honduras-and won it. Later he
succeeded in getting into the United
States army intelligence service
with an assignment to Central
America. In 1923 he died peace
fully in hospital in New Orleans.
