Remember the highways -have cost us millions and hauling •heavy loads over them is very ..foolish for it destroys them and .makes necessary rebuilding. According to Dr. East, of Harvard. by the year 2,500, the earth ••vill be inhabited by one hybred .race, a mixture of Chinaman. Turk, "Englishman, German.

I less idle men, fewer empty houses and most of us have managed to keep most of our debts paid. We are ready to go and will when bus- ! iness opens up and It has started already. The business men can help a lot by advertising. That will t sell your goods and will give every one greater confidence. Start this t week and make your appropriation large enough to give it a genuine ■ try out. I I Congress passes the relief bills I so promptly that we are inclined • to believe they enjoy It. believing i I that they are thus making a hit I back home. That's doubtful in some instances. Os course in cases where government aid is necessary the people want it allowed but i there are so many cases just now where it is difficult to tell whether the aid is a benefit or not that we have grave doubts of the action always being popular. Better times and fewer breadlines with more jobs is the demand and a few dollars occasionally will never take 1 the place of that. — —- The legislature is around the 'corner. Organization will be made tomorrow night and on Thursday 'the speaker of the house and the I lieutenant governor will rap for 1 order, the governor will give his j message and the big show will be I on. Each two years the boys meet and loaf the first four weeks and then work so rapidly the last four; that no one can tell just what is going on. Titis year there is so much of importance to be considered that the folks back home are [ hoping they will get down to bus-I iness quickly and sanely and provide some laws that will make tax paying easier and general conditions better. Even now and then something in human affairs is so striking as to cause wonder if the millineum is not around the corner. There's William F, Tompkins, of Detroit, i who left a provision in his will, that in case his wife should remarry, enough capital should be set aside to establish the new husband in business, or a profession. Was there ever known such a magnanimous man? Usually a man is »o selfish as to cut off the income should the wife take another ‘ husband, but the husband, many | times, has no hesitancy in casting .about for another wife as soon as ihe can find one. You will remem- \ her the story of the old skinflint j who objected to a serenading i . party. He had lost his wife one day and married the next week. With his voice filled with tears he appeared at the front of his home iwith the complaint: “Boys, you ought to be ashamed of yourselves, raising so much noise. Don't you know there was a funeral in this .house just a few days ago?” Was lit any wonder that the boys did I not break down and shed copious I tears? They kept up the revelry until the old man had to buy them some popcorn, peanuts and candy. The moral is, you might fool yourj self by thinking you can fool the P ople. but you ran never get away with it. —Hartford City News. t _ j —; — o * TWENTY YEARS ~ AGO TODAY From he Dal.y Democrat File January 6—Spelling bees will be I held in every township tomorrow evening.

The president ot the association. Otto D. Ilieberich, had charge ot the meeting and after the roll call and report of the minutes, read by the secretary, Peter D. Schwartz. Dn Dobson had charge of the evening's program. Dr. Dobson explained how the disease. Contagious Abortion, can be passed from one animal to another. and dwelt on the reliability of the blood testing method in the i protection of the disease. He also called attention to the possible changes in the methods of herd management that would help control this disease. He recommended Bull pens, isolation of cows at calving time, keeping cattle off the manure pile and preventing them from drinking liquid manure water. Sanitation took on a new meaning to those who heard Dr. Dobson, who painted his picture in a vivid man- : ner. A. Z. Smith and son and Otto D. Bieberich announced that they expected to attend the Indiana State Dairy Association Annual meeting to be held dining the Agricultural Conference week at Purdue University. Their reports will make the ( basis for the next herd association , meeting to be held in the near fu- ■ ture. Discussion Held Dr. J. O. R. Campbell of Geneva, Dr. G. C. Emrick of Berne and Dr. |G.

e— •—"•• . — •■ PUBLIC BENEFITS | from STATE REGULATION l! and HOLDING COMPANIES f( to public utility service ppread across the boundary lines of municipalities to reach those who lived on the out- g J skirts of cities and towns and on farms, and to interconnect neighboring communities, state regulation came into beuag. Otherwise there would have been no regulation of utility service except local control by cities aud towns. 1 his would HB have been discriminatory. When the constantly increasing demand for senice made it Kr difficult for local utility companies to raise capital for necessary expansion, the holding or investment company came r . into existence. The pooling of resources and the joining of adjacent cities and companies by electric and in many » instances with gas transmission lines, made possible by hold- , ing company control, brought to the people of Indiana and other states better utility service and at lowered rates. IB State regulation of utilities and the formation of holding HP companies have been a natural economic development through which the public is benefited. ’ Without state regulation there would have been no govern- ‘ mental supervision of utility service and of rates charged to ■ e customers outside of municipalities. HE Without the development of holding companies, operation of most utility companies would have been restricted to single communities or small groups of towns. There would have been natural barriers to the expansion of utility service. This would have restricted the growth of communities be- , cause industrial development is dependent upon adequate B and reliable public utility service. * Some people seem to think that now, since electric transmission lines cross state boundaries, state regulation is no Sk longer sufficient and that some form of federal regulation ms necessary. T'here i i great difference, however, between electric transmission lines crossing city or county lines and crossing state lines. Generally speaking, public utility oper- I ating companies coniine their operations almost wholly within states. They are essentially local institutions. In 1929 only H To pey cent of all the electrical energy generated in the United States was transmitted across state lines. Moreover, E) the fact that energy has been transmitted across a state line H does not of itself pi event the state government from regulat- ■ ing the rates at which such energy is sold to customers. K Some people think that holding companies should be regu- K lated. Holding companies, however, are merely investment » companies. They control public utility operating companies B only through ownership of their stock. The issuance of stock K of operating companies is controlled in this state by the E k Public Service Commission of Indiana. No stock of an oper- E ating company- is authorized without a requirement by the E Commission that the money received through the sale of B securities will be spent for improvements to the plant and £ property of the company. ? - RatesofoperatingcompaniesarecontroUedbytheCommission. E Rates are based on a fair valuat.ou of a company’s propertv, I and are fixed at a level which will permit theWilycompZ £ o earn only a reasonable return on such a valuation. iJwiU E thus be seen that the earnings that a holding company can B receive as a stockholder of an operating company are directly E controlled by the Pubbc Service Commission. ?
