Last I year operating receipts of the class I "A ’ roads totaled more than three W billion dollars. The industry paid HI out 31,336,539,1139 in salaries and I wages; $158,397,312 for fuel; $441.185,067 for materials and supplies and other items of expense, totaling altogether, $2,371,038,982. For taxes the railroads paid $2,620,662,172. which with other charges left the railroads $153,636,050 in the red. A big business, but not very profitable The City Plant made $30,000 last year, over*and above depreciation charges and without charging the civil city anything for street lighting and fire hydrant rentals, two services estimated worth 12 to 15 thousand dollars a year. This profit was earned after the plan! reduced the light anti power rates, effective last hebruaity. The reports show these savings to patrons at about $14,000, a vary tidy sum. The net profit, although sizeable, is not excessive when the city’s investment in plant machinery and equipment is considered. It is proof that the U utility is furnishing current at the ■ lowest cost possible to pations and

that it has been the pulley of those i n charge to keep rates at a mini- ■ mum. I‘ruflts might be doubled it rates were higher, but where pould be the advantage of municipal ownership in such a method? “better A SHORTER BALLOT; it The proposal to make the attorr - ney general elective is not likely it , i . to make a strong appeal to any l one. Republican tn* Democrat. The 2 students of government are very generally agreed that the tendency 5 should be in the direction of a 5 short ballot. We select a chief ex- ? ecutive to be the head of the state e government and he should be in charge, just as at Washington. We I elect elegislators to make laws and judges to administer them. The list of officials is us necessity long and should be made shorter where that is possible. . How many voters who mark s their ballots know anything about i. the qualifications of the candidates for superintendent of public instruction, for clerk of the Supreme Court, for auditor, treasurer or secretary of state? The aspirants > for those positions are just names t on the party ballot and put there for partisan reasons. The fact that a man is elected attorney general j by the people is no assurance of i capacity for the place, but merely I means he had the political pull I and good fortune to get on the 11 winning ticket. The Governor should be able to I pick an attorney general because i of ability, fie could name others I to head state departments, just as ■ does the President at Washington. ; The judges of the Supreme Court should be entrusted to select their , f own clerk, just as the state educa- - tional board should say who is to i!be superintendent us public instruction. Nothing is accomplished by the fiction that the people will I ■ do a better job of picking officials. 1 -about whom they know- little and ’ I care less, to perform specialized < <I functions.—lndianapolis Star. o 4 , — # Modern Etiquette * By ROBERTA LEE Q.

BUTTER PRICES COING HIGHER Prices Os Butter And Cheese Have Shown Sharp Increase ■ — Washington. Jan. 25. (Special) I —Prices of butler and cheese have . increased sharply in the last weeks, due largely to reduced pro-, duction. according to the bureau of agricultural economics. Total milk production on January 1 was 9 to 10 per cent less than it was. January 1. 1934. Total domestic supplies of dairy , products during the remainder of the feeding period are expected to. be smaller than a year ago, and a| less than overage seasonal decline in prices is in prospect. Prices of butter have increased; more in the United States than in England, with the result that the, margin between domestic and for j eign prices is more than the: amount of the import tariff. Cur-, rent reports indicate that some New Zealand butter is being imported into the United States, al- j though in small volume. Cold storage stocks of butter in 1 the United States on January 1 U-; taled 47,100.000 pounds compared. with 111,200,000 pounds a year ago. Stocks of American cheese were i 89.800,000 pounds compared with. 77,800,000 pounds on January 1.1 1934. On a milk equivalent basis, stocks, of butter and cheese on January 1 were 39 per cent less than a year ago.

MONTREAL, Que. — Winter, icy scourge ot the destitute and itmmiployed in most countries of the world’s temperate zone, is the good knight and boon companion of the nearly 3.000.000 citizens ot this hardy French Canadian province. While cities in the United States, England, France and other nations are wresting with the annual winter increase in unemployment and trying valiantly to teed and clothe the needy, Quebec, although deeply blanketed with Arctic snow and ice, solves its relief problems by putting thousands ot men to work in one ot its most profitable businesses—the winter sports industry. With the first, heavy fall of snow, Quebec sets to with a vengeance. Modern machinery and a budget of a quarter ot a million dollars begin the task of keeping main highways open to the 100,000 or more Canadians and Americans who flock into the province and its winter sports centres.
