URGES 50-CENT WHEAT TARIFF TO HALT DROP McCumber Blames Flood of Canadian Grain for Price Slump in U. S. WILSON HOLDS SILENCE WASHINGTON, Jan. 13.—A tariff of 60 cents a bushel on wheat was urged by Senator McCumber, Republican, North Dakota, at the outset of a meeting of the Senate Finance Committee today. McCumber presided In the absence of Senator Penrose, Republican, Peuaylvanla. the chairman. McCumber declared the "enormous decllne*in the market price of American wheat," was largely due to Importations of great quantities of Canadian wheat. He advocated the fixing o' a duty of 60 cents as a "sure way to stabilise the market." Democratic Senators opposed to the emergency tariff bill are utterly at sea as to the probable attitude of President Wilson toward the measure. Since they Joined with Republican member* In overriding the President's veto of, the resolution resuscitating the War Finance Corporation, they have been cut off from communication with the White Honse. Although they are banking on the President to veto the pending tariff bill if It passes the Senate and upon their ability to prevent the President's vet > being overridden, they admitted they were ‘in the dark” as to what the President will actually do .If the measure reaches him. MAT BECOME LAW AUTOMATICALLY, A report that he may permit the bill to become a law automatically, if only as an expression of unconcern regarding the desires of Democratic Senators who deserted him when he opposed the attempt to revive the War Finance Cororatlon, reached them. It increased their admitted perplexity over the unusual situation of the Democratic leaders of the Senate being completely out of touch with the wishes of a Democratic President. Efforts to communicate with the President through Joseph P. Tumulty, his secretary, have availed Democratic Senators nothing, it is said. Their worries have been influenced by the known defection In their own ranks. EIGHT TO ELEVEN TO VOTE FOB BILL. * They haTe discovered that from eight to eleven Democratic Senators from agricultural States, as a result of strong pressure brought to bear upon them by fheir farming constituents, stand ready to Tote for the bill when it Is reported by the Senate Finance Committee. Hence the filibuster they have planned against the bill, In the form of nunier Oua amendments, ranging from the voluminous codification bill to the immigration and soldiers’ bonus measures. They Intend to delay final action. They Intend to resort to every available parliamentary and dilatory device ta prevent passage'of the bill. Several leaders declared they were confident the President would veto the hill and that it had no chance of becoming a law at this session, but even they admitted they were completely Ignorant as to "what may be passing through the President's mind." They frankly confessed they are greatly worried over the ominous siience being maintained at the White House. HARDING CONSIDERS TAX ON SALES WASHINGTON, Jan. 13—That Presi-dent-elect Harding is giving serious thought to the sales tax as one of the most important features of revenue law revision was revealed today when Representative Isaac Bacharach, New Jersey, Reubllcan member of the House Ways and Means Committee, was called to Marion for a conference.

POPULAR DEMAND FOR DISARMAMENT WASHINGTON, Jan. 13.—Popular demand for disarmament has gained such momentum throughout the wprld that governments will be forced to act to satisfy the people, In the opinion held both by members of Congress and officers of the Navj\ “Armament talk/ they point out, has been accelerated with a forcefnlness which is certain to lead to action, in the same way that Insistent “peace talk’’ hastened the signing of the armistice. Whether the statesmen in power In Europe and Asia sincerely want disarmament on a fair basis is a question which the House Naval Affairs Committee, In its hearings on disarmaments, has \pot yet determined, bnt the committee members are satisfied that the demand exists. Gen. Tasker H. Bliss believed the governments were yearning for disarmament. Secretary Daniels thought the world was in a mood to disarm, but Insisted the American Navy must be as mighty aa any other and did not explain how Great Britain would greet this proposal. Acting Secretary of State Davis said the United States "had no official knowledge” as to whether the governments of the world were sincere in their disarmament "feelers.” Significance was attached to the statement of Representative Butler of Pennsylvania that he believe* steps toward n disarmament conference would be taken within the next few month*. Butler Recently conferred with President-elect Harding.’ Rehabilitation Plan of Legion Indorsed More than 'a hundred answers to the memorial calling attention to the situation which surrounds the rehabilitation of the disabled veterans of the world war presented to the President, Presidentelect and Congress by the American Legion have been received by F. W. Galbraith, Jr., national commander of the legion. Practically *ll of these letters stated that the writers were squarely behind the legion's national plan of rehabilitation and that the legion .could count on their support. The memorial outlined the situation in regard to the disabled, suggested a remedy and urged the support of the President and Congress. Among those who have Indorsed the legion’s start Is Senator Harry S. New of Indiana. / — * Blackford Cos. Man Faces Court Order Pr>cisl to The Times. HARTFORD CITY, Ind., Jan. 13. Roy.

HOLDS PUBLIC UTILITIES NOT PROFITEERING (Continued From Page One.) s through reduced prices of necessary commodities, It bids fair, unless properly understood, to react, on utility companies in a most harmful way. Even now we hear a demand for the immediate or early reduction of rates. With few exceptions, these demands are made by honest and sincere individuals who are acting under the best of motives, but who lack information. The danger lies In the development of a widespread demand for wholesale reduction of rates which rest* its case upon a present downward trend of commodity price There are several vitally important facts which should be geuerally recognized in order that justice be done. 1. The average increase in utility rates during the past four years Is substantially less than the average Increase in the prices of necessities of life. 2. During the past four years most utilities have earned less than a fair return upon their invested capital, and equity would sec-m to require that during the next few years of downgrade j prices utility companies should be per- i mitted to recoup reasonable losses suf- ; sered In the period of upgrade prices. 3. Utility rates were not. and are i not now. based, on the peak of war and post-war operating costs and therefore a considerable reduction in commodity prices can occur before she average of. prices generally reaches -the point on . which utility rates, generally speaking, ! are now based. 4. There have been millions of dollars of deferred maintenance during the past four years which must now be taken care of. EARLY NEED OF IMPROVEMENTS. 5. One hundred million dollars should be expended for additions and Improve- j ments in the next two years by the] utilities of Indiana In order to give the j public services which are vitally necessary to the Industrial welfare," health, j comfort and convenience of the people | generally. 0. The credit of utilities has been | Impaired, and this vast sum of money: cannot be raised and the public cannot ; be served unless the credit of public utility enterprises generally Is improved through the medium of adequate reve- I nues. 7. The welfare of the State and j the country calls for a broad and svm- j pathetic understanding of these important : facts which should be of basic importance ! In the formation of regulatory policies. ! At tula point I desire to emphasize what I have said elsewhere, that It Is not odly the duty of regulatory bodies to maintain the solvency 0 f utility enterprises, but It. is their duty to se to it that the utilities which they regulate are not only solvent, but are bealthv and profitable. It is not enough merely to let a utility exist, but u should have 2 compensation which will reflect Itself in prosperous operation, g ol>tl flu *‘ r /’ credit, healthy growth and good servlc4 REWARD FOR GOOD SERVICE. Furthermore, the utility that renders the best service and shows a decor ref“ rd *>rlU obligations as an agency of the public service, should be liberal v rewarded, Just ns the utility that red “re P°or service and has little regard f.,r its fta b reward* atl ° U * should be restricted in Public service commissions may he denhl?ilv Up ? n ,m m * ln,niD th " financial stability of utility enterprises throughout understand their re risibilities and have the courage to so * i, r K P, ar t maintaining the economic well-being of the Nation. They umlerstand, perhaps more than others, the real need for a deeper understanding and appreciation of the copartnership which fa Bt * a’i? tween , utP'ty enterprises and the public, and they realize their itnpotency to act when the public service corporations inexcusably fall to act in * fliT n adequately to serre *ii „7h?. '* tbc v Primary" obligation of all utilities. Public service commissions cannot do their part unless the utility does its part. Public confidence in utility corporations must be restored. The restoration of confidence. In large mess ure, will depend on the establishment of proper public relations—open and above board practices by the utility, and most important of all, good service. The utility that convinces tin? public that it is Honestly and conscientiously striving to give the best service possible and Is frank and open In Its public relations, will Unit in most Instances, a liberal response on k of 016 P ub lic- ‘ Service first" soould be the watchword of every public service company. If, due to conditions beyond tbe control of tne company, it Is unable to give adequate service, still tbe public will respond liberally if it has been taught to know that the company Is honestly and conscientiously doing everything within !iI. po . wer I® Sire the best possible service, ints Is not an Idealistic or academic conclusion, for I have personal knowledge of many instances where the public has responded without stint when it was taught to know that the utility was diligently striving to be a real public servant. Charles L. Henry, president of the association, presided at the luncheon. HENRY RENAMED PRESIDENT. Mr. Henry was re-elected president of the association at this afternoon's session.

SHAPES FIRST DRAFT OF TALK Harding to Have Inaugural Address Ready in February. MAIUON, Ohio. Jan. 13.—Presidentelect Harding plans to complete the rough draft of liis inaugural address the first week in February, it was announced today. He has given close study recently to the pronouncements made by each of the former Presidents ou taking office, and lias collected a mass of data bearing on the problems which will face his own administration. It also bpcaine known that he expects to announce the appointment and acceptance of at least two members. of his Cabinet within the next ten days. Representation from New England in the Cabinet, it is said, was a subject of discussion today between the Presidentelect and ex-Governor It. Livingston Beeckman of Rhode Island. Ex-Governor Beeckman’s visit took on added significance when it became known that Senator W r eeks of Massachusetts Is expected to confer with Senator Harding before the end of this week. Senator Weeks has been regarded as one of the men most prominently lu mind for Secretary of War or the Navy. ■ Mrs. Ogden Reid of New York, who was closely connected with the work of Republican national committee during the campaign, and Governor Beeckman breakfasted with Senator anri Mrs. Harding. Senator Harding discussed financial conditions and the affairs of the railroads of the country with S. Davis Warfield of Baltimore,Md., president of the Association of Railway Securities Owners. Porto Rico's problems were 'placed before the next President by FellY Cordoba Davila, Porto ltlcan commissioner at Washington!, who outlined industrial and labor conditions of tbe Island In dstail. Another caller was E. G. McCone, manager of the Buffalo Commercial. Temporary abandonment of the plan for a department of public welfare Is considered by Harding, due chiefly to the demand for Government economy. One argument against the new department is that it would entail the expense of another Cabinet officer. a considerable additional clerical force and probably erection of a large building In Washington. INFRINGEMENT OF PROCESS DENIED Answer by Creosoting Company Filed in Suit. Denial of Infringement of the "Lowry processes" in the creosoting of timbers, especially railroad ties, and the charge that tfie plaintiffs were guilty of neglect in permitting the matters complained of to go on more than eleven years without taking any action, was contained in the answer filed in Federal Court today by the American Creosoting Company of this city to the amended bill of complaint ct Thomas Lowry and others' against Stoughton A. Fletcher and the creosoting company. The answer further stated that the success of the company had been due far more to the personal efforts of Alvin P. Hert than to the use of the Lowry processes. * Mr. Hert was named as defendant In the original hill of complaint, which was filed July 6, but when the amended bill was filed his mime was dropped from the list.

Mrs. Daveny. who admitted she was a married woman, testified to passing the night In Wlggen’s room, but denied the State’s accusation. The evidence showed that Mary Daveny, Viola Lyke and another woman were In a taxi which stopped near a lunchroom on Illinois street and that the taxicab driver asked Berkley If he wished to Join them in a party. Berkley got Into the machine and drove to Wlggens’ home at 4202 on the Alllsonvllle road, where they stayed a short time and the party returned to the city.

Beckley and Wlggens were arrested on affidavits filed In the juvenile court and the two men took a change of venue to Judge Collins.

Evans to recommend to the court that sentence be suspended. •"I absolutely refuse to make any kind of a recommendation,” replied Mr. Evans. Officers Installed by Capitol Y. M. I.

Two special Interurhan cars were run by the Terre Haute, Indianapolis & Eastern Traction Company for the accommodation of the assemblymen and all expenses were paid by the Rotary Club' of the Tippecanoe county seat. Many of the legislators took the outing as a combination of business and pleasure, many of them took the affair as one of business, purely, and the rest took advantage of the one-day vacation to throw off the oarei' of lawmaking and have a day of fun. According to the plans announced by the committee in charge of the trip the legislative delegation were to be met at the station In Lafayette by committees of citizens, and to be taken directly to Purdue University.

It will only be natural j for liloomington to ask the same for! Indiana University. We can’t spend ali j of our time flying about the Slate in this manner. “We had committees visit these instl tutions, and It is our duty to deliberate on their findings without consuming so ranch time In Junketing trips.”

None of the other prominent workers who have been mentioned for the place would be acceptable to the administration wing, these men stated. However, it was the statement of most city hall denlsens In a position to hear words fall from the lips of the "hlgherupa” that Irving Lemrux is going to be elected chairman. They scoffed at reports that George Lemaux is still a candidate for mayor, but insisted that the son is "going over.” **Mr. Lemeux's friends, who have been Insisting all along that he will be the principal contender for the nomination, said that it would not be a difficult matter at all to bring him back to the battle front.
