GAS USERS PLAN SUIT TO ENJOIN NEW RATE HIKE Will Seek to Prevent Company From Carrying Out Order Authorizing Boost.

Suit to enjoin the Citizens Gas Company from carrying out the order of t>e public service commission authorizing it to ehaTge higher rates and to reduce the quality of gas will be filed within a few days, according to Ira Chase Koehne, an attorney, secretary of an organization known as the Gas Users' Protective Association. The suit, according to Mr. Koehne, will be based on the contention that the company is violating the State law which fixes the price and quality of gas and provides a penalty of SI,OOO a day for their violation. The suit also will ask for the refund of alleged excess charges to members of the league. In his statement Mr. Koehne says: “The franchise for the use of our streets by The Citizens Gas Company, as well as Indiana Laws (Burns Statutes 8025 to 8930) fix the price of gas here at not exceeding 60 cents per 1.000 cubic feet, with not less than 600 heat units per cubic foot, and said laws provide a penalty of SI,OOO per day for any violations thereof, with or without a franchise. “The Citizens Gas Company has violated these laws practically every day for over one year by serving" gas of less than lawful quality, but no real attempt has been made by public officers to enforce the law. Surrender of its franchise by gas company will not change the law. nor make a higher rate than 60 cents lawful or reasonable. “The order of May 4th of public service commission of Indiana, giving such -ompany a 50 per cent increase in pri -e and a decrease in heat units from 600 to 570 gives t far greater increase than 50 per cent, and each is unlawful, under the above note laws: and furthermore is injurious to le public, unreasonable and oppressive clause made when sc many men and worn.- n are working at reduced wages, many au.ce out of work, and such increase made in c declining market prolongs the perio 1 of readjustment and delays the return of normal prosperity. “On its owu figures he gas company was making money on Us gas at 60 cents, but because the price of coke was a V*tle low the commission thus penalized gas users. Said commission acted in defiance of the lew fixing the reasonable price of gas anc component heat units. “This association was organized to protect its members; has employed legal counsel: has had its attorney participating in all gas hearings of local import since early last fall: has instructed its attorney to enjoin th° gas cotnpan-.-from carrying o: the order and to compel refunder to members of all payments exacted ii xcess of 60-cent rate.”

PEW SEEK JOBS IN THE PRIMARY Marion, Ind., Not Like Marion, Ohio, Politically.

Special to The Times MARION. Ind.. June 30.—With only three days left in which to file declarations of candidacy for municipal offices in the coming: primary election, heads of the Republican organization were active today in an effort to Induce more men and women to announce themsr'7es for various offices. To date only ♦ roe candidates have refiled their declarations of candidacy for mayor. They are Dr. George R. Daniels, city health officer: John Grant, coal dealer; Marshal Williams, city attorney, and Ed McClure, city councilman. Moe H. Baldwin, insurance man. and Vern Rlvir, coal dealer, who announced their candidacies prior to the special election on the city manager government, have not refiled. Only one man has announced his caruidacy for councilman-at-large. He is Charles A. Johnson, former Representative in the General Assembly. Claude Hamilton, city clerk, baa announced himself as candidate for another term. The Republican organization is concerned deeply over the mayoralty race. All efforts to bring out a compromise candidate have failed, and leaders see a four cornered fight that is I'able to create disruption in the party following the primary election. Efforts were made to induce Willard B. Gemmil, former deputy attorney general under Ele Stansbury, or Robert M. Van Atta, former judge of the Grant-Delaware Superior Court, and leader of the opposition to the city manager government, to make the race, but both have consistently refused to toss their hats into the ring. No contests will be made in the Democratic primary. J. M. Wallace, prominent T>emoorat, is the only candidate for the Democratic nomination, the field being left open to him by the withdrawal of Carl Houston, who was leader of the fight for the city manager government. The primary election will be held August 2.

SIR ROBERT STOUT, Chief Justice of New Zealand. By V.'. D. BOTCE. A few days after my arriva in New Zealand I received the following telegram from Prime .minister Massey: “Have had some difficulty in locating you. Will be glad to meet you after your arrival Wellington. “W. F. MASSEY.” The receipt of this message was a great sunwise to me and he never afterwards told me how he knew we were in the Dominion. He has been prime minister for the last nine years and the leader of his party, the reform party, since 1903. Mr. Massej was born in the north of Ireland sixty-five years ago. His parents emigrated to New Zealand in 1862 and he joined them eight years later, having remained behind to take the advantage of good schools. He has been a successful farmer and politician all his life. Me served as peace commissioner with President Wilson. New Zealand is an agricultural country and his success is r. s’at'sman is due to a thorough knowledge of the necessities of .ill parts of the Dominion. He was prime minister during the whole of the war and is one of the few big men who weie in power before the war and during the war and who have beet* retained in power since the war. The position of prime ministei in New Z.ela id is relatively more Important than :hat of the PresiQ~it of the United Sta:es. as hts powers ar* mar. extensive owing to the system of government. That he is quite a diplomat trill be evident from the following message he gave me to send to “our cousins in the United States:” “Dominion of New Zealand “Prime Minister's Office. • “Wellington, > "2nd February. 1921. “Dear Mr. Boyce: “1 willingly comply with your request to .end a few words of greeting, on be half of the government and people of New Zealand, to our kinsmen in the [ United States: “in our own way New Zealanders are ' building up a British nation in the South I Pacific in touch the same fashion as the j Pilgrim Fathers of New England laid the foundations of the gres* American iiai tion of today.

MAORIS RECOGNIZE BRITAIN IN 1810. In 1840 the Maoris, through treaty, recognized the sovereignty of the British Empire and the flag that had been planted by Captain James Cook in 1771 became their flag and they were taken In as full British scubjects and given equal rights with the citizens then in New Zealand. About fifteen years later New Zealand was formed Into a Dominion with a number of provinces, each province having a separate local government and sending members to a Congress composed .c: an tipper and a lower bouse, the same as we have in the United States. New Zealand never had a written coni stitutlon like the United States, but the unwritten constitution of the British Empire applied. She had a prime minister, the loader of the party in power in New Zealand, and a governor general sent out jby the crown. About fifty years ago the j provinces were abolished, member** of ; the lower house of parliament were elected from districts, tne same as our Congress, but the upper house was, and still is, appointed for life by the prime minister and his cabinet. As the prime minister is the leader of his party and appoints his own cabinet, they create i through appointment what would be our United States Senate. The body is no: limited as to membership although it has been held down to a reasonable num ber through precedent. This body is composed of the big men of New Zealand who are selected without reference tr the party to -which they belong. They have a vote on nearly all legislation tr about the same extent as that of the House of Lords in England. There now are three parties in New Zealand—the Reform, Liberal and Labor parties. As near as I can judge from < the men who are leaders in the Reform ! party, it could more fittingly be called the Conservative party. That term more correctly represents their action;;. Ninety per cent of the people in New Zealand are of the pure British blood and do their own thinking, and if the policies advocated by the government in power do not suit them they are not s'ow to make a change. If yon have read all the articles I hav< written on New Zealand you will understand what a diversified country this is and how nothing hut a good government will last any length of time. In one respect the government of New Zeeland differs from that of the United State. Cities and towns have no local policemen and both municipal and dominion laws are enforced by less than 1,000 dominion policemen who are under civil service and Independent of pull or politics. Each State in the United States should control the police In that State, for it hardly would be practicable for us to have a national police. Only in this vay can our State and municipal laws be enforced. Any country is in a very bad way if the people have lost confidence in the

judiciary. That really is what has happened In the United States except with reference to our Supreme Court. Our system of politically nominating and electing judges frequently ties the hands of the judges and tV-lr decisions often are dictated by Interested parties. I was | In New Zealand for quite a while and universally I heard nothing but praise for their judges, who to a man seemed to be above suspicion. In fact, the only

ufSljp MhHI

complaint I ever heard was that some of them stood so straight that they leaned backwards. I could learn of only one Judge. Justice Stout of the Supreme Court, who paid any attention to decisions of the United States courts which were offered as references. He was referred to as the many who had specially leaned toward the United States In every way. I had a most interesting long visit with him sad away feeling I understood New Zealand's aims and Institutions. Many of his relatives emigrated from Scotland to the United States years ago and he corresponds with them regular]'-. He is 77, hut as active In mind and body as a man of 50 and plans a visit to thi. United States this summer. His full name Is Hon. Sir Robert Stout, K C. M. G.. LL.D., and he has been chief Justice of New Zealand since 1898. Judge Stout was born in Shetland Islands, Scotland, in 1844. and has been in New Zealand since 1564, when he started in ns a schoolmaster at Dunedin, where be was admitted to the bar in 1871, and was elected to Parliament in 1875. He became attorney general three years later aud In 1884, as leader of his party, became prime minister. All bis life Judge Stout has had the schools of New Zealand as his hobby. It is such men as Stout. Massey and Richard Seddnn. who have made New Zealand the wonderfully well i governed, educated and prosperous couui try it Is today. Education at the public schools Is free, compulsory and purely secular. Attendance at a registered school Is required of all children between the ages of 7 and 14, exeept when special exemptions are granted. The Inspectors who visit the schools are officers of the education department On an asset and liability basis—or being worth more than she owes ns a government, not Including the property of the people, New Zealand Is solvent and posibly she Is the only government in the world that Is solvent. The United States Government owes $27,000,000,000 and has nothing to show for It but post

postoffice buildings, which originally cost 70.00,000 pounds and on the present basis of cost would be valued at twice that. 3. The government owns millions of acres of land, some of it worth as much, at S3OO an acre. 4. The state life and fire insurance companies and the public trust office now have millions of pounds of assets to offset prrt of the liability the government may have created in war and ot-ier expenses. 5. The water power, or possible hydraulic development as well as those already in existence, are owned by 'the government and if she wished to operate then on a profit basis they alone would pay the interest on the national debt. However, it has been the policy of the government to furnish all communities with light, power and heat so that the fixed charges above the cost of operation and maintenance are only enough to pay the interest on the investment and provide a fund for the reasonable wear and tear replacement. Hence New Zealand has and will have f r ever the cheapest light and power of any country in the world. The country is hilly, there are lots of lakes and streams and the average rainfall is nearly fifty inches a year. Any one who understands the waterpower business knows these are ideal conditions. The abundant rainfall also explains why it is so profitable to raise cattle and sheep in New Zealand. SIX BANKS OF ISSUE IN THE DOMINION. In our article on the operation of the state monopolies postoffice, railways, telegraphs and telephones, it was shown that the government earned 12% per cent on the turnover in the postoffice, telephone and telegraph department and 4(4 per cent on its investment in railways. A country to be financially responsible must have sound banks and the public must have confidence in their banking system. Every bit of paper money you find in circulation in New Zealand is good. There are six banks of issue m New Zealand, or, In other words, six banks which are allowed to print and circulate paper money the bank is allowed to issue It must have deposited with the dominion government a dollar In coin, bullion or government bonds and onethird at least must be in gold coin. Until the war began you could take paper money to the bank and get gold for lt. After the war started it became evident that many people would try to board gold and get it out of circulation or slip it out of the country contrary to law. so the government declared all paper money legal tender and refused to permit any gold to be put into circulation or to be taken from the country. In this way New Zealand has held on to a greater proportion of gold to

power house that supplies electricity to Dunedin and surrounding country.

th paper money in circulation than any other country in the world. This explains why the dominion is in such fine condition financially. The program of primary instruction provided by law includes English, arithmetic. geography, history and civics, drawing and handwork ilncludtng

needlework), nature study and elementary science, physical instruction, moral Instruction and health and singing. The public primary schools in the Do minion number 2,375, while the registered private primary schools were slightly over 200. There are thirty-for endowed colleges, grammar and high schools and eight technical schools. Industrial schools, both state and private, number twelve and the stte'has schools for the deaf, the blind and for backward children. Higher education is provided for in the four universities which are affiliated as the University of New Zealand. They are located at the four large cities—Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch and Dunedin, and each has a specialty in technical training. At Dunedin Is the only medical course In the Dominion to be obtained. The other universities specialize In engineering or commerce and lav or navigation. LITTLE ATTENTION PAID TO MINING. Not much attention is paid to the mining Industry. More than fifty years ago some rien placer gold mines were found, but they did not last long. Alluvial gold is found on the west coast of the South Island and In Otago, where some dredges are making a reasonable profit, on the operation. There is plenty of water for hydraulic sluicing. The chief mining industry of the Dominion is that of coal and it is estimated that there is coal enough in sight to last New Zealond for the next 100 years. Silver, lead, coppe \ tin, iron and other minerals are found in limited quantities If New Zealand was cut off from the balance of the world and had to make everything for herself she could get along very nicely with th° minerals found in her country. If she should use her hydro-electric power to the fullest extent it will be necessary for her to become an exporting nation. In that case she would have to import considerable raw stock. The government has picked out seventy-two sites where large hydro-electric developments can be made. So far only two large installations have been completed. It was estimated that there is possible development in sight of one horse power for every man, woman and child up to 5,000,000 population. As the world grows short of coal for light, heat and power, New Zealand, through her wonderful water powers, may become one of the leading manufacturing nations of the world. The New Zealand government is nonsectarian. Protestant, Catholic and Jew are fully represented. They have splendid churches and synagogues, and as all businesses of all kinds are suspended on Sunday the churches are well attended. Allowing for reasonable Increase since the last census was taken, New Zealand should have today at least one million three hundred thousand population, :,f which about 4 per cent are Maoris. The total alien population is 8.500, of which 2.000 are Chinese Excepting for the Maoris, the original inhabitants of New Zealand, not ore-half of 1 per cent are either yellow or black people, while we have under the American flag, not Including the original Inhabitant, the American Indian, over thirty million 130,000.000) yeilow and black people, or 25 per cent of our total population. New Zealand is a white country for white people. No others need apply. All that it is necessary to say about the health of the people of New Zealand is to repeat the statement we have made in other articles and elsewhere that they live an average of nlDe years longer than the white people of the United States. The birds, animals, fowls and fish grow larger than in any other country of the world and they all have been brought her# from some other country as there was not an animal in ail New Zealand when the first man landed on her shores. It also Is true of vegetables and grain. The only answer Is climate and soil New Zealand lies from 35 to 46 degrees south of the equator, or about as far south as the country from southern Virginia to northern New York lies north of the equator. Being an island country, the currents of the ocean are responsible for Its equitable climate. Few houses have fireplaces in them and not on# house out of a thousand hag an icebox. The most remarkable thing to an American Is that food will last so long without Ice ONLY SMALL ARMY AND HAS NO NAVY. There Is not much that can be said about their army and navy. The New Zealanders always have been a fighting race and had to conquor the war-liko Maori. Every man in New Zealand must take military training and is specially fit In rifle shooting. That is one reason they gave such a wonderful account of themselves in the lat* M’arld M'ar. Their standing army consists of a few artillerymen and well trained officers. She has no navy. She built the

battleship New Zealand and presented U to the British government. She has seventeen magnificent ports where the deepest draught vessels in the world can come up to the docks. She has protected them by disappearing guns of long range as well as mining her harbors. However, she realizes that in case of war it would be necessary for the British empire to protect her in common with all other British possessions. Although there is a great deal of good hardwood trees growing in New Zealand, there is not much timber of the soft wood variety. There are a number of sawmills, but labor has been and is so scarce she is obligated to import considerable lumber from Canada, the United States and Australia. All classes of building material in New Zealand is very expensive. An ordinary house costs about SI,OOO per room to build. Most of the houses run from four to six rooms. Nearly every house is covered with red iron roofing and when you get up on a hillside and look down on them they all look alike. A redeeming feature is their beautiful gardens. I cannot understand why they do not use more of the Certainteed Products’ roofing material, more than five hundred tons of which is used every day in the United States. The chief exports are sheep, wool, cattle, butter and cheese; also kauri gum and native flax. Their chief imports are machinefy of all kinds, especially agricultural machinery, paper and paper products, tobacco, canned fish, Mies and automobile accessories. Seven-ty-five per cent of all the automobiles and automobile supplies used in the Dominion are from the United States. They complain bitterly of the treatment they have received from the automobile people and from the evidence they have shown me, I believe their story. The people of New Zealand are honest and trustful and can be fooled only once and the automobile manufacturer in the United States is going to have a mighty hard row to hoe in New Zealand hereafter. New Zealand Is as backward In building good roads as any of our Western States, but since the war is over the many good engineers have been released and she has come to (he conclusion that she cannot go any longer without furnishing the people what they require and need. They make some Portland cement and it is claimed only the shortage of labor prevents them from making all they require In the country. They make a very hard brick for building purposes, and no doubt can make a good paving brick for heavy teaming on public roads. The white man. woman or family living in the United States or Canada who is dissatisfied with the climate, where It may be too hot or too cold, or with the competition with the colored and yellow races, can improve h's condition by going to New Zealand, where there is great demand and room for every white person who will work. The work hours are short, the weather is never hot or cold or wet, there are spiondid schools and churches and everybody lives in a detached house. The governmtnt will advance you the money to build your own house. In closing my stqjy on New Zealand I wish to thank the hundreds of people I met in different walks of life, from the prime minister to the laborer. I was a guest at tha home and club of the most kindly people and I wish to spe daily remember Tom Seddon—the Hon. T. E. Y. Seddon, member of parliament and son of a great father, the late prime minister for years, Hon. Richard Seddon. Goodby. New Zealanders! God has been good to you. Keep and preserve your country for Him. He is with you. THE END. From New Zealand, Mr. Boyce will take his readers to the great Island-continent of Australia, which is unlike any other part of the world.
