The crop of snake stories has started to :ome in. * *7 f ' IF two Federal courts are established in Indiana each may have more irne to give to utility cases. BARRING BONDSMEN in the city court sterns to be a regular thing, o be done at almost stated intervals. f—--1 THAT THIREAT to build hard surface roads without cement is not impossible of achievement. The ancient Romans did it. WITH NINE POWERS pledged to maintain the open door is China hat country appears to be approaching some real exploitation. > „ > THE DIFFERENCE between a bond in Federal Court and in State ;ourts appears to be that the terms of the bond in Federal Court must ip met. \ v ANYHOW, most public officials are ready now to admit that the ■erouting of street cars ana the solving of traffic problems are not to be without some thought. WILL HAYS is expected to cut motion picture expenses $50,000,000 md to improve the morals of those who produce the pictures. Looks as though he will earn what he has left after paying income tax. Federal Court and Utilities * The decision of the Federal Court, establishing higher telephone rates !br Ft. Wayne than were allowed by the public service commission, ought ,o bring the people of Indiana to a realization that utilities have certain •ights which may be enforced and must be respected. For a long period we have been listening to the corporation baiting f demagogues, who hoped to rise In popularity by voicing resentment gainst rates carefully established for our utilities. Much of this listing was prompted by unfounded prejudices and some by honest convicions erroneously reached. Reason was often overcome by prejudice and :onclusions based on that very dangerous thing—a little bit of .knowldge. The Federal Court, whose judgments are always capable of being snforced,- has ruled that a public utility is entitled to a revenue sqflicient to opterate and pay a reasonable return on the capital invested, t has fixed the rate schedude of one utility at a level that will provide uch a return and has compelled the company to give bond that it will etain no more than a reasonable return. If this decision is applied to all the utilities of Indianapolis, the citiiens of this city will soon be paying considerably more for their service han the sum they are now objecting to paying. For example, the revenue of the street car company will have to be acreased materially, or its operating expenses reduced to a point where nore of its revenue can be used to pay reasonable returns on the investaent. The telephone rates established a few days ago by the commission, (fill have to be raised to p. point where the returns to the company are .bout twice what is now allotted to- it. The one impbssible feature of the utility situation in Indianapolis, .8 well as in other cities of the State, is that the public is objecting o paying a sum that will give a reasonable return on utility investments, ,nd at the same time is insisting on proper servfce. In other words, the iatrons wish to have their cake and eat it, too, and the Federal Court Las no sympathy with that childish desire. Sooner or later we will all have to acknowledge that we cannot Main from utilities, or any other sources, something for which we do not >ay. Then the question will ba what we are willing to pay for, and the itizen who refuses to pay the tariff will be without the service. I The one question concerning utilities over which we may legally iffer is the value of the property used and useful in serving the public. V’ben that valuation is established it is comparatively easy to fix rate chedules that will provide reasonable returns on the investment in that roperty. ___ The public service commission has practically established the rate f return that is reasonable, and there remains only the establishment C these values as a requisite to rate schedules. •. It is unfortunate that more of our utilities have not been evaluated y the commission. Doubtless that will now be done, for if it is not ecessity will compel the utilities to seek such a valuation from the ’ederal Court, where the public will find there is less attention paid to he poitical effect of decisions than in the State courts. We have reached the point in Indiana where the public service concussion must function in exact accord with the law or cease exercising ny restraint over the rates of public utilities. If the commission, legally and fairly, establishes rates that will yield easonable returns on the value of the property actually used or useful in he service of the pblic there will remain nothing for the public to do lit pay sutfe rates or do without utility service. If the commission fails to establish rates that will produce a reacraable return on the actual value of the property, used and useful In erving the public, then the Federal Court will do so and again the ►ublic will have the alternative of paying the rates or going without the tility service.

Whe Curb on Utilities Si Contained in the recent telephone order of the public service comMiission is a lesson to public utilities which they will do well to heed, Hven in their exuberance over the Federal Court decision that estabs>es a way for them to obtain reasonable returns on their valuations. H The commission informed itself of a tentative value of the telephone Broperty, used and useful in serving the people of Indianapolis, and then 5$ ted a rate schedule calculated to bring a return on this valuation of 3?ily 2% per cent. In explanation thereof, the commission said: Conceding and affirming that petitioner is entitled to at least vj a 7 per cent return, the commission will not authorize the proS posed rates and thereby theoretically 'frive petitioner, immediately, a 7 per cent return, for several reasons, among which ar6 the following: ) (1) On May 28, 1920. petitioner petitioned for rates higher < than those now requested. There was a hearing and it developed l that petitioner’s service had degenerated. Its relations with the ; public were bad. The service was such that adequate rates were i, not justified. The case was dismissed. Business and labor were f prospering. Then was the proper time for a revision of the rates. Petitioner is now' suffering the consequences of its own unwise policies and mismanagement, which are now fortunately long since changed. (2) The commission is of the opinion that the traffio will not bear the increase proposed, and that authorization of the proposed rates inevitably will result in so large a number of sub- ; scribers discontinuing their service, through inability to pay, that the proposed rates wiH not yield the revenue theoretically com- ; puted. From which one,, must conclude that although it has been established lat a utility is entitled to a return of approximately 7 per cent on its 3tual invesment, it cannot expect to obtain that returft without mainlining its service in a satisfactory manner and otherwise conducting s business with proper prudence. And, it is further apparent that a utility cannot hope to obtain a 7 ;r cent return when rates which would produce such a return reach ich a high level that there is no longer a public demand for the service sered sufficient to induce the public to accept and pay for it. ■ Herein lies the equal protection of the law that forms the basis 1 justification of utility regulation.. The utility--is entitled to a reasonlie profit and the public is entitled to a properly managed service. The' :e cannot exist without the other, and the utility that fails to ffchieve *dper service fails to achieve proper returns. ; Asa last measure of protection against injustice there exists that yiding line past which no utility rates may be forced. For when rates Bcome prohibitive then the corporation ceases to be a utility and profits ■ any size are impossible of attainment. | '

SATURDAY NIGHT BATHERS SEE NO NEED FOR REFORM Love and Kisses Will Not Support a Home — ‘Conflict’ Is Thrilling

“Saturday Night." What a name for a title of a movie! Such a title might indicate that the bathroom farce has reached the American screen. Far from it, because Mr. Cecil B. De Mllle has turned oot under the Paramount banner a dramatic comedy in which he proves that Saturday night bathers cannot mix socially with those who enjoy a hot bath daily. Common? ■ Not the way Mr. De Mrtfe handles the problem in “Saturday Night.” when it comes to dressing up a movie in the r—* . most extrava--ogant way, Mr. ye Alille has no equal. He is the leader in the hothouse class of meaning that chewing gum Edith Robert*. girls should not attempt to marry out their class and also that a rich society girl should not marry her chauffeur if she wants to be happy. Oil and water will not mix and | Mr. De Mille nearly convinces you that it is Hate. First permit me to introduce you to the central effaraeters in “Saturday Night.” Here they are: Iris Van Suydam, a society girl Leatrice Joy Richard Wyn brook Prentiss, her fiance Conrad Nagel Shamrock O'Day. a laundress j Edith Roberts Tom McUnire, a chauffeur.. . Jack Mower j Elsie Premiss, Richard's sister..' Julia Faye | Mrs. Prentiss Edvtbe Chapman Theodore Van Suydam. .Theodore Roberts Mrs. O'Day, a washerwoman Sylvia Ashton Iris Van Suydam and Richard Wynbrook. Prentiss are society leaders, who you might term “bluebloods of society." Their bathrooms recognize no Saturday : night. Society has decreed that they 1 should marry. Shamrock O'Day is a pretty little chewing gum laundress and Tom McGuire is a chauffeur for Iris Van Suydam. Shamrock and Tom are Saturday night bathers. (Please do not think I atn common because i am stating the theme of "Saturday Night.”) Iris is thrilled by the sight of Tom, the chauffeur, and Richard Prentiss is j swept off of his feet when he chances to sea> Shamrock bringing the laundry to his home. Iris defies society and marries Tom, the chauffeur. Richard does the same thing and marries Shamrock. Then Pate ; attempts to mix water and oil. j Why should Tom take a bath on Tues- | day ni&ht? Why should Shamrock enjoy the luxury of a perfumed bath every night?, < and water won't mix That you ' A'iil agree after seeing “Saturday Night.” i Iris discovers that her chauffeur husband j __ is go different at home than when driving an automobile. Richard discovers that his ® little Shamrock prefers Coney laI \, mSM land to the eit", 3HpH elusive ballroom, g Oil and water ' P'J * 'A} ' SVOn t mil - They \ b‘*t won’t. m And now for ■ L the cast. I never have ., appear to better isM.'F -■ - - cut,t rally nice. He Conrad Nagel. convinces you that a “blue-blooded” can really love a little laundress, but Nngcl can not mix water and oil. E<lgh Roberts is a pretty little trick and she snakes Shamrock a sort of a Saturday night Irene. Julia' Faye makes a competent Elsie Prentiss, the society, sister of Richard. She is haughty without being theatrical. There are many others in “Saturday Night” who will Interest yojj. as types. I have a hunch that the majorit’)? of movie fans will find much to enjoy in “Saturday Night” At Loew’s State all week.—W. D. H. -I- -i- -!- WHAT WILL HOLD A HI'SItAND? 'SARDINES IN THE CAN WON’T. A domestic problem is being presenting at the Alhambra this week. The question is an old one. It is— I What will hold a husband? | Now t ask you, I ask >ou —What will hold a husbatui at home? “Her Own Money” proves that a can of sardines served- at dinner time to hubby will not do the trick. “Her Own Money” indicates that even good cooking of a dutiful wife will not., turn the trick. My idea of the theory back of Ethel Clayton's new movie is that “money" is the thing that will hold hubby at home. The idea of course is not seriously ad vanced but handled in a comedy manner. In this movie, Ethel Clayton is married to a chap who is in the real estate busiress. He has to get money tic put | through a deal. Ethel being a dutiful wife had saved more than $2,000 from ! money that her husband had given her for household expenses in five years’ : time. i As Ethel had loaned fyiend husband j SSOO which he had never paid back, she | persuades a neighbor in an adjoining j flat to “loan” husband the money. That is accomplished by Ethel giving the j “loans" to Ethel’s husband. Os course when hubby fails, he dis- j covers that it was his wife’s money which ! the neighbor had loaned to him. llus- i

DOUBLE MOVIE BILE i at THE ISIS THIS WEEK. : The Isis is offering a double movie bill i thl s week, consisting of J. P.

This week, a Chaplin re-issue is being presented at the Isis. f It is to be observed that Chaplin 1 ’wears" very well. Chaplin is our su : prenie screen comedian, Sarah Bero- ; hard-t admits it. There is something to Chaplin’s movies that no other movies possess. “Police” is no exception to the rule and movie patrons appear to welcome the j opportunity to again see the ctynedian 1 jin movies of other days. There are some who enjoy the “slap stick” stage of the career of Chaplin. His fitter movies are ! bill It on boarder comedy lines. In other words the pie throwing days are over and Chaplin his gone in for character comedy work as proven In “Shoulder Aj-ms’-'and “The Kid.” It is a pleasant feeling to see C’hapj Un on a screen, whether in anew vehicle lor an old one. | in "The Ruse of the Rattler,” J.

Miss Labo is the housekeeper es John Renin lie, also a wierd character. Ho is a lumber king. A folly committed in his younger days gave Miss Lnlio the controlling hand over him. Her evil influence had made an animal out of him. So when his niece and heir, Dorcas "ReniaUe. comes into his castle in the great w ‘thuL of the northwest, Miss Labo plans the death of Dorcas. And how does this “pleasant” Miss Labo plan the death of Dorcas? Miss Lnbo grins a “smile.” gathers up j her pet black cat in her arms and with ; a basket calmly goes out in the woods | to select a “nice” lot of toadstools which she plans to serve to Dorcas under the I

guise of mushrooms. Dorcas is tipped off to the plot, the result being that Miss Labo's pet cat eats the toadstools, resulting In the cat's death. Then Miss Labo beeorftes bolder and picks up a butcher knife. As the pleasant party approaches the room of her victim, Dorcas Jumps from a and seeks refuge in a rival lumber camp. Personally I enjoyed the character work of Martha Mattox the best, but-the big appeal of the picture will be the splendid log scenes on the river in the logging country.

SOUND POLICY PREVENTS MORE RELEASES NOW General Grant of Amnesty to to I. W. W.s Not on Harding Program. NO DISTINCTION MADE A l Special to Indiana Dally Tiipes I and Philadelphia 'Public Ledger. WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.—Locked up in Federal prisons are 115 men convicted under the espionage act and other wartime laws. Os these men ninety-eight are memlers of the I. W. They comprise the full list of' all the so-called “poHtiegl prisoners” now in penitentiaries. The list at one time Included 145 nftmes. men now Imprisoned have not been granted clemency because President Har- | dings and Attorney General Daugherty j have not been convinced that it is sound ! public policy to let them go free. It Is! | most unlikely that Any of them will be released for some months. The Administration has no present intention of J granting 'clemency, whether commutation, parole or parod to any of these men. Mr. Harding has no general amnesty policy such as has been put Into effect In; the other countries that participated In the World War. He has taken up the cascg of all the wartime prisoners and j examined each one on its merits. At the Department of Justice they do not concede the term “political prisoners.” A curious misapprehension seems toexist among some of the champions and defenders of these wartime prisoners that Mr. Harding has a general amnesty policy. A statement prepared by -Mr. Otto Christensen, and to Attorney General Daugherty, showed this betrayal of a lack of understanding of the Administration attitude. NO DISTINCTION IN SIMILAR CASES. “In this brief we propose to demonstrate that no distinction can be made | between the defendants in the I. W. W. | cases and other political prisoners such i as Mr. Debs, for the se>’ond reason that ! they are all confined it' penitentiaries lYor identical offenses. “And again : “True, your conviction is for the ex- - pression of opinions the same as in the : cases of Mr. Debs .and the socialists, but you ore I. AV. W:s and, therefore, you will not be Included in the general policy of the Administration topardon espionage act prisoners.” This is to assume that the Administration has a general amnesty policy for wartime prisoners, and to argue that since IW>s and tewnty-four others were released at Christmas the men now in Jail convicted of the same offenses also should be granted clemency. This assumption is * an Illusion. Before Debs and his associates were released the cases of all the men convicted under the espionage act. Including those now In prison, were considered in the department of Justice and passed ; on to the Attorney 'General, with a recommendation on each case. Mr. Daugherty went over the list, ap--1 proved or disapproved each recommendation ns made and carried the papers to the White House. i’resldetn studied the records alone”and decided to give freedom to ltcbs and the other men re- j leased at Christmas. The others now confined, he decided, should continue to ! ’ sem-e their sentences. This does not j mean that they are barred from further ' and future consideration, but their cases ; ere closed so far ax any present action is concerned. In six or eight months some of them may he reopened and clemency extended, What action is taken in the future depends in degree on the' behliviur of-ftP then who have been re- , [leased. It remains to he seen what effect a term in prison has had on their attlj tude toward government and law. ; two-thirds ask NO CLEMENCY. I About two-thirds of the men now being held have no application for i clemency. Some of I hetn have refused to 'a,low their cases to be submitted to the Resident for examinaUon and review. . r i ho avowed aim of tho Administration 1 h> refusing to release at this time the m?n now being lieW is to show them and oi hers who think an they do that I those who commit sabotage against the Government in times of national ei ergency must pay a real penalty. The records of the men now serving, in Mr. Harding opinion, are such as to make, him regard them as he would any other convicted lawbreaker. He is not disposed to treat them as special eases or : make any exception in their favor be- ; cause they were convicted in time of i war for seeking in one way or another j I to obstruct the country’s war effort. And here, for the time being at any ! [rate, the matter restß until Mr. Harding ! can he convinced or persuaded that ! clemency should he extended. —Copyright, 192”, by Public Ledger Company.

STATE AID FOR MANY COUNTIES Bridges Will Be Built or Repaired. will be built or repaired In Bffffy-four counties of the State during 1922, the State Highway Commission ane nouced today. , State aid work will be done pn bridges In twenty-four counties, Allen, Dearborn, Delaware, Franklin, Grant, Knox, Henry, Jennings, Jefferson Kosciusko, Lake Marlon, I.ipley, Rush, Speng-ecy Sullivan. Switzerland, Vande-burg, Vermillion, J’ari.e and Warren. Counties where Federal aid work will be done are: Clay, Clark, Dubois, Gibson, 'Jackson, Luke, Lawrence, Marshall, Putnam, Orange, St. • Joseph, Scott, Spencer, Hamilton, Tipton, Vanderburg and Vigo. There wilDße fifty-five State aid projects to be at a cost of approximately $370,000, Lawrence, Lyons, State highway commissioner said. All these projects will be contsructed at moderate cost, he said in order to have moderately good highways .in all parts of the State and not have luxurious boulevards in spot* at an excessive price. This- policy was handed down by Gov ernor Warren T. McCray.

The largest bridge in the State Aid program will be a viaduct over tbe Big Four railroad tracks west of Covington on the Lebanon-Crawfordsville-Danville State reed. Tt will be six spans in length, 500 feet, long. • A bridge 1,900 feet long to be built over White River at Hazelton, connecting Knox and Gibson Counties will be the largest in the Federal aid projects. It will open -a section for years dependent upon a ferry for an outlet. As many of the bridges need floors, girders, piers and the like to be replaced much of the program will be maintenance, Lyons said. These can be put in condition to give many years of continuous service. The commission will endeavor, he said, to concentrate on extending the work Into every section of Hie State where most riWded to obtain the maximum amount of mileage In the State system.
