INDIA'S FUTURE IS AT STAKE IN CONFERENCES Momentous Battle of Wills Waged Between Gandhi and Viceroy. Bu L nitcd Press LONDON, Feb. 24.—A momentous battle of wills In which the Mahatma M. K. Gandhi has pitted himself against the government of Great Britain entered Its critical stage today with the future of the great subcontinent of India at stake. Whether the 320,000,000 Indians shall go forward peacefully toward the set goal of federal government, or shall renew rebellion and bloodshed for complete independence from British rule, will be decided. Conversations are being held between the slight, bent man who is called “The Great Soul” and the tall, stately representative of King George Viceroy Lord Irwin. Already stirred to tense feelings by fresh disorders and fighting in Bombay after almost a year of riots, battles and wholesale arrests growing out of the civil disobedience movement, the natives awaited a decision. Lord Irwin has consulted the home government by telegraph as to future action. The Mahatma has summoned his lieutenants from all over India to New' Delhi for consultation. Probably today the two men will resume their conferences, Lord Irwin attempting to persuade Gandhi to relinquish the civil disobedience movement and the boycotts of foreign goods and liquor—the most powerful weapons of the Nationalists. Churchill Assails Gandhi l>y United Press LONDON, Feb. 24—Mixed feelings were aroused today by publication of a speech delivered by Winstone Churchill, conservative independent, assailing the elderly Mahatma Gandhi, Indian leader. Churchill, attacking the Labor government’s Indian policy, in a speech Monday at Winchester House, said: “I would not serve in any administration about whose Indian policy I w r as not reassured. Gandhi is a seditious fakir striding half-naked up the steps of the vice-regal palace to confer with King George’s viceroy. “Henceforth, I shall endeavor to marshal British opinion against a course of action which I believe will bring the greatest evils upon India, Great Britain and the structure of the British empire Itself.” VISIT CHILE PRESIDENT Wales and Brother Are Guests at Palace Near Valparaiso. By United Press VALPARAISO. Chile, Feb. 24. The prince of Wales and his youngest brother, Prince George, on a good will tour of South America, were guests at the presidential residence at Vina Del Mar, outside Valparaiso, today, on a brief visit to this part of Chile.

Try This Simple Method For Blackheads If you are troubled with these unsightly blemishes, get two ounces of Calonite powder from any drug store.

DAILY SCHEDULE OF TELEVISION IS BROADCAST Talking Pictures, Living Artists Put on Air by De Forest. PASSIC, N. J., Feb. 24.—Tele' vision broadcasts of pictures with sound accompaniment on a schedule calling for daily programs are under way today, the De Forest Radio Company announced here today. The daily schedule began just as daily radio programs were started about ten years ago. The De Forest Company announced its survey showed 10,000 sets or instruments equipped to receive broadcasts such as it is offering; and it said that technical advances in the broadcasting art had helped make the programs both feasible and possible. The broadcasts are three times daily, with the best received for a ninety-minute period starting at 8 p. m. (Indianapolis time). Thirty minutes of this last period is for direct pickup programs, while the other sixty minutes on for “talkies.” The pictures are broadcast over W2XD on 2,050 kilocycles and the sound accompaniment goes on the air over Station W2XCR on 1,600 kilocycles. Tonight’s program includes a mandolin concert and the De Forest Little Symphony orchestra. Wednesday the features are a boxing match and piano concert. A television lesson and tenor solos are on the air Thursday. For the benefit of the unitiated, it may be explained that any part of the sound program may be picked up by any short wave set tuned to 1,600 kilocycles, which opens that, part of the program, at least, to all short wave fans.

Dolores Voted to Have Best . Picture Figure By Times Special NEW YORK, Feb. 24.—Female curves have been vindicated. A lady with them has been selected as the possessor of the most beautiful figure in Hollywood. The selection, was made by a jury composed of Earl Carroll, producer

of pulahicrudinous shows; Earl Christy, eminent artist; Hattie Carnegie, New York costumer for the beauties of society and of the theater, and Dr. A. L. Goldwater, New York physician. They looked over Hollywood beauty claimants to decide the question for Photoplay magazine.

Del Rio

The three men all voted for curves, but Miss Carnegie inclined to the straight up-and-down type of the fashion illustration. Their final choice was Dolores Del Rio. who is 5 feet inches tall, weighs 120 pounds, and is distributed thus: Bust, 33 inches; waist, 25; hips, 36She wears size gloves and shoes. The runner-up in the contest was Bebe Daniels, who also has a bit of flesh on her bones, with third place going to Marion Davies, a lady of the same type. The thins were represented in fourth place by Constance Bennett. A New York newspaper uses nearly 2,000 acres of forest in the form of wood pulp every year.

Public Utilities and Railroads are Indiana’s Largest Taxpayers PuBLIC utilities and railroads are the largest tax payers in Indiana. Real estate and personal property taxes paid to governmental agencies in the state of Indiana by Midland United subsidiaries amounted to $3,353,113 during 1930. These taxes were used for the support of state, county and city governments and the public school system. This large tax bill does not include such additional charges as license fees on more than 1,000 motor vehicles used by subsidiaries, gasoline tax, special assessments for public improvements, fees on security issues and other forms of supplemental taxation. There has been a rapid increase in the taxation of public utility companies throughout Indiana in the last few years. In 1923 one of the subsidiaries of the Midland United group paid 6.69 cents in taxes out of every dollar of revenue it received from its customers. Last year this same company paid 10.34 cents in taxes out of every dollar it received, an increase of 55 per centAnother subsidiary paid out 5.13 per cent of its revenue in taxes in 1923. Last year it paid 7.32 per cenL Public utilities are public institutions in more than name. The steady and substantial increase in taxes is of vital concern not only to the utility management and stockholders, many of whom are residents of Indiana, but to the customers of the utilities as well. A utility company has but one source of revenue. That is the money it receives from its customers for the electric, gas and transportation services they use. Taxes must be paid from this money; taxes are a part of the cost of service. Customers, therefore, are paying taxes indirectly through the bills they pay for public utility services. They are being assessed indirectly for taxes which go to benefit all of the people in the state, including those who use no public utility services. Meantime, of course, the people who use public utility services also are being taxed directly by levies upon their own property. Money raised by taxes is, of course, required by the various branches of governments to carry on necessary work. No one can object to taxation fundamentally for it is vital to public progress. The increasing tax burden upon the utilities in Indiana, however, is reaching proportions where it is injurious to rate-paying customers. Utilities are striving constantly to reduce their cost3 and thereby pave the way to further rate reduction. However, no amount of expert management or engineering skill can effect a saving on that portion of the customer’s hill that covers the steadily increasing burden of taxes. 0 * This is the eighth of a series of advertisements discussing i the economics of the public utility business and reviewing j hou> the public is benefited by holding company control.
