JONES SLATED FOR REMOVAL IN RATE CASE Public Service Commission Order Expected to Hit His Franklin Job. Services of Jap Jones, Martinsville hotclman and prominent Democratic politician, in connection with an electric rate reduction petition for the city of Franklin are expected to be severed today by official order of the public service commission. The order will be written by Commissioner Harry K. Cuthbertson, who has charge of the Franklin case. Cuthbertson conducted a probe into Jones’ connection with the case Thursday afternoon. Chairman John W. McCardle and Commissibner Frank Singleton also attended. Jones ignored a subpena and refused to appear. Contract Under Fire A contract Jones made with the city, which Cuthbertson contends is “champertous” was the subject of controversy. Miss Louis Strohmeier, Franklin city clerk, had been summoned to produce it before the commission. She told Cuthbertson that Carlton Shuck, city attorney, had taken it from her flies. Shuck was there and opposed producing it. He said he had it in Indianapolis, but not at the statehouse. Cuthbertson recessed the hearing until it was procured. Promised "Cut” on Savings It revealed that Jones was given a $25 retainer fee from the city and was to get a 25 per cent commission on "the amount saved to all consumers of electricity in the city of Franklin for a period of one year.” This was based on the idea that Jones would furnish engineering, auditing and legal talent and prosecuted the case before the commission successfully. Jones is not a lawyer. George B. Staff, Franklin attorney, appeared for Jones and the Nort-Whiteside Company. He said he didn’t know the commission made audits and appraisals in such cases. , Audit Under Way The rate reduction petition, filed by Jones, was signed by nineteen Franklin citizens who secure power and light from the Insull-owned Public Service Company of Indiana. Cuthbertson said that the commission already is making audits and appraisals of all Insull properties in the so-called “south system,” which includes Franklin. Any ten citizens who use a utility can petition for rate reduction, but outsiders can not come in and inaugurate such litigation on a contingency basis, he declared.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

SAM FARRELL MUST BE PAID, OGDEN RULES Truck Salesman Is Able to Act on State Board, Is Conclusion. * It is O. K. with Attorney-General James M. Ogden for Representative Sam Farrell to function and draw pay as a member of the state budget committe, even if he is a salesman for a concern which sells thousands of dollars worth of trucks to the state. Ogden came to this conclusion after several conferences with Farrell. Both are Republicans. It was made necessary for Ogden to rule on the matter because of a request for the ruling from Floyd E. Williamson, state auditor. Williamson had asked whether it was legal for him to honor pay vouchers of Farrell as a budget committeeman and Homer York as trustee of the Indiana state reformatory since both are sales representatives for the Indiana Truck Company, Marion. The largest part of the state highway department truck fleet has been purchased from this company. At this time the company has a $90,530.46 truck contract pending with the state. Requirements of the budget committee law is that no member of the

committee shall be interested in any state contract or sale “either directly or indirectly.” But Ogden didn’t go into this in his opinion, which was given Williamson today. Although he did go into it more than a year ago in an informal opinion given Farrell, which is said to have pointed out that he is ineligible for-budget committee membership. The opinion to Williamson orders him to pay Farrell his $lO a day for budget work and York his $25 monthly salary as trustee. It points out that a trustee is banned only from making sales to the institution he represents. Budget committee members are supposed to be banned from selling to the state since they are charged with approving budget items which would include the materials they are interested in pushing. Collusion could result easily, the law makers decided when the -statute was passed.
