RULES ON ABSORBING OF TAX, BY UTILITIES Osrlon Holds Compromise May File Reduced Rate Schedule. Public utilities may absorbs the new 3 per cent federal tax on billings by filing a reduced rate schedule with the public service commission. This ruling has been made by Attorney General James M. Ogden upon request from Chairman John \V. McCardle of the commission. McCardle has had several inquiries as to how utilities m ight absorb the tax, rather than pass it on to the consumer. All such inquiries came from municipally owned utilities. It is considered unlikely that any privately owned plant will do might but add 3 per cent to present billings, it was said. Ruling of the attorney-general was written by George W. Hufsmith. deputy in charge of utility cases.

HINT SINGLETON WILL BE ‘FIRED’ FROM NIGH JOB Won’t Be Reappointed to Commission by Leslie, Observers Assert. Predictions were rife at the Statehouse today that Frank T. Singleton will not be reappointed to the public service commission when his second term expires Friday. Although Governor Harry G. Leslie refused to commit himself regarding the position, he indicated he may put off the matter until after the special session of the legislature. which convenes for forty days beginning July 7. This would mpan that Singleton would stay until reappointed or a successor named. Two schools of thought are under consideration by the Governor in making the public service commission appointment. One group argues that since the body should function quasi-judicially, it is better to appoint some politician who understands people. The other group argues that highly technical legal matters are involved in public service commission decisions and therefore a lawyer should be made commissioner. Singleton is not a lawyer and in the iater years of his service as commissioner has written many opinions declared to be in the interest of the public paying utility bills. Many of these failed to pass and he has been labeled, until lately. a “minority commissioner.” He has figured prominently in Republican polities for the state. One of the outstanding politician

FREAKS BECOME VERY MUCH ALIVE A Cowboy Puts On the Most Formal Dress and He Uses Right Manners Even When Twirling Rope. BY WALTER D. HICKMAN WE have had the Siamese Twins in this city when they were just “freaks.” I have talked to the Hilton Sisters when they must have had the idea of the “family” check. There is no question about the physical fact of the.se two girls. Now it becomes a question of showmanship. When I first saw them, they were just exhibits. Today a slight suggestion of showmanship has come to them. Os course, I think the woman who introduces them is all wrong. She has said her talk too often.

The act does change to the point of proving that the girls actually grow in talent. I think the Hilton Sisters have grown to the point that they demand a difference. This act has no right to be a “freak.” Both prove to be human individuals. Am now talking of Tex McLeod. He suggests that he might be a “cow gentleman.” Meaning a cowboy. He comes on in formal attire, even in summer. He talks like a certain well paid gentleman. He talks right. Talking of McLeod —he is the best theater on the Lyric bill.

types seeking the place is Wilbur Warner, South Bend, Third district Republican chairman. He is backed by the St. Joseph county and other powerful G. O. P. groups and, in addition, the industrial interest of that section. Arthur H. Sapp, Huntington attorney, state highway commissioner and a pre-convention candidate for Governor, is under consideration from the legalistic viewpoint, It was learned. He is said to be backed by Jess Murden, Peru, one-time a power in the Leslie administration

ishing point, and restored to the bill the $2,750,000 appropriation approved by the house. It also increased the fund of the federal trade commission to $1,528.500, the figure originally asked by the commission for carrying on its work in the coming year. President Hoover's budget bureau slashed this appropriation more drastically than any other, and Hoover recommended that some of its work be abandoned. T e house accepted his figures, but provided that the investigation of utilities and chain stores should not be abandoned. The senate has made possible continuation of all its functions.
