MINTON GOES ! TO CAPITAL IN UTILITY PROBE Indiana Public Counselor to Testify in House Committee Quiz. Enormous expenditure of public funds, spent futily by the public service commission in rate cases in j lederal courts, will be revealed to a congressional committee today by Sherman Minton, Indiana public counselor. Before leaving for Washington last night with Perry McCart, chair- j man of the public service com- ! mission, Mr. Minton condemned the acts of past public service commissions in their dealings with public utilities. Mr. Minton stated that he would take a firm stand to restrict public utilities from resorting to the federal courts in rate cases, as provided ! by the Johnson bill to be considered | soon by the house of representatives. Cites Water Cos. Case ‘Red tape and great expense to the taxpayers and utility consumers. of the state always have resulted j from federal court action in the; matter of public utilities,” said Mr. j Minton. "The case of the Indian- | a polls Water Company, which cost | the public service commission more than $50,000. and is nowhere near settlement, is a glaring example of; why a public utility should not resort to the federal court.” Mr. Minton pointed out that the recent 8 per cent cut in electric | rates in Indianapolis, amounting to j more than $500,000 a year, had been j accomplished at practically no ex- i pense to the state or rate payers. Costly Cases Reviewed Among the Indiana cases which have been expensive to the public service commission in the past and which will be cited before the congressional committee tomorrow by Mr. Minton are the Vincennes water supply case which cost the commission $3,849 at one time and $1,165 on another occasion. The Indiana Bell telephone case which never got to the federal court, but w-hich cost the commission $122,337; the Southern Indiana Telephone and Telegraph case, costing $4,418; the Wabash Valley Electric Company case, costing $1,005, and the Indianapolis Water Company case, which cost $20,588 at one time and $20,897 for another hearing. The western states now have a custom of dedicating new mines with ceremonies similar to those at which ships are christened. COUGHS Don't let them get a strangle held. Fight germs quickly.

Above, the tipple of anew shaft into the Homestake mine near Lead, S. D., will complete a $2,000, 000 investment on this project alone.

Every Lucky Strike is made from the finest tobacco and only the center leaves. Not the top leaves — because those are under-developed not ripe. They would give a harsh smoke. Not the bottom leaves—because those are inferior in quality. They grow close to the ground, and are tough, coarse and always sandy. The center leaves are the mildest leaves, for which farmers are paid higher prices. Only these center leaves are used in making Luckies the fully packed cigarette —so round, so firm —free from loose ends. That’s why Luckies draw easily, burn evenly. And remember —“It’s toasted” —for throat protection for finer taste. Direct from the Metropolitan Opera House Saturday at 1:50 P. M., Eastern Standard Time, over Red and Blue Networks of NBC, Lucky Strike will broadcast the Metropolitan Opera Company of New York in the complete opera, “Lucia di Lammermoor.”
