I PEOPLE S I- ORUM I sumers ©f the Hughes Electric Company had filed a petition with the Silate Railroad Commissison asking -that $42,000.00 be rebated by "that company on the grounds collect- exce&sive ra,tes to the amounit of at least $42,000.00, or a return of 30 per cent on ithe valuation of the company's property. Whereas, •Che Oommiasison had fixed a re turn of 8 per cent and 4 per cent depreciation" to the stockholders on the valuation of the plant. In other words, that the company was entitled to a 12 per cent return, whereas, it had, collected revenue which had yielded a 30 per cemt retu'rn. Mr. Hellstrom, attorney for the petitioners appeared before the Bismarck City Commission and submitted the situation to that body and -asked that an auditor be employed to verify the figures pre sented by the petitioners by an of the matter I to the City Commission caused a peculiar situation to arise. City Attorney O'Hare immediately raised the point that if the City should take a hand in securing equity and justice for it'll consumers of the Hughes Electric Company, the company would take the matter into Federal Court and force 'a higher valuation of the company's plant. This seems a peculiar de fense for the City Attorney to make where the citizens and taxpayers chosen for his introduction as a are endeavoring to secure what star, the part of Gallardo fitting they-are entitled to. Mr. HeHstrom! Perfectly the exotic, colorful Val answered the City Attorney effec-1 entino personality. Most proml tively. The City attorney then I We also note tih^t the City Attor ney ^did not nwse the question as to where the Bismarck Water Sup ply. Company would take its case in the proceedings which were tak en by the consumers and the City in the case to determine water rates. He 'appeared to press that case violently without any fear of the matter being appealed to the Federal Courts as was 3bne and an increase of 35 per cent allowed the company on hearing before that tiourt. Car. it be that the City At torney is more interested in the welfare of the Hughes Electric Cortipany than he is in the con sumers and taxpayers of the city? This brings to my nvind the man ner in which the Electric rate case was handled before the State Rail road Commission: Mr. Edward Cox, of the firm of O'HUre and Cox represented the Hughes Electric Company as its attorney while Mr, H. F. O'Hare, City Attorney, and of the firm of O'Hare and Cox, rep resented the City. n^nt 'raised other defenses in the in-'^jJ'a ^ee, Nita Naldi and Walter terests of the utility, all of which Lon^- Valentino's, portrayal of the were answered by the petitioner's, Spanish boy rising to become the attorney.

If the panties, themselves cannot see this principle and apply it, ithen tlie voters and taxpayers should see that the one who is filling the public position be relieved there from. The interests of this .firm5of attorneys are such that 'the con sumers of the Hughes Electric Company canniot get a square deaji, if the matter is left entirely in the hands of the City attorney, and the makeshift defense made before"the City Commission proves this. The City Commission should look the matter square in the face and treat all public utilities alike irrespec tive of the views of the City'Attor ney. and employ an auditor at once, who will give the Hughes Company a square deal, but not a coat of whitewash, and who will honestly analyze the operating revenue and expenses of the company. —A Reader. AT THE MOViSsI "ULOOD AIM) SAND" AT THE ELTINCrE Rodolph Valentino as a dashing', picturesque toreador dominates "Blood and Sand," by Vicente Blasco Ibanez which opened ait the Eltingc theater last evening. This -3 his first Paramount starting picture and it was certainly well in the supporting cast are to who is supposed /to be appointed and paid for the puropse of pro tecting the public's interest and not the interest of public utilities'. reador, without .exaggeration is as great a piece,of acting as any ever s'hown on the screen. Lila Lee as the Spanish maiden who loved the toreador and Nita Nadli as the siren who caused his down fall also appear very creditably. Wlalter Dong as bandit chief gives a performance second only to the star. The most spectacular sport known to man—bullfighting Purniahes a thrill seldom seem in pictures.

Marvellous Masssive Spectacle Lightning Action. lated faithfully to the screen and all the rollicking humo^ of the book is heightened by the visual appeal. Mark Twain was not a humorist alone in. each, of his books, even the funniest, ho pleaded a cause'. In "A Conrtccticut Yankee" he argues for the modern way of doing things, and proves that we are lucky to be living today ai)d not in the dayiu of old when knights were bold. Martin Cavendish, the Yankee, young, shrewd, up-to-date, finds him self suddenly back in the Middfe Ages, among Kine Arthur's Knights of the Round Table. His adventures there are made to play a "part in Martin's own modern Ipve romance. There is hardly a moment without a laugh. Thanks to Emmett J. Flynn, the director? the settings are superb —notably the scene of the tourna ment, wherein Martin, dressed as cowboy and armed with revolver and lariat, routs all of King Arthur's knights.
