(LONG DISTANCE TOLL IN STATE IS CONTINUED State Public Service Body Orders Increases and Some Decreases. PROTESTS ARE EXPECTED Long distance and toll rates estab lished by the United Stafes government while exercising wartime control of tele phone lines were ordered continued by the Indiana public service commission, in findings made public today. Exchange rates established by the postmaster general in six cities and towns by the Central Union Company, in twenty-four exchanges of the Southern Indiana Telephone Company and in eight Indiana exchanges of the Chicago Tele phone Company were ordered continued by the commission. In eight Central Union exchanges decreases were ordered and In twenty-one increases were granted. Increases were also granted in five south ern Indiana exchanges. Value of .the Central Union's property for rate making purposes was determined to be $15,700,000; Southern Indiana com pany. $2,092,810, and Chicago Telephone Company, $2,114,000. The petition of the Central Union Company had asked increases of from 25 to 50 per cent in all the Indiana cities and towns served. TWO CITIES GRANTED INCREASES. The commission decided that inferior se-vice due to obsolete equipment in Ctv.TTfordsville and Frankfort justified decreases in rates of those exchanges. In Alexandria, Bunker Hill, Elwood. Fairland, Granger and Smith Valley the Central Union was ordered to continue the federal rates.. Increases were allowed for the following exc hanges: Auburn. Ledford. Greenwood. Indianapolis. Ken dallville. Lewisville. Manilla, Munoie. New Carlisle, Osceola. Peru, Lome City. South Bend. Mishawaka, Washington and Yorktown. Increases of 25 cents a month wore denied the southern Indiana Telephone Company on individual and four-party residence sen-ice. That was the chief plea of the southern Indiana company for exchanges operated in thirteen coun ties. The company was allowed in creases at (fc?ntryville, Lynnville, Ma rengo and Oliver. Continuation of the federal rates were granted in the following .ities served by the Southern Indiana Company: Boon ville, Charlestown, Chrlsney, Corydon, Evansville, Grandview, Hatfield, Jeffer sonville, Lamar. Mt. Vernon. Newburgh, New Harmony, Newtonvilie, Richland. Rock-port, Savah, Troy, Utica, Tennyson, Cannelton, English, Ilenryville, Salem and Tell City. EIGHT (ITIES IN CHICAGO AREA. The Chicago Telephone Company was granted continuation of the wartime rate in the eight cities named in its petition. The cities are: Gary, Hammond, East Chicago. Whiting, Lowell. Dyer, High land and St. John, all in Lake county. Financiers who have followed the tele phone situation in' Indiana are appre hensive that one phase of the commis sion's order may give rise to protests. Several smaller cities are given rates higher than those ordered in neighboring cities which arc much larger. The basis I'or computing telephone rates has nearly always been the num ber of subscribers in the exchange, or in other words, the number of persons who might be reached without toil charge. The commission based its find ings on the rate of profit accruing to the company through the exchange, that is the rate of return on the investment. In some cases where the company spent an unusual sum for new equip ment for an exchange in 191S or 191!) higher rate was granted in order to maintain a fair proportion of return on the investment. Then again in a larger rtty. where no unusual sums were ex pended in thp last two years on new equipment, the rate was fixed at a lower figure. Valuation of exchanges on which rates were determined for the Central Union oere as follows: Indianapolis $6,408,667 Indiana toll system 3,551.316 Alexandria 47,231 Bedford 157.688 T'.looinington 218,829 Eogestown 11.055 I’rooklyn 15.385 Hunker Hill '20,423 " ilrcr 40.086 V.i rood • 176,457 I'.-iiriand 7.434 French Lick 20,496 C;is City 54.416 < i teen wood 45,318 Washington 298,652 Vorktown 20.215 Anderson 438,196 Auburn 114,797 < rawfordsville 319,196 Frankfort 197.708 Kcndallville 120,772 Mishawaka 291,983 Muncie 654.234 1 ern 315.997 Shelbyvllle 163.437 South Bend 1.506,429 Vincennes 2.85.094 Newcastle 168,430 •Granger 5,491 •Lewisville 16.369 •Manilla 6.423 1 •New Carlisle 54,810 •Osceola 15.540 •Rome City 4,351 •Cumberland 12.018 •Smith Valley \ 7.459 Total $15,773,412 •Estimated, no appraisals by company' or commission. CHANGES LIKELY TO BE MADE SOON. Tn announcing the order tbe commis sion said tbe new rates are not offered as permanent. Changes are likely to be made within a few months. In giv ing out the Indianapolis exchange or der yesterday the commission said the rates contained in it would be in effect only until the merger of the Indian apolis Telephone Company and Ihe Cen tral Fnion is accomplished. The com mission said the merger was necessary and should be brought about at the earliest time possible. Rates of the Indianapolis Telephone Company were never increased to the limit allowed by either the federal gov ernment in wartime or the public serv i e commission since that time because of competitive conditions in thiß field. Tbe telephone companies still hold, the order says, that they have a legal right to rates determined on a valuation of their properties nased on present costs I of reproduction, which are 50 to 100 per cent higher than pre-war costs. The commission decided that valuations based on that consideration, to the exclusion of other considerations, would not he equitable. Overtime calls shall be computed on n "station to station” rate basis even if the call is placed in the "peraon to per son” c): commission held. AH felephotn- a. mios in the state were ordered t i immediately to provide uniformity h the interpretation of the federal toll rates, all of which are con tinued. They were also instructed to educate the public by advertising and other means so that advantage may be laken of certain low rates, such as slack hour rates and "station to station” toll calls. A redaction in the rate Tor establish ment of telephone service where a tele phone is already in place was ordered. The old charge was *1.50. The new one' j_so_cent.

STATEMENT TO PUBLIC Lew Shank, leader of the home rule party, who recently brought together more than 500 voters at a meeting to consider how best to fight the Charles W. Jewett organization of the republican party In Marion county, has Issued a statement concerning the “anti-Jewett ’ organization as having the same purpose as the home rule party and has per sonally promised it his help in the “elimination of Goodrichism and Jew ett bossism" from the republican party. He also asks his friends to work In harmony with the "antis" for that pur pose, The statement follows: "The thing the people of Indianapolis have tef do to get control of their own government again is to defeat the Char lie Jewett crowd that now controls the city and is trying to control the county and the state. SAME OBJECTS AS ORGANIZATION'S. "The men who have formed the ’anti- Jewett' organization have that purpose in mind. Their object is the same as ours and It would be foolish for us not to work together to that end. For that purpose and that reason I have per sonally promised my help lu tbetr effort to get rid of the Jewett gang and I hope all my friends will see their way clear to give the 'anti-Jewett' organization all the help possible. This does not mean that we who constituted the home rule party have to abandon our party or our principles. We can and will work in harmony for the elmlnntton of Good richlsin and Jewett bossism. That's what we want and will get by forget ting any personal Jealousies in tne pro motion of our common cause." It Is understood the Shank statement was prompted by a letter sent out to members of the home rule party over the name of M. D. Moss, In which the home rulers were asked to give considera tion to the question of whether or not a case that was actually cured by such treatment, and temporary relief ts very far from comforting to a constant suf ferer.

Ido not hesi tate to say it will do all It is recom mended to do and more. I am strong and healthy, hut we all need a little active medicine once in a while, and Black-Draught Is good enough for me. It does the work well and cleans the Uver. carrying away bile, the easiest of any purga tive I have ever seen. Once, some, years ago, I had slow fever and my stomach was In a bad fix, and Black Draught gave me relief and helped me a wonderful sight. It cured me of Indigestion, and the bad feeling after eating. I keep It for my family, they use it and have for years, and too, it saves doctor bills and is not expensive. A stitch In time saves nine, and most sickness is caused by a bad liver. A few doses of Black-Draught fixes that, and I don’t see why peo ple don't use it, and they would see as I have, what a help it would be.” j Ask your druggists for Thedford’s Black-Draught.—Advertisement.
