that the same will be financed through
the sale of securities, and that the net
earnings of petitioner will hare a con
trolling effect upon the salability of said
securities and the amount of discount
■which will be necessary to pay to move
the same."
"Petitioner further says,” the applica
tion continues, ‘‘that the earnings of pe
titioner under the rates, toils and charges
now in effect are much less than the
amount required to pay a reasonable re
turn upon the fair value of petitioner’s
property used and useful in said enter
prise; that a continuation of said limited
earnings will make it impossible for pe
tioner to finance needed improvements,
betterments and extensions, both as to
its capacity for service and as to street
main extensions, and If long continued
will result in a crippled and inefficient
service; that it Is for the best interests
of the city of Indianapolis, petitioner and
petitioner’s patrons that the water rates
in the city of Indianapolis be Increased
In an amount sufficient to pay a rea
sonable return upon the fair value ol
petitioner's property used and useful In

the schedule of rates, tolls and charges
attached hereto, market Exhibit A and
a part hereof, will in the Judgment
or petitioner, produce the required reve
nues without working a hardship upon
any of petitioner’s patrons."
In conclusion tthe company asks the
commission for a hearing on the request
and after a due investigation to “direct
the petitioner to put into effect tjie
schedule of rates, tolls and charges”
asked.
Corporation Counsel Samuel Ashby
stated that the city will oppose any In
crease In water rates unless the com
pany shows conclusively they are neces
sary for continued good service.

death of Senator S hive ley, which made a
place for Watson, alone prevented con
siderable of a party rumpus.
Subsequently Mr. Robinson spent more
than two years In the army.
His friends now point ont that both
Kew and Watson were taken care of by
the party and it would hardly be proper
to penalise Robinson Just because he
werlt to the army In the World s War.
In politics, Mr. Robinson has been
fortunately aligned. He was one of the
original McCray boosters and he was
•Imost alone In boosting Warren G.
Harding when that distinguished gentle
man ran last in a field of four In the
presidential primary.
It is understood that friends of the
young lawyer are prepared to make a
fight in his behalf in event there is any
vacancy in, the Indiana senatorships, and
Mr. McCray is not likely to ignore him
in seeking a Senator.
There are, of course, other reasons why
Will Hays has little prospects of being
appointed to the Senate.
Hays never was a McCray man. He
has been allied with the interests led
by James P. Goodrich for many years.
These interests made him State chair
man and eventually put him in the
chairmanship of the national committee
when it wn planned to run Goodrich
for President.
When Goodrich fizzled as a presidential
possibility. Hays was astute enough to

Anew buying
basis
The only certain way to com
pare cars is by keeping a Mar
mon Score Card. We summar
ise the 12 items at tha left.
These bring out every demon
strable feature in black and
white, so that comparison is
simple.
To buy any car by accepting
generalities is the old way of
buying. It has been superseded
by this new and easy way of
vital comparisons. Marmon
welcome* it, and no dealer
should hesitate in accepting
this basis of demonstration.
Insist upon it. Beware of any
car that is not subject to
demonstration. It is the only
basis of buying now—the only
way to safeguard your invest
ment.
We urge comparisons. Every
test of the Marmon 34 is wel
comed. Merit must decide.
