MR, DYER DISLIKES ELECTRICITY—WHAT ABOUT GAS? Several (lays ago we received a communication from C*A. Dyer, legislative agent^or the Ohio Farm Bureau and the Ohio State grange, relative to the u&e of electricity by the farmera of Ohio. According to the communication Mr. Charles Jt* Hub- bell, Cleveland, is under the impression that the electric tight companies of Ohio are not giving sufficient co-operation to the Grange and the Farm Bureau and are discriminating in rates. W e learn from content matter that Mr. Hubbell is to look to Mr, Dyer for pay for his services rendered in lending aid in this work. Blanks are enclosed for complaints. * This is the first tiqje that we have heard directly or m directly, of the electric companies taking a stand that needs investigation, although, we confess we have not been in touch with all sections pf the state. The communication sent us does not mention any particular company being guilty so we take it that Messrs, Hubbell and Dyer have them all in the same classi­ fication, Mr. Dyer is signed as the legislative agent of the Farm Bureau and the Grange. That sounds well on paper but when you get into matters he is best known about the legislative halls in Columbus as a lobbyist. There are thousands of farmers in Ohio using natural gas and hundreds of land owners who have wells that were, drilled by. the big gas. companies that are “ plugged/” and no revenue ' coming to the land owner only when gas is drawn out. Mean time the gas companies preach about the shortage of gas. Jus why Messrs. Hubbell and Dyer are concerned, about electric rates and service and not gas, we do not know. Certainly v they are representing the farmer, the gas situation should be looked into along with electricity, * * , Meantime there are many -more hundreds of thousands o: gas consumers in the cities and towns that-are'more concerned about gas charges ahd service than electric light service, which is seldom,criticized in pur hearing. Messrs. Hubbell and Dyer, might also look into the Bel Telephone situation in Ohio, The legislature appropriated more than $100,000 for an investigation but no report is forth coming as yet. Thousands of Ohio farmers are at the mercy , of the phpne trust which is squeezing the life, out of independ­ ent companies all over Ohio.- So far as the trust is concerned, rates are high-and. service rotten but probably Messrs. Hubbel' and Dyer are not aware of the situation. ,< We have no interest in any utility company that needs pro tection but it. appears rather unusual that the electric com­ panies are put on the carpet and. the phone trust and the' gas companies are ignored. The farmers should be informed by •their legislative representative. ■ 1 - , For two or three years Gov. Donahey has endeavored to , get the Fence law, giving utility companies the right to coliec t higher rates before they are granted by the utility commission. repegjed. In the last session Attorney. General Edward Turner , took the same stand. He is still speaking at times in public on the same question. ■ - W e believe Mr. Dyer will be doing a greater service for the farm interests, and those in cities and towns, who use, utility service, to send the word down the line when the legis­ lature next meets that the Pence law must be repealed. As a majority of the members of the legislature come from rura counties Mr- Dyer should have no trouble bringing about such a repeal Vote, At least such a vote would show whether the rural members would rather follow the Grange and Farm Bureau legislative agent, or the lobbysists of the gas companies phon d the e trust that have in the past been so lavish with', about 'the1Capital city. ■mf+ Dyer should also inform the farmers, and the public as 'well, whether he gave sanction to the legislative program during the closing weeks of the last-session. It is known that Mr. Dyer met with a rather stiff rebuke when; he took It uppn •himself to recommend the infamous justice of peace:bill to Ohio farmers. The rural counties rejected the bill as was to be expected. Mr. Dyer should concern himself about the repeal of the Pence law, ‘ The farmers of Ohio owe it to themselves to see that their legislative agent exerts some effort along that line. It promises to be the .one big issue in the next primary "ant general election* Walter Groom*,. 18, m aeqssUtted of r charge o f manslaughter for cutwing the death o f Roy Archer, 17, who died of lojuriea suffered when w was struck by Grooms’ car last November, by a jury in common pleas court Friday.

All of this comes as a result of spending a half mil­ lion dollars to gain the nomination and election. One million­ aire'utility magnet has admitted that he put up $125,000 to in­ sure Smith’s nomination and election. We have laws against the use of money to secure offices, high And low, but it seems that money yet has the greatest in­ fluence in elections. If men continue to squander great sums to debauch the-electorate, the final solutionis to continue to re­ fuse the successful candidates their office, when it is determin­ ed the law has been violated. The utility interests do not put upvgreat sums of money to elect candidates without a hope of using that official for a selfish purpose, probably to the undue advantage of the utility consumer, The public at large will en­ dorse the stand the Senate is to take, Senator-elect Vare of Pennsylvania, whose seat has been denied, should meet the same fate of Smith. ‘ • • The utility interests in the country are attempting to do in the national legislative body what has already been accom­ plished in Ohio* There are members of the Ohio Senate that are under the absolute control of the utility lobby. "NIT THE DECK" Starts Friday, January 13th. Vincent Youmafia Musical Comedy Smash Coming to Fairbanks Theatre, Springfield Cedarville Fanners’ Company Everything for the Perm Grain Phon. 21 C«UrvIll., Ohio Vincent Youmaria, America’s young­ est composer-producer will reveal his latest musical comedy sensation* "Hit the Deck” with its wonderful tunes, "Hallelujah" and “Sometimes I'mHappy" at the Fairbanks Theatre, Springfield, Thursday and Friday, Jan. 26th and 27th. For weeks past there has been much pleasurable anticipation over he coming of this new Youmans musical show. The sensation created following its opening in Nepr York and Chicago spread quickly over the country, and quickly brought to the Yottmans’ headquarters in New York hundreds of insistent demands from other cities for early bookings;. The “Hit the Deck" companies playihg in New York and Chicago to crowded houses at every performance with no sign of a let-up in the de­ mand for seats naturally will be held Ih these cities for many months to come. To satisfy this demand from other cities for early bookings, while the music is Stilt at the height of its vast popularity, Mr. Youmans has or­ ganized a special company, an exact duplicate ih every way with those hoW running in New York and Chi­ cago, which will be sent here. He has provided a special orchestra to play the score and a large chorus of beautiful girls and a male chorus of singers and dancers up to Broad­ way standards. He has engaged i .cast that is in everjr*way first class. It will feature that .charming little artist known to all lovers of musical comedy, Marion Sakl, and will include William McGurn, Virginia Hall, Juanita Chefglo, Ernie Mack, Freddie Lightnei*, George Scully, Marion Day- ton, Leslie McLeod, Marion Wilson, the four Mason sisters, Granville Bates and A. IL Salts.* This city is indeed fortunate to he among the first to see “Hit the Deck" and the interest in this occasion is shown in the enormous demand for tickets. It will be a big event.
