The President was against, the bill the last time, but he is not among those who are too feeble to change their minds.

Four black and white oxen, yoked to a cart so. built that the wheels creaked in different tones, dragged the corpse of Japan's Mlksdo slowly to his grave.

There are fine women In America. A year ago Mrs. Myrtle Huddleston of California took up swimming "to reduce." On Saturday she swam the Catalina channel, her 11-year-old. boy crying out to- her, "Come ON, Mama! Don't give up." When she flinlfhed the swim, the 30-year-old mother was delfrioiis, partly paralyzed and had bitten four times by a savage barracuda. Too bad that such a woman should wsste her marvelous vitality on a battle that pleases the morbid but does no good.

Pittenger or Selma. Republican floor leader of thi Mouse, supporting the plan for a com prehensive survey of atate regulation of utilities, were developments yesterday in the legislative consideration of the utility question. Representative Pittenger branded ai untrue a published statement quoting him as saying that "an unknown lob byist" handed him the bill calling for a survey of utility regulation. Ha declared that this bill, at well as two others calling for remedial utility leg islation, were prepared In the office ot Attorney General Arthur Uilllom, and will be the subject of conferences by majority members of the House.

The Intent of this bill." Represent- Stive Pittenger said, referring to the survey plan, 'is to Hod out the best way for government agenclea to handle public utilities. 1, can not under stand the desperation of an Indian spoils newspaper which would go to such length as to declare that 1 said 1 received the survey bill rrora an un known lobbyist." NO CHANGES OfFERED. No amendments were offered to the bill backed by Senator James 3 Kejdl of Whiting, president pro tern, of the Senate, when his measure passed second reading. The Kejdl bill provides for aooeal from nnal orders or tne public senite commission to the Cir cuit or Superior courts. A similar bill it beina- considered by Representative Pittenger for Introduction in we House.

Senator Russell B. Harrison of In-1 dlanapollt presented another utility bill. This bill provides that the Gov ernor shall nominate members of the. public service commission and their appointment shall be ratified by the I state Senate. In the Mouse Representatives hd- ward B.

Bender, Democratic caucus leader, of Zionsville, and Ira A. Men- denhall of Washington, Republican, Jointly introduced a bill calling for abolition of the public service commission. Under It the regulation of utilities would be returned to the various local municipalities: Ths bill was referred to Judiciary A committee. It Is similar to the Cann bill pending in the Senate. Representative Pittenger denied a newspaper quotation ssying he would vote for the Cann bill to abolish the commission.

In a trepared statement relative to utility leglslstlon he has In mind. Representative Pittenger declared: can not understand the despera tion of, an Indianapolis newspsper which would go to such length ss to declare that 1 said I received the sur vey bill from an unknown- lobbyist Nothing is further fiom the truth. "Arthur Ollllonv attorney gen eral, prepared this survey bill. He hn likewise prepared two sdditional bills which 1 now haye under consideration. One of theae remedial bills provide! for appeal from the orders of the pub tic service commission to the Circuit or Super lot courts.

The other exempt municipally owned utilities from the Jurisdiction of the public service com mission. I Intend to confer with ma. Jorlty members of the House on these bills. The attorney general of Indiana Is a logical person to prepare the phraseology of bills for members of the Indiana General Assembly. He Is paid for doing that thing as well as attending to other legal matters of the state.

The Intent of this bill (the survey measure) is to And out the best way for government agencies to handle public utilities. That problem If a pressing one. A tremendoua business la involved, one of the largest businesses In the NOT DILATORY MKASl'RK. "The bill does not seek 'to block sny well-defined plan that is safe snd sound which may already be Under consideration. It Is not a dilatory move.

That la true because no plsn has been presented which In my opin ion offers a solution to problem. The very diversity among utility bills already before the Legislature is evidence of the lack of unity of opinion anions the members of this Assembly. My only interest is to evolve ulti mately a sound plan of utility regula tion. 1 rertalnlgr have no political views on subject. It Is not a fit topic for political eonsiderstlon.

I seek one thing, the, ultimate solution of this perplexing- "If someone tomorrow should propound a feasible plan of regulating utilities with justice snd equity to all persons Involved.
