THE REASON
Thc Ohio Power company, ono of
the Buckeye stafe’s biggest clectri-
_ v city-supplying concerns, has filed
I } with thc Public Utilities Com
mission a schedule asking ''materially
lower ratca” Chad thcii
charges.
Many companies are 1 realising in
these days the truth of the law of
diminishing returns. They arc find
ing that high ratea drive away cus
tomers, and that there la more money
for them in serving a greater num
her of customers at cheaper rates
than fewer customers at high rates.
BLEEDING
The' board of trustees of Johns
Hopkins Hospital at Baltimore have
set a maximum fee of $1,000 for an
operation performed there, and have
limited the charge any physician may
make for hospital attendance to $35
a week.
“Bleeding” may be a part of tho
prescribed treatment in hospitals.
But financial bleeding of patients
is a sure method of bringing a re
lapse in thc condition of thc insti-
tu'ion.
For, as President Harlan of thc
Johns Hopkins Board of Directors,
says: “Tho policy of charging ail the
traffic will bear destroys public con
fidence in Che physician. A patient
overcharged is * liability to a hospit
al when he.begins.talking amung his
friends.”

LONDON, August 4.—It 'a war to
thc death now between the two moat
influential men in tho British empire
—Lloyd George, the premier, and
Lord Northcliffe, thc publisher.
Lord Northcliffe made ’ Lloyd
George Premier.
The question is, can thc publisher
unmake thc premier?
Millions there are in the British
Isles who will bet he can.
■ The issue will be decided either
before or during thc coming dis
armament conference in Washington.
Lord Northcliffe is opposing the ap
parent intention of Lloyd George to
attend the conference as the repre
sentative of Great Britain. "Of all
the statesmen in Europe he is prob
ably tho most distrusted,” tho pub
lisher says of tho premier.
Personal Affront.
Whatever Lord Northcliffe had
said through his papers and what
ever Lloyd George had said in«reply
was regorded as merely differences
on matters of public policy until the
British embassy at Washington per
sonally affronted Lord Northcliffe
by withdrawing invitations to a din
ner Which it had planned to givo for
"This is a personal insult which
Lord Northcliffe will exact retri

’ When a man is laboring under a

der those circumstances he ie el-

“When a man has deluded him

As a matter of fact, Lloyd George
largely owes his portion to tho
Northcliffe press. It was the expose
of the British need for high explosive

Lloyd George be made minister of

his big chance in the early years
of the war.
Also Northcliffe declined thc .pre
mier’s request to accept a position

only unsparingly criticized Ids ad

of which were:
FIRST—The necessity for rigid
economy in government and the cut

waste campaign resulted in ievcral
