TbP Governor has contended all along that the Cult's luiu uuuun hiuiicji wji.ii hirh to tide them ever, Dut me cities row without the legal authority to make loans. If tne bankers OI the various lines' are willing to take a chance on ,li ipfalitv of the loans'they will make ,he different cities, mere can oe ntue obiection to this course, provided such a scheme can be worked out. Indications are that the meeting will fee well attended. Some of the cities, which are not so much worried over the invalidation of the mupcipal finance act are sending representatives to Ral egh for the purpose of hearing and par ticipating in the discussion. They will stand by the sister cities in any action "jley take looking to relief from the present embarrassing situation. Some .'t",y ftv officials in Ralirh dpcinrp that they can see little hope for bet-1 terment of the situation unless the Gov-1 cri.or iloes cal' a special session. While ail the argument is for the special ses sion, sentiment is against it, for the av erage man dos not want a session of th? legislature any oftenev thin the constitution requires and t'a j exigencies KEELOR TO TALK TO CREDIT MEN Investigator of N. A. C. M., to be Guest and Speaker. C. H. Keelor, of Philadelphia, special investigator for the National Associa tion of Credit Men, will be the princi pal speaker at the monthly meeting and luncheon of the Charlotte Associa tion of Credit Men Friday from 1 to 2 '-7r.rk at the Southern Manufacture! s Club. me address of Mr. Keelor will be the principal event of the occasion. He will explain the methods used by the investigators and detectives of the National Association of Credit Men m protecting credit men from fraudulent practices on the part of swindlers, con fidence men and others. "Commercial Fraud and Methods of Its Investiga tion" will be the title of his address. Mr. Kcelor's address will be of spe cial interest to Charlotte credit men because of the fact that the national body which he represents is at preseat pressing indictments against a group of Syrian merchants in Jorth Carolina who have been charged with a swin dling and fraudulent scheme to ob tain goods. The exposure of the scheme was brought about by- Mr. Ketlor and his associates working for the National Association of Credit Mpn. which maintains an investiga ting department lor running down and lntecuting those guilty of practices alleged against the group of Syrians in this State. An invitation is extended not oniy t" wholesale but to retail credit men to attend the luncheon and hear Mr. Kcelor's talk. I. C. Triplett is program chairman for the meeting. in assuming that t,,, 1 with wiifi v;u aci was aone I1! -?tent. to violate the in- show. - "or aoes the evidence so "The precautions taken by Paul W. !?rCk. ?.lace his act vvithin the th a ine iaw does not relieve SIS ?SJt e 8ld Paul W- Schenck for S?Awd;calUng his attention to wm hf iha further acts of this kind wiir be. construed as a direct violation of the law and subject to the can- vciiduuii oi nis license. ' TEN-CENT FAIR ALLOWED. Declaring that it is a question of either allowing the Concord street car company to charge ten-cent fares or tearing up its tracks and going out of business, the Corporation Commission issued an order allowing the company to increase its rates , from eight to ten cents. The company has lost over $5,000 a year for the last two years. Despite the of prices downward, there has been practically ' no . decrease in the opera,t mg costs of the Concord company Common labor cllned, but that-represents only about nve per cent of the total operating i;jbl ui me company, which has never paid war-time wages. "The law says that, we must give every public utility a fair return on the value of its property. There is no possioie chance for us to give this company such a return in Concord, for, at a rate that would produce such a return, the people would not ride." ' The commission, outside of its' for mal order, points out that the Concord situation is - a peculiar .. one and in no wise characteristic of - the con ditions prevailing in the larger cities of the State. The Concord street car line runs from the station .to the .city proper, and the traffic is not large enough to make it a very great money maker even in normal times. The traffic is very, small. THIS IS NOT INDEX. The decision, in this case is in no wise indicative of what the commis sion will do with the other petitions for an increase in rate from cities where the population is a great deal larger and the number of passengers hauled -onuch larger. At the present time the commision has .two other petitions for increase car fare be fore it. One is the Carolina Power and Light Company, which wants to increase tne car tare in Raleigh from seven to eight cents. The evidence in this case is in and the arguments have already been made. The other petition comes from Durham, where the Durham Public Service Company wants to increase its rate from eight to "ten cents. That case is to be heard in the near future. The city officials have already been notified of "the pe tition, and the corftmission understands that preparations are being made to enter protests against the. petition for an increase.
