Why not bring also a list of the twenty poorest ones and then strike an average? Clothed with high authority the state commissions have a queer way to reach conclusions. Another big achievement in Wash ington —two thousand democrats "fired" from civil service.

Indianapolis, April 7. —(Special to Dally Democrat)—The public service commission of Indiana compels street car company to pave between the tracks. This practice ia a relic of the old horse car days and has been a source of trouble ever since, according to members of the commission today. Ln this connection, they said, ruts between the tracks were worn by horse hoofs. These ruts were so deep that vehicles could not cross the tracks at street intersections. The street car company was then compelled to keep the intersections in a passable condition. This requirement was continued by neglect to remove ft from the contract with the city.
