DR.MW.OCH URGES ECONOMY I Democratic Candidate For Governor Speaks To Crow d At Flora Flora, Ind., Sept. 17 —(Special to Daily Democrat > — “Tax reduction, cither as to rate or valuation, would be cf liti'e avail unless immediate and proper economy is made in admin struti'n cf state affairs.” This was the declaration of Dr. Karietop McCulloch, democratic can didate for governor, last night, in a . speech flaying the republican administration for "extrav'sgant government.” Several hundred persons attended the mass nfeetlng. | He then went on to speak of the administration of the auto license an 1 the auto theft departments as carried on by the Secretary nf State's offioe at 'present. “Ar. an example of waste and extravagance as now practiced under ;ho ey< and approval of the Secretary of S ate is the administration of the ' a to lie-use and the auto theft departments. “I nd'T the Secretary of State's stall tr.v rght by virtue of the Republican budget, law to fix sa’arles and to hire employes as he sees fit, these two departments are employing 112 per on:: at salaries ranging from S9O to s3ou per month or at a monthly expense of approximately $15,000. “in th." auto license department :l , ie ar; 25 persons employed, most women and girls. They are sv.pposi d to ( ssue licenses and keep f 11,11 records as required. „ Hgre.iofore these 25 persons car- ’ ' i on the entire work of the office, but the present Secretary of State ; has sublet most of his work, it seems and has established 104 so-called sub- | i

stations where licenses are issued. 1 • As a result of this of the 735.215 mot- 1 i or licenses issued this year approxi- | mateiy 600.000 of them were sublet. 1 the statehouse office force only wait- 1 ■ lag on the 90 459 motor applicants in Indianapolis and Marion county. “But despite this lessening in the work there was no reduction in the office force. In addition, where sub- ■ stations are installed a fee of four l cents was allowed the privileged one I which would amount to approximate- | iy $25,000 on the licenses issued out ide of Marion county. "In many instances these substa-; ticns are established in so-called loan! banks over the state. “In the auto theft department there are 87 employes, 39 of whom are women, according to the pay roll fil< d with ttie State Auditor. f, “It would be haid to imagine what i 1 39 women could find to do in an auto theft department. But then it is a‘ ■ nice easy piece to put one's friends. 1 Under the Secretary of State there. * are 124 persons employed and th< _i total appropriations tinder the budget t ■ aw for the department of State was 31 $357,375. "Cost of the Secretary of State's I office last year exclusive of the an ’©mobile departments was $47,655.27.; ■ The same off ice under Governor Rai- ’ ston in 1916 was administered at a . cost of $12,770.86 or a difference in >' gl’.t years of $34 885.42. | "Janother example of this al J'lcged business administration.” _o | ’ Representation Plan Os Employes Approver’ >■ ' ' 1 The Board of Directors of the , Northern Indiana Gas and Electric Company cf which Samuel Instill is president has approved the employe representation plan for the northern division, which includes Hammend. I Ecst Chicago, Indiana Harbor, Whiting. South Bend. Michigan City, Plymouth and Mishawaka. Under this plan, which is to be put into effect immediately, all employes I" wil have a voice in settling all questions affecting relations between themselves and the company, including questions of hours, compensation o and working conditions. L This employes representation plan I is similar to other plans already in operatio nin other public utility companics also under the management cf Mr. Insull. Extnslon of the plan to the southern division of the company, which a includes Fort Wayne, Lafayette, Ix>- ‘ gansport, Wabash, Peru. Crawford- ( ville. Frankfort, Lebanon. Decatur , and Bluffton will be made later. Adoption of the plan is to be voted on e by the employes of tho southern c division within the next month. s Employes of the northern division . adopted the plan at a referendum hcl don September 2 by a vote of 636 . to 57. r Constitutions under which the re- . presentation plan will be operated , have already ben adopted in constitutional conventions” held in Hammond and in Fort Waye, which were atteded by delegates elected by the employes and an equal number appointed by the management. The constitutional convention in the northern division was held July 22. 23. and 24 and the convention in the southern division was in session on September 3 and 4. Now that the plan adopted by th? employes Ijas been approved by the, board of directors, territorial councils , will be created in the northern division at once and members will be elected by thd employes and an equal number will be appointed by the management. All questions involving the relations between employes and the general council will be created to

~company*wlU then be'conafdered by these teritorial councils and a joint, which appeals may be taken, if neces1 sary. H. H. Adams, manager of the In- J Mistrial Relations Department, through which the employee representation Plan wil be operated, will I cull a primary election in the near future for the purpose of nominating candidates for representatives on the I territorial councils. . - Tipton—Freshmen at the high school here have bobbed hair.

M-W-Ftf MARKETS-STOCKS Daily Report Os Local And Foreign Markets Opening Grain, Chicago Chicago, Sept. 17. —Opening grain trade on the Chicago board of trade today was apathetic. Wheat traders were slow to get started. Little ini portance was placed on the Canadian , crop resume and the general disposition was to await developments before coming out. J- Corn tended lower. It was appar- ' ent that re-hash of bull news had gone ■ stale. Most of the speculative support was ; centered in oats because of their intrisic value and reports of heavy export sales. f Provisions were firm with hogs and : cables.
