Why We Favor The Sale The three non-partisan appraisers, chosen after a prolonged study by judge Myles F. Parrish so that they would be persons completely unbiased, have stated that the Indiana-Michigan price is “more than fair.” The city of Decatur, Consoer-Townsend, and Indiana-Michi-gan, all of whom have carefully examined the situation, have advised that people vote to sell the property at the figure of $2,102,300. At first almost everyone naturally felt that the utility should be retained. Arguments that if IndianaMichigan can make money here, so can Decatur, sound good, until you realize that Decatur cannot generate power as cheaply or even purchase power as cheaply as I&M. Also, the city would have to raise rates to build a substation and revamp the lines—costing each city user $1.50 to $2.50 a month more. Or the city could add a SIO,OOO to $30,000 tax raise to the property tax. this would be just to provide lines which we should have right now, not ones that will be necessary to meet the load in 10, 15, or 25 years. Then the 5,000 KW steam generator went on the blink, coating the city $37,000 to repair. If it had not been for the line from Indiana-Michigan, and the immediate installation of additional transformer service, Decatur would have been in an extremely serious position. What cities are growing, expanding, and improving? The ones that get new industries. And IndianaMichigan actively tries to bring new industries to the cities which it services. Private industry naturally prefers private utilities. There are several “ifs” involved on either side of the question. “If” the city plant has excellent management, “if” the citizens are willing to assume higher and higher taxes and rates, and lose the friendship of the 1,000 rural users,.and “if” they want to chance getting industries on their own, without the help of a go-getting utility, then the plant can be retained. Is this practical? On the other hand, the sale is a good thing, if the money obtained from it is wisely spent. This is the sole remaining question, and can be easily answered by the council members now running for ree eCtion, and by the mayor. Its full answer will depend on the continuing interest of the people in the expenditure of the money: if the people insist, and continue to insist, on spending only the interest, and keeping the principle, it will be a wonderful thing for the city. If the money is frittered away on expensive improvements that will add to the future tax-maintenance of the city property, it will be a bad thing for the city. Talk about the franchise is foolish. If the people of the city are mistreated in any way, they can reobtain the franchise from the PSC. In fact, few people remember when Decatur’s electric system was private- . ly owned, but it was. The city obtained the franchise then. And they can obtain it again, under the present law which is old and established. In other words, almost everyone who has seriously considered the question of the sale, looked at all the figures, and all the advantages and disadvantages on each side, has decided in favor of the sale. Only those who have not bothered looking at the problem, and are sentimental-y attached to the past, without any interest in the rates or taxes resulting from their sentimentta ity, or those who are trying to justify their own or relatives position in the past on certain questions, or : Plant employes and their relatives, are still opposed. fllj PROGRAMS Central Daylight Time WANE-TV Mornlß< WBDWESDAY CHANNEL 15 6:3o—Continental Classroom TIKSUAY I 00—Today Uvenlnv ’ : oo—Romper Room 6:Di—Amos & Andy <3:ss—Faith To Live By 6:30—-This Day 1359 >o:oo—Dough Re Mi —Doug Edwarde-News 10:30—Treasurer Hunt 30—iHotpoimt I’iavho.use 11:<|9' —I’niee Is Kight. —Swn iFram ls< <> Beat 11:30—Concentration I:3o—Tv Tell the Truth Afternoon 9:oo—Arthur Godfrey 13:00—Tic Tac Dough 9:3o—.Red Skelton 12:30—1t Could Be You 18:00—Garry Moore I:oo—Farms and Farming IS'.O 2*OTH *'entury, 1:10 — News & Weather WEDNESDAY I:2o—The Editor's Desk worn IUK 1:311—I Married Joan iSunrise Semester <2:oo—Queen 4k>r A I >ay 7:30 —Papermint Theatre 2:3o—Haggis Baggis 7:ls—Willy Wonderful 3:o*o—Young Dr Malone —CBS News _3:3o—■ From These 'ltuota B:ls—Captain Kangaroo 4:oo—iTrirth or Conse<iu»nces 9:<>o—Our Milts Brooks 4:3o—Five Star Movie. /o:3o—Breakfast in Fort Wayne 6:oo—GatesWay to Snorts 10:30—Godfrey Time 6:ls—News, Jack Gray r? ik'i cy 6:2s—The Weatherman AttermuS?

CHAPTER 33 A COUNCIL with the Snake and Bannock chiefs was held j tn Jim Bridger's lodge. The door j flaps were tieci back so that the | ranks of Indians outside could hear what was going on.— Nothing could be hurried. Bridger smoked and spoke of the long friendship of the Snakes and Bannocks—he was stretching things g considerable on the last —with the trappers of the Rofcky Mountain Fur Co. Did not the Rocky Mountain men always come into the country *ot their friends with goods to trade, unlike the men of the Hudson's Bay Co., who stayed in forts and asked the Indians to come to them ? He made much of friendship, valor, and the strong spirit of Rocky Mountain and its Indian friends. Now, Rocky Mountain was again coming with much trade goods to the rendezvous. They were having trouble with weak mules and horses, having come such a great distance to trade with their friends. Others were ahead of them. This would hurt Rocky Mountain greatly, but that was not the bad thing about it. There was much worse, and that was why the council had been called to warn the people of the Snakes and Bannocks. In the pack trains of Hudson’s Bay Co. and American Fur Co. was the spotted death. Some of the lesser chiefs covered their, mouths. From the • crowd outside there came a grunt of rage and fear. “The spotted death is hr the firewater that Sun-on-the-Face and Red Man bring," Bridger said solemnly. “It is also in their food, and it crawls like little lice in all their trade goods, waiting to bite those who receive them.” Terror and anger leaped in the eyes of the Indians. The spotted death that rotted the faces of strong warriors, of children, of squaws. Once it started, flight did not help. The spotted death followed like the wind. "Why have no Crows been seen thia summer?” Bridger asked. They knew about the spotted death. Red Coat MacKenzle at Fort Union had sent word to warn them to stay deep in the mountains, but he was sending his train to the Snakes and Bannocks, a train that crawled with the lice of the rotten-faced sickness. The Rocky Mountain Fur Co. would not do thil The rage increased. The council almost got away from Bridger. Some of the lesser chiefs who should have waited for their elders to speak forgot themselves and suggested that it might be well to kill all the white men in the mountains. Others were for running away at once, like the Crows. Three Horns began to speak. Fran the novel published py The M

I "We have known that the Crows ' have been afraid of the spotted 1 death, but we nave seen none." • Why is it that the trains of Red I Man and the American Fur Company chief bring the death, but the othter train, which is behind, brings nothing but good?” 'lt Is In the firewater. It escapes and goes everywhere when the firewater is released. But nobody has to get the spotted death,” Bridger told the Indians. Were the Snakes and Bannocks who had come a great distance to trade with their friends to be' scared away into the mountains before they did any trading? All they had to do was to riels tn force and warn the two bad trains not to come any farther. ' but to return to their homes at once. Old Three Horns, who knew i well that the Crows considered ■ Jim Bridger a greater liar than ' even a Crow, interposed a shrewd ; question: “Who has seen the > spotted death coming?” The Ban- « nocks had traveled far with Red ■ Man. They had seen no sickness : among his men. Tom Fitzpatrick said, ”1 have : seen the sickness on the face of a Frenchman with the train of I Sun-on-the-Face.” I "Little Thief, the Nez Perce, 1 saw the sickness last night on the face of a man with Red Man’s i train," Milt Sublette said. “That was why Little Thief lefT~W> hastily for his own country in the mountains.” As a matter of > fact, Little Thief had left hastily : Beaatwe : quarrel -wftfr hferelatlves. Sublette hoped he would ( stay mad a long time. > The truth was easy to find • out, Bridger said. Let all the Snakes and Bannocks go to meet , the train. Then let a few of the chiefs riße close enough to see ■ for themselves if the spotted , death Was there. i Why was it that white men • always brought bad things to the ■ Indians? Three Horns wanted to know. Not the men of Rocky Mountain, Bridger said. They were ! bringing many good things. It . was the others who were of such bad hearts that they didn’t care if the Bannocks died like leaves falling in the autumn. Let them be warned not to come farther That was all that was needed, except some ponies to, help the Rocky Mountain pack train reach rendezvous. One of the guards on a small hill above the American Fur Co. camp yelled, “Hoss!” He held his rifle high and pointed north. A dozen Yiders came over a hiU to the north. Most of them were Indians, with two or three white men among them. They stopped and made the signs of peace and asked for a talk. Emil Frederick went out to meet them. tfacmlllan Co.

Standing close to Baptiste uajoie, Rhoda Marsh touched flis arm and then withdrew her hand quickly. "It is nothing?” "Les Salvages?” La Joie’s tone implied that he killed a few of them everyday. “Poof! Nossing!” Rhoda saw Ree Semple wipe his knife in the grass. He rose and lifted his shapeless wool hat and scratched his head, looking toward her as he did so. A moment later he started walking slowly toward the Indians. Rhoda turned toward the brush ■ and trees behind Frederick’s small lodge. Lajoie picked up his rifle. He was about to walk away when Rhoda stopped and looked at him. For a moment he didn’t believe what he saw. In the tilt of her head, in the flash of her eyes, Lajoie had seen invitation. He put his rifle down. He glanced around him. They were all watching the Indians. Lajoie strolled after Rhoda as she disappeared. She was standing in a small opening, toying with the medicine bag which she had unslung from around her neck, when he approached her. A fear raised sharply in the woman’s eyes as Lajoie stepped up to her. She was looking past his, shoulder and she raised one hand to her mouth. Lajoie spun around with his hand on his knife to see who was intruding. Rhoda’ held the medicine bag by the thong. She swung it short and hard. The lethal weightof bullets in the bag took Lajoie on the side of the head. It was indeed strong medicine. Baptiste Lajoie fell like a dead man. From under her dress she took the oilskin packet with the mixture of vermilion and bacon grease that Ree had stirred together two days before. She snatched a twig and knelt beside Lajoie. The mixture was warm from her body heat stood in heavy globules as she touched it to Lajoie’s face and nands with the stick. Some of the vermilion had darkened from the grease, so that black streaks showed in the hideous pustules she created on Lajoie’s face and hands. Rhoda heard Emil Frederick’s voice raised angrily: “It’s one of your dirty tricks. Fitzpatrick! You’ve lied to them!” “Then it won’t hurt none if they look, will it?” "I ain’t seen nobody sick since I been along,” Ree Semple said. Rhoda burst from the trees then. She worked her mouth soundlessly and pointed back to where Lajoie lay. Rhoda is playing a danger- ' ous game in which she can lose everything to the watchful Indians. The story moves toward a surprise conclusion tomorrow, s tri bated by King Features Syndicate.

Asks Commission To Review Budgel Ads INDIANAPOLIS (UPD — Sen. Eugene Bainbridge (D-Munster) who was minority caucus chairman during the 1959 General Assembly, said he expects to ask the Indiana Legislative Advisory Commission to serve as a reviewing body for action of the State Budget Committee. He conceded the propoal might be construed as a deflating solution for a current battle being waged by another Democratic senator, Nelson Grills of Indianapolis. Grills wrote two letters to State Auditor Albert A. Steinwedel, also a Democrat, in which he warned that House Bills 2 and 3—which composed the billion-dollar budget — and the 1941 law creating the State Budget Committee seemed to him to be unconstitutional. One of the points made by Grills was that the State Budget Committee, a part of the executive branch of government, invades the legislative province by its actions in approving expenditures beyond the amount set by the General Assembly. Bainbridge argued that if the advisory commission were to assume the authority of reviewing the minutes of the budget committee’s actions, this would have the effect of returning the abrogated power to the lawmaking body. Bainbridge is< a member of the new Legislative Advisory Commission which was increased from 10 to 14 members. The importance of this interim legislative body also was increased by the Legislature which handed it several specific tasks to perform, ranging from studying the residence requirements for welfare recipients to searching for possible facilities for house the aged and mentallj deficient. Grills’ letters to Steinwedel lec the auditor ‘to seek and receive an opinion from Attorney General Edwin K. Steers. The Republican attorney general told the audito: to go ahead and pay out the money designated by the budget bills’ln the absence of a judicial determination to the contrary. ’ Grills said he intends to seek such court ruling soon, probably by filing a suit seeking to restrain the auditor from paying certain salary hikes authorized by the budget committee and not specifically allocated by the General Assembly. Grills said "the authority of the State Budget Committee to alter fixed figures” set by the lawmakers represents a clear illustration of his contention that ,t h e gubernatorially - named committee ig usurping rights that belong to the Legislature. As yet, no date has been set for the first meeting of the Legislative Advisory Commission, but the Bainbridge proposal indicates the potent commission may be picking up gubernatorial static already, although the state conventions are more than a year away. Bainbridge is known as a supporter of Sen. Matthew E. Welsh i D-Vincennes) one of the top contenders for the party’s nomination asgovernor, and the Munster wholesale fuel dealer reputedly has a hopeful eye on a lieutenant - governorship nomination for himself. Any lessening of the spotlight on other fellow Democratic contenders for either of these offices would not be welcome to Bainbridge. Grills became so widely known during his 61 days in the General Assembly -that a word "grillibuster” was coined by newsmen to cover his tactics of slowing down the legislative proepss in the name of the Constitution. Steinwedel also has become better I known to the voters by his economy demands. The Grills-to - Steinwedel - toSteers correspondence over the constitutionality of the budget has added to that public notice and the two Democrats stand to get more mileage out of the issue if it is not Settled, by some other means.
