Railroads Increase Hammond To Chicago Ticket Rates.

Railroads running between Hammond and Chicago have increased the price of tickets to 50 cents each way to take effect Nov. Ist. In other words the commutation rate of 50 cents for the round trip will cease ,on the first of November. Many Rensselaer people traveling between >ere and Chicago have saved 40 .cents on the .round trip by buying j*a .round trip ticket to Hammond for $2.10 and then one of the 50 i cent round trip tickets between Hammond and Chicago. This can nbt be done, however, after Nov ; Ist, -and the rate of $1.50 each way will i prevail. The Hammond Times suggests that the way to heat the new tariff agreement of the railroads for the next six months or a year is to lay in a supply of tickets before Nov. Ist. The ten ride tickets are good for a year.

The Evening Republican.

ARCHIBALD M. HALL MADS FINE SPEECH

Indianapolis Manufacturer .Arraigns Democracy for Extra** ■ gance and Other Failings. “My country, ’tls for thee, Sweet land of liberty, {For thee I plead. To save thy honored name From democratic blame And blunder’s bungling shame, And spoilsman’s greed. . ■ " ■/ With this as his text Archibald M. Hall, an Indianapolis business man, delivered in Rensselaer Friday evening one of the most eloquent political addresses ever heard in this city. Taking from his speech his reference to politics ana it would make a magnificent Chautauqua addfess. It was a masterful speech,' filled with solid argument and studded with oratorical flights that produced much applause from his audience. Mr. Hall was introduced by /Attorney Moses Leopold. He warmed up gradually tq his subjects and when he was well under way his hearers realized that he was not only enthusiastically sincere in his argument, but that he was possessed of the ability to assign many reasons why Indiana should support the cause of the republican party. ■ - - Mr. Hall is a graduate of Butler college and Yale and Chicago universities and his extensive study as a literary student in preparation for the ministry, which he followed for some years, qualifies him as a speaker of marked ability. He said, in part: We are proud of Indiana. It is thirtyseventh in size but is one of the leading states in Our splendid sisterhood. Its surface undulates with loamy bottoms and fertile plains, nestling lakes and winding rivers. Its substratum is rich in minerals and its sky rivals that of Italy in transparent blue and gorgeous sunsets. It is so located that the tides of commerce and travel, east and west, and north and south sweep through its borders.

\lts people are a composite of the best of the austere enterprise-devotefi Puritaff, the determined Dutch, the gallant cavalier and the Kentucky colonel, and the finer attributes of the many nations that here find employment and home. It ranks thirteenth in the number of Inhabitants but it is located at the center of population of the country which makes It the hub of the nation, and the dynamo of the universe. The energy of its'people has developed Its natural resources until it ranks ninth In the production of coal, ninth in petroleum and all minerals. Their industry has felled the forests apd drained the marshes and made It one of the leading agricultural states. It ranks tdnth in the value of farm lands, tenth In the production of hay, tenth In oats, seventh In wheat and third In corn and has the honor of carrying off the internatioanl sweepstakes for the perfection of Its grain. The determined enterprise of its people has opened shops that display the wart's of the Occident and the Orient and has developed factories that are eighth In number and ninth in the value of their output and ninth in products that go to the continents and the islands of the seas. Their love for great achievement has builded lines of travel that are thirteenth in number of miles and that connect with nineteen of the 346 leading cities. . This state has the second largest railroad center and the largest interurban center In the world. The domestic. spirit of its people has filled the state with happy homes. Their commercial activity has builded cities crowned with towering skyscrapers. Their love for knowledge ranks tenth, being lowered by a school equipment that ranks fourteenth in value and a student body that is sixth in number, and a teachingj'force that is iinexcelled. Their intellectual activities have reared scholars of international renown and produced the best of science and literature and music and art. Their statesmanship is respected in the council chambers of the nation and the assemblies of the peoples.

But today our fair state Is bowed In humiliation. The public fundß are being squandered. The multiplication of commissions and boards and clerks and stenographer, has increased beyond all reason in public expense. The average annual cost Governor Hanley* administration was $2,805,163.29; under Marshall’s $3,873,912.03, an Increase of $868,648.74. Mr. Ralston, who has always been accustomed to do things on a large scale, has raised it to $4,453,879.71, an Increase of $1,648,716.41. And because of this extravagance the state debt Is being poorly handled. When Mr. Durbin became governor the d«bt was $4,704,615.12; he reduced it to sl,902.616.12. Mr. Hanley reduced It to $1,610,163.12. Bven Governor Marshall reduced It to $1,260,163.12, or about $250,000. But by the magic finance of Mr. Ralston the debt has been greatly increased, and today the state Is borrowing money to keep from becoming a common bankrupt. To get more money to squander, thqp valuation of taxable* has been Increased and the rate has been raised. In 1908 the assessed value was $1,723,311,564; In 1913 it was »1.938,807,235. The tax rate in 1908 was

RENSSELAER, INDIANA, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 17, 1914.

.3335 cents on the $1,000; in 1013 it was .401 —the litUe thing about which the democrats claim the republicans are making so much fuss. . Do you know what it amounts to-by way of taxes? It amounts to $1,308,189. But even this does not make up the enormous increase of $1,648,716.41 in the expense of Goversnor Ralston’s administration, so all kinds of special taxes are levied ’ln the form of licenses and permits. One cannot go with his little bojr to the creek to catch a fish without a license. He can not chase a rabbit; he can not travel along the road in a Ford; he can not build a home; he can not repair a porch; he can not draw a decent salary without a license, and soon a man will not be allowed to take a drink from the old spring with a gourd without paying for a permit an amount equal to the price of a glass of beer, nor take a chew of Honest Scrap without the supervision of an accounting board. As republicans we are opposed to this extravagance which burdens the people. We are unequivocally for a reduction- in taxes. The machinery of the state is being made to serve selfish ends. Efficiency is sacrificed to favoritism. No one can hope for an appointment who has not been a party worker. The adminiftratian is a carnival of incapacity. In the last campaign three questions' were pronounced—the tariff, the currency and the trusts. The campaign was bitter. Never did three more representative men than Wilson and Roosevelt and Taft stand for the presidency and never was the criticism more severe, the impugning of motives more flagrant, and the desire to rule or ruin more pronounced. The democrats were lucky. They came into complete control of government- with the president and a majority in both houses of the congress. On the 4th of March, 1913, the master called the school to order and set. the class in arithmetic solving the nation’s problems. They have been “lightning calculators.” The first great achievement of these sages was the 'wit-sharp-enfng’ tariff law. That seems to have been a grim prophecy. When men are thrown out of useful employment thyy make their living by their wits. We republicans prefer a tool-sharpening or wheel-turning tariff law. What has the Underwood bill done for the country? Th<? object of a tariff law is two-fold. (1) To secure revenue with which to run the government, and (2) to afford protection to industries from foreign competition. >

It seems to serve the first purpose well, although prophecies were made that it would fall one hundred and thirty millions short of meeting the general expenses. The latest reports indicate that by supplementing it with heavy corporation and Income taxes and a war tax in time of peace amounting to one hundred and five millions of dollars, there ought to be a sufficient revenue to run the government even under democratic extravagance. Mr. Rainey, of Texas, cites this with great pride and then adds triumphantly. “If any are out of work let them go to help harvest the crops In Oklahoma." I grant Mr. Raney that the only object of a tariff law is to supply revenues for the government even though the good citizens be compelled to leave their homes and shops and factories and go to Oklahoma to reap wheat; to Argentine to raise corn; to New Zealand to churn, butter; and to China to lay eggs; then this law may be a success. The cost of living has gone higher; so high that-even'the illustrious secretary of state must supplement his paltry salary of $12,000 a- year with the earnings of the Chautauqua platform, and Mr. Kern, with his $7,600 attorney’s fees, was restrained from the same course only by press of Important legislation. Besides it has taken from the wage-earner the ability to buy a living at any cost as there are more than two million and a half men out of employment today hecause of this tariff law. Wilson passed this tariff law to give men more numerous opportunities for .business, but since its enactment no new opportunities have been cited and there has been taken away from them many even that they had.

Ostend Now Occupied By German Army Latest Report.

Ostend, famous watering place in Belgium,-has fallen to the Hermans. It is qnly 22 miles from the English coast and in all /probability will be the base of German movements toward England. Time alone will tell how successful these movements will be, but with the reported building of numerous Zeppelin airships and with the ponderous artillery of the Gefthans, it is safe to say that great unrest is felt in England. Poor little Belgium is certainly the most unfortunate nation of all time. In a message sent to the world by King Albert reads: ‘Tell everybody I will never leave my arm* if I leave Belgian soil. A>l are ready to give their lives, as am I, for Belgium’s independence. It breaks my heart to think that this beautiful country, so peaceful, so industrious, should be occupied even temporarily by so wanton an enemy. I feel that whatever has been done has the warm approval of all. Belgians and civilized Europe. We may suffer reverses but our confidence of final victory is stronger than ever. We are beaten, perhaps, for the time being, but we ate not crushed.”

done for the farmer? Ask the dairyman; ask the poultryman; ask the grain dealers; ask the raiser of sheep. His markets have been taken away because of the closing of the mills and factories and now the nen of foreign clipies are enjoying that market, and manufacturers are expecting the depression to cut deeper into the business of the country. After discussing the qualities of the N republican state and legislative candidates, Mr. Hall closed his address with a tribute to Old Glory. The spirit of his tribute was born while Mr. Hall was standing on the wharf in London awaiting passage to America and an American ship with Old Glory at the mast head touched that port, was recognized by the ships of foreign nations, and then sailed away. The effort was one of the best ever heard in Rensselaer, either upon the lecture platform, the stuuyj or the stage. The most famous of Indiana orators have nothing on Archibald M. Hall as a public speaker and if occasion ever permits of another visit to Rensselaer the opera house will be far too small for a meeting place.

GOOD ROAD SHOW IN CHICAGO SOON

Five Hundred Foot Boulevard Constructed of Different Kinds of Pavement to Be Shown. A magnificent boulevard, twenty feet wide and more than four hundred feet long, extending around the arena in the great international amphitheatre, will form one of the unique features of the coming good roads congress in Chicago. The boulevard will be divided into sections, each section being constructed of different materials and fyy different methods. Practically every known type of Standard road and pavement will be represented in tlie different sections. In addition to the industrial exhibitions of road machinery and road material, and accessories connected with road and street building, several states will present exhibits which will portray their methods of accomplishments, and a number, of universities and colleges will present the exhibits which they have assembled to aid in the instruction of their classes in highway engineering. In the entire exhibition every feature is intended to supply information concerrtjng the best and most economical “construction of roads and streets-for the benefit of those who build them and those who pay for them. The fifth American good roads congress, which is also the feveventh annual convention of the American Road Builders’ association and the sixth annual good roads show, will be held at the international amphitheatre, Chicago, Dec. 14 to 18, inclusive. The program, now being arranged, will include technical papers arid discussions concerning practically every phase of road and street construction and maintenance, which will be presented by the most eminent authorities on those subjects. The purpose of the congress and show is to comhlqe ip one aggregation all modern intelligence on the subjects of the organization, construction and maintenance of stmts and highways, to the end that the best results shall be achieved'for the public funds expended. The American Road Builders’ association claims that to its membership, *which includes practically all state highway officials and hundreds of city and county engineers and others, the remarkable development in road building methods during the past half dozen years has been almost entirely due to the study and Experimentation of its members, and the publicity given to the successes and failures at the annual conventions of the association, establish in the hi&hest senee the usefulness of the organization to the great tax-paying public, and the value of its conventions to the public’s road building representatives.

AN APPEAL

October 12, 1914. To the Republicans of Indiana: The country needs today as sh« never needed before, a reunited, militant, victorious republican party. What the country needs it is the duty of every man to give, regardlass of personal influences, past party affiliations, anger, pique, resentment, ambition or sacrifice. To fully realize the immeasurable present need for the success of the republican party we need but look about us, analyze our own situation, or ask any wage earner, manufacturer, fanner—any man hi any section or in any walk of life. To the republican party now, as in the past, the country will turn for deliverance. To make the victory certain it is onr duty to wage a t vigorous campaign. To do this, as everyone knows, requires a certain amount of expense, which, by reason of the size of the state, is necessarily large. This is especially true for the balance of the campaign, by reason of the heavy expense of our speakers, meetings and postage. To provide the money for the necessary expense we have to depend solely upon voluntary contributions from individuals interested in the success Of the party and the consequent prosperity of the nation and good government of the state. To meet these financial requirements we appeal to all republicans, to all who are opposed to present conditions in state and nation, and we ask that they send to Frank D. Stalnaker, President of the Indiana National Bank, Indianapolis, and Treasurer of the Republican State Committee, such amounts as they can spare, assuring all contributors that even the smallest sum'will be welcomed most heartily—Republican State Central Committee.
