Special to the India napolis Journal. TERHK HAUTE. Ind.. April CO.-The Rev. Worth Tippy, of Centenary Methodist Churcn, the largest congregation in the Northwest Indiana Conference, is advocating municipal ownership and monopoly of saloons. Mr. Tippy, while a comparatively young man, is looked upon as a conservative thinker. He believes the countryhas come to a place In which the ilnal solution of the temperance problem is in sUht. He says that in the seventy years' experimenting with the traffic in the United States we have learned that "a great many people will have liquor and cannot be prevented from getting it." Future temperance retcm must take account of this fact and, pending the slow process of educational and physical reform that will make a total abstinence possible, must provide carefully safeguarded methods by which people may secure pure liquor for personal consumption. To this end he advocates municipal ownership and municipal control, either through a department of city government by a carefully selected committee of temperance people of pre--emlnent character and lntegritv. Revenue gained thereby he would devote to city improvements and beautifying and the education and entertainment of the lower classes. BIG .M:W INDISTIIY.

A QUESTION OF INCOMES. A Million Dollarn Menus Leu Titan It DIel Ten Yearn Ago. V. G. Nicholas, in New York Telegraph. A rich man complained to me to-day that J1.000.000" did not go as far to-day as half the amount elid ten and tiften years ago. "And this leads me to comment on a point that seems to have almost escaped popular attention," he continued, "although the phenomenon tells the story of a remarkable silent revolution which has been goinp on in the United States for many years. The volume of money of the commercial countries is being inflated at the rate of $3?0,Ono.COq a year in gold and at least as large an amount of paper, mak ing an annual inflation of , JfM.OOO.OX) at the I present rate of Increase. The pace Is getetlna' fnstrr. however, and n the tntnl amount enlarges the purehi?lng power 'decreases in corresponding ratio. "The practical effect of this is seen for one thing in the steady fall of the Interest rates. A few years ago the man with $100.000 had an income of $.om a year. The $100,000 r.ow produces only $3.000 a year. For many years my house (the cost of living) has amounted to $00,00) a year. I had more than $1.000,00.) and lived within my Income. 1 have not been in active business, .yet my investments have increaseel in value about .7 per cent. That increase, large os it seems to be, has not been sufficient to keep my income up to the old stamlarel. Consequently, while I am apparently 50 per cent, better off than I was fifteen years ago, I am In reality poorer, for I cannot buy as much with the income as I could at the beginning of the period I mention. 'l am a type ef tens of thousands of individuals anel families who axe living or trying to live on the income of Invested capital, and 1 may say I represent in my own case thousanels of millions of dollars. 1 am not complaining, for I can see the fundamental justice of putting the burden of the shrinkage on the people who live on the sweat of the brows of ethers, but I cannot help being impressed with the idea tha.t much of the wonderful increase in the Nation's wealth we hear about and the tidal wave of prosperity are lictltlous, anel that the movement is little more than a shifting ef investments to meet new conditions Incident to the tremendous currency inflation in progress. "The people who are benefiting most hy the change are the wage workers and men anel women with fixed salaries. So long as their pay is not reuluceel they are direct beneficiaries by the process. They are as a matter of fact, undergoing a steady aelvance in wages. Their personal capitalization is going up while the earning power of capital is suffering shrinkage. This would not be the case if the cot of living were incrti:dng in pace with the Inflation in the volume eif business, as Is usually the way. Actually, however. Hour, sugar, meats, clothing and a majority of the things that enter into universal consumption are as low if not lower than they were befetre the inflation began to be reflected In cheapening interest. This is due primarily te the lecreaseel general cost of production. "To Illustrate the proposition I have been endeavoring to explain, a wage earner can buy as much with his $1,000 a year as he could ten or fifteen years ago, while the man who pays him is obllgVel to employ elouble the capital he did formerly. His position has. therefore, visibly and in fact improved. This state of facts may conflict with reeeignized principles of political economy, as laid town by the authorities, but they are facts nevertheless. As such they are worth considering." In this connection It might be well to note the farmers and owners of agricultural lands in the Kast have been forced to meet heavy lemses in the value of their possessions, while the like class In the West has witnessed a great increase in the value of their real estate. I have heard it said that the shrinkage in land valuation east of the Ohio lin lue to the reduction In freight rates, would fully offset the gain In the country west of that degree of longitude. Ly reason of the low rates of transportation the products of the West have been brought Into close competition with those ef the East. Coincidental' with this revolution land in the Cast formerly worth $1 per acre has fallen to $) and $70. In New England vast areas of lean land have suffere'd a still greater reduction In selling value. I am drawing no conclusions or deductions from these conditions, but am merely parsing along a collection of facts as they were presented to me. leaving for wiser heads and to people with time on their hands the labor of finding -the moral and -oiiig the deep sounding. , HOW TIIH TKIST LHADCIl WORKS. He Suggests, but Ioe t Interfere wltb IUh Subordinate. Leslie's Popular Monthly. There is a mistaken Idea that the men who direct the great corporations are continually engaged In a vast amount of tietall business. This Is not the case. Moelern business has made the position of the trust leader one requiring not only brains, but brains of the highest order. It may ie that the president of a trust eloes not perform an official act once a elay. It may be that his work is confined to initialing th-j papers that his subordinate heads er departments submit to him, but the fact remains that he Is still the brains of the concern, and that if he signs papers without knowing their contents he eloes so because he knows thoroughly the men who submit them. It has been said with truth that th most sue-cessful men in thfse businesses are theise who do nothing when things are going smoothly and who do everything when they are going 111. Instead of taking aw -y from the freedom ef action of tho men who direct these concerns, modern conditions have added to their responsibility. The whole system cf trust organization depends upon making each man responsible for the work which he ellrects.' So long as he achieves satisfactory results be is not interfered with. It I said, for example, that the president o:' the Standard Oil Company never issued a positive order to his subordinates. Whether it is a matter ef giving employment to a workman er carrying out a deal with a government, be merely suggests. If the subordinate prefers to substitute his own judgment in the mutter he Is permitted to o so. but he Is held strictly re-h-penslble for the consequences. tl en nl I fax!llneNM miel Art.
