McAdoo is neither an active nor a receptive candidate for the presidency. but if the democratic nominawere forced on him. he “could not, of course, very well refuse a call for public service.” McAdoo had so informed him. Angus W. McLean, director of the war finance corporation and a North Carolina democratic leader, stated today before the senate committee investigating preconvention presidential campaign expenditures and contributions. McLean declared he had been unsuccessful in trying to persuade McAdoo to formally declare himself a candidate or to allow his friends to boost him as a candidate. McLean said he thought sentiment In North Carolina was “for McAdoo." Louis .T. Lang, a reporter for the New York American, was asked about a published report that Bernard M. Baruch and four others raised a fund of $6.000.000 in behalf of W. G. McAdoo's candidacy.

Chadbourne of New York, also laid a plan for raising funds before the executive committee at Atlantic City, Lang said. "An\there McAdoo headquarters in New York?” asked Senator Kenyon. *:'Daniel Roper has a. suite in a hotel there, where a good many democratic politicians call," said Lang. “It is not officially known as McAdoo headquarters.” •

"He told m° he was not a candidate, active or -“ceptive. and if any of his friends 8 ! d his name In any state primary he wo-;H have it withdrawn. “ r {e slid he was not coing to do anything to accelerate - any movement to name him as a candidate. *;I sske.l him what he would do if his fr:erds r.--'s-cd upon nominating him and he : it, of course he could not refuse a ca'l to public service. - ’ TBLI.W OF MF.rTING WITH BARI OH. McLean told of meeting Baruch. “Wnrun are you for?" Baru-h asked him. McLean continued. “’Baruch told me.he had heard a number of MoAdoo's friends were disgusted because he would not permit to do anything for him and I suggested we vi&ji to tase the bull by the horns and for him anyway, without his knowledge.” “Where do the McAdoo people meet when they want to talk over the campaign" Senator Kenyon asked. “I don't know that they meet anywhere,” McLean answered. “Don’t you know there are McAdoo headquarters at the Hotel Pennsylvania at New York?” “No.” “Have you not been recognized as the southern manager of the McAdoo campaign "Absolutely not.” ‘What has been done in the south to boom McAdoo as a candidate?" “I know Mr. McAdoo has prohibited (Continued on Page Eleven.)

WITH GOODRICH A STOCKHOLDER UTILITIES GAIN He’s Not in Car Company Here and Tax Basis Is 3 Million Above Rate Figures. SHOWN BY COMPARISON Through the manipulation of the valuations made by the state tax board and the public service commission, both of which are subservient to the slightest wishes of Gov. James P. Goodrich, who appoints their members, the people of Indianapolis who patronize Street cars are paying an unjust proportion of taxes. And Indianapolis street car patrons are also suffering from a lack of service directly attributable to a compulsory diversion of revenue provided by these patrons which might otherwise be devoted to the purchase of new street cars. The proof of these statements lies In file comparisons of valuations fixed by the state tax board and Valuations either fixed or ‘‘tentatively’’ accepted by the public service commission. For exainpie, the public service/commission in its last rate order To the Indianapolis Street Railway Company declared that the company was entitled to a revenue that would permit It to earn a reasonable return on between $16,000,000 and $14,000,000 valuation. The commission did not definitely fix the valuation, although the public utility law provided years ago that it should value all utilities for rate-making purposes. TAXED ON VALUATION TOTALLING *1f>,05n.3?0. The state tax board recently completed a valuation of this same company and fixed th>* valuation for taxing purpose* of property, not otherwise taxed, at $16,300,570. This latter sum Is in addition to a valuation for taxing purposes fixed by Marlon county at $2,700,000. Therefore, as the valuations for taxing purpose* stand today, the Indianapolis Street Railway Company must pay taxes on a valuation 0f~519,035.570, although the highest valuation considered hv the pub ile service commission In the fixing of rates is $16,000,000. In other words, the property of the street railway company is worth $19,055,. 570 when a Goodrich board prepares to tax it and worth only $10,000.0**) when a Goodrich board sits to determine on what valuation It shall be permitted to earn a reasonable return. The taxes on this shrinkage of $3,055,570 Is the sum that street car patrons are contributing because this corporation is not getting a ‘‘square deal" from one or the other of the Goodrich boards. AND HERE'S ANSWER TO READER S QUESTION. .Times P. Goodrich, governor of Indiana, does rot boast of any personal Interest in the Indianapolis Street Railway Company He does, however, admit an interest in the Washington Light, Heat and Power Company, which operates utilities In Washington, Ind. This company has frequently been before the public *,.rrii-p commission -wdh pies* for inerea *ed rate* and It is not of record that the Goodrich commission ever refused to hear it* petition ifomo time ago the commission fixed a valuation for rate making purposes on this company 0 f $360.5(10. At the same time the valuation for taxes ss fixed by the Good rich tax board was $165,860 and the local county assessment was $117,340, making a total of $283,200. Therefore, the Washington company enjoys the distinction of being allowed to earn a reasonable return on $77,300 more than the total for which it is assessed for taxation.

DAZZLE PUBLIC WITH PICTURES OF CANDIDATES Campaign Managers in Chicago Engage in Great Political Advertising Stunt. By HAROLD D. JACOBS. United Press Staff Correspondent. CHICAGO, May 28.—The greatest political advertising campaign In the history of the country is In full swing here. Organizations representing all the principal candidates for the republican presidential nomination are employing every established legitimate method—and a few brand new ones—to ‘'sell'’ tboir men to the public, and the national ' delegates. Michigan avenue, long world famous for its “automobile row." has now blossomed out with a "presidential row." This starts at the Blarkstone hotel, where Gov. Frank O. Lowden has personal quartera. and runs northward, taking in the Congress and Auditorium hotels. Whole floors of the two latter hosteieries have been taken over by the i various headquarters. COST OF CAMPAIGNING HAS GONE UP, TOO. Os course, this all costs money—and the senatorial investigation of campaign expenditures at Washington forms one ;of the principal topics of conversation here—but as one veteran politician put It today: "The cost of campaigning has gone up the same as everything else." The candidates' campaign headquarters continued to grow one to- two rooms at a time as the time for convention approaches, and they have elbowed the Infinitesimal quarters of the republican national committee in the congress to *Pch an extent that the party offi iais must find anew bailiwick. Probibiy the most spectacular head' quartet* Is that of Senator Hiram Johnson's organization New dazalinc yhite partitions have been built In on the second floor of the Audi- : tnrlntn, and that whole portion of the hotel hung with elaborate colored pictures of the senator In striking postures. Senator Warren G. Harding has the smallest space. The suite has been furnished more with an eve to the comfort of visitors than anything eise and is the only one resembling a real old-fashioned political hangout. HOOVER PICTUREB QN ALL SIDES. Lowden. Mai Gen Wood and Herbert Hoover are about on par as regards floor space. The Hoover workmen, however, have gone In strongest for posters. A person oah hardly turn about anywhere in Chicago without starihg into ; the beaming countenance of the former food administrator. .striking a jarring note in all this republican atmosphere are two democratic headquarters, those of Attorney General A. Mitchell Palmer aud Gov. Edward 1. Edwards. The real thing In advertising will be trotted out when the convention gets under way. In this phase the Wood people count on having ail their rivals badly handicapped. Among those who will lead the demonstration for the genera! will be former rough riders in uniform, cowboys in picturesque costumes and graduates of the I*l.3ttsburg training iainp.
