PERHAPS it was Lieut. Shubert who prevented ail these highwaymen om becoming active several weeks ago! WE CAN HAVE a yacht race only when there is not sufficient breeze make the sport dangerous and sufficient to make it possible. HAVING INDULGED in almost every other kind of strike possible it is t surprising that certain miners should have to take their turn in an •-'t'aw strike." IT IS ALL RIGHT for Doc Morgan to juggle the site of that phantom rses’ home about as much as he pleases, but it is hoped that said home ecomes a reality some day. ip RALPH SPANN, deputy prosecutor in city court, requires a bathing suit as a prerequisite to “Investigations we suggest that Judge Pritchard let him wear one in court. THERE IS a police regulation that makes the mayor of Indianapolis the head of the police department In times of riot or calamity. Mayor .Tewett may have to don a uniform if the highwaymen continue to mistreat our policemen. WE’ ALSO UNDERSTAND the particular process of reasoning that < auses the News to use black-face type in recording the fact that Judg* Collins actually Ant a bootlegger to the penal farm and did not suspend the sentence —more than a few days. If! More than two weeks ago Judge Pritchard of the city court wrote a ltetter to Mayor Jewett suggesting that the license of a poolroom operated bv a negro be revoked because of the law violations of the operator. Tht* action was taken by Judge Pritchard because of an announcement made by Mayor Jewett more than two months ago to the effect that he would revoke licenses that Investigation showed were being abused. Mayor Jewett is not in the city and is not expected back until next Monday, hence it is fairly certain that another week will elapse before Judge Pritchard finds out whether he has accomplished anything by ap pealing to the mayor to exercise his authority. In the meanwhile Harry Yockey, who dances attendance on the mayor by reason of appointment to a soft berth in the city legal department, has investigated the case sufficiently to ascertain that the poolroom license was not issued to the poolroom operator who was convicted of gaming in the licensed poolroom. Here we have about all the various reasons why there is not better law enforcement in Indianapolis If the mayor were in the city the judge’s letter might receive prompt attention If it received prompt attention the license might be revoked—jt h a ,| been Issued to the roan convicted of gambling

Why Lose This Revenue?

The telephone company operating in Indianapolis has •h-ee thousand orders for telephones which it is unable to fill, according to figures published in Cleveland, which the local officials seem unwilling or unable to verify. This means that the company is unable to accept an increase of eight or nine thousand dollars a month in offered revenue. In a year this revenue would amount to approximately SIOO,OOO, which is 10 per cent on a million dollars. When the public service commission first began considering the disability of the street car company it laid great stress on the failure of the company to collect all the revenue offered It by the traveling public. Would it not now be well for the commission to make an investiga tion of the amount of revenue the telephone company might add under th present rates? It is perhaps injustice to the company to believe that it is deliberately n fusing service to would-be patrons until such time as It can collect more from them than at present, but the secrecy with which Its officials guard the number and kind of unfilled applications for service on hand is indicative of an unwillingness to have the subject considered And there is usually a joker hidden in any subject which the suave- 1 m-anagens of the telephone -unpany do not care to have brought to public attention.

Goodrich to Control Coal?

Citizens of Indiana who are interested in the improvement of the real . ituation In Indiana, and there is none who is not. might do well to give • onsideratiOn to the amendments r .ade to Gov. Goodrich's commission proposal with a view of determining just how much relief may be expected In event it becomes a law. The bill as originally introduced has now been amended in conferen r e •> as to r ake the .state heard of accounts the coal commission The state board of accounts is by law composed of the governor, the auditor rs state and the chief accountant who is appointed by the governor. Thus the conference committee has agreed to deliver over exceptional • mergency powers to a board consisting of the governor and his appointee and the auditor of state. v Ard this action has been taken in the face of open admissions before rbo sen; - e Gov. Goodrich that he is personally interested in the coal industry and members of.his family are also personally interested in the coal Industry. In other words, the conference committee of the house and senate has taken the coal commission bill in hand and so amended it that, whatever power * the commission may nave will be vested in one official who is admittedly interested as an operator and whose relation to the coal industry has been such as to bring about an investigation by federal authorities into his activity. Just why Gov. Goodrich should so suddenly become an advocate of state control of the coal industry after having in every ordinary way subscribed to doctrine directly opposed to state regulation of private business has been somewhat of a puzzle to Indlanians. Perhaps the answer to the puzzles lies in advance information as to where the power to control would eventually be placed.

But Bush Is Right!

Whatever methods Lieut. Gov. Bush may have adopted for the purpose of insuring to the public that this session of the legislature does not adjourn without depriving the tax board of control over tax-levies and bond Issues he is entitled to the-thanks c£ the commonwealth for his efforts. There is nothing that the people of Indiana want any more than to be permitted to levy their own taxes and to determine among themselves whether or not they issue bonds. This fact ought to be apparent to every politician in the republican party. It became apparent to Mr. Bush more thaD a year ago. Before the state convention it even dawned on Gov. Goodrich himself, and in a speech delivered last spring the governor declared himself in favor of such an amendment to the law. The republican state platform says: "We believe that the control of tax levies and bond issues should be restored to local taxing units in order that the right of self-determination and local self-government by the variousffcounties, townships and municipalities of the state may at all times be preserved.” Mr. Bush i3 now being subjected to considerable criticism because he appears to have exercised the power of his office to procure for the people of the state that which the republican platform clearly advocates and that for which the voters of both political parties are earnestly asking. Mr. Bush certainly has reason to realize by this time that no matter what lie may do he will never succeed in doing anything that meets wfch the unqualified approval of the republicans who denounced his ill-fated fcandidacy for governor, stole his platform and are now attempting to reaihhim out o£ the pa?Vy because he stands on the M atform It adopted in convention.
