SUIT CHARGES REGISTRA TION FRA UD

OPERATORS TOLD TO PRODUCE COAL FOR STATE NEEDS Prices Heretofore Fixed Stand in New Order Issued by Special Fuel and Food Board, RULING AFFECTS 225 COMPANIES Coal operators today were ordered by the Indiana special coal and food commission to produce 1,600,000 tons of coal a month for Indiana consumption at the prices heretofore ordered by the commission. The commission in their order specifies the companies, the amount of tonnage they shall produce each week and orders them to make a tonnage and sales report to the commission on Saturday of each week. Coal so ordered is for domestic use. The order is designed to prevent the shipment outside of Indiana of coal needed in this state. Approximately 225 coal operating companies are affected bj* the order.

In a statement accompanying the order Jesse E/ Eschbach, chairman of the commission, points out his authority In the coal control law for issuing this drastic order. Mr. Eschbach says: The commission fixed the prices for coal Rt all the mines in Indiana and not one operator has appealed to the courts. Since the order fixing the price of coal at the mines was made the operators generally throughout the State of Indiana have had better running time than for many months preceding, and the prices will yield every one of them at lenßt a fair profit. Wa had hope<. that all of the operators would make their own distributions and would be entirely fair with the Indiana public and give to Indiana the share of their coal which Indiana normally takes and to which It Is fairly entitled. Some operators have done this and have cooperated with the commission, but it has developed that many of the operators have seen fit to withhold their coal from the Indiana market, and it became necessary for the commission to take cognizance of this fact and act as best l* can to remedy the situation Under the Special Coal and Food Commission act, there are two provisions which we have considered in this connection. Section 9 of the act gives the commission the power to make it its duty to require all operators in Indiana to produce and sell, or offer for sale. In Indiana, a sufficient quantity of coal to •upply domestic demands, and permits the commission to order each operator to offer for sale In Indiana a fair proporor t? 1 * 1 amount necessary to •upply domestic demands. ot ttle act Provides that in .>, em !;T£ ency ' the commission may oirr/i th r. dl * r .^ ent operators to deliver “ Quantities of coal to certain named users of coal In the State. r f n'r u Pon ail operators to offer f®** ! " Indiana a certain tonnage thf se€lDe, l more fair to the commission tnan an order upon certain operators to •uppiy certain named consumers and the new order just issued by the commlggion u bated upon section 0. Under order No. 8, just issned, every operator in the State is required to mine enough roal over and above his Inter state and railroad requirements to permit him to sell, or offer for sale in this State, a certain specified number of ton* which we have endeavored to fix upon a fair basis as between the different operators. It is now up to the retailers and other consumers of coal to get their orders into the operators' hands so that when the operators offer for sale in this State the coal specified there will be buyers for it. In order to avoid confusion and the placing of too many orders with some operators and too few with others, the commission has suggested to the different retailers the operators with whom they should at once place orders for coal, and we have endeavored to arrange these sug- § cations in such manner as to send orers to all mines In proportion to the amounts which we have required they offer for sale in Indiana. We have taken Into consideration the distances all coal must be shipped and have tried to place the orders from the most distant consumers snd retailers with the group on mines which carry the lowest cost at the mines, thus the higher freight rates will be attached to the cheaper coal and make all coal bear an average cost at Its point of deeltnation. We believe the increased freight rates will result in a very marked increase in the consumption of Indiana coal within the State of Indiana, so we have suggested to each retailer who has had business connections and purchased coal of Indiana operators in the past that he at once renew those relations, and we believe many new business connections between retailers and operators will be established which will continue permanently Into the future and give our operators increased business within our own State. We are urging retailers everywhere to increase the market for Indiana coal in their communities and in this movement we hope to aid in every way possible. Under the law, operators refusing to offer for sale in Indiana coal required, will have their licenses revoked unless, after notice and hearing, they can show adequate grounds for their failure. If we find It necessary to revoke the license of any operator, in Justice to Indiana consumers we will be obliged to • take every step necessary and exhaust the powers of the State to see tnst such operator discontinues business, but at the same time will attempt to see that such mine continues operation under receivership or otherwise and the coal from such mine made available to the people of Indiana. We still hope that no emergency will arise which will make it necessary for the commission to issue orders under section 20 of the act for any operator to supply any named consumer of coal. The commission and consumers have been patient, we have pleaded for friendly cooperation and we still plead for such, but tbeJSpecial Coal and Food Commission act is the law of the State of Indiana and a great State must and will see that Its laws are obeyed. There is no reason why a large part of one class of our citizens may wilfully disobey the taw of the land, while all others must yield strict obedience theerto. I.E NOIR MINE NAMED IN ORDER. The ve Notr Coal Compnny, in which Governor Goodrich's son is interested, was ordered by the commission, of wMcb he is a member, to produce and offer for sale not less than 820 tons per week. The amounts of coal ordered to be produced by the commission range from (Continued on Page Two.)

League World Document , Not Written by One Man or One Nation , Cox Shows

Special Dispatch to The Times. NEW YORK* Oct. 23.—Tbat at least 150 earnest minds made their impression upon the covenant of the League of Nations was the point emphasized by Governor Cox today in scotching falsehoods started by Republican leaders that the league Is a "British league,” or that it Is a “Wilson League.” The Cox statement was made In compliance with a request from the St. Louis Post Dispatch for a reply to criticisms in other papers and was sent en route from Bridgeport, Conn. The Post-Dispatch gave permission for its simultaneous publication here. Governor Cox makes clear that the covenant of the League of Nations is, in part, the (product of committees appointed by the French, Italian and British governments, of proposals by General Hmut and William Howard Taft, A. Lawrence Lowell, Oscar Strauss, Theodore Mauberg, Klihu Root and other Americans in public life. His message to the Post-Dispatch follows: For any person or newspaper to-dis-cover that contradiction between President Wilson's explanation of the origin of the league covenant, as given to the

Senators at the White House in August, 1919, and the explanation I give in all my addresses, is to discover what doesn’t exist.\ There js no contradiction whatever. A great French scientist once warned his students to be on their guard or they might find what they were looking for. The same admonishment is even more pertinent in political controversy. FALSEHOODS SCATTERED LIKE AUTUMN LEAVES. During this campaign, in fact, ever since the conspiracy to defeat tbo treaty wag beguu in the United States Senate, falsehoods have been scattered like autumn leavea. Perhaps never has there been a more brazen or persistent falsehood than the statement that the league is first, "a British league," and Mien, in the same breath, the contradictory statement that it is n "Wilson league.” These tiro assertions are contradictory. Both can not be true. I have solved the riddle by clearly stating that the league is a world league, and that the main idea, as well as the final form and phrasing, is the work of many mind*. I have said over and over again that during the years of the war, while we were serving other countries by fighting (Continued on rage Four.)

COUNTY GRAFT IS EXPOSED IN PARTY BOOKLET Voters Are Told Why They Pay Out Big Sums for Taxes. FACTS TERSELY TOLD Under the caption, “Marion County Graft." the Democratic County committee and the Democratic candidates of Marlon County • have Issued a booklet telling Marlon County voters "why your taxes are too high and growing higher.” The booklet is a parttal, but terrific, indictment of the graft and malfeasance in office of the Republican administration. Its introduction says: In presenting for your consideration this compilation of facts concerning the graft, malfeasance and inefficiency that has existed during the present Republican administration, a sincere effort has been made to present nothing tbat is not a part of the records of Marion County, tbo. United State# District Court or the records of the State of Indiana. As the records of each of these institutions are in the custody of Republicans and none other thaif Republlcanc are quoted in the booklet. It might well be termed a compile- \ tlon of the opinions of Republicans concerning a Republican administration. GOODRICH TAX M k.NEUVERS, The first chapter of the booklet Is de- ] r ®ted to taxes and reads as follows: The Republican Legislature passed what is now known as the Goodrich tax law. Under this law the board of taa commissioners was created and was appointed by Governor Goodrich. In 1919 the township assessors assessed all property under oath at Its true easy value and reported these valuations to the tax board, i The Htste tax board arbitrarily, by horizontal increase raised the assessment in most of the townships in the State all the way from 15 to 60 per j cent. Suit wfts brought in Marlon County by an organization of Marlon County farmers to set aside the horizontal Increase in this county, and It was, held Invalid. The case was appealed to the Supreme Court by the State tax board | and the Supreme Court also held the I horiiontal Increase Illegal. This threw the tax law on the scrap heap. There was no money to run the public institutions and it beentns necessary to call a special session of the Legislature remedy the slt- ! nation. Governor Goodrich In his message j to his "rubber stamp" Legislature, j advised them to legalize the action of the State board of tax commissionern, which the Supreme Court had declared illegal. This was done, and the Republican candidates now stand for repudiation of our Supreme Court decision. FARMERS WIN IN COURTS. The farmers of Marion County won a victory over the State board of tax commissioners and had their horizontal increase declared illegal, but the new tax law puts tbo State tax board back In the saddle and It has restored the horizontal increases In Marion County, In spite of the fact tbat property In the townships affected Is assessed for more than if will sell for. When you paid your first half of the 1919 taxes this aprtng the treasurer stamped upon your receipt that if the horizontal Increase was de(Continued on Page Four.) $699,071 SPENT BY DEMOCRATS Statement Puts Receipts at $677,934.

INDIANA G.O.P. LOSES OUT AS VOTING NEARS League, IVFCray and County Graft Turn Tide to Democrats. The Democrats of Indiana will enter the last week of this campaign with better prospects of carrying the State than they hare had at this period before an election In the last twelve years. Their chances of success depend on two things: 1. Ability to maintain the undoubted trend toward their national and State ticket throughout the State. 2. Ability to retain the lead which they have now gained in Marlon County. The Republicans are secretly and sadly admitting that instead of the boasted 20,000 plurality which they expected to get tn Marlon County they are more than likely to meet defeat throughout \he city of Indianapolis. From over the State com reports that the Republican ticket will not gather to itself sufficient of a Jead to carry the State without a substantial majority In Marlon County. Three things have contributed to the change of sentiment in the campaign: 1. Tire collapse of the Republican assault on the League of Nations. 2. The expose of Warren T. McCray in which he is shown to be a “board of trade" rather than a farm candidate. 8. The wave of revulsion to the policies of lax law enforcement, extravagance and incompetency in the affairs of Marion County. Throughout Indiana the Republican speakers are now trying hard to dodge the League of Nations issue, which they insisted on making the paramount question of the campaign.
