AMERICAN CLUB HEARS RALSTON Candidate for f;ayor Would Have City Officials Help Get Factories Located Here. Active interest of city officials of Indianapolis in assisting civic organizations to induce factories and other nrtustres to locate here, was advocated by B. Jl. Ralston, Democratic candidate for mayor, at* the luncheon of the American Club, held at the Lincoln today. “Our city needs more factories,” Mr. Ralston said. “Each civic body should coopeiate with some constituted heart maintained for that purpose. Official Indianapolis should give its earnest support and lend Its official Influence toward inducing factories and other industries to locate in our midst.” Mr. Ralston also made a 9trong plea for economy in the management of city affairs with especial reference to the letting of public contracts. ’To remove the wrongs and advance the right in Indianapolis may be a task difficult bo perform, but a stnmg effort on this line should be earnestly attempted at this time.” he said. “Wasteful extravagance never should bo tolerated.

Dr. Mathias Erzberger, known as the "power behind the Wlrth Government,” called it a “peace without hatred."

I believe, is President Harding's greatest mission, I believe that the export trade will he materially assisted. After liquidation of German property in !

NEW REROUTING PLAN CALLS FOR HEAVY OUTLAY (Continued From Page One.) ing routed through South, Illinois and f-Gorgla streets and Capitol avenue. Instead of through Delaware and Ohio streets, in accordance with the council's recent rerouting order. Mr. Henry said that It is impossible to change the trolley platforms on the cars so they may pass under the elevated tracks at the Union Station The committee permitted him to continue to use the old route while an electrical engineer from the public service commission investigates his defense. Mr. Henry, it wag said, insisted that he did not want to see his interurbans use the new route because he believes they will lose passengers they now pick up in Ohio street. Mr. Schmidt said he replied to this with a statement that “the town pump is going to be removed." The councilman believes that more pasengers will be picked up by the Interurbans in Illinois street than In Ohio because the transient hotel district, as well as the Union Station, Is located In the former. NOW MUST WAIT FOR COMPANY TO GET FUNDS. Aside from working out details of the new scheme the council committee has little more it can do toward relieving downtown congestion until the Street Railway Company can find money with which to put in the necessary special track work, Mr Schmidt said again. The company is understood to contend that there is no chance for it to get in better financial condition until the city relieves It of burdens such ns paving between Us tracks and the city council passes an ordinance which would curtail jitney bus competition. The council, on the other hand, is not disposed to do anything for the Street Car Company until it does something for the city, according to Mr. Schmidt. Meanwhile Corporation Counsel Samuel Ashby Is preparing the ordinance which will put the Street Railway Company under all the regulations exercised by the city before the eotnpaift- surrendered its franchise early in June. The company refused last week to negotiate a contract giving the city these rights. 4 Suicides in Day ST. LOUIS.

OIL TAXES HURT OBREGON RULE Standard Oil and Other Interests Stop Exportations, Also Revenues. WASHINGTON, July 5. —Another "crisis” In Mexico’s internal affairs, with the possibility that President Obregon may find himself seriously menaced from within, may be expected to develop before long, according to predictions made today by Washington representatives of the oil Interests in Mexico. Being in need of more funds a short time ago, President Obregon increased the export duty on oil some 25 per cent and this, according to the oil men, Is likely to prove a boomerang. The Standard Oil Compnny, with vast Interests throughout Mexico, promptly withdrew its tankers from service and stopped, for the time being, at least, the exportation of Mexican oil. Other big Interests cut down exnoriations. The result hos been that Obregon'g revenue has been seriously curtailed and the oil men who are keenly watching the situation freely predict that Obregon is going to have serious financial troubles in the very near future. Most of the Mexican government's revenue Is derived from the various kinds of taxes which are Imposed on the production and exportation of oil, which Is her chief product. r The oil representatives set up the ar- * gumeut that without oil exportations, Obregon will be without funds, and without funds he cannot survive the numerous enemies that are working against him within and without his own borders.
