A Message to To Our Depositors: • Interest Was Credited To Savings Accounts November 1 Your savings account is one investment in which there is no chance for disappointment Every six months, on May 1 and November 1, your deposits are credited with interest earned. Bring in your bank book any time now for entry of November 1 interest and for comparison with our books. The crediting of interest in their bank books reminds many savers of the earning power of money and inspires anew the determination to add to their savings accounts regularly. In a spirit of helpfulness we suggest that the amount of the deposit is unimportant. One dollar every pay-day usually makes a more successful saver than a larger deposit irregularly. This is a particularly opportune time to add to your savings account because deposits made on or before November 10 will caru interest from November L We are always willing to collect without charge funds on deposit elsewhere which you may wish to transfer to your account here. If you have progressed in your saving to the point of desiring interest-bearing securities we shah be glad to tell you about two that we particularly recommend. jflettljer Ratings ant) Crust Company Northwest Comer Market and Pennsylvania Street*.

GARVIN SAYS ALL WILL LOOK ALIKE TO HIM Democratic Candidate for City Judge Does Not Favor ‘Elite’ Sessions. ONE LAW TO APPLY The proposal of his Republican opponent, Delbert O. Wilmeth, to set aside certain days upon which the “more elite" of the city will be tried for traffic violations and other minor offenses was attacked by Thomas E. Garvin, Democratic nominee for city Judge, as an undesirable example of class distinction in speeches today. •This is, or should be, an age of law and order,” said Mr. Garvin. "One great Jurist said this Is a country of law composed of law and not men. I could not, or would not, undertake to take Issue with him upon that subject for the Impression he meant to convey was that no particular man should be nble to stand before the bar of Justice with any greater advantage or possessed of any more special privilege than his neighbor, be | he poor or rich. But there is another angle, an additional viewpoint we may take of this meaning of special privilege and that Is the special privilege of a Criminal Court to consider in his own mii.d and weigh In his own henrt the particular merit of the particular individual who stands on trial before him. That is one of the great advantages of the city court. But cItII causes which are not tried within the Jurisdiction of the city court are of a different nature. CITY JUDGE DEALS WITH CRIME. "A person's property rights depend altogether upon the technicality of tne I law hut In criminal cases, and that Is what Is the chief and ’one concern of the city Judge, the Jurisdiction and Govern- j merit thereof depends entirely—to reverse the famous saying of the famous Jurist , —npon man and not law. The law defines the crime—well and good—but tile man Is guilty or not guilty. That de- J ponds entirely upon the judgement of tne city Judge. In the administration then of Justice In the so-called police court ihe Judge has an opportunity to temper his decisions with mercy and common sense, to be fair to one and to all, to do that which Is so Infrequently done nowadays, to conform strictly to the Con- j stltutlon and hold the prisoner at the bar Innocent until he has been proved guilty. My opponent, Mr. Wilmeth, has snld that he will set certain days apart whereby the more elite of the city who have violated the laws of the State In which they live may be —should I say entertained-—there apart from the socalled nnderdoga who must stand In line ar.d wait their turn for conviction. 1 am opposed to this sort of a classification of offenders. OFFENSES DIFFER. •‘What I do favor Is the classification, as It m*y be o termed, of crime There Is. of course, the petty offense of traffic violator* and again the horrible outrage of murder. Whether he be a rich man driving costly limonelne or a poor riti- j zen collecting rubbish from the streets. If either of them violate the ordinances regulating traffic they both come tinder the class of those minor offfnd“rs and’ should both be punished accordingly, i both meet In the same court and on the ! same day. The person, however, gu illy | of murder or manslaughter or assault j and battery with Intent to kill, be he the j son of a millionaire or the son of a hodcarrier, each would he guilty of the same : offense If so proved In open court wherein they conld both meet and whHn partiality wonld be rendered to neither There are. of course, vile offenders of the law. but none so low ss to lose hts or her rights ns a cl*l*n and it Is the business and dnty of the State and its off!- j cera elected to protect those rights—tht j accused ns well ns the pnhllc.” Mr Garvin said that he believes the 1 police should ferret out and bring to Justice violators of the law without re- j yard to Jhe section of th city to which I the offenders reside When they have j been proved guilty beyond a reasonable j doubt “sentence should be Imposed without any regard to the section of In- j d’smriolis the prisoner may call his i home.” LAW MUST E SAME. Os a certainty I believe that a gentleman with good clothes who by some mistake and no determined error permits his automobile to park overtime within a given area or some such break In the reg- , illations of the traffic, I say I believe l that such a gentleman shonld not be permanently disabled or dishonored because of It, but 1 Just as strongly believe that the ‘poor devil’ who steps on the acceie- 1

The Republican nominee for mayor says In one section of the cny one thing and another section of the city another thing. This Is along the same line I have talked In connection with the city judgeship. I believe that the merits of the case shonld stand upon the case and not the locality. If a man Is guilty of treason, treason is the crime and Its penalty should be Inflicted without relation to geographic position. SAYS SAME ALWAYS. "Mr. Ralston *ays and beloves that while the north side should be treated fairly south Indianapolis should be given equal consideration in each and every problem that concerns him. Mr. Shank saya to the colored people. I am for you; to the north sidor, I am for you. and to the south and west slders, I am for you only. Mr. Ralston is for all and being for all promises to put the south side back Into existence on the map from which It was willfully cut under Republican administration. "It Is amusing the charge so frequently heard that the poor people want some special attention, some sinister Influence and privilege behind them, working for them. What the people want, be they rich or poor. Is equality and fair play. That, I believe. Is what the people of Indianapolis want and that is what they are going to j.et because the people always get what ‘hey will, nnd the people of Indlanapo’.li are the kind of folk who will elect Mr. Boyd M. Ralston and his ticket next Tuesday at the polls.'' FAMOUS GROUP BOARDS BIG LINER Lloyd George Missing From Number. LONDON, Nov. 6,—The “afar" passenger—Lloyd George—was absent when the Cunard Uner Aqultsnla sailed for New York today. There wa* a distinguished group on board.

500 MILES OF NEW RAILROAD NOW PROJECTED j Improvements of Present System to Amount to $100,000,000. ; PLAN NEW TERMINALS Special to Indiana Dally Times and Philadelpnla Public Ledger. WASHINGTON, Nov. s.—Nearly SIOO,000,000 worth of new construction by railroads has been begun and projected In the past fifteeen months, It Is shown in applications to the Interstate Commerce Commission. This means construction of new lines and additions to existing ones. It also Includes two big terminal building programs, one af Cleveland and the other at Chicago. The Interstate Commerce Commission til s thus give a clear Indication that railroad managers and directors are optimistic concerning the business outlook. Extending lines and Lullding new lines Into untouched territory, they are reaching out for business of the next year or two. The new lines planned and under construction will carry agricultural productions and general manufactured commodities. Many extensions to tap coal country are being laid down. MUST FIRST GET CERTIFICATE. The data showing the projected building are included In those files of the commission dealing with certificates of public convenience and necessity. Under the transportation .law no road may undertake the building of anew line without first satisfying the commission of its necessity. With the application, the bonding carrier must submit a schedule showing the length of the proposed new line, lt estimated gross and net revenue and a description of tonnage expected. When the commission becomes sstlsfled the new line Is needed, It Issues authority to the road to proceed under what Is termed a ‘'certificate of public convenience ana ! necessity.” The transportation law became effective In June 1920. Since that time, the commission has Issued twenty-three certificates. Six applications for certificates now are pending. 600 MILES CALLED FOR. The certificates Issued call for th* construction of nearly 600 miles of new lines. Some are very short, being only five miles In length. Others include 100 miles of new trackage. In general, the shorter lines are most important, since they usually represent connections between main lines to speed up the handling of tounage. It Is estimated the new lines will pay al the rate of 10 per cent In the fourth or fifth year. Millions worth of equipment will be needed when the new lines aud extensions are completed.—Copyright, 1921, by Public Ledger Company.
FAVORS LONGER CONGRESS TERM Representative Kline, Pennsylvania, Would Make It Four Years. Special to Indiana Dally Times and Philadelphia Public Ledger. WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 6.—Members of the House of Representatives should not be compelled to worry about an election every two years, according to Representative Kline of Pennsylvania, who proposed In a resolution ni rod need yesterday to ameud the Constitution to extend the period of a term to font years. Recurrence of an election every two years keeps the members of the House too busy preparing to be re-elected, Mr. Kline, who Is serving Ills first terra, said. It occupies much of their energy which in his opinion, would otherwise bo spent In performing their duties as Representatives. Another advantage in such an amendment, according to Mr. Kline, is "that the President would then be reasonably assured of having Congress In narmony with him. politically, at least. "Thus, he Mild, would be avoided a deadlock such ns occurred during the last admin’srrailcu with opposite parties In control of' the two branches of Congress The resolution was referred to the Com uit tee on Flection q£ President, V.c# President and members of Congress of which Mr. Kline Is a member It proposes the amendment shall not take effect uni 11 1924.
