Our esteemed evening contemporary, which was at the peak of its influence in 1913, says: The commission law was passed in 1913 for a clearly, defined purpose. The utilities of this State were a power in local politics. Through the use of money and other improper influence they were often controlling local government, They were in turn unmercifully bled by smallfry politicians.. At that time the way to get a franchise or a rate increase was to get hold of the local government and buy the desired result. This was regarded by friends of good government as an unmitigated eviL The system had no supporters except a few blackmailing politicians and unscrupulous utility, managers. This is a gratuitous insult both to city governments of that day and to the utility managers, many of whom are still in control of the properties they managed at that time. Not a scintilla of evidence exists to bolster up the bold charge of wholesale bribery which is here set forth with customary arrogance. The truth about the origin of the public sen-ice commission is that it was conceived for the purpose of placing control over the utilities of the State in the hands of what was then known as the News crowd. There was great rejoicing in the News office when this bill was passed by tbe Legislature, under the guidance of Governor who was then repaying the News for its support of him in his campaign for office. ' This rejoicing and support of Governor Ralston both ended when the Governor refused to permit the News to name the members of the commission, and it was not until the retirement from the commission of Charles J. Murphy that the News ceased its tirades against the commission. Since that time, the record of the commission is well known. Under the direction of the News the merger of the two gas companies, that has resulted In 90 Instead of 60-cent gas, was consummated; the Indianapolis Tractfcin & Terminal Company was wrecked; the city of Ind: .lapolis deprived of a very favorable contract with the Indianapolis V ater Company, and the bondholders of the Indianapolis Telephone Company permitted to retire in affluence. From the time of the retirement of Mr. Murphy until the administration of Governor McCray the News was represented on the commission by a member of its own staff and it is not of record that in this period the commission ever failed to follow the course laid down for it in the News office. Whatever opposition to the utility law exists today has been fostered by its administration. During the most of its life tbe commission has administered the law as the News directed. It is not surprising that the law is now in jeopardy.

The ‘Slow Moving ’ British The Empire Mail, a British publication devoted to seeing goods stamped “Made in Britain” on every counter in the world, sees a “rift in the clouds” .of depression that has all but paralyzed English trade ever since the maelstrom of the war. The bitter experience of the British tradesmen i3 not at all dissimilar to the experiences of American manufacturers, yet it might not be amiss for the Americans to take a lesson in optimism from their cousins across the sea. England quit the war with her merchant fleet sadly disseminated by the inroads of the German submarines, while the United States, on the other hand, possessed the greatest mercantile marine that had ever plied under a single flag. The British, beset by internal -woes even more menacing than those that have confronted the United States, never deviated from their determination to regain their lost marts. While they have been settling their labor troubles, their political disturbances, their Irish thorn and above all their international differences, they have sturdily struck out again to place the Union Jack in every commercial port. English bottoms are again plying the seven seas with English-made goods, and while the Empire Mail pleads for “confidence and optimism” in a tone hot unlike a similar plea in America it expresses the opinion that "the Empire's trade will be carried forward on a rising tide of prosperity.” The United States is not so old that it cannot remember the time when the Stars and Stripes on a merchantman was a rare sight in many ports. News pictures only recently have carried pictures of great fleets of government owned ships tied up in American ports for want of cargoes and an organization to operate them. American industry is calling for markets while the world is buying of British merchants. There is a connection between that inactive and vast merchant fleet gathered in our harbors, our smokeless factories and the national Administration. If Britain can see a “rift in the clouds” of sufficient extent to cause her to load her goods on ships and send them down to the sea, America, her chief industrial competitor, should take the lesson to heart. , A recent edition of the North China Review, a trade paper devoted to conditions in the Orient, showed there were ten British and five Japanese firms bidding for the same business. Proper Suspensions Suspension of two motorcycle policemen by Chief Rikhoff, for the receiving of a check from a motorist whom they arrested, w r ill meet with general approval. What the policemen did is not so reprehensible as the manner in which they did it. They arrested a driver following a collision between his car and a police motorcycle. The court records show that the three charges for which the driver w r as slated were not pressed in the citycourt, and the policemen admitted having accepted S2O from the driver. They pleaded. that the S2O was to repay them for damages to their uniforms, and that Captain Claude Johnson knew and approved of their action. Had the driver settled the damages done the policemen in open court received lenity from the police court judge because of the settlement, the affair would not savor of bribery. But, as it was,.the court records show that one charge against the man was dismissed, another continued indefinitely, and the third never formally presented to the court In other words, in consideration of the payment to them of S2O, the policemen agreed not to appear against the driver to press a charge of assault and battery, or to demand that he* be tried for improper driving, or turning without signaling. This affair certainly created a dangerous precedent which Chief Rik hoff did well to upset. And it was all the more dangerous because Captain johnson lent it his mistaken approval.

Soldier ‘Bonus * Could Give Many Ex-Service Men Business Start

WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.—To the “Yank” who got Into the war early and stayed late the soldier i bonus bill, which now seems certain to pass the Senate speedily, would mean a sum sufficient to set him up in business in a small way and to secure his future independence If he Invests It judiciously. If he served overseas the full period of war he could draw a maximum, in cash, of $958.25. If he served at home he could draw a maximum of $755. This Is figured on the full period from April 6, 1917, to June SO, 1919, inclusive, the maximum period for which a soldier will be able to (Iran adjusted compensation if the bill is passed. If he served overseas he would get $1.25 a day less the S6O bonus already paid, and if he served at home he would get $1 a day less the same S6O. But there are features to the proposed bill by which he could drawTlbarly half as much more if he doesn't take it in cash. He could even get this additional amount In cash if he uses it to pay his way through school. Five different plans of compensation are provided. The four, in addition to the cash plan, are the “adjusted service certificate” or paid-up endowment insurance plan: tbe “vocational training aid” plan, the “farm or home aid” plan and the “land settlement aid” plan, INSURANCE PI.AN IS EXPLAINED. The “adjusted service certificate,” or insurance, plan, Is in the nature of a twenty-year Insurance policy. At the end of twenty years the veteran would receive in cash 140 per cent of whist he would receive if he took a cash payment at once, plus 4J-a per cent interest. That means if he served overseas tbe maximum period of the war he would draw at the end of the twenty years $1,342.25 In cash, plus 4>4 per cent compounded semi annually. If he served at home for the maximum period he would draw $1,057 plus th& same interest. If he died before twenty years his estate would receive the full amount that would be due, ordinarily, at the end of twenty years. If he wished to borrow on this certificate he could get; In the third year, i Ve TOWNE GOSSIP | o*njTlgh*. 1921. by CompMJ | By K. C. B Dear K. C.

Table Showing Amount Coming To Each Buddy WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.— Here'are figures showing at a glance what the former service man wonld get for varying periods under the 'proposed soldier bonus act. The figures show what he would get on the cash basis or under the four options, which include insurance, vocational training, farm or home aid and land settlement. The periods are calculated on the maximum period of service and also on the basis of one year and of six months and will serve -"to give the soldier an approximate idea of wbat is “coming to him.” according to his length of sen-ice. Most an overseas soldier could get —Cash, $958.25; other options, sl,342.25. Most a home service soldier conld get—Cash, $755; other options, sl,067. A soldier who served one full year overseas would get—Cash, $396.25; other options, $554 74. A soldier who served one full year at home could get—Cash. $305; other options, $427. A soldier who served six months overseas would get—(task, $173; other options. $245. A soldier who served six month* at home would get—Cash, $128; other options, $178.20.

90 pp* cent of his adjusted service paj at 4m per cent interest. As the certificate grew “older” he t would be enabled to borrow continually Increasing amounts. VOCATIONAL TRAINING IS OPTIONAL. If the veteran chose the vocational training plan he would also receive 140 per cent of what he would ordinarily receive in cash. Re would receive this monthly at the rate of $1.75 a day for the period of training. As in the insurance plan this would mean the over seas man could receive a maximum of $1,342.25 and the home service man could get a maximum of $1,057. The "farm or home aid plan” would authorize the vpteran to receive from the Government the adjusted service pay plns an additional 40 per cent if he applied the monpy toward the purchase of a farm or home. As in the insurance and the training plans the maximum amounts would be $1.342 25 and $1,067 for the two classes of veterans. The “land settlement aid" plan would give the vpterßn the preference right to take lands on the opening of public or Indian lands or of reclamation projects. He would be permitted to flic on such binds as early as sixty days prior to their opening for gcnersl public entry. In addition, under this plan, the veteran would be entitled to his adjusted compensation plus 40 per cent, but would have to apply it entirely In making payments “in connection with the lands” on which he has made entry. MAJORITY WILL NOT GET MAXIMUM. Os eonrse, . the majority of for ner service men’would not receive the maximum amount due for either home ot overseas service. The latter gronp would include soldiers and sailors who were on foreign service at the outbreak of the war, mostly regulars. The “full period" home service men would be very considerable and would include, in addition to the regular army and navy men who were in the service at the time the war broke out, many National Guardsmen who had not yet been mustered out after Mexican border duty and many who “Jumped info the ganie” when it seemed that war was imminent. However, even the veteran who served only one year or six months would receive amounts of tidy proportions. If he served one year overseas ha eonld draw $396 25 cash or $554.74 on either of the other four plans. , If he served one year at home he could draw $305 in cash or $427 on one of the other four plans. If he served six months overseas he could draw $175 cash or $215 on any of the other four plans. If he served sir months r.t home lie could draw $l2B in cash or $178.20 on one of tho other four plans. EUROPEAN TRIP FOR EX-SOLDIERS If Bill Passes, Trip Will Cost Only S6O. A trip to Europe and return for all ex-service men for SOO will be asked of Congress within a short time according to a letter received by narry B. Smith, Adjutant General of the lndiaha National Guard, today from Representative Merril Moores, of Indianapolis. Col. Albert C. Dalton, of the United States Army who is a Hoosler has sug% gested to Mr. Moores that the United States transports which will not be used by tbe Government be pressed into service and thus allow the ex-service men to make the trip. General Smith has been aske.Rby Mr. Moores to have the American Legion to fake charge of the recruiting of passengers and for the backing of the bill oi resolution which wiuld be necessary before the ships could be obtained from Congress. Unless the transports are used in this manner Mr. Moores said they will lie Idle at their docks all summer. Quick action on the part of the Legion in getting behind the bill and securing men to take the trip was urged by Mr. Moore.s

GOVERNMENT ‘Of the People, by the Petrie, for the People ’

THE BIRTHRIGHT OF AN AMERICAN History records that for ages mankind has been reaching for his divinely best' wed -birthright of freedom and Individual liberty. He has been ceaselessly seeking the “inalienable rights” with which "all men" were “endowed by their Creator," that heritage which has always existed and for the attainment or holding of which persons and nations have fought, suffered and died when It was threatened or assailed. Deep in the hearts of nil men this desire to enter fully into man's birthright has sought and struggled for expression. Gradually mankind has been coming into his own, through centuries of time and at tremendous cost. The highest and clearest concept of ideal freedom that has thus far been attained is manifest'd iu the constitutional Government of the people of the United States. Sternly demanding their freedom, resenting every attempted Invasion of their Individual rights and Jealously guarding this dearly bought birthright, our forefathers framed the Constitution of > the United States, not only to maintain ; freedom from European domination, but j to protect American citizens from them- ] selves. The preamble to the Constitution expresses in clearest terms the birthright of every American : "W, the people of the United States, j In order to form n more perfect union, establish Justice, Insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish t.bis Constitution for the United States of America.” j This birthright was established as the i result of the voluntary cooperation of the thirteen polonies. It was born out of nn"7 J told hardships, battered about by internal j jealousies, written under the most dis- ! eonraging conditions, and survived and 1 passed to piosterlty only because of the ! spirit of fundemental liberty It expresses, j The preservation of this wonderful gift I to humanity necessarily demanded that j our Government be nothing more nor less than n grant given by the people, or a relinquishment, to a central power, of certain rights held by the people. This : Government is not and never was one set of people set up to rule, regulate and , dominate another class of citizens. To j make sure of this our forefathers Incor i porated the tenth amendment to the Constitution of the United States. This amendment states that “the powers not i delegated to the United States by tho ! Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the j States, are reserved to the State’s respectively, or to the people.” |

Tb ..asts of society, politically organized. 1* cither compulsory or voluntary cooperation Germany In Its military autocracy was a good example of compulsory epofwratlon. The American Revolution struck a vital blow to the Old World methods of this type and created a form of Government which provided for opportunity to the individual. It costed upon the voluntary cooperation of its citizens. The suffering of the Illy clad and half starved Continental Army, with Its final overcoming of almost Insurmountable obstacles, was mad*, possible only because the men knew that they were establishing what was to be a priceless birthright for future generations In a larger measure the soldiers of the Civil War withstood their terrible hardships, buoyed up by the same desire to extend liberty and preserve the heritage passed down to them by the Continentals. Then came our boys In khaki, facing the greatest horrors of all. a war involving the most advanced technical methods of destruction, They In turn fought for the | preservation of this birthright So every great war that the American Nation has ever fought has been for tbs growth in ideals and the preservation of the original birthright of liberty. It Is doubtful If thp framers of the i Constitution of the UnVed States realized the tremendous lmpnrtatiaee to future generations of the birthright they established when they laid down the fundamental principles contained In It. Civil liberty Is clearly defined In the Constitution. It Is jealously protected by the courts from Invasion by the stronger j or more self-seeking Individual, or by the Government itself. There has been an Insidious tendency during the last decade to place less value on civil liberty and to give greater powers to Government. This encourages a reactionary and old country doctrine which , insists that the Individual has no rights j save those which the Government may I confer upon him and that a majority may i do as It pleases with hhu. ! The trend of present day legislation 'ls to enact laws of regulation without limits of powers. These permit a multitude of officials, who are appointed by these* laws, to make the rules and pro- , mulgated orders under which the laws are to be enforced. This redelegation of 1 legislative power to officialism without proper restrictions is absolutely unAmerioan. It is at least a direct viola-'' i tion of the spirit of the Constitution. It ! is an encroachment upon our birthright I ns a self-governing people. To permit It means the sacrificing of our heritages ! a repudiation of every historical defense

of liberty, and a return to Old World tyranny under a fiew name. now far we have wandered from our birthright Is best shown by Nicholas Murray Butier in the following sta.ement: • It is a noteworthy and singular characteristic of our American Government that the Constitution provides a means for protecting individual liberty from the invasion of the powers of government itself. as well as Invasion by others more powerful and less scrupulous than ourselves. The principles underlying otlr civil and pohlcal liberty are indelibly written into the Constitution of the United States, and the Nation’s courts nre Instituted for their protection. The representative republic erected on the American Continent under the Constitution. is more advanced, a more just and a wiser form of government than the socialistic and direct democracy which it. is now proposed to substitute for it. This attempt is making while we are speaking about It. It presents Itself In many persuasive and seductive forms. It tractive formulas to which men give adhesion; but if it is suceessfw!, it will bring an end to the form of government that was founded when the Constitution was made and that we and our fathers have gloried in. We must return to the Constitution and pot Into practice the spirit of Americanism to regain our birthright and safeguard it for future generations. Americanism will prove the savior of the world. it Is the happy medium between liberty and license. It makes for tho growth of the Individual in conjunction with threat of the world, not at the expense of others. It stands for Justice for all, Justice founded upon the equal rights with which we are endowed by our birthright. This is to be administered, not according to the Influences of wealth and power, but In accordance with the dictates of absolute fairness, determined without passion or prejudice. It means life, and pursuit of happiness for the Individual, with equal opportunity for aIL The citizen's appreciation of this opportunity should be manifested by his active participation in the politics of the Nation and by his faithfully guarding his birthright. It makes for nobility of thought and action; it prizes the prtvi/ege of defending liberty. It accords to all equal rights. It Jealously refuses the admission into this country of the methods of Old World governments. It defends its inalienable birthright against all encroachments, and puts into practice the immortal words of Lincoln, “that this Nation, under God, shall have anew birth of freedom—and that government of the people, by tho people and for the people, shall not perish from the earth.” Will the American man and woman sleep on and so repudiate the sacrifices that have been made to preserve this birthright? Will they break faith with the dead on the battlefields both here and abroad? Will they lend themselves to the plans of the official class, and thus assist in the enslavement not only of

13 STATES PAY CASH BONUSES’ TO YANK VETS Ohio Latest tow Reward Men Who Fought in World War. Cash “bonuses" totaling $191,339,200 are being paid to veterans of the World War in thirteen States, and $156,500,000 more in “adjusted compensation" will be disbursed under legislation already passed, according to a Nation-wide survey by the Bank of America, New York. Ohio is the only State now paying “bonuses” which was not paying them in August, 1921. when the Bank of America made its first survey on this subject. Missouri will be ready to distribute $15,000,000 in a few weeks. Every State in the Union, excepting Alabama, Georgia and Mississippi, has passed legislation giving or authorizing aid for war veterans of some nature, either in the form of cash “bonuses.” monetary aid or relief, exemptions or other benefits. New York is the only State in the country wh'eh was preparing to pay “bonuse*” last August which since has been forced to abandon the plan because of adverse court opinions. From $lO for every month of service in Massachusetts, Missouri, New Jersey, Ohio. Vermont and Wisconsin up to $25 a month in North Dakota is the range of money “bonuses” being paid. A number of the States specify maximum limits to adjusted compensation for each veterfin, varying from SIOO in New Jersey to SSOO in Oregon- Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Rhode Island have “adjusted” veterans’ compensation to ifiie extent of SIOO outright in cash. Other States in which cash “bonuses” are being paid are Michigan, Minnesota, South Dakota and Washington. Many of the States practically have completed the work of disbursing the "bonuses.” while the time limit for application in Maine expired with the end of 192 L STATES WILL VOTE ON “BONUS” PLAN. Referendum elections are to be held In a number of States to vote on cash "bonus" propositions. Next November, Illinois will pass on the proposal of $55,000,000 bond .issue to' pay its veterans sls per month of service up to $300; Kansas will vote on a $25,000,000 issue to provide $1 a day for veterans’ war service. and Montana will decide on $4,500.000 to pay its veterans $lO per month of service, S2OO maximum. In November, 1923, lowa's voters will consider the Issuance of $22,000,000 in bonds for tha purpose of its veterans 50 cents per day of service up to $350. In November. 1924. if the legislature passea again a bill on the subject, Pennsylvania win vote on a $35,000,000 bond issu to pay its veterans at the rate of $lO per month of service up to S2OO maximum. Legislation on this subject is reported as pending In California ($18,000,000 bond issue). Colorado. Kentucky ($10,000,000), Florida and New York. In Delaware, Indiana, Maryland. Oklahoma. Tennessee, Texas and Utah, legislation on “bonuses” has been brought in but has so fa* failed of passage. MILLIONS ARE SPENT IN AID. Many millions of dollars In addition to the money distributed as “bonuses" are being spent by the States In other aid for veterans. Relief for needy formcr service men and women is provided for in fifteen States; funds out of which loans are made to veterans have been authorized in three States Fourteen have definite provisions for helping veterans in their education. Veterans' welfare commission* or boards have been instituted in eight others Help In buying homes is given in five and assistance in settling on farms is offered in eleven. Four States make specific provision for veterans seeking employment. State civil service preference has been adopted in sixteen. Nine States hav* granted exemption from taxation. Most of the States have provided for the admission of veterans to State hospital* and soldiers’ homes and many have special hospitals for Insane or tuberculat* veterans. The most general method of paying for “bonuses” or other aid Is that of bond issues, the Bank of America chart shows. Twenty States have issued or will issue bonds, notes and certificate* to provide funds for their veterans' aid. Michigan leads with $30,000,000 bond issue. although New York would have come first if the validity of Us $45,000,000 issu* had been upheld by the court*.
