auditing and that on survey of conditions In other cities. After a twenty-page report had been read by Louis C. Schwartz, member of the Fullen committee and a fifteen-hun-dred-word digest of answers to questionnaires sent to other cities tad been delivered by Mr. White, an expected wrangle over the content of the documents was averted by a motion that they be turned over to Mayor Shank to be delivered to the general committee, comprising some forty representatives of civic societies and business clubs. When this motion was carried Mr. Harvey read a thcusand-word report, containing conclusions drawn from the reports of the two sub-committees and moved that this be adopted by the executive committee byway of explanation and summary of the other two reports and be turned over to the executive committee. Another memer of the committee moved' that the motion be amended to provide for turning the Harvey report over to the mayor without comment ss the others were to be. Mr. Harvey consented and this was carried. CONCLUSIONS IN ITEMIZED LIST. The Harvey conclusions are as follows: L Owl car service from 1 to 4:30 a. m. loses from $1,090 to $2,000 a month. Recommended owl fare be Increased from 5 to 10 cents. 2. Interurban companies ought to Join with the street car company In a petition to the public service commission Increase amount paid the local com™ny for use of Its tracks. 3. Freight terminal facilities should be improved and suggestion is made the public service commission say what they should be and whether interurban companies or shippers pay the cost. 4. Interurban fares inside city limits should be increased to 10 cents, so passengers would be driven to ride city cars, thereby increasing earnings of the local company. 5. Interborrmgh bus line should be regulated by public service commission so as to reduce business they take from street car company. 6. Street car company should be relieved of original cost of paving between tracks, but should be required to maintain such pavement. Property owners should pay original cost. 7. As rapidly as possible street car company should arrange to discontinue its West Washington street power house and purchase power. Wohild be necessary for company to establish sub-stations If this were done. 8. Company should set aside a “proper portion” of Ita Income to cover depreciation. The Harvey conclusions state It is believed adoption of the above economies will save the company money but it will not be sufficient “to offset the deficit under which the company Is now operating." It Is Impossible, the document says, to fix an exact Income the company Is entitled to, since there is no exact valuation of the utility’s property. In the absence of an exact valuation, it Is suggested the return should be 7 per cent of the tentative valuation of from $14,000,000 to $18,000,000 fixed by the public service commission some time ago, for return on the investment and 4k per cent of the valuation for depreciation.

INCREASED FAKE SEEMS ifNLY REMEDY. •‘ln order to produce such an Income, the committee sees no other alternative but an Increase in fare.” Mr. Ilarvej says the committee does not feel it possible to recommend a definite increase in the absence of the exact valuation. “The committee believes that if the question were properly presented to the public service commission, that commission would have the power to order such an increase in fare, which along with the establishment of the above suggested economies, as would produce proper and adequate revenue to the company; that in view of the uncertain return to be derived from any increase in fare, we suggest that the public service commission be petit oned to devise and fix some maximum figure, above which the corapanv's earnings might be held in a special fund to be returned to the city. That is to say. If a rate of fare as fixed by the commission was found to produce a return 1u excess of 10 per cent (7 per cent on investment and 3 per cent for depreciation) such excess should be returned to the city and the company be required to furnish the city with bond to guarantee the return of such excess.” It was sugested that no increase be made effective for more than one year in view of anticipated recovery from industrial depression. SERVIC ECOMMISSION HEARING URGED. “Your committee recommends that the city of Indianapolis, through Its executive department, joiu with the Indianapolis Street Railway Company in petitioning the Indiana public service commission for a hearing with a prayer for adoption of measures of relief as TBote suggested,’* concludes the Harvey conclusions. The Fullen sub-committee spent about six weeks delving Into the records of the company. It reported full access to the utility books was granted. Harry Eoggs, chief auditor for the public service commission, who was loaned to the committee. worked with the committee and a rising vote of thanks was given him by the executive committee at Mr. Fullen’s suggestion. In addition to the tweuty-

Doc Copeland Expects Hot Reply

NEW TORK, May 18.—’’Children of New Tork City’s ‘four hundred’ are seriously afflicted with ‘nursitis’ which threatens to spread to middle class children unless stopped In Its course,” Dr. Royal S. Copeland, city health commissioner, declared today. He explained that the disease was caused by society mothers giving their children too much to the caro of their nurse maids. "Three times as many youngsters die yearly In the region of Central Park, Riverside Drive and Fifth avenue as down on the East Side and the less fashionable sections.” Dr. Copeland asserted. "I at-

Dad's Old Cob Pipe Soothes Baby GIRL MOTHERS STORY SHOCKS COURT She’s Taking Train for Missouri

They give the taby dad’s old corncob pipe Instead of a pacifier when they want to keep It quiet, out among the Ozarks, a young woman from southwestern Missouri told Judge Frank J. Lahr, when she was brought before him on a charge of child neglect. Testimony also was given that the girl, who is the mother of two children was In the habit of smoking several cigarettes a day. “How long have you been doing this smoking?" asked the Judge. “I can’t remember bow long ago I started, only I know it was before I was big enough to walk. Pa used to give us kids h!s pipe to suck on to keep us quiet,” the girl declared. "I guess I Just got the habit then and ns soon as I was big enough to reach the shelf where he kept It when he wasn’t smokin’ it, I

page report, the Fullen rmb-eommittee submitted s ninety-six-page audit of the strec-t car books and twenty exhibits, such as maps, tables and punphlets. After going Into various phases of the company’s problem lr considerable detail, the subcommittee's report sets out a “schedule of possibilities” for saving money. It shows the company's actual revenues In 1921 were $5,233,527.16 and operating expenses. Including taxes. $4,400 396 39. leaving a net Income of $832,950 77. This net Income possible could be Increased $249,009 to a total of $1,082,029.77 by the following Items, the table says: WOULD INCREASE OWL CAR FARES. Increase owl fare to 10 cents, netting $15,000; Increase interurban passenger contracts 1 cent, $60,000; establish freight terminal facilities, $25,000; Increase city fare on interurban cars to 10 cents. $4,350; regulate Interborough busses, $10,000; remove burden of paving maintenance, $114,749, and decreased platform expense (wages of conductors and motormen). $20,000. The report of this snb-commlttee differs from the Harvey conclusions In regard to track-paving. Mr. Harvey’s document suggests relieving the company of original cost of paving. The Fullen report says the company In the last two years spent an average of $114,749.5Q a year for “maintenance of street paving’ end comments; “If this item Is eliminated from the operating expense accounts, the net revenues will be Increased by a like amount. However, we are of the persuasion that after a reasonable period in which the company may be thus relieved that the board of public works, of the city of Indianapolis shoaild be authorized to order the company to expend a like sum for extensions and improvements. WOULD SHOW 7.73 TER CENT EARNINGS. The report says if the economies bring the increased coming set out In the table the total net Income would nmour.t to 7 73 per cent of a valuation of $14.00>\000; 721 per cent of S15,0ui).000; 6.76 on $16,000,000. “The committee Is not wholly unmindful that the practice of carrying general officers and legal counsel of a. corporation oa fixed salaries Is wltbiu the power of the corporation, but in this case, where economy Is such a dominant factor, these charges should be proportionately sacrificed by the affected officials," says the report “We recommend that the officials of the company scrutinize such salaries and readjust them to conform with the retrenchment policy of the company.” The sub-committee hail a committee of realtors to appraise the West Washington street power plant. The company said the value of the plant was $1,363,814.20, while the appraisers found it to be $900,116. says the report. The only stnted recommendation In tho Fullen sub-committee report Is "that the management of said company consider the advisability of permitting the mayor of the city of Indianapolis to appoint one disinterested citizen as a member of the company’s directorate with tho thought of the essence of the various possibilities herein suggested becoming operative.

tribute this fact largely to the disease I have heen telling you of for no rrurse In the world can take the place of a mother In caring for a child,” he explained. “Since so women have started to mother toy dogs instead of their children, It has been found that the children are the ones who suffer most as a result “Many of these mothers will deny my assertion,” continued the doctor, “as false, but I know whereof I speak. Children who have personal association with mothers are much brighter of Intellect than those turned over to nurses for attention. Many of our middle class mothers try to ape the society women, to the detriment of their children.”

Judge Lahr inquired. “Fourteen,” answered the defendant. “But most of them is grown up now and pa Is pretty well off, and he says I can come back there end bring my kids.” “lou donj. want to go back there and have your father teach your children to i smoke a pipe, do yem?” the Judge asked, j “No, sir, but pa don't smoke any more : hisself and I know he wouldn't try to teach my kids, If I didn’t want them to learn.” "Well, In that case, the court will see that you and the children get the first train back to the Ozarks,’’ the Judge decided.

before any Increase In fare Is recommended.” Resides Mr. Fullen, members of this snb-commlttee were Louis C. Schwarts, labor leader; Marguerite W. Relffel, south side club woman; Theodore J. Bernd, president of the city council, and W. 11. Freeman, member of the board of public wurks. The subcommittee on survey sent a list of thirty-one questions to twentytwo cities of approximately the sams class as Indianapolis. Replies were not received from four cities. The report summarizes information gained from the eighteen cities which replied on many pertinent phases of street railway operation. According to the report, the answers show most of the cities have larger traek mileage per capita than Indianapolis, most cities have a higher fare than this but make no charge for transfers, the Indianapolis company pays comparatively low wages, most companies have not paid dividends but have met fixed charge*, there is a general trend to State control, very little jitney competition Is disclosed, there la little progress toward municipal ownership and some companies are operating on tho "service-nt-cost” plan.

JUDGE BATT WILL SUBMIT ECONOMY IDEA Terre Haute Candidate for State Senator Has Democratic Platform Pledge. The Democratic State convention, here May 31-June 1, will be asked to go on record by pledging tho candidates, If elected, to “reduce taxes by cutting off needless expenses In the form of useless boards, bureaus and commissions” and “also to divorce public expenditures from political expediency,’’ If the plans of Judge Charles S. Batt, Democratic nominee for State Senator from Tcrro Ilaute, are carried out. Judge Batt for years has waged “war” upon high taxes and the State highway commission. He will submit the following plank on taxation to the Democratic State convention, he says: The power to tax la the power to destroy, and taxation has been carried to such an extent In Indiana that the farm and home owners are rapidly approaching destruction by taxation. With the advent of the so-called Good.-lch tax law, the taxes in Indiana were rapidly doubled, and under the present administration are almost treble what they were before the enactment of this obnoxious law. It was claimed that the law was for she purpose of “raising valuations" and “equalizing taxation,” and that the rates would be reduced correspondingly, but the experience of property owners In Indiana has been that the increase in valuation was followed by a reduction of rates for one yenr, and thereafter the rates wero raised as high, or higher, than they wore before, so that all of the property owners In Indiana are paying two and onehalf to three times as much taxes as they did before the enactment of the so-called Goodrich tax law. Taxes must come down, government must be made simpler and cheaper, and we pledge the voters of Indiana, if given the power, to reduce taxes hy cutting off nepdless expenses In the form of useless boards, bureaus and commissions, and also to divorce public expenditures from political expediency. We view with alarm the action of the present Si ate officials, boards and bureaus, In trading tax money for political power; and we especially condemn the action of present State officials in using the State highway commission and the conservation bureau to buy and bribe county and district chairmen; and we pledge the Toters of Indiana that if the Btato highway commission aud conservation bureau are not Immediately divorced from political traffic, they shall be abolished; as It is not tho part of taxpayers to furnish money to buy and bribe political chairmen, to give some particular coterie of politicians the power of controlling the Republican party In the State of Indiana. Our State house la clogged with useless boards, bureaus and commissions. which perform no service or benefit to the State ; and many of them are a detriment to the State’s development and well being, yet they are continued and their numUw constantly Increased, at enormous expense to the taxpayers. Officers have been multiplied, employes added, and salaries Increased, throughout the State departments, without regard for any necessity for sm-h addition or Increase; the only object ledng to attach faithful henchmen to the State pay roll. We demand that all nselesa boards, bureaus and commissions be at once abolished; officers and employes bo reduced to a number sufficient to take care of the State’s legitimate business, and that the salaries shall only be In proportion to tho services they perform.
