GRAVE PROBLEMS FACING COOLIDGE AS NEWEXECUTIVE International and Domestic Affairs as Well as Politics Near Crisis, By United Press WASHINGTON. Aug. 4.—Three grave problems faced Calvin Coolidge as he took over the duties of the thirtieth President of the United States today. 1. The international situation —with European conditions generally believed steadily worse, what will the United States do to stave off a final crisis? 2. Domestic affairs to continue and complete the task begun by President Harding of setting America’s own house in order after the great dislocations of the war. 3. The political situation with an open season for all presidential candidates now foreseen as the result of Mr. Harding’s death. The International situation Is described by officials and diplomats as the most serious since 1914. Mr. Coolidge comes into office with every nation interested in the present European crisis looking to the United States for aid or guidance. Every' foreign chancellery is wondering what effect the ascending to the presidency of Calvin Coolidge will have on American foreign policy. Faces Ruhr Crisis One of the most serious international questions facing Mr. Coolidge is the Ruhr and reparations crisis. Then, with the United States having successfully contributed to world peace by the Washington disarmament conference. President Coolidge will find the nations abroad again engaged in a better armament race than ever. Another question of international policy which has had an Important reflex in the American political situation is President Harding's advocacy of this country’s participation in the world court. Will Mr. Coolidge sponsor the world court as strongly as did Mr. Harding-, it-is asked here today. The gravest domestic question that greets the new President is 'the economic crisis facing the American farmer. With wheat having gone below $1 a bushel, the agricultural bloc in Congress is prepared to demand the plight of the fanner be given first and favored consideration. President Coolidge, himsejf a “farmer,” is expected by members of this bloc to view this problem sympathetically. Situation Is Delicate The treasury having claimed great surpluses in government finances through the operation of the budget system. President Coolidge will have a delicate situation on his hands in the impending fight in the new Congress for and against a reduction in taxes. The railroad question will be one of the foremost domestic problems with which the new President will have to deal as a controversy over some sort of a government control of the railroads Is almost certain to develop in the next Congress. The death of President Harding has brought about one of the most interesting political situations of present times. The late President was almost certain to have been the next presidential nominee of the Republican party. Despite the fact Mr. Coolidge will be In the White House and have a strategic advantage at the time of the convention, observers believed from now on It will be a free for all political fight for the Republican nomination In 1924.

RATES FOR WATER IN CHICAGO LOWER THAN INDIANAPOLIS Consumers in Windy City Pay 62!/ 2 Cents for Service Which Costs Local Citizens $1,50, Times man Finds.

Note—This is the last of a series of articles on why Illinois utility rates jjan be reduced while Indianapolis utilities are asking for increases. By FELIX BRUNER. She approached the information desk at the water office in the Chicago city hall. She was apparently "peeved. *’ “I want to know," she said, “why I have to pay $5.45 a year for water. My neighbors don’t pay that much." The man at the desk examined her bill and carefully explained to her that the rate was correct for her house and that the houses of her neighbors must be smaller. The rate that consumer was complainfhg about was not $5.45 a quarter, as Indianapolis consumers might expect, but $5.45 a year. Rates Are Compared The house of the woman who complained must have been a very small one. for most of the Chicago rates are higher, but not a great deal. For a two-story house twenty-seven feet wide, with all ordinary equipment be sides a hose, the fiat rate Is $9.50 a year. If It is on a fifty-foot lot the rote Is $3 higher, or a total of $12.50. A similar service In Indianapolis costs $20.65 a year, and the water company wants to Increase It. Meter rates In Chicago are ex-

HARDING’S KINDLY VIEW ON LIFE RECALLED HERE

"Be decent; be fair, be generous. Boost- —don’t knock. There’s good in everything.” These are the words by which President Harding summed up his humane philosophy of life. It ia part of a creed that he used In his newspaper office. "Bring out the good In everybody. and never, needlessly, hurt the feelings of anybody. Treat all religious matters reverently. Above all, be clean and never let a dirty word get Into type.” Frederick E. Schortemeler. secretary of the Indiana State Republican committee. In his volume, “The Life and Recent Speeches of Warren G. Harding,” clearly portrays the kindliness of the late President. Honored His Mother "Warren and his mother were genuinely intimate and affectionate,’’ Schortemeler records, "for nineteen years he took or sent flowers to her every week without fail. "Harding once met an acquaintance whom he had not seen in many months, and who was threatened with total blindness. Harding took his friend to Washington, placed him In the hands of an eminent eye specialist, and was sincerely happy when the physician was able to restore the sight of one eye.” Mr. Harding was an Ideal patriot; America first, was always his desire, and In all publis questions he seemed

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

tremely low, only 62*4 cents a thousand cubic feet. There are 7,600 gallons In 1,000 cubic feet. In Indianapolis the rate is 20 cents a thousand gallons, or $1.60 for the same amount of water for which Chicago pays only 62*4 vents. Reasons for Higher Cost There are several reasons why Chicago water rates are lower! than those of Indlanapolts. Many of these reasons apply to rates in most other cities in the country where rates are lower than those In Indianapolis. The Chicago water system is municipally owned. This means that consumers are not required to pay profits on "fanciful" elements of value put In largely for the purpose of boosting return. It does moan that consumers are required to pay a part of the cost of extendlr g water mains Just as they pay a part of the cost of extending sewers In Indianapolis. But lower rates In a short time make up the cost of mains and soon the consumer and not a company Is reaping the advantage of the Investment. In Indianapolis consumers pay the cost of water mains many times over, because of higher rates. Chicago Is on Lake Michigan and has an assured available water supply. But engineers have said the Indianapolis supply also Is adequate with walls used only to carry peak loads. I

to have only that In mind, Schorterneier said. "Harding’s controlling passion was a complete devotion to America, strong and free, sovereign and supreme,” says Schortemeler, "His devotion to the national Ideal was the composite of the belief of William McKinley In representative government and the absolute Americanism of Theodore Roosevelt."

BEVERIDGE FOR PRESIDENT TALK IS HEARD HERE Friends Believe He Would Be Compromise Between Party Factions. Albert J. Beveridge was being mentioned today as a possible Republican candidate l'or President in 1924. The death of President Harding has thrown the field open to presidential possibilities. Friends of Beveridge pointed out that he is progressive, but not too much so. It was sold he might be a compromise between the faction represented by such men as Senators La Follette, Brookhart and Magnus Johnson, and the element of the party as represented by such men as Senator James E. Watson and Senator Henry Cabot Lodge. Beveridge served two terms in the United States Senate as a Republican. He was a Progressive candidate for Governor of Indiana in 1912, but was defeated by Samuel M. Ralston. Ralston again defeated him in 1922 when Beveridge was a Republican candidate for the Senate. It Is understood Beveridge has indicated to his friends he still has political ambitions. He was a close friend of Theodore Roosevelt and a leader lu the element headed by Roosevelt. Beveridge is now in Europe LODGECONVENTION TO OPEN MONDAY Parade to March Along 'Shrine Lightway,’ .

“Women Guest Are Worst,” Declare Harassed Clerks

Traveling salesmen and commercial men are the most honest hotel patrons according to the clerks and managers of local hotels. Tourists, especially women are the most careless and think nothing of taking away towels, scarfs and sheets when they leave, it was said. But why are salesmen careful? J. S. Winnefeld, chief clerk of Hotel English says Jts because they will return a few weeks later and don’t want to be pointed out as hotel thieves. Commercial men make many friends at the hotels they stop in and want always to preserve a reputation, he said.

Todd, president, announced today.

An order for the v signal has been sent to Louisviße, Ky. It will cost SBOO to install the signal of the most modern type. The Times called attention to the need for protection at the crossing after the accident. Eight persons have been killed at the place in thirteen years.

Should the light fail to flash it is the duty of the motorman to stop his car at the crossing and investigate. The signal will be ready in about three weeks, Todd said. Mrs. Una Marie Coy Jordan. 3518 W. Michigan St., daughter of Mrs. Coy. said today that she earnestly hoped Councilman Walter W. Wise will succeed in getting through city council two ordinances which he intends to present Monday night. Ordinances Require Watchmen "Something should have been done long ago,” Mrs. Jordan said. "It was impossible for my mother to see that Interurban coming until the hood of her machine was on the track." Wise’s ordinanaces would require the Big Four railroad and the traction company each to maintain a watchman at the crossing, which has seven tracks, from 7 a m. to 7 p. m. daily and owners or occupants of corner lots to keep trees trimmed. The second measure also would prohibit any shrubbery, hedge, vine or tree more than three feet high within twenty-five feet of a corner. Warning Out of Order Motor Policemen Owen and Paul of the accident prevention department discovered another dangerous traction crossing at Sherman Dr. and Sixteenth St. It is on the Union Traction line to Newcastle. Buildings on each side obstruct all view of the track. The signal device there is supposed to flash a light and ring a bell "We watched three or four trains pass,” said Paul, “and not one of them either flashed the light ,or rang the bell. If that is not fixed soon, somebody is going to he killed there." The trafffiemen reported traction officials promised to repair the devices.

Chase, manager of the Claypool says it used to be that hotel guests would take anything that wasn’t nailed down, "But there isn’t such a craze for hotl souvenirs now,” Chase said.
