And Still Some People Want to Vote Subsidies.

Indiana day was celebrated at the Panama-Pacific exposition Saturday. The Indiana building was formally dedicated and a tree was planted commemorating the event. The principal feature of the celebration was an address by Governor Samuel M. Ralston, who began with a description of the natural resources of Indiana and the achievements of the state’s pioneers. He described the various steps in the state's progress and urged former Hoosiers to return to Indiana next year and take part in the centennial celebration. Among other things Gov. Ralston said; “It is doubtful if any state in the Union excels our own Indiana in transportation facilities. Eight thousand miles of steam railroads, not including sidings, and 2,000 miles of electric road stretch across her surface. Indianapolis, her capital city, is the greatest steam railroad center in the . world, as she is also the greatest interurban or electric traction road center in the world.”
