GOVERNOR COX ON ARTICLE X.

“What has made wars in the past? -It has been the lust of territory. • Hadar Article X. of the league of maHons a boundary line is a bound- • ary Une for the small as well as for the large nations. Every imperialist in Europe is against the league of nations, but, thank God, there are not as many imperialists ats there once were. The people ■ have ceased to take seriously the criticism of Article X.” —Governor Cox *

PERPETUATING GOODRICHISM

In a recent speech at Shelbyville, Warren T. McCray, the "board of trade" candidate for governor, said: "I congratulate the people of Indiana on the fact that we have made a splendid jaUrt on the Improvement of our highways and I pledge myself without reservation, that if elected, I will use every practical means to carry out the road Improvement program as fast as the exigencies and the conditions will admit." If this means anything, and we rather think it does, it means that Warren T. McCray has pledged himself to carry out the road program evolved by Jim Goodrich under which the state highway commission has constructed a few miles of cement highways on the skip-stop plan. This is the only “road improvement program" to which Mr. McCray refers and it is interesting to note that he congratulates the people of Indiana on the “splendid start” that has been made.

Recently, this newspaper printed the facts about this “splendid start” The facts and figures therein set out have never been challenged by any one. ' They reveal that when Mr. McCray pledges himself to the carrying out of the Goodrich highway improvement program he pledges himself: X To continue to expend the taxpayers’ money at a rate that will make the. ultimate cost of improving 5 per cent of the highways of Indiana 1212,937,732. „2. To continue the operation of a commission whose overhead expraises have reached 72 per cent of the construction costs and whose average expenses are 66 per cent of construction costs. 3. To continue the letting of construction contracts at a cost to the taxpayers of $6,191 a mile more than Marion county pays for better roads. 4. To continue the operation of a motor transport fleet and maintenance department at a cost which, ’lf it increases as heretofore, will bring the ultlpiate annual outlay for 'maintenance of 5 per cent of the 'roads to 1160,000,000 a year. 5. To continue the policy of trading government trucks for pleasure ‘cans for state employes. & To continue the maintenance of a political machine under the -guise of a highway commission at an annual cost to the taxpayers of more than $30,000,000. . Whatever may be said of Mr. McCray’s pledge, it can not be declared that he has not given fair warning vol fits intentions. . The question that here confronts the voter is solely whether he de-

REPUBLICANS ARE TO BLAME

Rockford, 111., Oct. 7.—Secretary of the Navy' Daniels, speaking at a Democratic meeting tonight, laid blame for present world conditions at the door of the Republican party. “Not only have , the Republicans failed to do things themselves," he said, “but they have attempted to hold up progressive legislation advocated by the Democrats. A reading of the Republican platform will disclose that the only tax reforms they promise now are in almost the exact words of those urged by the secretary of the treasury, while congress was In session,” said Secretary Daniels. “The Republicans obtained power in 1918 by false pretense. They promised to reduce taxes and to reduce the cost of living, and immediately to pass laws to fulfill those pledges. They can not point to a law that has reduced federal taxes or reduced the cost of living or brought certainty and stability to the country.”

STATE NEWS ITEMS

The Doings of Hooslerdom Reported by Wire. COAL PRICES SET FOR MINES - 1 , I I -"■* State Special Commission Fixes Charge* at $2.80 to >6.Bs—Whole•alers and Jobbers Will Probably - Be Permitted Margin of 16 Conte. Indianapolis, Oct. B.—Prices eeal operators shall charge for Indiana coal at their mines were fixed by the state special coal and food commission. The prices were divided Into four groups, the commission specifying to which group each mine in the state belongs. The groups were fixed on the basfs of production costs. Group 1, prices are as follows: Mine run, $3 a ton; screenings, $2.80; prepared sizes, $3.25. Group 2, mine run, $3.20; screenings, $3; prepared sizes, $3.45. Group 3, mine run, $3.85; screenings, $3.65; prepared sizes, $4.10. Group 4 (Brazil blapk), mine run, $5.60; ’screenings, $5.40; prepared sizes, $5.85. In case any of the Nroup 3 mines are not situated on a railroad track or switch, and It is necessary to haul the coal by wagon or truck, to h ( e loaded on board the car, the producing person or company may add for the cost of such hauling not to exceed 50 cents a ton. The mine run price in each group Is the basic price. The screenings prices are 20 cents less and the prepared sizes are 25 cents more. Jesse M. Eschbach, chairman of the commission, of which Governor Goodrich and Otto L. Klauss, auditor of state, are the other members, issued the following brief statement when askqd about the.order: “The prices fixed by the special coal and food commission are liberal. The main object at this particular time Ift # swl 22*', flclent quantities to relieve the extreme emergency and avoid suffering. The special coal and food commission believes life prices It has fixed will bring about this result. If any person, firm or corporation feels Itself Injured, It can have an Immediate hearing and if the evidence warrants It, may have a modification of the order. If conditions warrant at any time, the commission will modify its present orders. Since the wartime prices were last fixed by the government there have been three labor increases and two freight Increases affecting the price of coal to the consumer. The prices fixed tn the order of October 5 are for the temporary emergency only and will be readjusted at any time upon hearing.” Orders fixing margins for the wholesaler and Jobber are expected to follow soon. They may be permitted a selling margin of 15 or more cents a ton. Prices for the retailers to charge the consumers will be contained in another order to come soon. By permitting operators who sell directly to retailers or consumers an additional margin of 15 cents a ton, for handling the coal, indications are that the commission may fix this same'' amount as the jobber’s margin.
