It is about time that the numerous controversies in Lake county over

franchise matters were settled and there were some evidences of progress

in construction work. The traction needs of the region are far from being met. A direct line from Hammond to Indiana Harbor would be a good paying investment from the very start and is badly needed. A line from Gary

to the cities of Indiana Harbor and Whiting Is another urgent necessity at

the present time. It too will be a paying investment.

But, instead of seeing the work of grading and the laying of rails be

gun, all the people of the northern part of the county hear ia wrangling

constant, persistent, continuous wrangling.

The courts are filled with lawyers seeking writs of mandate, injunctions and scores of page3 of complaints and cross complaint are filed. The

people have got to the point where they ask, "Oh Lord, how long "

Over in West Hammond the Eastern Illinois Traction company is tied

up In the courts by the railroads which are opposing the crossing of their tracks. Even the Seaman line, which finally had all of the legal obstacles

removed to Its plan to build to Crown Point only appears to be making weak in intermittent efforts to actually construct a line. The time has come for the people of the region to carefully scrutinize franchises which are

"From the reports we have already received from "dry' territory. I estimate $125,400 Is paid into the cities, $13,800

paid Into the towsn, and $1,000 paid Into the townships. This makes a total of

$126,400 a year paid into the state j

through the operation of the new local option law. It will also be remem

bered that under the old law there was

no township fee, whereas, under the new regulation law, there Is a fee of $50. This alone brings in $11,200 from the territory which was 'wet' under tho county option law. The new saloon

regulation law also Increased the state

fee on all licenses from $100 to $200.

"In the city of Indianapolis alone

there are 757 retail liquor licenses. The city licenses fee is $500, thus bringing in a revenue of $378, BOO to the city and

try then Gary presents. The fear that Gary will attain supremacy over it as a steel center has lead the moneyed interests of Pittsburg to offer the government $100,000,000 for the building of a canal from Lake Erie to Pittsburg, so that the cost of transportation of iron ore may be lessened. It costs the steel interests of Pittsburg $1.12 per ton for their iron ore. In Gary it is delivered to the Gary harbor for about one-half as much. Is this not conclusive reason why Gary will be the producing center of the country?

NEED CAREFUL INVESTIGATION. There is absolutely no reason to paw the air on the street railway franchise propositions before the Gary council. It is simply a case where the council should do its duty and protect the interests of the people. The committee on public utilities In the Gary Commercial club now at work going over the terms of the franchises, the board of public works and the council will do well to consider the franchises seriously, and give every company a square deal. These recommendations should be made so as to give Gary the best in the shop.

THE QUESTION before us is: For what will Harry Darling run Congressman Crumpacker now that the latter declines to let Mr. .Darling make him United States senator or governor?
