A Peek Through the Periscope At llis Hammond Political Situation

ARTICLE NO. 7. WHAT HAS MAYOR SM ALLEY DONE? MAYOR SM ALLEY IS RESPONSIBLE FOR A MOVE OF SUCH GREAT STRATEGIC IMPORTANCE TO HAMMOND THAT IF THAT ONE THING WERE HIS SOLE ACCOMPLISHMENT IT WOULD ENTITLE HIM TO EVERY CONSIDERATION AT THE HANDS OF THE PEOPLE OF HAMMOND. This great accomplishment is the annexation of over eight square miles of territory extending from the present city limits to the Little Calumet river and from the state line to the Gary city limits. Mayor Smalley foresaw that the industrial development of the Calumet Region promises to become so extensive that practically all cf the territory in Lake county, north of the Little Calumet river, will be one solid city in the next twenty-five years. THIS LED TO THE LOGICAL CONCLUSION THAT THE CITY WHICH HAS THE GREATEST TERRITORIAL EXTENT WILL IN TIME BE THE LARGEST IN POPULATION. GARY'S RAPID STRIDES IN POPULATION IS DUE LARGELY TO THE FACT THAT GARY EMBRACES PRACTICALLY ALL OF CALUMET TOWNSHIP. The necessary legal steps were taken to annex the territory south of Hammond during Smalley's administration. This annexation was deferred for five years, but will become a fact in another year as a result of the order entered by Judge William C. McMahon in the Lake Circuit court at Crown Point. NOW LET'S SEE WHAT THIS GREAT MOVE ACCOMPLISHES. 1. It places the great future residential district, that must be the complement of the great industrial district of northern North township, in Hammond territory. Whiting, East Chicago and Indiana Harbor now have the FACTORIES. Hammond will eventually have the POPULATION. 2. It has so restricted Whiting and East Chicago territorially that these cities are already feeling the need of elbow room; HENCE THE SENTIMENT IN THOSE CITIES FOR AMALGAMATION. 3. THIS MOVE ON THE PART OF HAMMOND, APPARENTLY A SELFISH ONE IN THE BEGINNING, HAS PRECIPITATED A SITUATION THAT MAKES AMALGAMATION, the great consummation to be desired, AN ABSOLUTE CERTAINTY. 4. Hammond has already built up solidly to its present southern city limits and is even now overflowing into the territory south of this line. The rapidly increasing population in Hessville and South Hammond Is entitled to and must have police and fire protection, gas and water extensions and access to the manual training school and other highly developed educational facilities of the city of Hammond. Sewer systems and other public utilities must be built with the idea of taking care of this new territcry. The city of Hammond must exercise its control over the subdividing of this new tirritory to make these subdivisions conform to those of the city of Hammond. 5. The expenses of taking over the new territory will be great, but Hammond's taxable valution will be increased by nearly a million collars. THE ONLY OTHER LARGE PIECE OF STRATEGY THAT COMPARES WITH THIS WAS THE ANNEXATION OF THE TERRITORY THAT GAVE HAMMOND ITS LAf?E MICHIGAN FRONTAGE. If these annexation moves force amalgamation the history of the Calumet district will record no more important event than the union of the communities that will make the future big city of North Township the real center, the real metropolis of this great industrial district in Indiana and Illinois. AND STILL THEY ASK, "WHAT HAS SMALLEY DONE?" Why SmaMey has tackled and accomplished things cf this sort that cny a man of hit ability and Intelligence could do. Imagine the city In the hands of a mayor who would take the position, "What do we want to annex any more territory for?''; a man who would fail to appreciate the larger aspects of the situation. We can conceive of a mayor who might improve the streets before the permanent sewers were installed and create the Impression of progressiveness, and still fail utterly when it came to grasping the larger problems of the city's development. BROWN IS ABSOLUTELY AN UNKNOWN QUANTITY. There is not a department store proprietor, a big business man, a manufacturer in the region who would turn over the management of their business to Brown, or he would long since have been snapped up by one of them. THEN WHY SHOULD HE BE SERIOUSLY CONSIDERED FOR THE TREMENDOUS JOB OF BUILDING UP AND MANAGING A GREAT MUNICIPAL CORPORATION WHOSE ANNUAL EXPENDITURES AGCREGATE $750,000 a year in all deoartments.

"FOUR MINUTE" WOMEN JOI LOYALTY WORK Hammond now has a division of Four-Minuto Women. Pnrig the Liberty Pond drives the Four-Minute Men did very well for they were talking about something on which they were reasonably informed. For instance. A. M. Turner, president of the First National bank. IX J. Moron and Judge V. K. Reiter of the Four-Minute Men committee had no difficulty in convincing the public that the Liberty Bon : was as good as gold and the surest Investment In the world because they knew beyond any Question of doubt what they were talking aboutWith the Liberty Bond issue over the top the Four-Minute men were up against a proposition which they were not equal to. It was the food sonservation campaifin more important than raiting armies, money or knitting sweaters. Food conservation today is paramount. It is the one thing that every man, woman or child that wants America to win must think seriously about. The banks of the country can't conserve the food supply. The rich men can't save the wheat, meat and sugar. They con only do their rart. But every man. woman and child rich or poor must aid or it will amount to nothing. Because the women know more about food conservation than the men pretend to, the Four-Minute Men committee called upou them to carry on the campaign of education in fammond. And without franchise, as they are. the women responded gladly. Attorney D. J. Moran, a member of the Four-Minute Men who sent Attorneys Oonroy, MoAleer. Whinery and others into the theatre to speak for the bond drive, said todfi of food conservation that it is the most important of all campaigns. "The war will be won by the people with the last loaf of bread," he said. "If we could induce the people of the T'nited States to save To per cent of the wheat, sugar, meats and fats they would normally use the coming year it would be a more powerful factor in winning the war than anything else."
