Mayor, Zimmerman has called a aaeetlng ot council, the finance committee and -sinking fund commission for Friday night, when a final discuseon of the budget and tax rate will take Place. Other than few minor changes, however, it Is probable these Important ordinances will be present4 to council at the next meeting in practically their present form. For New Crematory. A number of appropriations' will have to be made aggregating $22,000, Including building and bridge Improve ments, which will not again be necessary In twenty years, it Is stated.

The Doran bridge to be refloored and painted; the Main street bridge painted; North Tenth and North Twelfth . atreet bridges refloored, and two wooden bridges In Happy Hollow extensively repaired. A sum of $3,000 will be necessary to put a new root on the city building, 'which has been a source of constant annoyance tfe city officials for several years.

An appropriation of $2,500. for a street roller and a new sweeper and prtnkler, has been asked by the v vmvywm iuivuv caaava IH ti; jri VIT ably be granted, tor the present equipment of this kind Is practically useless from age. The boiler of the present road roller Is in bad condition and is aid to be a source ot danger to the engineer. The appropriation for the Reid Memorial hospital, which is made each year by council, will be decreased $500, as the hospital board only asked tvaat (lanaMmafit an mrill was wveMtt$2,500. Last year the appropriation was. $3,000 and two years ago $6,000. The hospital is gradually becoming a self sustaining institution, through the efforts of the trustees, and they hope within a few years that no aid ' from the city will be required. Other amounts to be appropriated In the different departments are practically the same as In. past years. However, all the departments are required to cut their appropriations to the low 'st amount, and at the two private meetings held by council and the finance committee, these amounts ' were trimmed down still more. The proposed appropriations In the budget are as follows: APPROPRIATIONS. Department of Finance.

ORDINANCE CAUSE OF GENERAL COMPLAINT But Since Its Amendment, It Will Be Acceptable to the Residents of County Outside of City. To eliminate farmers from being taxed under the vehicle license ordinance, an amendment to , the original ordinance was passed by city council last night The amendment Btates: ' "No license shall be required on vehiclea owned by persons ' living without the city, except those engaged in manufacturing or mercantile business; on vehiclea used for hauling goods In 'and out of the city; on vehicles used by persons outside of the city in going to their respective places of business within the city and on vehicles used for hauling ice. sand, gravel, stone upontbe streets of Richmond."

"The Chautauqua is a pretty good thing." said Councilman Will Bartel, coming to the defense of the associa tion, "and we ought to go pretty slow in condemning it.

RESULT IU MAINE WAS HOT VICTORY FOR EITHER SIDE Senator Beveridge Today Says Repudiation of Republican Ticket Was a Non-partisan Victory.

SAYS MAINE PEOPLE OPPOSED THE TARIFF And the Old Time Party Leaders Refused to Recognize Tremendous Progress Made by Voting Class. (Palladium Special' Indianapolis. Sept. 13. Senator Albert J. Beveridge. who Is familiar with the situation In Maine, having opened the campaign there four years ago and has made many subsequent speeches in that state, today expressed bis views on the democratic victory as follows: "The result in Maine was neither democratic nor republican it was non-partisan. I am familiar with the people of Maine because I have spent several summers there. They are con servative, well informed, determined "The old time politicians absolutely refused to admit the tremendous proegress, mental and moral, among the people and the complete abandonment by the people of the old time partisan methods. Both Maine senators and all the Maine congressmen were ar dent supporters of the Payne-Aldrich tariff bill, and Senator Hale has been Its most determined advocate and defender. Therefore the voters of Maine have repudiated this leadership, which so emphatically misrepresented them; and the only way they had an oppor tunity to do this was by voting for the opposition candidates. A Leader Was Needed. "Had there been one public man in the republican party of Maine ot the type of Bass of New Hampshire, or Osborn of Michigan, or Johnson of California who, stood for the progres sive ideas tharare"the very life of thef republican party, the voters of Maine would have rallied around him. "Four years ago I opened the Maine republican campaign at . Portland on the 22nd of August. Portland was supposed to be the stronghold of what was then called "stand pattlsm." told them that I intended to declare for a revision of the tariff, and was earnestly urged not to do so. Among other things, I was told that the audience would be hostile to such a declaration. Nevertheless I did declare for tariff revision, and to my surprise as well as to the astonishment of the politicians, that declaration met the approval of the people and press of the state. "The result in Maine, I repeat, la not partisan. It is not democratic, not republican, but non-partisan." WORK FOR SENATOR Secretary of Bricklayers' Union, a Democrat, Is a Hot Beveridge Man. WANTS TO ENCOURAGE HIM (Palladium Special) Indianapolis, Sept 13 William Dobson, secretary of the Bricklayers' and Masons International Union of America, which has headquarters In Indianapolis, Is a democrat, who is out working for the republican legislative ticket because 'he desires the return of Senator Beveridge to the senate. He says he is for Beveridge and that labor men cannot afford to be otherwise. He declared: "I am a democrat but I am independent when it comes to voting for the man who makes good in the service of all the people. I like John Kern, personally. I would be glad to see him promoted to office. But I am for Senator Beveridge. The election of Mr. Kern or any other - man to office against Senator Beveridge would mean iu effect that the people Intend to punish him for working in the people's cause. I do not think we can afford to permit Mr. Beveridge to be punished for doing right. I take it that there would be small encouragement for the honest and sealous public servant in such a result in the Indiana election this year. I am working for the election of the republican legislative ticket. A republican legislature will reelect Senator Beveridge. A democratic legislature would defeat him. I believe Senator Beveridge win be reelected. The people are for him. The people will see to it that he gets a square deal. THE WEATHER. STATE Generally fair in Northern ' portion, unsettled, preather In the South portion; Wednesday cooler. LOCAL Partly cloudy tonight and Wednesday. Cooler tonight.

The mayor stated there is only one crossing In the city properly guarded and that Is the Pennsylvania crossing at Eighth street He said most of the crossings were guarded by cripples and men infirm from, age, who were likely to go to sleep "on their Jobs."

Carroll, for criminal libel, which has been postponed to September. 26. Carroll is accused of libeiing John Cownie. Cownie's friends are insurgent and even Senators Cummins and Dolllver are so much . In fear of the damage they, can do to the. party in the state in case Carroll is convicted, that they have come out strongly for Carroll's re-election despite the fact that he is a standpatter. Should he be convicted, it is certain that Carroll's candidacy is lost That would mean a democratic governor, with the chances of a democratic legislature and the resultant defeat . of Cummins and Dolliver.
