GORDON TALKS ON THE LEGISLATURE BEFORE Y, M. B, C

Former Richmond Editor Calls Body Just Adjourned One Above the Average in Honesty. (Continued From Tage One) TookH thut Hppoar unjust to tlnni? Jlut Iihvo thy any ipRltiniato comjiliiint?

I tut the HvrraM' legislator tries to do the square thins.

The Information they obtain Is usually obtained through some lobbyist at Indianapolis who has his axe to grind und who sends out circulars portraying the awful effects this bill would liave If passed, or bow the fate of the nation Is hung up awaiting the passngp of that bill. The letter head lieara th imprint of some manufacturers association, and the average IniHlncKH man thinks therefore it is gospel truth and he acts umu the advice therein, if he acts at all, and writes his representative to play into the hands "of the lobbyists for some pcclal interest.

"That Is as far as the business man or manufacturer usually ro, and as a reHult our laws are written by traction Interests, telephone Interests, large cororatlon having a monopoly of their Industry In view or by the labor unions. "Why nhoiild not this club employ a bright, honest, energetic man. who has had hi eye teeth out and who can grasp a situation, mix with men and get ut fncta to represent the business Interests tf Richmond at the next legislature? A lobbyist, per se. Is not a crook or undesirable. It is so thought because legitimate business concerns have permitted those with a sinister motive to do all tho lobbying. Hut there are men who attend the legislative sessions as the paid representatives of concerns that are honorable men and their lobbying is above relroaeh. Why should not this club have such a man at the next session of the legislature, to represent the business Interests of Richmond, to act as a bureau of .Information for the business men of Ihls city, keep them Informed regarding proposed laws and In turn be authorized to express the viewa of Richmond's business Interests to the members of the legislature from Wayne county? It would be an Innovation for the average business man, but I think the result would be gratifying and it would furnish a uplendld example that would soon be emulated by every commercial and business organization In the state."

He referred to the Water Works quest ion and declared that ever.vone should come forward with suggestions, for that would be the only way in which it could be satisfactorily settled. He said that the idea was, and presumably he was speaking from the standpoint of the city authorities, for the city to secure an Interest in the company with a view of ultimately acquiring control, or at least to secure sufficient interest to enable the city to receive a share of the company's earnings. The question of franchises was also taken up by the city attorney, lie said that this question would soon be come one of immense importance, as' the gas franchise would expire within a few years, and the city would be facing the problem of granting another franchise. He said that under the law. the city could advertise within a period of two years before the expiration of the franchise for new companies to submit bids for the supply of gas. He expressed the opinion that this would be the only way in which the matter could be adjusted with satisfaction and suggested that the club look into the matter of such advertising as a field for wok. Mr. Gardner declared that money spent by the city in macadamizing streets was money wasted. He favors permanent improvements. A Business Session. Previous to the talks by Mr. Gordon and City Attorney Gardner, a brief business session was held and several matters of more or less importance considered. It was voted to instruct the treasurer to meet the deficit incurred by the Sixth District Short Course and Corn School, held in February, out of the club's funds. The deficit amounts to $1S,". , Authority was given to the committee appointed to investigate the "home problem," to cooperate with the Commercial club committee and form a company for the purpose, of erecting a number of houses for persons of moderate means. Announcement was made that a conference was to be held some time this week with W. H. Fludderjohn. general manager of the Fort Wayne and Springfield Traction company, regarding the proposed new line between Cnion City and Cincinnati by way of Richmond. The final report or the Fall Festival committee was submitted by Secretary Will W. Reller. showing the affairs of this event to have been satisfactorily settled.

HAMMOND PREDICTS A GOOD FRANCHISE Says Citizens Will Be Satisfied with Water Contract to Be Made.

In a conversation on the water works situation this morning. President II. M. Hammond of the board of works declared emphatically that the people of Richmond would get a good franchise. Whether the city and the Richmond City Water Works company would finally come to an agreement by which i he city might become a part owner of the plant, place a man on the board of directors, and obtain other concessions which the city is now seeking, Mr. Hammond refused to say definitely. However, his conversation led his auditors to believe that he himself was confident that this would be brought about. Hammond says that by offering the contract by bid another company, of course, may step in and underbid the local water works concern, but. this is not probable, inasmuch as the R. C. W. W. Co., has its pipes Installed, plant built, and a monopoly of the entire private consum ption. In case the company is underbid, it would be only on furnishing water to the city for lire plugs. Hammond says the present company could still furnish private consumers with water. When asked why the meetings had been kept secret, not only as to the business transacted, but the time and place, Hammond said he "didn't think it was anyone's business." SPECIAL MEETING OF CITY COUNCIL Mayor Zimmerman called a special public session of council for tonight, at S o'clock. The object of the meeting is to pass an ordinance authorizing the sale of the old engine at the municipal light plant and to appoint appraisers to fix its value. The engine is to be replaced by a r0 horsepower Hamilton Corliss engine, which has already been bought by Superintendent Johnson of the plant. Harvard has the greatest list of graduates of the colleges of the country. Could Hardly Sleep at Night for About 11 Months. Used Cuticura Soap and Ointment and was Completely Cured.

Three members, Elam Hill. M. T. N'ordyke and George R. Williams, are affected by this ruling. A large jiortion of the membership responded to the calling of their names when the roll was read and suitable exercises were held for the departed brethren. It was decided that the entire company should attend the state encampment to be held at Lafayette, August 7 to 12. Following the roll call and business of tiie evening the members of the rank were given a pleasant surprise when they were escorted by their wives and women friends to the lower floor of the hall, where they were banqueted in an elaborate manner.
