REFUSES POSITION ON POLICE FORCE eSSBSsSMBBaBaiBBaaBaBBBBaaBt Guy Hinson Says He Does ! Not Want Place Harper Appointed.

Guy Hinson, who was appointed patrolman to succeed Harry Otte who will take Roy Wenger's place as patrol driver, announced to the police commissioners yesterday that he did not want the position. B. F. Harper, 443 South Thirteenth street, was appointed for the place. Hinson did not give his reasons for not wanting to be patrolman although for some time he has been trying to get the appointment. ; Harper is six feet, one inch in height and weighs 175 pounds. He will report for duty tonight on the beat which Otte formerly patrolled.

BY E8THER GRIFFIN WHITE. Attention is called to the passage of

the housing bill.

This is a measure in whose Interests Mrs. Albion Fellows Bacon, of Evansville, has been working for years. It is one of the best things the legislature has done this session the passage of this bill and Mrs. Bacon has won her long fight. . . And It has been a fight. For seven years this woman has labored indefatigably. She has succeeded in getting the bill before three legislatures.

And it must be remembered that the Indiana Legislature meets but once in two years. Hence opportunities for consideration of reform or any other measures for that matter are not as recurrent as in those states which are inflicted with an assembly every year. The housing bill is a humanitarian measure. And, if rigorously enforced, will do

much toward stamping out certain diseases. Tuberculosis, in instance. Under this law it will be impossible for owners of property to longer rent houses that are not habitable. That is, strict rules as to sanitation are to be enforced, or can be enforced through the operations of this law. And houses unfit for people to live in can be condemned.

Of course this bill met stubborn and bitter opposition from the real estate interests. And a big lobby defeated its passage at the time of the last Legislature. The lobby was on deck this year. And, for a time, things looked dark for the success of the bill. But it was finally pushed through. This is the history of beneficent legislation. Anything that in any wise affects

private interests meets with opposi

tion. !

And "private interests" does not

mean necessarily corporations.

It may mean a business man round

the corner.

Or a retired farmer with some real

estate holdings.

People here in Richmond who em

ploy girls in their stores and shops

went over to Indianapolis, in instance, to try and defeat the eight hour law for women. The eight hour law did not pass, as everybody knows. Not, of course, because of the opposition of the men In this town alone, but the combination of such men from over the state. These men, too, were allied in some cases with the Progressives, in whose platform appeared declarations in favor of the eight hour law. No doubt they may have been sin

cere in supporting this platform when they lined up with the Progressives

at the polls.

But it was quite another thing, don't you know, when they found it would

affect their own personal business. Theory is one thing. Practice another.

Campaign enthusiasm is also one

thing.

Post-campaign action also quite an

other.

It is a mighty nice thing to go to .a big political meeting, help whoop it up,

furiously applaud the noble sentiments of the orator and pose as a disinterest

ed patriot.

But "business is business."

And, as you can readily see, this measure would seriously interfere

with our . "Profits?" "Well, put it that way, if you like

Of course I am for the shorter working hour where it can be arranged

without detriment to our " And so on. It was thus with the housing bill.

Those whose support was promised

were lukewarm and lack lustre when

it came to something that might affect

their property ownership.

What if the sink needs repairing? Supposing the roof does leak? Even if there is no sewer connection there's a front porch. If the bedrooms are dark, why there's a window clear across the house in the parlor. Well, anyway, we can rent this all the time and that goes to show that it's fit to live in or it would be empty. Specious reasoning. As the owner and the auditor both know. Under the provisions of this law,

houses will not only bave to be in sanitary condition but kept so. And herein lies a difficulty with which conscientious property owners have to wrestle.

The majority of property o.vners are

honest. They invest their money in real

estate and want an adequate monetary return. They therefore realize it is to their best interests to keep their houses in good condition and fitted out with what is known as the modern conveniences. But they have to combat the carelessness and selfishness of tenants. The latter are apt to think the landlord or landlady is a mere machine for the renter's manipulation. Is there a nail lose in the back-step?

Telephone at once for a carpenter to come and pound it in. Are we tired of the wall paper pattern put on six months ago at our own request? Say we'll move out unless it's changed. And what if we don't keep the house as clean as the contract requires? Isn't this our own house as long as

as best suits his comfort and convenience? Is not the request of the landlord an outrage? Isn't the landlady a mean old thing? "Why can't we pound in that nail

ourselves?"

"Well w don't own this house and

if the man who does is too stingy to

send a carpenter over here to make necessary repairs why the house'll have to go to rack and ruin. Don't we pay rent? What does he expect anyway"

The truth is the way of the owner

of real estate is a thorny one.

And he has to combat all sorts of

conditions made by the renter. Many of the latter leave houses in such unsanitary condition that a complete overhauling from cellar to attic is necessary As the writer understands the provisions of this bill, however, both landlord and renter are protected. The whole housing matter, with everybody concerned therewith, is punched one notch higher in the human consideration scale. And it is a blow at the dissemina

tion of disease. For houses which

THE PALLADIUM CHART tj The Palladium Chart is laid off in units only, and rates can be figured between any two given points in the United States by laying a foot rule on the Chart and finding the distance in inches between the two points on the map. Then lay rule on the printed scale shown on the chart and the zone and parcels post rate between the two points is automatically computed. Thus the distance between Richmond and Pittsburg is 2 inches. This distance on the scale shows that Pittsburg falls in the 3rd zone, the rate being 7 cents for the first pound and 5 cents for each additional pound. CJ Many other charts are laid off in zones radiating from a particular city or "unit Those being put out by the Indianapolis papers for instance have the zones (marked by red circular lines) radiating from the Indianapolis unit. Rates from Wayne county points cannot be figured intelligently from such a chart. Nor could a chart made with the zones radiating from Richmond be used intelligently at other points in Wayne County. CJ The Palladium Chart is 28x36 inches in size and in addition to the map, scales, rates, etc., contains full information regarding the Parcels Post System.
