The Questions Asked by Chairman Bavis The City administration and the special citizens committee which is handling the light question have issued a statement through Chairman Alfred Bavis, setting forth the reasons why the city should proceed with the plan for the purchase of the L., H. & P. Co. as outlined in the resolution adopted by the city council on the 19th of April. The questions propounded by the committee and the answers in defense of their action were published in the Palladium last evening. The questions are reproduced with other answers substituted. Question 1: Will the removal of the Light,

Heat & Power Company from the electric field

of Richmond wipe out competition?

Answer: It probably will, but the buying of the plant at this time is a very expensive way of accomplishing the result, especially since the city has not had an opportunity to try out competition after the establishment of uniform rates for both plants. Question 2: Will it not place the city plant in politics? Answer: It will not change conditions politically from what they are now, except that the plant will be larger and there will be more opportunity to hand out political jobs. Civil service rules might apply during any one administration but one administration cannot bind a successor. When a new mayor is elected, he can, if he sees fit, put in an entirely new set of men. There is no state law which will prohibit this action and there is no immediate prospect of the legislature passing such a law, at least not in the next two years. Question 3: Ought we to buy a bankrupt plant ? Answer: We ought not, unless we could get it at bankrupt prices, which the commission will not take into consideration in fixing a value on the Light, Heat & Power Company's plant. Question 4 : Would it not be better to put the Light, Heat & Power Company out of business by the "freezing out" process? Answer: The "freezing out" process isonly a law of business which is the survival of the fittest. When the Light, Heat & Power Company entered this field it was with the understanding that it would abide by that rule. If the municipal light plant was installed and then driven out of business, it would be very acceptable to them and if their light plant was driven out by the municipal plant, it must accept the results. The money of the Light, Heat & Power Company investors was advanced with that understanding. Question 5: Is there any danger of the city having to pay more as a result of an over issue of stock? Answer: No, this question has never been disputed by anyone; it does not enter into the valuation of any public utility. Question 6: What effect will the taking of the plant have on natural gas rates? Answer: It will undoubtedly be the means of an increase in natural gas rates, because after the commission takes away 25 per cent of the overhead charge for the administration of the

affairs of the company in Richmond, without giving the company anything in return, it will be in a position where it will be compelled to grant a raise in rates, at least sufficient to meet' the loss in revenue, otherwise the law would work a hardship unjustly on the company. Question 7: Why wouldn't it be better to

defer this matter until a later date : Answer: There would be nothing for the city to lose by waiting a year before it purchased the plant. At the end of that time the city would havp mnre mnnpv on hand with which to buy,

and a large part of the indebtedness on the mu-

nicipal light plant would nave Deen paia on. m the meantime the city will have had the benefit of uniform rates by the commission and one year of competition on that basis. After the rates are established the argument will be all on

the side of the municipal ngnt piant as every Laxpayer in the city is a stockholder in that plant. The city will be in better shape to buy the plant at the end of one year than it is at the present time and the company will be just that much more anxious to sell. The parent company is not going to continue forever to put up for a deficit for the Light, Heat & Power Company. It will seek other fields. Last, but not least, this is a poor time to spend $200,000 without knowing what the results will be.

Italian Battleship Napoli

The Oliver P. Morton Statue It took America many years before she turned her attention to the conservation of her natural resources. When she appreciated their worth, it was found that many of them had been squandered ruthlessly and shamelessly. Now she is trying to hold for future generations what remains of them. America is young compared with Europe, but in the brief span of her national history, events of great importance to her existence, development and expansion have taken place. Events of supreme importance to the nation and to humanity have taken place in the United States. Great men, who shaped the course of national existence

have appeared, done their work, and been called to the great beyond. There are few counties in Indiana that have so much valuable historical matter, so many places of abiding worth, than has Wayne county. Here Oliver P. Morton, Indiana's gjreat war governor was born. From Wayne county came some of the leaders in the Civil war. Through Wayne county runs the National Road over which thousands of pioneers traveled to settle the lands north and south of that highway. Over it came some of the men and women who made names for themselves in the West. The history of this road is to be commemorated by the efforts of the National Old Trails Road Association to have the government take over the highway and make it a national thoroughfare. William Dudley Foulke in his address before the Wayne County Historical society, sounded an appeal for the conservation of historical data in Wayne county that deserves to be heeded. Nothing tangible in Wayne county calls attention to its greatest son, Oliver P. Morton, illustrious war governor, and friend of Abraham Lincoln. A statue' in his honor ought to be placed somewhere in the county. The old Morton homestead ought .to belong to the Historical society and be a place where relics of the pioneers could be kept on public display. Mr. Foulke's suggestion that if the county commissioners refuse to buy a statue, money should be raised by private subscription, is a good one. Wayne county needs to conserve her historical data. It is her duty to keep alive the memory of her great men. Let her begin with Oliver P. Morton, and erect a statue worthy of his achievements and his service for the Union.
