BAVIS CRITICISES APATHY TOWARD CORPORATE 60EED

Using the merger of the two electric light plants as a text. Alfred Bavia, president of the board of public i. works, preached a sermon on the danJ ger of public apathy toward corporate greed, before the South Side Improvement association last night. "Gas rates went to seventy cents in Marlon, Muncie and Anderson because the people slept and the officials failed to fight," he exclaimed. "All over the country, the people are paying . high rates for public utilities to make possible dividends on watered stock." Mr. Bavis reviewed the reasons that led to the purchase of the. competing light plant, asserting that the pur- . chase was based on the business principle that there was no reason for letting two plants with two operating expenses produce what : one plant might do. No Competition Allowed. The only competition that could exist was In service, for the public servie commission fixed (he rates, precluding competition. Mr. Bavls went on to show that there should not be an Increase in gas rates because of the merger. He quoted from the decision of the public service commission to show that the losses sustained by the gas utility were covered In the purchase price of the electric light plant. "The argument of the Light, Heat and Power company is based on an insolvency plea. They have liabilities of $3S0,000, and they want the people of Richmond to pay part of them. By merging the plants the concern lo6t Asking the citizens through the inSOUTH SIDE ROLL HOLDS 427 NAMES Membership of the South Side Improvement association was swelled to 427 last evening when the following members were accepted: Harry Tubesing, Harmon Schuerman, M.:J.

DANGERS OF A COLD Richmond People Will Do Well to Heed Them. Many bad cases of kidney trouble result from a cold or chill. Congested .kidneys fall behind in filtering the roison-laden blood and backache, -headache, dizziness and disordered ; kidney action follow. Don't neglect a cold. Use Doan's Kidney Pills at the ' first sign of kidney trouble Follow this Richmond resident's example: F. P. Brooks, proprietor second hand store, 33 S. Fifth St., Richmond, says: "I had pain in my back and sides that seemed like lumbago. I -also bad rheumatic twinges and my kidneys were out of order. I used Doan's Kidney Pills, procured at Luken & Co. 's drug store, and they made me better." (Statement given April 24, '1912.) -' . On Sept. 13, 1915, Mr. Brooks said: "The only time I have any trouble S ith my kidneys is when I catch cold. .: I then use a box of Doan's Kidney Pills and always with good results." Price 50c, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy get Doan's Kidney Pills the same that Mr. Brooks has twice publicly recommended. Foster-Mllburn Co., Props.. Buffalo, N. Y. Adv.

CARTEL MAKES PLEDGE

Will Bartel, seeking the Republican nomination for . state representative last night pledged himself, If elected, to vote for an amendment to the public service act, preventing the issuance ot stock by corporations until the commission has made appraisement of its physical property. He balked at subscribing to a pledge for an amendment which would give the commission power to declare a corporation insolvent if its liabilities exceeded the value of its physical and tangible properties. The discussion about these questions took place at the South Side Improvement association meeting last night. WEST SIDERS THANKED FOR DRIDGE WORK Amicable "" relations ; between the South Side Improvement association and the South West Richmond - Improvement association were cemented last evening when the former passed a resolution thanking the west siders for their assistance in making possible the construction of a bridge in 1916 and pledging support for any undertaking the west siders may want to engage in. The text of the resolution follows: Whereas the South West Improvement association gave to this association its cordial, active and impartial assistance and co-operation in securing the prompt action .of the board of county commissioners in locating the South Side bridge, " f l Therefore, Be It resolved by the South Side Improvement association that a vote of thanks be and is hereby tendered said association for such assistance so given. Be it further, Resolved that we congratulate ourselves and our sister association that such cordial relations have been now established between us and that we hereby express the hope that they may continue and that we may at an early date be able to assist said association in some -worthy enterprise of particular interest to ier. Be it further Resolved, That a vote of thanks be given to the committee $11,000 In its gas business, but it is creased rates to pay $50,000 for this loss. They are going to have a fight on hands to put that across." The annual report of the superintendent of ' the' municipal plant was adduced to show that power could be manufactured for less than one "cent nor kilowat and tK&t a one cent rate could be offered faetories. EN'S - Stomach Troubles The Great Woman's Medi- . cine Often Just What Is Needed. We are so used to thinking1 of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound as a remedy exclusively for female ills that we are apt to overlook the fact that it is one of the best remedies for disorders of the stomach. For stomach trouble, of women it is especially adapted, as it works in complete harmony with the' female organism, since it contains the extracts of the best tonic roots and herbs. . It tones up the digestive system, and increases the appetite and strength. Here is what one woman writes showing; what this medicine does: Newfield, N. Y. "I am so pleased to say I can recommend Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound as an economical and beneficial remedy in most ailments pertaining to women. At least I found it so by only taking two bottles. I had indigestion in a bad form and I am now feeling in the best of health and owe it all to Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound." Mrs. Burr Williams, R.D.No.29, Newfield, N.Y. Many women suffer from that "air gone feeling," and "feel so faint," while doing their work. Ten chances to one their digestive system is all out of order. A tablespoonful of Lydia E Pinkham's -Vegetable Compound after ef.ch meal should completely remedy this condition in a few days.

South Side Thanks Commissioners Body . The South Side Improvement association extended the following vote of thanks to the county commissioners: '"Whereas, The board of county commissioners of this county on Saturday, February 12, 1916, upon the petition of this association - and the' Southwest Richmond Improvement association, took action and located the south side bridge. Therefore, be it "Resolved, By the South Side Improvement association that a vote of thanks be tendered said board of county commissioners for its prompt action upon said petition and for its action in determining to commence the erection of said bridge in the year 1916,' as prayed for in said petition of said two-associations. Be It further ' ."Resolved, That the location of said bridge South G street is entirely satisfactory to this association and meets with' its entire approval. Be It further : . '.. "Resolved, That the secretary of this association be and hereby is instructed to spread a copy of this resolution upon the minutes of this association and that he send a copy of the same to said board of county commissioners."

"Is the public service commission a good one?" queried Mr. Bartel. "It hurts my feeling that you think I am so destitute and devoid of common sense,to answer such a question," came the warm retort of Mr. Bavis. "As a public official I cannot answer." Mr. Bartel said he had little faith in the commission, which brought Bavis to his feet with the reply: "So far the dealings of the coramissionwith the, people of Richmond have been fair. It saved the people $48,000 annually in the water works decision. I believe it made- us pay a big . price for the .electric light plant, but the commission is good." M. J. von Pein said there was too much law in the United States. i ''at.- - , -f

"I do not know exactly what action the city - will now take," City Clerk Bescher said today. "Although I have not been informed I would not be surprised if a decision was reached to finance the purchase project bythe issuance of short term bonds.

to accept the temporary loan awarded us by the city,"- President Charles W. Jordan of the German-American . ban said. "We were Informed that 'there were legal technicalities involving this loan which might require court interpretations." . - It is understood that the attorneys with this bank coincided with the views of, A. M. Gardner, attorney for the Dickinson Trust company, and John L. Rupe, attorney for the Second National bank, that because no . provision had been made for an appropriation of tax funds to be applied toward the purchase of the privately owned plant the temporary loan of $85,000 recently authorized by the city council was invalid. The only attorney who . agreed with City Attorney Bond that council's action , was legal was C. E. Shiveley, representing the First National bank. That bank, however, did not submit a bid for the loan. Attorney Gardner holds to the opinion that the only way the city can now finance the purchase project is . to issue bonds. If an $85,000 bond issue is authorized the city's credit will be advanced to within' $50,000 of its legal indebtedness limit. - i

organization on its victory. None of the pomp, the smug self-laudation, the vapid eulogy that usually attends a celebration of this kind. ; Only one sentence was spoken that -pertained directly to the celebration and that was by President Blickwedel, who crowded into a few words the sentiment of the whole association. Bavis Expresses Thanks. "I cannot express my thanks and that of the association for the location of the bridge at South G street, after all these years of fighting." : His were the words of a true citizen. He and his organization with victory in their grasp, were thankful but not vain.: The bridge had been won ; other problems now took - its place. - - Mr. Blickwedel then called for the

report or the joint on age committee of the south siders and the southwest association. Henry Bode, its chairman, reviewed the presentation of the peti tion before the county commissioners. The South West Richmond Im provement association - was represented by John Lux, Charles Hunemeier, Jacob Robbies, John A. Reed and A. C. Brown. - - Resolutions Adopted. A motion was passed to put the resolution adopted last evening in a bridge abutment. It was also suggest ed the tablet on the bridge show the names of the bridge committee. - John Reed, speaking for the west side contingent said his association was satisfied with G street, but that never again would he permit himself to go before the commissioners muz zled. The south' side association voted to help the west siders obtain the open ing of D street. - Mr. Bavis congratulated the asso ciation on the diplomatic manner in which the bridge problem was handled E. H. Hart is spoke along the same lines and lauded the work of. Mr, Ba vis. Dr. J. M. Wampler said he was glad he was a member of the associa tion. Hans Koll said the bridge would be of greater benefit' to the west siders than to the south. EMZMABILE Hig)!! of TAoroa friendly
