I Continued from page One quit the meeting, but on his way out be stopped by Ashe's chair. "I want to thank you for the implied insult," he said significantly and in tones audible to those sitting nearby. In the hallway outside Bavis expressed himself freely. "It was a studied insult delivered in a public place," he said with heat. "I regard it as an attempt to discredit me and I think it was inspired by petty politics." Are Not Political Friends Bavis and Ashe have not been political friends. The plaint of the coal dealer was voiced in the hearing by C. S, Heath, manager of the Hackman-Klehfoth company, and by .B. B. .Johnson, proprietor of the Independent Ice and

Fuel company. . .They said they regarded the present prices as being the resnlt of an organized gouge. Postmsfter Beck. Dr. S. E. Smith, superintendent of Kaethaven, Superintendent of fcJiool Giles end Pettis A. Reid, m? mber of the school board, told of the coal situation as it applies to their institutions. Giles said the beard had contracted for its next winter'3 coal supply at $7 a ton. The price paid this year was $3.50 a ton. Reid supplemented his statement by saying that only one dealer had presented a bid for next year's supply. Oppose Freight Increase William H. Kelley, representing the Wayne Ice company, precipitated a discussion of an Increase of freight rates. He said he opposed giving the railroads an Increase until they demonstrated their ability to furnish the service which they had contracted to furnish. John M. Lontz spoke in favor, of the proposed increase in the interests of fair play to the railroads. "How can they furnish additional equipment when the prices of steel have increased so tremendously?" he asked. "As a manufacturer we pay more than S5 per cent, of the freight charges on our products but I am eager to comply with the railroad's request." - A poll was taken on the question of whether the roads should be granted the increase. All but two of the men

present raised their hands to signify they favored complying with the request. Car. Shortage is Phantom F. J. Stimson, superintendent of the Richmond division, and P. C. Sprague, division freight agent, spoke for the railroads. "I regard the car shortage as - a phantom rather than a real shortage," Stimson said. "If we were to be able to furnish all the cars our shippers wanted for a week the current supply would care for business from then on." E. E. 'Johnston, of Connersvllle, a large consumer of coal, told of his experiences in buying coal.

"We couln't get coal under our con

tract because of an alleged car shortage," he said. "But when we went into the open market and offered to buy It at the exorbitant price demanded we could get all we wanted and we heard nothing of a car shortage." Howard A. Dill, manager of the City Water company, and City Attorney Bond also testified.

FORUM HEARS BIGELOW TALK

Off BASIC LAW

RevHerberfS. Blgelow, of. Cincinnati, "Father of the Ohio Constitution," urged 125 members,, of the Wayne County Constitutional Forum last night to support the initiative and referendum in' the new Indiana basic law. He was speaking before the Discussion Supper of the Forum at the Y. M. C. A. He-advocated the reform because of its educational alue. "I was not deceived when I worked for the initiative and referendum .into thinking that the masses are more virtuous or intelligent than their representatives. I regard the chief value of direct legislation as being in s educational force," he said. Blgelow urged that the Indiana constitution be made easily amendable. Can't Draft Perfect Laws. "No constitution can be made good," he said. "No set of wise men is wise enough to draft a good constitution. It must grow. And to provide for

growth of a good constitution ft is necessary to make it easily amendable." Others who spoke were Judge W. H. Eichorn, ofJJhiffton, who urged judicial reform; Ross F. Lockridge, of Indianapolis, who advocated the recall; Theodore F. Thieme, of Fort Wayne, a home rule , for cities advocate; Charles Remey, of . Indianapolis, who pleaded for tax reforms; Mrs. W. O. Lewis, of. Richmond, .who presented the claims of equal suffrage; and Edward Toner of Anderson, who suggested that the people be permitted to vote on each section of the new charter separately. . " These speakers presented a symposium on questions which are to be considered by the constitutional convention. William Dudley Foulke presided. Pleads for Equitable Tax. Remey pleaded for an equitable tax law, which should force all of the property owners in the state to pay taxes. ' "When our constitution was drawn there was no intangible property, hence the intangible property which can be hid is not taxed," he said. Ross F. Lockridge, secretary of the Indiana Citizenship League, urged adoption of the recall in the new basic law. He said: "Either our public servants in the past have been faithful and honest or impeachment is a failure. "Impeachment is nearly impossible. Why, during the Terre Haute episode

of a couple years ago some men who

were being boarded by the federal gov

ernment at Leavenworth sought to

draw their salaries from Vigo county.

They had difficulty in impeaching

Donn Roberts." Theodore F. Thieme said: "At this time when we are waging a war . for the democratizing of the world one people are going to think more and more of democratizing our cities. When our constitution was drawn 65 years ago there were no cities, hence the lack of, proper attention to their needs in the basic law."
