I HULL ULI1IO H HULL IN SERVICE PETITION

An increase in basic interurban passenger fare from 2 cents a mile to 3 cents is asked in petitions filed Wednesday with the public service commission by the Terre Haute, Indianapolis & Eastern Company, which operates lines from Indianapolis to Richmond, and the Indianapolis & Cincinnati Traction company. A similar petition will probably be filed this week by the "Union Traction company

of Indiana and by other traction lines operating in Indiana, Increased cost of operation resulting from a prospective increase of $1 a ton on coal, a 25 per cent increase In coal freight rates, a 25 per cent increase in material and supply costs since Jan. 1, 1920, and increases in labor costs are given as the basis for the fare increase. Commutation Proposal. The T. H., I. & E. proposes that commutation fares be on a basis of five-eights of the regular passenger rate with a minimum of $3.25 Tor 40 trips. As a result of increased costs the T. II ., I. & E. estimates that there will be a deficit this year as compared with 1919 of $303,767 in the company's net receipts. The proposed increase in fare would increase the gross revenue $200,000 a year, the company estimates. It is pointed out by the company that the net balance of 1919, which amounted to $62,232, will de decreased this year to $24,232, even if the 3-cent fare is n 1 1iviraH

The Theatres

WASHINGTON "Your ideas of neckwear would be popular on the gallows." Thus spoke Pop Audry to his Jap valet in a humorous scene in "Pinto," the new Goldwyn Picture starring Mabel Normand which is showing the last times today at the Washington Theatre. Pop Audry was a big, powerful man who had spent most of his years as a ranchman in Arizona. He was a good-natured, jovial person until lie had the misfortune to choose a wife. The climax was reached when his wife mistreated his ranch-girl ward, Pinto, and then flagrantly showed her affection for another man, a human blank draped with fashion's latest. Pop picked up bag and baggage, and returned to Arizona with Pinto, happy in the thought that no more would we have to put up with the dictates of convention, particularly that law which used to prompt his Jap valet to choke him into correct neckwear every evening.

the United States ot America that ' and that alone. "Out of the, war have come to us reconstruction problems, problems of industry, problems of Enance, problems indeed more important than any domestic problems which have confronted us in the last few decades. "Had I the power the first thin.' which I should do in this great government of ours would be to turn it back to its pristine principles, to the old constitution of our fathers. During the war, under its stress, we passed many laws very many laws. I would have passed more if success in the war required it, even though I sometimes hesitated at the passing of many of those we did pass; but we passed them that we might be successful in warfare, and with the passage of those laws we centralized power in one administratis'-.; we centralized power in one man at Washington. Autocracy Was Created. "We created under the very stern necessity of war a great autocracy in this country, in one man. I would remove it, remove that autocracy that thus under the stern necessity and he pressure of war was created, and I would take this nation back to the old American ideas and American ideals, decentralizing from the administration

those great war powers which were accorded it for the purpose of success in war. This is first what we could do and what we ought to do. "Behind every man today, every maif except him who has an independent fortune, stalks the dread spectre of want, becanse of the high cost of living. I cannot cure it. You cannot cure it. I know no panacea that is offered today that will suffice. "I do know that there has been a

saturnalia of expense in the past four years In Washington. Some of it was justified by the war. I justify, in frankness to you, some extravagance in time of war in the desire to do that which was essential for the winnine of the war, but there has been

an extravagance that passes human belief. Extravagance Must Cease. This saturnalia of extravagance that has been extant and rampant at Washington, ought to cease. It can be made to cease and 1 trust within a very few months it will be required to cease. Our appropriations have been made in log-rolling fashion. It can be prevented by a budget system, and I am delighted to say that Senator McCormick has pending in the senate now a budget bill which will check the flow of appropriations of the past and will require them to be made only in case of necessity and only in cases where they ought to be made in the future. "Overshadowing all the domestic issues of this campaign is another issue that becomes not alone domestic in character but international in char

acter, too. There is another issue that deals with your resources, that deals with your blood, and this impending issue, which is bound to be the issue In the coming campaign, must be met, not by men dodging, not by men saying that they will not permit it to become a part of American politics, but it must be met by red-blooded Americans and it must be met frankly.

courageously, fully, and determined

upon Amerlcani grounds. ' It is all well, enough for poOitlcians In Washington 'to say that th? league of nations issue shall net become a political issue. It is all well enough for men who are candidates for office to hide behind the clouds, as it were, and say with a great assumption of horror that they "vrill not permit that fatherhood of God' and brotherhood of man to bfecome the football of politics. People Must Decide. "Why should not the American people, American men and Ameclcan women, decide whether the American youth shall police the world or fight for boundary lines in Europe or in Asia? Who else shall decide when our blood is to be devoted to quarrels not our own? Who else shall determine that our treasure shall be devoted to controversies in which we have no interests

at all? You hsve a right to decide It, and it is your right not only your right to decide this issue it it comes before you this year, because finally it is you who, if .you enter this pact, must pay the price and bear the burden and the loss. When you must pay the price and be-ar the burden, who shall decide the Issue except the people themselves? "I believe that the best expression of Americanism Is in the constitution of the United States and that any departure from that constitution in the direction of Internationalism is a violation of all that we ought to mean by Americanism. The Americanism In which I believe and which I preach would maintain America as the arbiter of her own destiny. It would preserve this Republic in the form in which the fathers created it, modified only as the

Here is a new form of storage battery which from the standpoint of service to you, never wears out. This is a battery which gives ' unequalled service by a method that guarantees permanent service at a wonderfully reduced cost. This is how it is done: You lease a Paragon Battery and put it in service on your car. Then when the charge is exhausted, you stop at The Paragon Service Station, and we exchange a fully charged Paragon Battery (in perfect condition) for the one you've been using. This is the big fundamental idea behind Paragon SYSTEM. We replace your Paragon battery with another Paragon battery whenever you need such an exchange. We make these exchanges indefinitely for any number' of years. You get permanent service.
