THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUN-TELEGRAM Published Every Evening Except Sunday by Palladium Printing Co. Palladium Building, North Ninth and Sailor Streets. Entered at the Post Office at Richmond, Indiana, as Second-Class Mail Matter.

All rights of republication of special dispatches herein are also reserved. Money Worries of the Cities Richmond is not the only city in the United States with financial worries. Chicago tried to interest bankers in a loan of $12,000,000 on school tax 5 per cent anticipation warrants, but was turned down. An effort made a few weeks ago to borrow $15,000,000 on 6 per cent corporate tax anticipation warrants also met with a resounding rebuff. Chicago bankers bluntly told city authorities to keep their expenses within the revenue. A city's credit, they said, is determined identically as is that of the individual. Banks will not extend loans to spendthrifts who have a penchant for spending more than they earn, neither will they permit extravagant municipalities to borrow money. Richmond is perilously near the limit of its ability to borrow money. Rigid economy must be the watchword in all departments if the city is not to "go broke." A loan of $40,000 to meet

general municipal expenses for the current yeari

illustra'tes the depleted state of the treasury. J

with this in mmd, the conservative citizen will not insist on public improvements or increased expenditures, for the only method whereby the requisite revenue can be raised is by floating bond issues or increasing the tax rate. The tax rate is high enough as it is. If the city could float bond issues, the citizens would have to pay interest annually on the bonds, which ultimately would mean increased taxes, and in the end the taxpayer would have to raise enough money to retire the issue. To escape increased taxation the city must keep its expenditures within the revenue that is raised by the present tax levy and other sources of income. There is no other way out. Every dollar that is borrowed must be repaid, principal and interest, and the taxpayer is the individual who will bear the brunt of the payment. Some improvements are absolutely necessary to protect the city. The proposed bond issue of

$275,000 to purchase new equipment for the municipal light plant is legitimate, even in a period of excessively high prices and with the city in a bad way financially. If the improvements made possible by the bond issue are not made, the plant will soon deteriorate and be unable to provide continuous service, so that this expenditure is a public necessity of the highest order. But other improvements that can go over for a year should be postponed by all means. The municipal government must be administered with the greatest economy in its history, and the best thought of the community focused on all its functions to prevent leaks and throttle unnecessary expenditures. Just as a wise man frugally husbands his dollars by cutting down expenses, so must the municipality not only exercise economy but also scrutinize carefully 'every purchase made with dollars that have lost fully 50 per cent of their purchasing power. This is a municipal platform with which no citizen can find fault and which recommends itself to every taxpayer. .Taxes can be kept where they are now if the city authorities pledge themselves to a program of economy. And the full consummation of this program depends in no small measure upon the taxpayer who will not advocate measures adding to the burden of a treasury already staggering under a heavy load.

Where Are the Empty Freight Cars? Rumors are flying thick and fast that the shortage of freight cars is an artificial one produced by railroad officials themselves. Empties are shunted from one division to another, switched on sidetracks, or needlessly held up in repair yards, is the gist of the rumor that holds the roads themselves responsible for the freight congestion which is stifling production and preventing distribution. The charges have been repeated so often and have grown so immensely in the telling that it behooves railroad officials to come into the open with a statement of facts and figures showing exactly where the freight cars are and how many of them are actually in use. If the rumor develops into fact, the government should lose no time in instituting prosecutions that will prevent forever a repetition of a

situation inimical in its effect on manufacture!

and commerce and potentially freighted with the stuff that creates social and industrial unrest.

Answers to Questions V ; J E. M. What Is the Tammany Society? The Tammany society is a Democratic political organization in New York City, named' in honor of St. Tammany or Tamanend, a noted Indian chief. It was founded May 12, 1789, for benevolent and social purposes, but eventually became an important political body, controlling local and, to some extent, the state government, in the interests of the Democratic party. The society was formally chartered in 1805. This organization was formed in 1789, being the effect of a popular movement in New York, having primarily in view a counterweight to the so-called "aristocratic" society of Cincinnati. ' It was essentially anti-federalist or democratic in its character, and Its chief founder was William Mooney, an upholsterer and a native born American of Irish extraction. It took its first title from a noted, ancient, wise and friendly chief of the Delaware tribe of Indians, named Tammany, who had for the want of a better subject been canonized by the soldiers of the Revolution as the American patron saint. The first meeting was held May 12, 1789. The act of incorporation was passed in 1865. The grand sachem and thirteen sachems were designed to typify the president and the governors of the thirteen original states. William Mooney was the first grand sachem. The society is normally a charitable and social organization, and is distinct from the general committee of the Tammany Democracy, which ia a political organization, and cannot use Tammany Hall without the consent of the society. President Wilson received the support of Tammany at the last presidential election. Readcra may obtain anvwers to questions h.y writing; the Palladium Question and Answer Department.

And yet there are people who smile, unthinkingly complain, and fcay that, they never had a chance. People are unfair to Opportunity. Opportunity keeps knocking and knocking at people's lives, but they shouldn't expect it to kick the door in. Days are over-loaded Afcith offerings opportunities of a thousand roads any one of which, if chosen and followed up, would surely lead a man to his goal. There is plenty of ill luck in the world - but very little luck. What, people ordinary think of as luck is really work plus pluck.

Memories of Old Days In This Paper Ten Years Ago Today

Hot weather was causing much illness in the city. One person suffered from heat prostration, and another person died as an indirect result. Lew Shank, mayor of Indianapolis, made a decided hit with Richmond citizens while here attending the convention of the Municipal League. He did everything from play checkers with the champion player of the fire department, to riding with Mayor Zimmerman at break neck speed while "Doc" was making his calls.

Sure Way To Get Rid Of Dandruff

There is one sure way that never fails to remove dandruff completely and that is to dissolve it. This destroys it entirely. To do this, just get about four ounces of plain, ordinary liquid arvon: apply it at night when retiring; use enough to moisten the scalp and rub it in gently with the ringer tips. By morning, most if not all, of your dandruff will be gone, and three or iour more applications will completely dissolve and entirely destroy every single sign and trace of it, no matter how much dandruff you mav have. You will find, too, that all itching and digging of the scalp will stop instantly, and your hair will be fluffy, lustrous, glossy, silky and soft, and look and feel a hundred times better. You can get liquid arvon at any drug store. It is inexpensive, and

four ounces is all you will need. This
