COUNCIL WANTS CITIZENS' OPINION ON BUS .LINE FRANCHISE; CITY TAX LEVY IS 98 CENTS

Fall activities of the city council "were ushered in "with the dispatch o'l considerable important business Tuesday night. A summary shows : Daylight saving repeal resolution defeated. Bus line franchise read for first time. ' Mayor opposes creation of city judge position. City budget of $314,960 passed. Municipal light plant budget of $456,920 passed. Discusses handling of charity patients at hospital. Raises salaries of school board members. City tax levy set at 9S cents.

Repeal of the daylight savings ordinance, received a check when it failed to go to third reading by two ' votes, cast against it by Councilmen , Fahlslng and Stiliiner. As a result the measure goes to the next meeting of

council, Sept. 18 for third reading. Unanimous Consent Needed

The rules of council provide that to

pa?s an ordinance in one evening,

unanimous consent Is necessary to advance it to third reading. The meas

ure failed of unanimous consent 1 through these two votes. The ordinance providing for a franchise for the Richmond Motor Transit company came up for first reading. On recommendation of the ordinance . committee, the measure was given first reading and then put on the regular order of business, in order that all facts may be brought out before the franchise is granted. Citizens who had expected to see proponents of the bus plan, f.nd advocates of the city street car system appeared on the council floor in a verbal 'battle, were disappointed. There was no argument by representatives of either side, although they were present. Want Expression of Citizens One councilman called the attention of citizens to the need for an early expression of opinion. "Citizens should take notice of the fact that this orninance is now before council;" he said. "There should be an expression of opinion now, and they should not wait till the third reading before coming up here to act."

Mayor Handley stated his position

on the citv iudee Question, after City

Attorney kelley, in response to a request from council, gave theui his advice. The mayor said: "While the duties of police judge do not appeal to me, and I would appreciate the chance to be relieved ot them, nevertheless, I do not want to be placed in the position of sn'rking the responsibilities of this office. 1 do feel that the city is growing large enough to have a city judge, but I am willing to abide by the wishes of council in the matter, and I believe the citizens should be given a chance to express themselves." Kelley Advises Council City Attorney Kelley said the office would carry with it a salary of $,600 to $1,500 per year, and that the mayor would have the power to appoint a city judge for the term of office prior to the next city election. Acting on a suggestion of a councilman. Mayor Handley appointed a com

mittee of five to look into tho Reid Memorial hospital situation before the city turned over more money for care of charity patients. Members of the committee are Councilmen Ford, Williams. Salzarulo. Benn and Fahlslng.

Criticism as to the manner in which fhet iricmtat hflH ifaan run was vnifPli

by two councilmen. John E. White and Councilman Ford spoke of r eports that a "clique" of doctors had entire control and were running the institution in such a way as to excluda other dotors. Councilman Salzarulo took an

opposite stand. j An appropriation of $4,000 'n the budget for the use of charity patients, was set aside temporarily pending the report of, the committee, which is to meet with the hospital board. Commends Plant Manager The management of the municipal light plant was commended. A councilman said: "I want to say that. I am highly pleased with the way tha. plant is being run. I visited it the othr day and found it in first-class condition. I think there ought to be some law forbidding the turning away of such an efficient manager of the plant as long as he maintains it in its present condition." A communication from the president of the Municipal League, W. F. Hodges, calling attention to the annual convention at Couth Bond, Oct. 4, 5 and 6, was read to council. An ordinance appropriating $125 for board for prisoners in the city jail, and

$30 for band concerts was passed. A special ordinance transferring various suras of money from funds to certain other accounts was passed. The measure was put through to adjust payroll, depreciation, miscellaneous, wiring and other accounts, whic had been drawn on during the past year. p Raise School Board Salaries Tha combined salaries of members cf the board of school trustees formerly $S00, cut to $400 in 1016, was raised to $600 by a special ordirance. The raise was made reccssary through the fact that the bond for the treasurer has been raised to $135 a year. The treasurer's salary had" beon set at $160 annually under the old ar-

rangement. It was1! raised to $300 a

year; the other two members of thej board receiving $120 a year each, under the old arrangement were :aised to $150 a year under the new. Complaint was registered by Councilman Salzarulo that the city building did not fly a flag on Labor day. Mayor Handley said it must hav.'' been an oversight and promised to have the matter called . to the attention of the proper officials. Passing of the city and light plant budgets provided for in a special or dinance, was a bulky part of the evening's work. The city budget amounted to $314,960, and the light plant budget amounted to $456,920. The tax levy will be 98 cents.

ROBERT MARSH, 18,

OF HAMILTON, DIES FOLLOWING ACCIDENT

Called by Death

MRS. MAGGIE NEEDHAM

HAGERSTOWN, Sept 6. Mrs. Maggie Needham, 66 years old, mother of Mrs. Wm. Cord ell, died Monday night following many weeks of sickness at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Cordell. Mrs. Needham was born at Swayzee, and later lived in Dalton township. She is

survived by one sister here, Mrs. Het-

tie Bennett and two daughters, Mrs

Cora Hawkins of Muncie and Mrs.

iordell. The funeral was to be held Wednesday afternoon at the M. E.

church, the Rev. S. H. Caylor to deliver

the sermon and burial at Mooreland.

JAMES PAXTON JACKSONBURG, Ind., Sept. 6. Fu

neral services for James Paxton, 84 years old, who died at his home east of here Monday, were to have been held Wednesday afternoon at the

Canada's national mounted police the famous Roy-1 TTorthwest mounted police about whi,L fiction stories by the thousands

Yukon territory. The official name of the force was changesome time ago, but the traditions still hold,

and heads of corporations, who also

are his clients.

Senator LaFollette is of course en

titled to the credit which fastens his name to the LaFollette seaman's bill.

But LaFollette would never have been able to get that bill through the -en-ate if he had not succeeded in persuading Sutherland, who then repre

sented Utah in the senate, that the

bill contained justice, and not only

justice but practicability. When Sutherland indorsed the bill he wen for it a degree and kind of support

from other senators who respected

his mind and judgment such as LaFollette never could have won.

Has Common Sense Sutherland has the kind of mind

which, in the defined and delicate perfection of its processes, is sometimes called "silky" but Sutherland has also what is the supreme equipment of a judge, namely, the instinct for common sense. Sutherland has this because he had to have it in the place

where he got his early training. The

ex-senator's father was an English

mining engineer who lived in the mining camps of Utah. Where Sutherland

first practiced law a lawyer could not

"get by" merely through reading the law from a calf-bound text book.

The juries and the rough judges of

those communities could only be impressed by showing them that the legal axiom was what all good law ought to be, namely, the epitome of their own rough but accurate sense of what is right. Two other great lawyers who are graduates of this same mountain camp school are Senator Borah, of Idaho and Senator Thomas J. Walsh, of Montana. (Copyright 1922 by the New York Evening Post, Inc.)

Anthracite Convention

To Ratify Agreement

(By United Press)

WILKESBARRE, Pa., Sept. 6. The anthracite tri-district convention will ratify the agreement , reached between operators and officials of the United Mine Workers in Philadelphia. This

statement was made to the United Press today by John L. Lewis, international president of the Mine Workers as 700 delegates gathered to pass final judgment upon the "peace pact. "I am optimistic.

A defective front tire which col

lapsed as the machine was passing a

truck on the National Road wst oi Richmond, was the cause of an accl-, dent in which Robert Marsh, 18 years old. of Hamilton, . Ohio, received injuries which resulted in his death, and

three other persons sustained minor

injuries, Tuesday evening.

Parents of Marsh were in the city

Wednesday to take charge of their

son's body.

John MacKenzie, general manager

of the Vltamine Food Products company, of Chicago, was driving the car.

He was accompanied by Herman Heln-

eman, also of Chicago, with the same concern. MacKenzie sustained a cut

hand and Heineman a strained shoul

der. William Johnston, of Hamilton, companion of Marsh, escaped injury by jumping from the machine as it left the road. The machine turned over twice after entering the d'tch. Hits Mail Post MacKenzie, in a statement 'ssned

after the accident, said he did not

know what had happened, but that the front tire had collapsed, throwing his machine to the left. It struck a mail box post, and he lost control. He said his next recollection was of sitting at the wheel of the car, in the ditch. Heineman was lying underneath, and Marsh was on the ground about seven feet. to the left of the car. According to the tracks left by the car it had headed down into the ditch, had struck bottom, then headed up out of the ditch again. When it started up, the machine became overbalanced, and rolled sidewise down in the ditch.

Went on Hike Marsh and Johnston were hiking from Indianapolis to Hamilton. Marsh lives at 1120 East Lawn street, Hamilton, and Johnston, his friend lived on the same street. They had been in Indianapolis in search of workand were picked up by. MacKenzie at Knightstown. The accident occurred at 5 o'clock Tuesday evening. Marsh was taken to

On the other hand, Harding's choice

for the first vacancy he had to fill,

William H. Taft, is rather conspicu

ously a pro-league of nations man.

However, the league of nations is

one of the last questions likely to reach the supreme court of the United States. But what is important and what is cheering in a world in which a rather extraordinary number of things seem to be going wrong is the satisfaction attending the selection of

ex-Senator Sutherland. If sheer intelligence, the possession of good muscle inside an ample skull can help the world on its difficult way, Sutherlands presence on the supreme bench is an occasion for gratification. Holds Middle Ground. It never occurs to, any one to classify Mr. Sutherland as conservative or liberal. Sometimes, when you enter his office, you encounter that ancient mariner of the labor unions, Andrew Feruseth. Feruseth and the Seamen's union are among Sutherland's clients. Sometimes you encounter big bankers
