INDIANAPOLIS, l-vii. L'H Iov. Kalston today was to send a special menage- to the legislature in which ho took a stand in favor of passing legislation to give the public servic rymmiio of IraJiarirt authority to increase thf passe -tiger tans of raiinufN in Indiana to two and one-half cents a mile whenever It was shown that such action w as necessary for the railroads to cam a sutlicient return on t ho investments in them. In a. letter addressed to the menibrrs of the Central Klectric Hallway association. In session hero Thursday, (low Ralston announced his intention to recommend to the legislature that the public service rommisior. be empowered to authorize an increase' of not to exceed one-half v ?nt a mile in passenger rates in the .-ate. The governor was to address t Ii " association but was unable to be present. His letter read in part as follows: "IJoth as a citizen and as an official, I am greatly Interested in the business in which you are engaged. The work of the common carrier has Krovn to such proportions in this country, and is so intimately associated with the country's welfare, that when it ceases to he profitable the injurious effects are Immediately apparent. For the last few years it has been the contention of the railroad and interurhan interests of the country especially In Indiana that the passenger fares allowed by law are not sutlicient to cover the expenses incurred In pat-sender trallie. This point has been pressed with much vigor upon the public mind and at this time there is a hill pending before the legislature of Indiana

proposing to fix passenger fares at two and one-half cents n mile. ! Mtit Supply (I'ooel Service. "On all handsit is agreed that all railroads and Interurbans are expect- j cd to furnish the best service possible in consideration of tho charges they are permitted to make therefor. Generally speaking, there is no complaint on the part of the public of the character of service furnished, but it is the contention by these companies that their passenger trafllc is losing them money. If this be true, it is not as it should he. So long1 as the public demands a high grade of service it should be willing to make that service, possible on the basis of a reasonable protit to those furnishing the service; and. broadly speaking, this should be done. "The didieult itestion is, however. What are the facts? Does the service tendered the traveling public' make it impossible for the railroads and interurbans to realize a reasonable protit? If tho exparte statei! n!s or the railroads ;md interurbans can bo taken as the truth, this laestion must Le answered In the affirmative. I believe It is conceded that the increase in passenger fares sought by these roads would yield them in Indiana approximately $'00,I'flO a year. Uirin Mini of Money. "This is a. large sum of money; too large, I think you will agree with me, lor representatives of the people to authorize the railroads to collect from the people on the ex parte statement of the interested party. 1 am not insinuating that this ex parte statement is or would bo erroneous, but I believe that the question it seek. to influence favorable action upon Is of such vast importance to the public, that no official either in an executive or representative capacity would be warranted in acting favorably upon it without hearing from both of the interested parties. It would he difficult, if not impossible, for the present legislature at this late day, with all the other work demanding its attentions to take up this important subject and give it a thorough investigation and coine to an equitable conclusion. Terso'ially I am friendly to these great properties, and I know the people of Indiana are. J want them to receive a fair profit for their service and to succeed; but this should be done on a basis that will be fair, so far as it is possible to arrive at such a basis, to both the roads and the public. I !niwmr Sor ice Commissions. "With this idea in view, it is my intention to recommend to the legislature tlut it empower the public service commission of Indiana to authorize an increase in the passenger fares in litis state not to exceed onehalf eent a mile. The commission should, of e'uirse. make an investigation of the conditions of any road, upon its tillinu a petition with the commission, asking for an increase of tans. This petition should contain ;uch facts as would warrant such increase and as may be required to be set forth therein, under a rale of tho commission ; and it may he the showing made by some roads in support of their petitions will be so conclusive of the question at issue, although ex parte, that lit little additional evidence w ill be required by the commission. This course, it appears to me. considering the circumstances of the east-, will l t promote an Intelligent settlement of this dithcult public question; one. too. in which all the raerors ot a political nature 01 party advantage will disappear."

Three Forts at Entrance of Dardanelles Reduced by Attack of Allies' Fleet But Formidable Task Remains.

The allied Meet has been trying get by the outer forts sinee early January. On Feb. 19 there was heavy bombardment at long range

which considerable destruction was d ne. according to an olllcial reporl Ly Vice At miral Carden. The Turks claimed :u that time to have badly damaged an Knglirh battleship.

LONDON, Feb. 2G. "On to Constantinople," is the slogan of the British naval experts toddy as a result of tho odicial announcement made by the admiralty late last night that the outer forts of the Dardanelles had been reduced by the Anglo-French Heel. They admit, however, that the allied lleet still facey a most formidable task. The forts put out of action are two on the northern, or European side of the Iardanelles. and one on the Asiatic side. The rest of the Dardanelles is lined on both sides for a distance of about 40 miles by other forts and defensive works. Mine fields have been laid hv the Turks all along

tho Dardanelles and in the Sea of Marmora. It probably will take several months I for the French and liritish warships!

to force the entire passage of the Dardanelles, but naval expert in London declare that tho opening success of the warships presages the capture of Constantinople. All the Iondon papers devote collimns to the Dardanelles situation and eive high praise to the work of the French as well as the British warships. Rejoicing is general. The outer Dardanelles forts fell under the concentrated fire of eight battleships, the of them being British and three French, all under command of Vlee Admiral Garden. His flagship is the battleship Inflexible and the other lattle?hips of Britain are the Agamemnon, Cornwallis, Vengeance and Triumph. The French battleships are the Fuffern. (lUiilois and Bouvcrt. The battleships are accompanied by a strong forco of cruisers, torpedo boats and destroyers, as well as a number of submarines which will be used for the removal of great chain cables that the Turks have stretched across the entrance to the Dardenelles. Would W Dtxislve IVat. The successful forcing of the Dardanelles by the allied fleet would, in the opinion of many military experts, be the most decisive and important event of the war up to the present. Once the Franco-British fleet makes its entrance into the sea of Marmora the- city of Constantinople will be at its mercy and Turkey will by virtually eliminated from tho military .situation. With the opening of the Hosphorus which would be a simple matter after Constantinople had b'en taken. Russia could be easily supplied with the munitions which she sorely needs, and the enormous stores of wheat which have been collected on the shores of the Black sea would be released for the benefit of the western allies. The political effects would be even more important. Turkey's power has consisted in the supposedly impregnable position of Constantinople, which has held Russia in check by preventing her egress to the open sea. The announcement of the destruction of the Dardanelles forts -a peculiarly significant from the fact that it is made on the day when Sir Edward Grey stated in the house of commons that Kntrland would net oppose Russia's aspirations for acces3 to the sea. iteteral of Ioliey. That announcements marks a reversal uf the policy which Knglaxul has maintained for generations. Hitherto Encland has exerted every effort to prevent Russia from obtaining that access. Now BritMi guns are battering down the forts so that Russian ships may go through. The forts are not all yet destroyed. however. The Dardanelles ar miles ions and from l.O yards to four miles wide.

AID LEGISLATORS

American Highway Association Compiles Road Laws as Ready Reference in Reforming Acitivity in Construction.

To many of the 42 state legislatures now in session the preliminary report of the legislative committee of the American Highway association should prove most helpful. The committee has already, in cooperation with the I'nited States otllce of publicroads, compiled the road laws of each state In the Union with absolute completeness to Jan. 1, 1915 and has practically completed a ready reference index so that the p:reat mass of material compiled can be easily consulted for purpose of revision. The coi'-mittee is rapidly formulating the baMc outlines for eliiCient road laws covering the various branches of state and county arrivity to hiuhway construction and maintenance. Heady to Aid St a to. Through Fairfax Harrison, president of the association, the committee has advised the jrovrrnor of each state that the committee stands ready to plac-- its data before the state legislators and to arrange for specialists on this subject to confer with state nrhcials ;.nd legislative committees which now have under consideration the framing of road

laws. At the present time only seven states have no highway departments. Thirty states now make direct, appropriations of state funds in aid of road construction or maintenance so that great progress has been made. The problems now most pressing are those relating to the construction, maintenance and control of local roads and bridges and it is in dealing with these local problems that the committee will find its task most difficult. i:eform ISogins at Home. The American Highway association, in devoting a large part of its iTorts and funds to the work of the legislative committee, is proceeding on the theory that as all construction, maintenance, financing and management of the putlic roads must he governed by legislative enactment, the reil reform must begin with the state legislatures. The personnel of the legislative committee is such as to bring to the work the various kinds of experience and knowledge essential to an adequate handling of the subject. Serving on the committee are Walton Moore, a lawyer of national reputation; A. s. Johnson, chief engineer of the buieau of municipal research; Charles J. Bennett, state highway commissioner of Connecticut, and J. K. Pennydacker, chief of road economics of the United States department of asriculture.

MKXICO CITV. Feb. I'ndr heading. "Mexico and the foreigners". Gen.

If in all the countries

this crime; of Mese pntria' were committed, no one would live in his own country. "I am not an enemy of foreigners. but of their infamies. I believe that there are very few foreigners now in Mexico, but I think also that there are few obligations which our lawn impose upon them. We must accustom ourselves to like foreigners and not to fear them. We must consider them like brothers in tho struggle for life, but we have to expect the same of them. "In these moments when a tempest of blood engulfs our country, an orphanage extends its dominions over our territory and misery and hunger begin to put their grasping lingers on some of our cities, and a reasonable tax has been decreed in these moments, dear people, you will know who is exploiting you like beasts of prey and who is sharing fraternally ycur misfortune. You will sce some foreigners who have grown rich in our land tlefending themselves with their nationality and with advantages that our deiicient laws give them, not giving their help to you. You will see a great many capitalists giving a thousand reasons for avoiding the opportunity which presents itself to do you good."
