No Restiiction in Franchise Granted b/ (Business Adminlstntio ?> tc Promoter,

DEMOCRATS LOWER RATE

(’ouiieil Which (.ranted ( outruct P Piitii.im Electric Company Offered Same Contract to Home Company But Old Company Would Not Accept it.

A "Business Administration'’ (?i as ;he Republican press chores tc term the present common council, showed its business ability a few months ago by granting to Paul H.* White who is nothing more than t: promoter, a franchise to run an elp.t trie current to Greencastie. The franliise given Mr. White the right to ■eil c urrent to conf timers at any rate he may choose to charge. The frai-chiu-e is for forty years and the promoter was given two years from th> lat< of the granting or he fr m ' to begin work at putting in his line. I No restrictions regarding the price to be charged for this current, S in orporated in the vanehise. And in idmtly the promoter doe not anticipate building a plant CJreencas le. No, the electricity is P be brought into town from most anywhere the promoter chooses. Such concern would in no way benefit the town. It would only take the citizens money to other towns and the citizens would get no return whatever, excepting that they would have to pay whatever price the company chose to charge them for the current. And then the Republican press lets out a roar because a franchise was granted to the Putnam Electric Company. If the Republican edit.ir would take time to investigate he would find that the old company was (barging 15 cents for per kilowatt for light. When the new contract and franchise was granted, the old company was offered the same inlucements as the Putnam Electric Company. It refused, however, to accept a -entraet in which the rate was low- < red to ten cents: And then the oil "ompany had a minimum charge of $1.00 a month while the Putnam Electric had a minimum of seventyflee cents a month until the day curcent was put on. The old company charged its consumers fifteen cents for current while the contract granted the nowcompany specifies that no more than •on could be charged. And on the street light question. Who can show an instance where the old company was ever docked for outage. Several hundreds of dollars have been deducted from the bills of the Putnam Electric Company in the past years, for outage. Under the contract with the old company the council could not deduct or did not deduct for outage. In granting the Putnam Electric Company a franchise, the DemocraticCouncil gave the people of Greencastie their light for a third less than they had formerly been playing. And the home company was offered the same contract before it was granted to the Putnam Electric Company but refused to take it. From the expressions of the Republican editor it is to be reasoned that a business administration would have given the contract to the old company and allowed the people -o continue paying a third more for their light than they now are paying.

BEVERIDGE GIVES ADVICE Tells DtPaiiw SMents How to Succeed in Life Struggle.

CHIEF PLACE TO NERVE

Senator Dc.lures That Not Intellect Hut Character is the Main Thing in Life and the Greatest Element in Character is Nerve.

Senator Beveridge spoke in M<‘harry Hall Friday before a large audience of students and citizens. His style of oratory has changed much since he last spoke here, his discourse feeing touched with slang and unusually conversational. At points in the address he made i; plain that he conceived that the greatest thing derived from college life was the training in life'-'-attle, and lie spoke rather curtly o f some o!' the academic studies as ha\ ng lit: l value in the life struggle. Withal the address was the most ento: aining ana interesting of any the speaker has ever given here, perhaps be-ause less formal and studied. Dr. Gobin efore «i- _ tht senator read a letetr from Dr. M Connell expressing the regret of the president in not bei,ng aide to te present upon the return of so renouned an alumnus as the senator In the communication he spoke of the remarkable work that Senator Beveridge is accomplishing In public affairs with his independent spirit. As expressing the feeling of the =-fcool the president wrote: “DePauw ! s proud of him and of the work vhich he has done and is doing." After applause and cheers had subsided the senator spoke upon the subject of “Opportunities for the Right Man." Said the senator. "The world has more and more a place for the right, man and more and more no place for the wrong man.'' There is no need of pessimism among the young men ready to leave (oliege and go out in the world — but audacity and fear must be nr i t aside f advancement is found. “Then, too, don ’t be afraid in the .-. crld — ha. e nerve," advised the ; ?eaker. And a man must not be afraid of failure. History said the sena*cr shows what this nerve aeomplished. It shows what courage in Napoleon and David a.-.rmplish-i-d. And this courage as always comes through a trust in God. Refusing the many invitations of entertainment the senator declared •bat hi r resent visit was intended ;;s a means of making his wife acquainted with the old school wheie he spent his college days. The sender and Mrs. Beveridge spent part (f ’he morning driving about Greeuastle and seeing the town and usual haunts of the students of DePauw-.

HIS CONTOACf IS ILLEGAL

George M Casiin, the tax ferre - , who a few years ago worked here for several months, is having his troubles in Case County. The folowing regarding his troubles is takv. from the Indianapolis News. LOG ANSPORT, 1ml., O-tober 21 — Judge Jei;^ West of Crawfordsville, in overruling the demurrer filed bv George McCaslin, of Indianapolis Cars County tax expert, to the city's petition for an injunction enjoining; the county treasurer from deducting from the ci y's share of collected ‘ sequestered taxes any money whk-h ■iiay have been paid to M-Casiin under his contra t with the Cass county i-oiiinii.'sioiierR and restraining the cL.ims filed by McCaslin, do-: cided tl.at the tax expert's contract :

illegal.

During the two years that .McCaslin has held his con ract with the county commis-sioners the city’s share of collected sequestered taxe has amounted to about $20,000 anit has received nea. • the entir< amount. Notice was terved on tlu County Treasurer Matthew Moroney that he would le sued cn his bem if he deducte 1 from the ity's shaany money as commission due Me

Casiin under ills contract with the county treasurer. Recently Maurice infield a petition asked for an injunction against the commissioners allowing any more McCaslin claims and restraining the treasurer claims were temporarily held up, but when Judge Claybaugh of Frankfort, recently decided that Winfield should appeil from the commissioners’ allowances instead of enjoicing the board, the ronin issloners na\e been free to allow claims and the treasurer has been free to pay them. None, however, have been either to allowed or paid, because the commissioners have not since been in ses-

sion.

McCaslin will appeal from Judge West’s decision, and if the supreme court confirms his ceclsion the tax expert will appeal to the United States supreme court.
