SHE DEFICIT is mm hi TOO FAST RATE
GOVERNOR DECLARES HE WILL NOT CALL AN EXTRA SESSION TO HELP MATTERS. fM BE COMPELLED TO Use of Funds For Next Year M&y Compel Bond Issue Or Session To Pay Banning. Expenses. , Indianapolis, Ind., November 16. The Democrats in Indiana suddenly have assumed the defensive. From that eoeksureness and confidence that have characterized them for some time past, they have passed to an apolegetic attitude, and are busy trying to explain the state deficit and extravagances. The Democratic governor rushes to the press with the assertion that he will not call an extra session of the Indiana- Legislature to appropriate money -with which to pay for Democratic extravagance. The Democratic governor may be forced to change his mind later. The Democrats have used .$50.000 of the money belonging" to the year 1012. pay current bills of 1911. Of course this makes a big hole in the revenue for the year 1912. Suppose this deficit runs over into 1913 and grows with time, in the ratio that Democratic deficits have grown in the past in Indiana. Suppose the state's revenues do not come up to anticipations! Revenues have a way of falling off from what the Democrats count on. Suppose the Democratic prophets are right, and we are on the verge of hard times, or tight money! If matters get worse than they are al this time, decidedly the Democrats will find it difficult to make both ends meet. And matters may become so acute in the windup as to force the Democratic governor to call an extra session whether he wishes to do bo or not. When times are uncertain and money hard to get, the delinquent tax lit grows. Never in the history of the state was there such a wonderful payment of taxes and settling of back taxes as during the period of Republican prosperity since 1897. But let things get uncertain in the linsrnes world and the delinquent tax it will grou- to its former imposing proportions, and the Democrats arc likely to find the state's revenue- falling far and away short f the estimates. Then will come the disaster which the Democrats have been busy preparing for their own undoing. Then will come the bankruptcy to which Democratic iranageir.ent has be-?n tending. The Democratic governor does not cive details to show how he is to stave off bond issues or extra sessions. Assuredly the Democratic hope of breaking even in 1912 will r.-ot be helped by the fact that new iobs and increased salaries at the State House alone have added $68,000 a year to the cost of running that institution over what it cost

ing the state institutions will not help the Democrats cut expenses. The fact that the Democrats have in creased the length or the state pay roll 25 per cent, will not tend to bring about the paring of expenses. Then, too, there will be a part of the state debt to meet in the next TTvar -will the Democratic yea governor surmount that little obstacle?

Death of Mill Supply Pioneer.
C. Ia Rice, a pioneer in the mill supply business, and one of the old est members of the Dodge selling family is dead. The end came un expectedly and in sort of a tragic way. According to the Chicago braneh of the Dodge Manufacturing Com pany, where Mr. Rice was identified, he was crossing a busy down town street at noon on Nov. 2, when he collided with a team of draft horses and was violently thrown to the paving. Picked up in an unconscious condition, Mr. Rice was hurried by ambulance to a Chicago hospital 'vhere examination by plrysicans showed only several severe bruises on the face and head and no internal injuries. He failed rapidly, however, following the accident, and passed away Nov. 3, without regaining consciousness. . Mr. Rice was 89 years old, and had been more or less connected with the Dodge people since the introduction of the wood split pulley. While writing in a reminiscent mood for one of the Dodge publications in the summer of 1910, Mr. Rice talked of Iiis early Dodge xperienees as follows ; "It is hard to believe that forty years have passed since I first met Wallace Podge. At that time I was conducting a general machinery business and carried about the only stock of wood and iron working machinery in Chicago, under the name of Rice Machinery Company. "One day a young man came into my store, and after carefully looking over my stock, selected several machines that he wished to purchase, giving his name and address. " Xovr, he said ' I haven't sot the money to pay for these, but if you wiU let me have them, I willseo that you get it.' 'He followed this bv giving me full particulars regarding his business, experience, expectations, etc There was something in the, young man himself and the way he talked, that won me to him. and well he got the machines and in due course of time 1 got mv money. 4 'This man was Wallace Dodge, and, as, subsequent events in my life proved, it was the most profitable sale I ever made, for here began an acquaintance that quickly ripened into friendship, then merged into close business relations, resulting in mv taking the first agency for the sale of Dodge Independence' split wood pulleys. The first Dodge pulley sold by me in Chicago was in 1882 to PalmerFuller Company, manufacturers of sash, doors and blinds, on my personal guarantee to make good any damages, and that thev were not to pay for the pulley until it had proved satisfactory in every way. I went at my task with some misgivings as to the possible results, but wa pleasantly surprised after the pulley had been running to receive a check for the purchase, and also an order for five more. After that it was easy sailing.' Mr. Rice, while not engaged actively in work at the Chicago branch of the Dodge Manufacturing Company, was always at his desk during the day, provided the weather was such as to permit his making the trip from his home to the store. He was ever bright and cheerful, and for a man of his. age, possessed tof remarkable vitality. Free Municipal Laundry. Cincinnati has recently opened a municipal domestic laundry where poor women of the tenement districts mav tase the family clothing and do their own washing with the aid of the mtst up-to-date machinery Thus, all the modern laundrv mechanisms are brought within reach of the Korest families. A picture of the laundry -interior appears in the December Popular Mechanics Magazine. The eqnipment includes enough power washel's, driers, and electric irons, to accommodate "00 family washings each week, and the city is preparing to build more laundries of like narecognize the sanitary advantages derived from removing: elotheswashin; operations from the living and sleeping rooms of the tenement dwellers. - Power From the Sun. After many years of experiments and failures, an American inventor of apparatus designed to utilise directly the sun's power has perfected an aV;Mratns which has been in operation -;i Philadelphia. The machine was kept running steadily foi several weeks, and during that time pumpe I several millions of gallons of water by power obtained from the sun's rays alone. An illustrated description of the pant appears in the December Popular Mechanics Magazine. A Scandal. Mrs. . fiimmonds glanced at the scare headline "Bank Robbed! Police at Sea!" and laid down. the sheet. Naow look at that, Ez!" she ejaculated, repeating the headline aloud. " Here 's at big city bank broke into by burglars.
