Since the years of the war there has
not been a period in the affairs of In
dianapolis when the Jealous efforts of
every Republican in the city could
have been more opportune than this
season. Excepting the Board of Public
Works, the city government. from Mayor
to Council, is either inefficient or cor

been increased for salaries and wages
more than 80 per cent. and yet the at
fairs of the city are being run upon bor-
rOwed money. At the close of the fiscal
year the city debt will be nearly 81 per
capita greater than it was when the year
began. Through the subserviency of

EVERY day the taxpayers of 1ndianap-
oils pay 1924 AS interest on the defaulted
73-per-cent. bonds. If the controllers
advice had been taken year ago the
7.3 bonds could have been exchanged
for bonds at a rate equivalent to little
over 3l2 per cent. Ii the exchange had
been made the interest would have
been little less than $50 day. By an
intrigue of Democratic bosses the con-
troller's plan was rejected. Because it
was rejected the city is paying S64 more
interest every day in the year than 1T
would if the bosses had not cOntI oiled

extorted from taxpayers as the cost OF
Democratic bossism and official sub
serviency to banker bosses.
