A Hint from Massachusetts.

The State highway commission are
enforcing point which has been
known for thousands of years-certain-
ly as long as there have been roads
anywhere-that steep grades should
be avoided whenever they can be; in
fact, that the sleeper the grade the
greater the wash from rains and the
costlier the road to maintain. Every
body knows that" you say. Certainly,
but where is the city or town with
billy highways that reduces those hills
to a minimum? 1t would be hard to
find. Grading costs little money, and
to save this money, town and city au-
thorities spend other money annually
for all time to keep their water washed
highways in repair. 1t is simply a
case of penny wise and pound foolish.

with those which prevailed at the time
in British House of Commons:

Is. Upon adjournment no member
shall presume to move until the Spea-
ker arises and goes before.
The convention being organized,
each county was authorized to name
two of its members to draft constitu-

BIGGEST FARM TAX.
1t is Paid in Districts Where the Country

1t is Paid in Districts Where the Country
Roads are Poor.
AT the Farmers Congress in Indian.
apolis Otto Domer, the Milwaukee
member of the League of American
Wheelmen national committee for
road improvement, told the truth sue
cinctly when he said: 1.-THE elements
entering into the transportain of grain
to the railway are time, horses and
vehicles. Bad roads consume them all:
good roads conserve ALL" He pointed
out that since New Jersey had under
taken the construction of good roads
the quantity of potatoes that could be
hauled to the load had increased from
90 baskets to S5 or 100 baskets. The
chief OF the board of road inquiry at
Washington is responsible for the state
ment that it costs the farmers of the
country an average of over S3 a ton to
market their produce, nearly two
thirds of which might be saved by the
construction of good roads. The value
of the saving that would result in any
farming State in single year would
be very large. If rightly constructed,
good roads, when once established,
should be permanent improvement,
so that the addition to the wealth of
the country from the economy they
afford would be something enormous
in the course of years.

Gov. TaylOr's Message.

Part one of Gov. Taylor's serial mes
sage to the General Assembly deals
with elections, fee reform State finan-
ces, the penitentiary and the Centen.
nial.
The Governors observations and
recommendations concerning elections,
we regret to have to say, are the one
sided views of small politician. He
declares that the purity of the ballot
is in danger of terrible corruption and
prostitution from the use of money
shipped into the State by the tens of
thousands for the deliberate purpose of
buying votes. What the Governor
means is that the Republicans used
much money in paying poll taxes for
Republican voters, which was, in his
view, horrible thing to do, and he
implies, if he does not dirictly charge.
that vast amount of money was used
by the bad Republicans in election
bribery and corruption. The payment
of the poll taxes of voters was openly
done by Republicans, with the sane.
tion and encouragement of Democratic
County Trustees, and it is claimed by
them that this was legitimate and in
no violation of law. If it were wrong
to pay these poll taxes, to go into the
sacred school fund, the law itself,
which makes the payment of poll taxes
requisite to the exercise of the elective
franchise, is inherently wrong. Demo-
cratic election managers have habit
of paying these taxes when they can
get the money, and of doing the un-
lawful thing of using blank tax receipts
to be filled at the polls, but Gov. Tay-
lor has nothing to say in condemna.
ton of this violation of law.
But admitting that the practice of
paying poll taxes for voters is dam
gerous practice, what evidence has
Gov. Taylor thatthe Republicans used
the tens of thousans of dollars for cor
rupting the people? When he in.
weighed against them, why did he not
present seme proofs to sustain his parti.
san charge in his message to the Legis.
latureP And why, in the name of com
mon sense and decency, does not the
Governor, when he is speaking of elec-
tions, refer to the outrageous ballot
box corruption which is proven by the
daily evidence taken in West Tennes
see in the Patterson Carmack contest
case? He starts out by speaking of
the danger which lies in the corrup-
ton of the ballot box" and then seeks
to make it appear that the only and
awful danger is in the use of money by
Republicans. He ignores the fraudu-
lent ballot box manipulations by DEM
ocrats. What a small, narrow and
pitiful pretense he makes in this official
message about the purity of elections.

message will! be reviewed in separate

MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP.
Successful Experiment at LOganspOrt
in Electric Lighting.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
LOCANSPORT, Ind, July 9.-The city OF
Logansport has the most successful cleo
trio light plant, owned and operated by the
city, of any town of similar size in the
country. 1t is a model plant in many re-
spects, and it's operation costs the city
practically nothing, furnishing light for the
streets and for the city offices, and having
a complete service for private consumers
The reports of the city treasurer and city
clerk for the fiscal year ending June 3d.
1897, show that within four years an cleo
trio light plant of the character described
has been built, the lines extended to every
part of the city, and there is now in opera
ton $50 1,20O candle-power arc lamps for
street lighting; 1000 incandescent lamps for
commercial and residence lighting, and 80
arc lamps for commercial lighting, which,
with the machinery and buildings, repre-
sent an investment Of about $4,000 There
is but about 100 of debt on the plant, and
there is money in the electric light fund to
pay this debt when 1t becomes due. The
cost of maintaining the plant for the past
year was $11 500.25. The receipts from
rentals for commercial and residence light
ing amounted to SIS, 35492 showing the net
revenues over the cost of maintenance to
be $4, S54.67. In the last year of the con-
tract with the Jenney Electric Company
the city paid an average OF 500 per lamp
LOT street ngnJnS, ana private consumers
paid an average of one-third more for the
service than is now obtained The plant
was built by a Republican Council after
thorough investigation of the merits of
the city ownership plan mad been made
There was determined opposition to the
plan by the Democratic members of the
Council who thought they saw in it
Job" by which the Republicans hoped to
gain control of the city. When the cleo
lions of 1892 were held majority of the
Council elected was Republican, and the
matter of building up the electric light
plant was taken up in earnest. A special
tax was levied and money raised in that
manner with which to begin work. The
Democratic press of the city is on record
as opposing the enterprise from the start,
claiming 1t could never be made self-sus-
tanning, but in spite of opposition the work
was done, and the investment added to
from time to time, until now the electric
light plant of Logansport is pointed to with
pride by all the citizens, and the plan
adopted to build up the plant is being
adopted in many cities of larger size.
The same can be said of the water works
plant, which is owned by the city and is
self-sustaining, while a splendid water
service is given even in the remotest parts
of the city. The cutting off of the great
expense of buying light and water has
made it possible to reduce the rate of tax
alton, and last year the rate was lowered
from 81. 20 on the 500 of valuation to SILL
and it will be still further reduced in the
coming year.

HOW the ClnIIs stand.
CUT OFF BY RAIN.
Four Innings Played and the Score
Left Tie.

There was the making of a good game
in the four innings played yesterday, as
the BoboInks took quite a brace, and it
was an even thing when rain put stop
to the battle just after Mcfarland had
opened the fifth with a safe hit to left.
The rain had driven the players to shelter
once before-just after the second Grand
Rapids man had been put out in the fourth.
1t stopped long enough for the Bobs to tie
the score in that inning and to let McFar-
land reach first in the fifth on a fly that
fell safe in right. Then it came down in
earnest and soon put all thought of a game
out of the question. Gayle waited half an
hour, and, as the rain was still coming and
the grounds in bad shape he declared the
game off.
Scott pitched much better ball than on
Wednesday, though Indianapolis picked up
five singles and double in the four innings
Goar started in to pitch, but was too lame
to continue, Foreman relieved him after
the first. The visitors drew first blood
Slagle and Newell walking in their open
ing inning and Strauss advancing them
with q sacrifice. Campau's fly to Deadly
scored Slagie and Glenalvin went out from
second to first. Indianapolis lost no time
tying the score in the second when, with
one out, Stewart hit to left for base.
Flynn put one into Strauss hands but he
fumbled it and both men were safe. Wood
forced Flynn at second, but Stewart scored
on the out, the visitors trying for and just
missing a double. Foreman few to left.
Cancels hit to left McKibbens being hit
by pitcher and a couple of outs at hrst
gave the Bobs another in the second. In
dianapoliS took the lead in the third, when,
with one out Gray and Mcfarland got sin
giles. Motz flew to left, scoring Gray.
Deadly hit to left for base and Stewart
to right for two bases, Mcfarland coming
in. Flynn hit into Cancels hands. The
visitors tied in the fourth, after two hands
were out and it had rained hard enough to
make the ball difficult to control. Gan
zells hit to center, followed by McKfbben' 5
triple to right, did the business. Wood
made two hard catches of foul flies in this
inning Twineham retiring the side that
way. McFarlands high fly bothered Slagle
and Campau so much that it fell safe in
the fifth, but as the rain fell about the
same time it didn't cut any figure one way
or the other.
