DEMAND 81 WHEAT.
EQUITY SOCIETY URGES FARM
ERS TO BULL THE PRICE.
Calls on AsrieuIturists Net to Sell at
Less Than ST Per Bushel-Condition
Held to Warrant That Price on the
Chicago Market.

Indianapolis, May 25.-The Amer
ican Society of Equity has issued a
bulletin to the farmers of the United
States demanding an increase in the
price of wheat giving arguments that
the minimum price of wheat should
be 81, and urging the farmers of the
United States not to sell for less than
81. The society has been organized
with this city as national headquar-
tiers for the purpose Of maintaining
higher prices for farm products by CO.
operation of the farmers of the coun-
try, and this is the first formal de-
mand for an increase in prices as the
result of the combination.
The bulletin sets out the claim that
this is an era of unequalled prosper
ity, demand for commodities is un-
precedented, labor receiving higher
wages than ever before and the de-
mand for and consumption of wheat is
greater than ever before, with low
visible supply. The bulletin then says:
at is evident that the American
farmers can not produce over about
twelve bushels per acre on an average,
which, at SS cents per bushel, repre-
sents $10.56 per acre to cover all the
work, marketing, etc, an amount that
scarcely equals the simplest machine
that this farmer buys. Who dare say.
in the face of these evidences, and
considering the higher range of values
for nearly every other commodity pro-
duced in the country, that wheat at
this time and for the next crop is not
eQuitably worth 81 per bushel on the
basis of the Chicago market and that
other farm crops should be on a cor
responding basis? Farmers keep this
in mind, keep 81 wheat Isl at Chicago)
before you and you will get it as sure
as the sun rises in the east and sets
in the west. Above all, however. we
implore you, don't be foolish When
you get the equitable price let 1t go.
Sell on the basis of 81 and no less,
but don't hold for more or you may
run up yielding surplus, which must
eventually compel lower prices.''

THURSDAY, MAY %. 1908.

The Register Call in last weeks issue
contained quite roast in regard to the
course taken by Mayor Kruse at coun-
Gil meeting in demanding the discharge
of an employe of the water department..
We believe that the article was uncalled
for and that it and the action of the ma
jority OF the council in overruling Mayor
was but the result of petty spite and not
good judgment. Mayor Kruse claimed
that the man working at the Peck ditch
was not capable of doing hard days
work and that an able bodied man
should be employed, as the city was pay
ing So day for the mans services. The
Register Call did not dispute Mayor
Kruse,s argument, but instead stated
that in previous years 50 had been paid
this is just what Mayor Kruse contended
but he insisted that if SO day was to be
paid that whoever drew that pay should
be compelled to do days work. Why
should this not be? Is it worth 80 cents
more day for man to sit around and
watch the water get mirky than 1t is for
man to work from to 10 hours day
on the streets or in a mine? OF course
this water is four miles out in the coun-
try, but how many miners there are who
walk four miles to work, work ten hours
and then get but $3.50 per day. We be
lieve that the water copmissioner and
all heads of departments have the right
to hire whom they please, but we do not
think it right for any head to provide
private snaps at public expense, and
no matter what was done in previous
years, any citizen and more especially
the mayor has the right to demand that
such expense be curtailed. If this work
can be done "by two women" we should
think that some could be secured for
what the job is worth. We know from
experience that none of the aldermen
would sanction such an expenditure in
their business.

RURAL DELIVERY CRIPPLED.
Payne Declares Machen Much to
Blame for Huge Deficit,

Blame for Huge Deficit.
Washington, May 22.-Postmaster
General Payne, in discussing the big
deficiency in theI zee delivery service,
said: 1T is very reprehensible for
bureau officer to have deficit of
100000 rolled up on the 1st of May.
1t was bad, very bad administration.
A bureau officer should not incur
deficit without consulting his superior
officer, the postmaster general. l
can not stand for that kind of admins
tration and l do not approve of it.
do not say there was anything Grim
inal or anything wrong in Mr.
Machen's action, but it was certainly
loose administration, and he should
have had his business more in hand.
l believe, however, that congress will
quickly vote the money to cover the
deficiency"
Mr.. Payne said that A. W. Machen,
the general superintendent, would be
given an opportunity to be heard on
the subject. The entire map work on
the rural free delivery service has
been suspended and no more maps
will be made before the beginning of

To the surprise OF many persons who

Department. that body took a recess
Saturday without reporting any indict-

Each day since last Monday a rumor
was circulated about the City Hall TO
the effect that the grand jury would
report several indictments on that par

VEXATIOUS DELAYS

Complaint Against Barber
Asphalt Company.
CONTRACT BUT HALF DONE
Engineer of Highways Recommends
Drastic Action if Conditions Do

c. 3. Hunt, Engineer OF Highways. has
advised the Commissioners that there
has been an excessive delay on the part
Of the Barber Asphalt Paving Company
in performing its contract 10 lay asphalt
on the District roadways-
Although the work under this con-
tract is paid for from the appropriations
for the fiscal year 1sOs." says Mr.. Hunt,
yet. at the present date, out OF total
of about 81. 600 square yards covered by
the contract. but little over 80. 900 square
yards have been laid. The contract does
not contain a date at which the work
should be completed, but the general
provision that the rate of progress must
be satisfactory. would appear undoubt-
edly to justify action where the delay is
so unreasonable.
Il recommend that the company be
advised that 1t is the expectation OF the
Commissioners that the work under the
contract should be completed during the
present working season, and that un-
less a rate OF progress sufficient for this
prompt action will have to be taken to
accomplish this result through other
agencies
The recommendation is approved by
Captain Newcomer and Colonel Biddle,
Engineer Commissioners
