where is the new blood" in Rich
mond?
This city can not even furnish en-
ployment for the hundreds of young
men who are born az6 reared here
and would remain in their native city
il advantages were offered. But
thore are not places for them all; not
places for even half. Every year
scores leave to seek new fields and
many become successful, helping to
make other cities and other communi-
ties thrive. 1t is a deplor&ble fact.
but it must be admitted, and it is only
through such short-sighted policy as
is about to be applied to the Dayton s.
Western company that this is brought
about. Richmond has more natural
advantages than any city in the state,
yet it's standing is low
The argument is put forth that the
Dayton & Western company does not
pay any taxes in Richmond and there
fore should not be allowed to operate
free of charge. But what is the diff
ference? The cars run over the tracks
of a company that does pay taxes.
The Dayton & Western corporation is
exacted a rental for the use of these
tracks. If they did not come into our
city, Richmond would get the same
amount in taxation as at present, but
would have no electric line to the
east. If they do come into the city,
there is no change in the city's reve-
nue., but the merchants and business
men profit. After all. government is
maintained not to accumulate cash.
but to better the condition of the peo-
pie. That point seems to have been
lost sight Of in the present matter and
the public is oppressed by its own mu-
nicipal corporation rather than by any
railway corporation.
lHele 10 III Gail LOT conservative
policy at this time, Every business
man will testify to this statement and
the sentiment OF the commercial body
should be made the controlling factor.
Council should give free right to the
Dayton & Western company to operate
it's passenger and freight cars into
Richmond.

to gaze upon her. She was gowned in
an ecru linen suit, three-Quarters coat
and a hat of contrasting shades OF

RIcHMoND's BUSINESS POLICY.

The consistency of the city attorney
in the electric railway franchise mat
ter is a remarkably well-defined exam
pie of the sort of administration the
city is experiencing under the Schil-
linger democratic regime. If the re-
suits of this administration could be
comedy of errors" but the power is
so held that the only joke is on the
up the Dayton Il Western Traction
company for a franchise and in order
to accomplish this rnd, he declares
himself against the very franchise he
approved, for the Terre Haute, In
dianapolis & Eastern company, but a
short time ago. 1t is a situation that
needs the guiding hand of the Rich
mond business men, else personal
quarrels may be worked into munich
pal affairs.
Mayor Schillinger vas elected on a
pledge to pror:ote business industry in
Richmond but if his business" ideas
consist of building a gateless barb
wire fence around the city. as it would
seem, his original policies should fill
a worthy book. Muncie. Anderson,
Terre Haute, Indianapolis, Dayton, Co
lumbus and Hamilton are progressive
cities, where business has meant bust
ness and not a hedging policy of ultra
conservatism. 1t is just this extrem-
list point of view that has thrown Rich
mond into the rut of tenth-class city.
Last year, the municipality passed its
one hundredth birthday, and never has
It's population reached the dizzying
height of 25.0oo. Cities, like institu-
tions, must either grow or else crum-
BILE and decay. All life is the same:
