the boards at the commissioners court

of East Chicago hearing the evidence
for the dispositions to be sent to the
legislature Charles Surprise was sub
jected to further grilling by Attorney
Seyfried. and has been ordered to sub
nit the records of his Office IN evil
dence, but whether this will be COM
piled with remains matter OF con-
lecture, as 1t is salt that he has re-
ceived learned instructions as to the
position to be taken in the matter OF
removing said books. Republican
County Chairman Schaaf was also ex-
anined by the counsel for Simon, but
his testimony lent scant aid to the
democratic cause, in fact, added great
deal of strength to the opposition. II
was brought out that the democratic
party leaders also did a great deal of
connering and were pulling to get the
''Hunky" vote and up to week be-
fore election practically had things all
landed up for a democratic victory.
After questioning Schaaf at length,
Charles Surprise was again called and
the session ended with the deputy
United States commissioner in the chair.
1t is said at the present rate that the
taking of the deposition may consume
nearly three wekes' time, but If the
democratic cause does not make more
gains than 1t has recently, the leaders
will wish they had never heard of a

Chicago Doesn't Want Competition

The city of Chicago does not want,
and will not submit to competition in
telephone service. It wants one serv-
ice, and it wants that service the best,
and it has full power to get and keep
what it wants.
The proposal of the independent COM
oil, an delectric light, as reported in
The Tribune of Friday, is in effect
this: that we shall accept the confusion
petition within the city and receive in
compensation the privilege of long dis
lance service with Independent systems
outside of the city.
The bargain deserves no considera-
ton 1t is worthless for two suf-
ficient reasons. First, the maintenance
of two telephone system in the city
will not be tolerated for a moment.
AS other cities know. it is a nuisance
without a redeeming feature. 1t is be-
yond reason costly in money, time, and
patience. The business community
would not tolerate and the great mass
of telephone users could not afford it
The telephone is not only a natural
monopoly. It is an inevitable mon
opoly.
The community is already served by
an extensive system which is first in
the field, and perhaps for that reason
| in some sense deserving of such prior
consideration as the public interest
allows.
| Meanwhile, the Illinois Tunnel COM
pany has been unwilling or unable to
develop its promised competing system
la most fortunate circumstance both
for itself and the community.

fusion of our transportation systems
