Municipal Honesty" was the sub.

Attorney James w. Fortune of JET
fersonville. Mr.. Fortune said that
the best outline which any city offlcial
on entering Office can adopt is to
stand for strict economy in handling
public funds. The officer who takes
Office should give in service dollar

as salary. The books of the city
should be open to inspection by every
citizen who wishes to inspect them.

John Mcvicar Says Des Moines
People Should Come Here
for Lessons.
CITY CALLED BEAUTIFUL

The Hon. John MacVicar, who was
shown over the city yesterday. says
he has never seen city of this size
with better streets and sidewalks. He
says it is the cleanest city he has
ever had the privilege of inspecting.
Mr.. MacVicar especially admired the
macadam streets. He says that Indi-
ana people have come to Des Moines
for plan of government. but that Des
Moines should come to Richmond for
a plan of the city beautiful" He as
cribes the beauty of Richmond to the
combination of improvements in the
different yarts of the city. Rich
mond's interesting places are not
punched" as so often occurs in cities
but are we'll scattered at the most eff
fective points.

the selection Of minor heads of depart

was temptation to remember politi-

opinion took hand and the appoint

spirit OF the new government.

and city employees given a new sched-

lected for the laborers were held re-
sponsible. Inspectors were required to
inspect and shovelers to shovel. Con-

the first time that the specifications
had some bearing upon the construct
ton.

served, taxes were cut a few mills

law was first tried and was about to
be repealed delegation from Rich
mond to Indianapolis had much in
huence in keeping that law on the
books until it should get fair trial,
Shank Made Big Hit.
The big hit of the evening by way
OF entertainment was the speech OF
Mayor Shank of Indianapolis, who
responded to the toast Some Shop
Talk" Mayor Shank told of his trou-
Dies in Office saying that they had cost
aim all the hair of his head which
he had not lost previously as an auc-
tioneer. He said he was trying to do
his duty but that it was mighty hard
He said that since coming into Office
he had letter from a lady in Wash
ington who wanted to know the name
of potato chip factory in Indianapo.
lis A good lady in Texas wanted to
sell parrot and wanted the mayors
opinion OF its talking abilities. In In
dianapolis man asked permission to
kill his neighbor's cat. The mayor
told him to go ahead and kill them all
Yesterday he said a woman of North
Vernon wrote him asking If he could
furnish the name of a person who
could send her a pretty girl baby
about one year old.
The mayor told the story of his life
saying that he first started out to be
a horse doctor. After killing his
neighbours horse he changed profess
sions, becoming an auctioneer. The
| mayor "fessed up on the Indianapolis
liquor proposition saying that Sun
day when he took long cold bottle
out of his ice chest at home he won
| dered what the poor fellows down
| town who did not have an ice chest
were doing" The mayor said, how
ever, that so long as closing laws were
on the statute books he would enforce
them.
| Becker an Earnest Man.
Mayor Lawrence Becker of Ham.
mond is municipal officer deeply in
earnest and he showed it last evening
The mayor spoke Of the graft and fren
zied finance which controls the Indi
ana cities. He said that often in two
minutes on some dark night a city il
tied up by franchise for fifty years
Mayor Becker has little faith in the
honesty of one man and therefore
wants laws which will not permit ar
officer to do wrong. He favors The
Minnesota plan which permits eact
city in charter convention to adop
the kind of government which i
thinks best suited to it's needs. TIL;
stringent laws he spoke of as favor
ing were accounting laws.
The last toast on the program ant
by far the most eloquent was by Hon
w. D. Foulke, speaking on civil Ser
vice Reform in Municipalities" Mr.
Foulke reviewed the history of civi
service reform as it grew in nationa
affairs until today it controls 235.O0'
Offices. He said that the man mos
instrumental in bringing about tina
reform was his old chief, Theodor
Roosevelt.
Mr.. Foulke showed how civil servic
is being applied to municipalities al
over the country, where cities ar
adopting the commission plan. H
said that recent cities and towns &C
of Indiana provided for the applica
ton of civil service whenever the cit.
administration wishes it. He close,
with strong appeal for this reform
in Indiana and asked that Richmond
take the lead.

.ENDEAVOR TO CARE FOR
MARICOPA-MIOWAY OIL
Both Producers and Standard
Install Additional Pumps and
Storage Tanks

BAKERSFIELD May 15.-Both the
Producers Transportation company
and the Standard are making efforts to
take care of the heavy production Of
the Maricopa- Midway field. The Pro
ducers is installing additional pumps,
which will enable it to handle $4,000
barrels daily as far as McKittrick. but
as the capacity of the main line from
Junction to Port Hartford is but $4,000,
and there is the Coalnga and McKit-
trick production to handle, the com
pany will not be able to take that
much Midway oil to tidewater.
Storage is to be provided all along
the line, and grading for six $1,000
barrel tanks is now being done at Nc
Kittrick This finished, the crew will
grade out for two more 55's in Midway
and two in Maricopa, on Union ground.
At present the oil which reaches Port
Hartford is being loaded directly into
the tank steamers, but large storage
is to be provided at Santa Margarita,
eighteen miles from the end of the line.
The Standard is rushing work on its
pipe line from Midway to Kern river,
where it has large storage pipe
gang working from the Kern river end
has reached the Southern Pacific track
and another pipe laying crew Is oper-
ating on the west side. Until this
line is finished the Standard will not
attempt to bring in any of its big wells
that are now quiescent.

AGENCIES DECLINE TO
TAKE POLITICAL SIDES

SAN FRANCISCO, May 15.-Both the
Coalinga and Bakersfield agencies have
declined to enter the fight on the land
Withdrawal question.
Several times in the past attempts
have been made to draw the agencies
into denouncing or faVoring some form
of proposed legislation; each time it has
failed. For several years Congressman
Smith has had a bill pending in Wash
ington to change existing land laws and
the agencies have been importuned to
indorse these but have consistently re-
fused to take any stand whatever.
This is explained on the ground that
their business is marketing oil; they
are composed of men of many different
views and different interests, and
should they go outside their province a
feud might be created that would seri-
ously endanger their success.
Their policy is and, it is asserted, al
ways will be to contine themselves
strictly to the handling and marketing
of crude oil Other matters, no matter
what might be the view taken of them
or their effect upon certain branches of
the industry will have to be looked out
for by individuals or by other organiza-
tions formed for that purpose.
