ARE COAL MINERS CHEAP

Christmas will be a sad holiday this
year for the families Of the miners
that have been killed In the numer-
Gus bad mine accidents" in differ
ent portions of the country. So fire.
quently are these explosions occurring
that the question arises as to their
cause. Are they really accidental and
an unavoidable feature Of coal min
ing or are the disasters due to a cold
blooded policy on the part of the
mineowners? Could the accidents be
avoided if the owners would content
themselves with smaller dividends and
spend more money safeguarding the
lives of their employees. 1t is evil
dent that sufficient attention is not
given to the safety of the men. Fol
lowing the Leyden disaster the state
labor commissioner of Colorado pre-
dicted others disasters unless radi-
cal steps are taken to safeguard lives.
He declares the mines are in a bad
condition.
Perhaps in the opinions of the Nor
ganheims who own the coal resources
Of America, and are conserving most
Of the coal for future profits, coal
miners are cheap and the supply in
exhaustible, while it would not do at
all to reduce the dividends.

\ CITY OF LIGHT.

The strings Of lights on Main and
Court streets add 70 the brilliance Of
those thoroughfares and the Pacific
Light * Power company is Entitled to
credit for furnishing this Illumination
without cost during Christmas week.
L would be fine if the business sec
ton could be well lighted all the
time. On Main street the merchants
are now installing cluster lights so
rapidly that it will not be long until
that street will have a truly metro
poltan appearance. Also this paper
is Informed that Court street people
are going to "get into the game" by
providing additional strings of in
candescant lights for their street and
by having them turned on every eve
ming.
Go to it, gentlemen. Make Pendle-
ton the City Of Light.

GUARDING THE CANAL.

BY the time the Panama canal is
completed it will have cost the Unit
ed States the sum Of S400 600, 900.
Surely such s piece Of work is worth
guarding. Especially SO since one Of
the best arguments for the canal was
that it would be Of great value 10 this
country from a naval standpoint
When the canal is finished the presi-
dent may order fleet from one ocean
to the other and it won't be neces-
sary for the ships to go around Cape
Corn. This will be of enormous bene-
fit in time Of war.
Yet there are many VINO object to
fortifying the canal. They point to
the enormous cost Of the fortifica-
tons and hold the big ditch should
be made safe through an information
a. treaty. By the same sort Of logic
+sss men could argue that banks
sa-1-d GO away with expensive vaults
and rely Tor the protection OF their
c-l- upon the laws against thieyery.

CONTRACTORS ARE
VERY HOPEFUL
Here's Hoping" They Say
"That Supreme Court
Will Reverse Decision"
CASE ON TRAIL At CAPITAL
Want All Doubts Iemoved as to the
Validity of the Road
Bonds.

Local contractors are hopeful that
the supreme court of Indiana will re-
verse its decision regarding the con-
stitutionality OF the gravel road law
Their interest in the matter is height
ened by the fact that the case was
orally argued before the supreme court
yesterday.
Recently the case was reversed and
the law authorizing gravel roads by
! taxation was declared unconstitution-
al nearly two months ago. Four weeks
later. at the last sitting of the court
before the Christmas holidays, a re-
hearing was granted. The appellants,
who had won at the first hearing, then
demanded an oral argument, and last
Tuesday the case was set for hearing
today.
The first effect of the decision hold
ing the law unconstitutional was to
throw doubt on the validity of out
standing gravel road bonds amounting
to millions of dollars. though many
lawyers have insisted that no bonds

ed that the private company had been
organized. not with the idea of per-
sonal gain, but for the purpose Of pro-
viding electricity for municipal and
private purposes at as low a cost as
possible He said the company agrees
that the city may own As per cent of
the stock of the company and that the
entire plant might be taken over by
the city at the end of a certain period.
A. NJ. Turner told of his experiences
in owning and operating an electric
light plant. He said that there was
very little money in the business and
he did not believe that the duplication
of plants and the duplication of wiring
in the city. which would result from
the competition of two plants, would
be good thing. He said It is a waste
of capital.
Favors Private Capital
Referring to the prospect of munich
pal ownership, he said he did not be-
lieve this is a good thing in the case
of an electric light plant. He said
that Hammond's bonded indebtedness
is already very near the 2 per cent
limit. and in view of the fact that
Hammond is young city and very
much in need of other things that
are urgently needed now, it would be
foolish for the city to go into the cleo
trio lighting business.
This idea seemed to be generally ap-
proved by the business men present,
and the prevailing opinion seemed to
be that the city should make as good
deal with the Northern Indiana Gas
& Electric company as possible and
only enter into the contract with a
competing company if the present COM
pany refuses to make reasonable terms.
There We're a number of expressions
of opinion in favor OF the granting
of the franchise sought by the Ham
mond. Whiting & East Chicago Electric
Railway company, and again the mat
ter was made plain that the Ham
mond Business Mems association is in
favor of the admission of as many in

HAMMOND AFTER
TRACK ELEVATION
(continusd from Psgs L.

the right to force track elevation upon
the payment of their proportion of the
cost.
2. After the enactment of this law
the railroad will be asked to prepare
plans and specifications for track eleva-
ton, and in the event of their failure
to do SO the city will have the right
to employ an engineer to do this work
and the railroad will be assessed their
proportionate share of the cost.
Turner Says Start Now.
A. NJ. Turner. in speaking of track
take from Eve to seven years to bring
track elevation after the campaign had
started and he was in favor of begin
ming right away so that the city could
get results as soon as possible. He
said there would be just about so much
opposition on the part of the rail-
roads. and if Hammond waited five
years before it demanded track eleva-
ton it would take from FIVE to seven
years from that date to compel the
railroads to act.
Mayor Lawrence Becker spoke on the
legal phases of track elevation, and
in his talk showed that he has given
has taken the matter up with the In
dianapo1is authorities and has studied
the campaign that is being carried on In
For Wayne for track elevation. Mayor
Becker read the act under which Fort
Wayne was able to force track eleva-
ton.
Lighting Question UP.
There was much interest shown in
the question of the street lighting con-
tract The meeting resulted in the
uncovering of some good ideas on the
subject.
Mayor Becker told of the experience
other cities have had in securing an
engineer who would draw up the prop
| er specifications for a street lighting
contract He told how most of the
electrical engineers are in sympathy
with the corporations and made the
| contracts with the interests of tho
corporation and not the city, in view
Mayor Becker said that he believed
the letting of the lighting and power
contract in Hammond Is the most i'm
portant matter that has come up be-
fore the city during his administra.
ton.
He showed that the Northern Indiana
Gas Electric company has beer
charging nearly so per cent more 70,
street lights than they are now will
ing to provide them for, and he says
that the cost of power for pumping
the sewage out of the Holman street
sewer is already an enormous figure
He pointed out that when 1t becomes
necessary for the city to pump out the
North Holman street, South Holman
street, North Calumet avenue South
Calumet avenue. North Columbia and
South Columbia avenue sewers the
amount of power the city will have to
buy will be enormous.

so they are turning the tide toward
western Stark county where just as good
land can be purchased at reasonable
figures. Our land men are only asking
moderate advances on their holdings.
