ROADS DO NOT NEED
 INCREASED RATES

The decision of the Interstate Com- merce Commission upon the freight rate question. which was a refusal to allow the increased rates. was wholly unexpected by the roads and by Wall Street It had been believed that the decision would b a compromise. under which the increases would be allowed to some of the roads and refused to others. Under the decision, the roads must cancel the advanced rates before March 10. As a matter of fact, they are not and have not been in opera ; ton. having been enjoined by the commission until investigated.
 Perhaps the most important part of the decision is the intimation that extensions and improvements. the need of which was alleged by the roads as one reason for increased freight rates, should be made through bond issues, instead of being paid for from net earnings. Public service corporations in considerable number have pursued this practice of compelling their patrons to pay for extensions. inn provements. etc.. by high rates If we mistake not. at least one such local corporation Is now acting upon this policy. It's injustice is obvious, and it is pleasing that so high an author fty as the Interstate Commerce Com mission has expressed disapproval of 1t.
 The commission also suggests that the roads should adopt a policy of Economy. declaring that they have not Hone so as yet. It may be legiti- mately inferred that, in the commits eion's opinion, due economy would avert all possible necessity for ad- vances in freight rates. The commits sion Is undoubtedly posted thoroughly upon this matter.
 It also calls attention to the facts that during ten years the Western roads have increased their surplus ac- counts over 100 per cent, and that six months of 1910 showed the largest operating income ever known. Labor cost has increased only to per cent.
 Ii is very clear that the roads are not in any pressing need of advances in freight rates. Certainly not. if the water were eliminated from their capitalization. and their dividends paid only upon capital actually invested.
 But they have a right of appeal to the new Commerce Court and no one can now foreteu the action of that body. There is. however, Bdspicion t.st it was created as a check upon the Interstate Commerce Commis- sion. f

MAY
Be Barred
MONDAY

Something sensational is to be sprung
Monday night by the members OF the
council opposition which Is warning
with Mayor Knots. and from the in
formation available a scandal of huge
proportions, involving graft against
certain contractors and city officials,
will be barred to the public and the
evidence secured will be laid before the
grand jury
Graft Fireworks Begin Monday.
First intimation of the fireworks that
are to follow was given last night when
the council judiciary committee, which
is composed of Aldermen Gibson. Bow
ser and Castleman. met in secret ses-
sion in the council chamber. Here. 1t
is said. that they reviewed some graft
information filed with them.
After the conference it was stated
by one Of the trio who attended the
closed session that Monday night the
council will name subcommittee to
assist the judiciary committee in the
investigation about to begin.
While the aldermen were secretive
about the nature of the investigation
they let it be known that unnamed
contractors and city officials will be
hailed before the grand jury as the re-
suit of the probe they are about to
make. They stated that the council
will sit as a committee of the whole
and will conduct it's own hearings with
its special attorney.
Witnesses, city officials and con-
tractors will be subpoenaed the same
as in a court, as the statutes permit
the council to issue summonses just
like a judicial body when 1t conducts
formal investigations.

formation available are as follows:
1. Justices OF the peace are alleged
to have been subpoenaed before the
Grand Jury to show cause why they
have permitted boarding house liens to
be issued to recover saloon bills.
=. Crimes and acts of violence which
were the outgrowth of Gary labor con
ditions are being Investigated, accord :
ing to report
s. Lax enforcement of the law in
East Chicago and Indiana Harbor is
said to be the subject of an investiga-
ton.
l. number OF murder cases are be-
ing Investigated.
8. An investigation may be started
stone companies to certain county and
township officials. other matters in
volving official graft may come up.
SECRECY PREVAILS.
1t is of course impossible to say au-
thoritively just what are the matters
under consideration. The secrecy that
prevails and the necessity, in the in
terests of the public veal. OF keeping
the proceedings quiet until arrests are
made makes the proceedings a matter
OF conjecture.
This much is quite certain and that is
that the present session of the grand
jury will last at least six weeks That
gives an idea Of the work that is out
lined.
1t is believed that the fear of God
and a more wholesome respect for the
laws OF the state of Indiana will result
from the action of the present grand
jury

explain the trustees and assessors bill
Charles E. Pittenger. president OF the
State Trustees association. also spoke
in behalf of the bill. The committee
adjourned without having taken any
action on the measures before it, The
hearings. however, were completed
with the meeting yesterday and addi-
tional information will be filed with
the committee in the form of briefs.
Mr.. Fischer told the committee that
he could not employ competent depu-

ceives salary of 5000 and out of this
pays office rent of $22 a month There
