For instance. let us take the Journal. of
August 81, 1906: it carried an editorial, three
columns wide, almost a full page. The head
line is
"The Free White Mem of Georgia Are Fit TO Rule
Themselves" Etc.
The first line makes defiant reference to
"Wall Street franchise Kings"
Then comes the statement
"Today, the railroads run the State. They
run it politically and commercially" etc.
(That was before the special rate given to
Manchester)
."Railroad attorneys, railroad employees,
lobbyists, distributors of free passes they are;
and it is their function to affiliate with the
politicians and win to the support of rail-
road policies" Then there comes bitter al

out Special Privileges to any, for a strict con-
struction Of the Constitution, for the mainten-
ance Of States Rights, for "the separation of

MONEY

ELASTIC
A Number of Important
Building Projects in Gary
Will Be Financed by Out
side Capital; New Struc-
lures to Be Put Up at Once

A more elastic state in the Gary
money market is now seen and appli-
cations for loans for bnlidiDg projects
which have been held back for the past
few months on account of unsettled
conditions, and loans aggregating
thousands of dollars have been secured
from outside sources of immediate use
II. financing local building operations.
w I Patterson of tie Gary Brok-
erage and Insurance mas placed several
important loans in the past ten day.;
secured from outside bankers. and as
a result two building projects will be
commenced at once when have been
held back for some time Reports at
the local banks indicated that money
is easier and that a few small loans;
have been made. While the strike is;
given as the chief cause in the re-
fusal of larger loans yet the concerns
who have made loans in Gary state
that other conditions are much moro
favorable than few weeks ago. The
ascribe these conditions as
1. Contract of the American Bridge
Company houses under open shop plan.
2. General resumption of operations
at Indiana steel mills.
3. Starting of operation OF Ameri-
units.
4. Gradual resumption of building
activities in the city proper.
The report that loans are again
| available in Gary even in small
amounts is indeed good news here and
| it will mean that when building opera
| tions and other conditions become more
settled that no end of money will be-
gin to flow into the banks from out
side sources and Gary will see the big
gest year in its history.
| The persons from whom the above
loans were secured look upon the
strike as minor consideration an
state that in their opinion the resum-
ing of the mills and the operation d
other Industries in Gary lead them .c
| feel assured that they were safe in
placing their money here. The build
ling of the 142 houses for the American
Bridge Company under the open shop
plan will mean the breaking OF tn.
straike in Gary.
| A prominet Gary man who is In q
position to know and who is familial
with the situation said that a settle
ment would be reached in the presen
strike situation not later than a month
hence
General conditions look better n
every line in Gary. A visit was made
to offices of all the Gary architects by
a TIMES reporter and he found them al
4 busy and in an optimistic frame O
mind. One architect has three Other
ldraughtsmen. at work besides himsel
and stated that at present he had al
he could do. OF course the architect
and contractors are very reticent an
will say little regarding prospective

optimistic.
