WATCHING
NEXT TEAM
LEGISLATURE
TIMES BUREAU.
AT STATE CAPITAL.

Indianapolis, Ind. May 23.-Public
service corporations and other allied
interests evidently bent on play
ing safe in the next Indiana legisla-
ture. 1t begins to look like they are
going to take no chances on the cleo
ton of a Legislature that will be radi-
cal in the direction of the enactment
of public utilities commission law or
anything else that will have tend
ency to curb their powers and privil-
eyes.
Already reports come from over the
state that the public service corpora
tions are taking hand in the nomina-
lions of candidates for the state sen
ate and for the House. The traction
interests and other public utilities
corporations captured the Democratic
state convention and made the plat
form to suit themselves. The result
was that everything that was expected
to be placed in the platform in the
way of progressive declarations and
everything that looked like an in
dorsement of laws for the control aud
curtailment of corporations was left
out. The platform is silent the
tome on the subject of public utili-
ties commission law. and that promises
to be the one big issue before the leg
/ islature next winter.
| 1t is true that most of the utilities
] companies of the state have declared
in favor of such ommission, but
when il comes to a show down they
| appear to want the law framed 20
suit themselves in order that they ma Y
not lose any of the advantages they
NOW possess. That was the spirit that
dominated the Democratic state CON
lvention and kept the Democratic stat e
platform silent that proposition.
The corporations hope to keep the sub
ject out of both state platforms, so
that when the Legislature meets Meth
er side vii be bound by platform
declarations in regard to the matter.
Then, if the corporations are able to
nominate and elect considera BILE
number of members of the legislature
they will be in a position TO dictate
! the form of the bill. They will have
| a sufficient number of members to
make them factor in any Legislation,
and these members will be effective
trading stock to be used in trades for
support from other directions.
| In this city, for instance. the Demo-
cratic organization has made up a
| slate of legislative candidates that is
interesting. it has been dictated by
Thomas Taggart. who is the man on
whom the corpora lions and large in
terests depend to make things safe for
] them. This slate is made up of can

and many water, light. gas
and heat companies of the state, is on
record as favoring public utilities
commission, and 1t is now working on
a plan for bill which will be fair to
the public and to the corporations as
well, but this organization does not
include the traction companies the
railroad companies. These latter are
the corporations which will be most
affected by the enactment of a public
utilities commission law. Such q law
would create commission which
would have power to regulate rates
and control the issue of securities by
public service corporations. This
would be said blow to the tractor,
interests, and to some of the railroads
for the traction companies in Indiana
have had a free hand in the issuance
of securities and the watering of their
stock as they pleased. This would al
be changed by the enactment of this
right kind of public utilities com.
mission law, and this is what the trac-
ton interests are seeking to head off
This explains why they were SO MAXI
Gus to prevent the Democratic stat.
platform from making any declare tior
in favor of such a law. 1t also ex
plains why they are so anxious to die
tate nominations for the legislature.

ever has been brought together in one
contest.
Last year there were more entries,
but only the fastest cars have been en-
tered for the second race. anu the ter
rife speed and endurance in the
gruelling fray were too great for many
to tackle again. With about one ex-
eeption all of the cars this time were
among the fastest in the first 500-mile
race, which furnished the most spec
tacuiar contest ever witnessed in mo-
toring annals. II is believed that the
average speed will be as high as
seyenty-nine miles per hour. The last
race brought out an average of 74.61
miles for the fve-century distance.
Almost without exception the pilots
who are practicing for the big race
believe that the new record will equal
that established for 800 miles on the
road al Santa Monica Some have ven
tured the opinion that eighty miles
per hour will be necessary for the
winning car Last year the drivers
were correct in their estimate of
speed. most of them saying that sew
enty-four or sevsnty-fve miles per
hour would be the result
Despite the fact that the eliminat-
ing speed was set at seventy-five miles
per hour for one full lap of the track,
most of the motors which have been
specially built for the race carry from
zoe to i2o miles per hour beneath
their bpnnets. This great speed ca
pacity is provided because the re-
quirements of the race may make it
necessary to have ii at times, and
sufficient power must be held in re-
serve so that the motors Will not be
strained in maintaining an average OF
about eighty miles.
