HAMMOND
TO HAVE A
NEW BANK

The commercial Importance of the
great east side of Hammond has been
recognized by the determination OF a
number of Responsible business men in
Hammond 10 start a trust company and
bank IN that sect fon OF the eitys lo-
cation in tlfs vl,lnity OF stats stresr
and Calumet avenue is under constdera-
fion. The new bank will be known as
the East side Trust & Savings bank.
The personnel OF the new bank. the
exclusive story r the Incorporation of
which appeared In THE TIMES Saturday,
IS as follows. William Herkner. presi-
dent: e. Ulrich. vice president, and
Floyd Irish. secretary treasurer. The
directors. besides the officers, are John
c. Becker and Arnold Keldenich.
The new bank is TO be incorporated
for $4,000. and will be exceedingly
conservative in its policy. It is the
purpose of the officers and directors
to build up the foundations of a big
! institution slowly and strongly
They recognize the fact that the
center of population of Hammond is
far removed from its present business
district and that the future will see the
creation of new business district on
Calumet avenue that will be of great
size and Importance.
The new bank will have the advan-
tage of being located in this rapidly de-
veloping district and will build up with
it. The opening of Calumet avenue
from Lake Michigan to the country
districts south of the Little Calumet
river is sure to make it an important
street, and 1t Is believed by the pro.
moters that they are initiating a pro.
ject which will result in the building
of a large number of business house,
on the street during the coming year.

CAMPAIGN
FOR MEMBERS
INITIATED

A preliminary organization which
is to stand BACK sof T the campaign for
members to a. nayv4 com1nercial club
" hichsis to be started IN Hammond, met
at the University club yesterday after
noon and employed MessTs. j. p Bar
ricklow and F.. w. Bender to Initiate
a campaign for members.
The personnel of the preliminary or
ganizatfon is Harry NJ johnson, pesi-
dent; Roscoe E. Woods, secretary-treas-
urer. and the following committee,
which is to draft the cons titution and
bylaws and incorporate the club: O. A
Krinbill. Walter Hammond. Edgar
Johnston. A. Nj. Turner and Roscoe E.
Woods
Under the terms Of the agreement
with the expert organizers who have
been employed they must put on at
least $50 members before those who
take memberships are bound to their
contracts
Under this arrangement the club will
be organized on a business basis from
the very start. 1t will have a paid sec
retary and will have an income suffci-
enf to pay for the rent of Its quarters.
But instead of $50 members those
who are backing the enterprise believe
that they can secure membership of
, between ESQ and 900. This will make 1t
possible for the new club to take its
position with such clubs as that which
represents Gary. East Chicago. Indiana
Harbor and Whiting.
mass meeting Is to be held at the
University Club next wednesday even
ing. at which the whole plan of cam
paign will be explained to those who
are interested No subscriptions for
! membership will be taken at this meet
ing.
The campaign which will be inau-
gurated will be one OF the most unique
that the city of Hammond has ever
known. 1t will set the town afire with
interest and enthusiasm. and after it is
all over the city will have a civic or
! ganization of which it is all over the
+. city will have a civic organization OF
which 1t may well be proud.

And Everybody
Tried TO Guess
the Right One

A combination of Republicans, Dem
ocrats, Socialists and independent
champions of the government tangled
ideas and almost cuffed each others
ears yesterday afternoon in front OF
Spencer's hardware store on State
street, after warm debate as to
what presidential candidate, whose pic
lures decorate the rim of dial sup
porting revolving hand, will be sue
cessful The hand ON the dial at in
tervals points to the photo Of a can
didate, and the question posted in the
window is the much-mooted one at
present. "Who will 1t be-" Down
with the trusts shouted the Socialist
supporter; "Hooray for Teddy"
whooped an independent; ooh, you
Wilson" piped a third, and so ON
through the crowd until the candidates
had been fittingly represented. Then
came arguments, then tepid words, fol-
lowed by extra hot ones until finally
a real political convention was in full
sway The chickering's were suddenly
brought to close, however, when a
good-natured passerby yelled three
cheers for William Bryan.

Wants a Uniform
System Of Meeting
Public Accounts

Believing the working out of the
Plan will result in a saving Of money
in the rendering of accounts in the
several counties of the state, Governor
West will submit to the state legisla-
ture scheme for a uniform method
through which the county officials
shall report their accounts instead of
allowing each official to work out his
own system.
The governors plan is that the en-
tire system of accounting shall be un-
der the supervision of the secretary
of state, and that the reports of the
county officials shall be submitted di-
rectly to that official, Governor West
has completed a tentative outline of
the plan.
The governor believes that eXtraya-
gance in state government is due
largely to the inability of the state to
keep a check of the accounts and to
gather information. AS an example
of the nefficiency of the present sys-
tenn the governor cites the interstate
commerce commission which has
found it impossible to make investiga-
ton into the accounts of the different
railroad companies because of the va
riety of systems employed by them
which makes a comparing Of cost
units impossible.
Governor West believes the taXpay-
ers throughout the state will be recip-
tents of much benefit by the new sys-
tenn If it is inaugurated. The annual
reports of the county officials, after
having been put into the hands Of the
secretary of state, would be published
IN a sufficiently full manner as to en-
able the taxpayers in each county to
compare the figures with those of 9TH
er counties.
Another class of people who would
be benefited would be those whose
business makes it necessary for them
to investigate the records in counties
other than those in which they make
their homes. Should the change be
authorized by the legislature, the plan
in detail will probably be worked out
by a conference of the secretary Of
state with the county clerks of the
various counties The governor thinks
that with a system of accounting
which would result in all figures 60
ing into the hands of the secretary o.
state and later published for dlstrbu
ton throughout the state, the county
officials would use much more cart
than under the present system in theil
expenditures.

you think he was some fool Judge un-

RED INK THE REASON
FOR THAT NEW HAT

WiNam Esch, the genial deputy
sheriff is logged out today in brand
new hat When asked for an explana-
tlon as to how he came to be decked
out so gaily in the skypiece, he made
some remark about It being in COM
pensation for some derogatory re-
marks made by one Of the attorneys in
a recent trial in which Mr.. Esch was
referred to as Mr.. Etch. A better ex-
PLANTATION, however, is found in the
fact that yesterday one OF the circuit
court clerks,in her haste to move some
books, came in contact with bottle of
red ink, which, in turn, changed the
color of Mr. Esch's hat several shades
which rendered II out of style.

The following editorial from the FL

The people of oregon owe it to them
selves to devote as much time as pos

vening between now and election day.
1t is good business policy to do so, for
the laws which will be either rejected
or adopted are laws that vitality affect

be studied carefully and on election

which he intends to vote "Yes" or

The Play
Last Night
Was Great
BIG THEATRE FILLED AND STAND
ING ROOM SCARCE-ONE CON-
TINUOUS ROUND OF AMUSING
SITUATIONS.

"Officer G66" showed his efficiency
last night by running in the biggest
audience that has warmed the Grand
opera house for many a day Every
seat was sold, every box filled and
standing room was crowded to its Inn
t. Notwithstanding the size OF the
audience there was plenty Of fun and
hilarity and thorough enjoyment for
all of them, and some to spare 1t
isn't much as a play but as string
on which to string pearls of wit and
the opalescent CLEANS of humor 1t was
great From the first curtain to the
last it was full of vim and vigor, life
and movement, snap and CO. pepper
and ginger, and the Jamaica kind at
that.
The company is a remarkably
strong and well balanced one, every
part Of the "acting machinery" being
the best possible for the place. Space
forbids extended comment, for to do
it Justice in that line would compel
writeup of each and every individual
member Of the company
The weather was about as nasty a
kind as could be imagined, with fierce
showers, and some wind but rain and
darkness and discomfort combined
could not keep the play lovers away
and they braved the storm cheerfully
and were glad they did This is anoth-
er big feather in Manager Waters cap

booked for the season, it is fair to pre-
sumo that gentleman's managerial
headpiece will sprout plumes that will
