London and Its Lumber.

London is the most conservative city
In Europe, II not In the world. 1t loves
its lumber. You may still see those
notices attached to lamp posts which
announces Standing for Four Hack
ney Carriages" or whatever the num-
ber may be, though for ten years (in
one case, to my own knowledge for
twenty-five) no vehicles OF any kind
have stood there. Perhaps 1t Is as well
that these relics should remain: they
are a tiny part of our social history.
They will probably remain when we
are flying to dinner or the theater in
omni-aeros. BY that time people won't
know. what hackney carriage" meant.
and there will be discussions In the
"Notes and Queries" Of the period.

boss has access to the machine either through the
inspector or the voters themselves. In both cases
the machine places the vote of the people in his
hands
But even if the machine were not so salts
factory to the political bosses it would still be
satisfactory to the rank and file of voters. The
most widespread popular complaint against it
has been on the grounds of its completely. Be-
cause of the limited time permitted by law many
voters grow confused in the presence of the
familiar completely of the mechanism and are
not able to vote mixed ticket as desired or some
times, in their haste, don't succeed in voting at
ALL Furthermore, the machine destroys for the
voter the secrecy of his ballot. A man the out
side of the booth can learn from the clicking of
the levers whether or not straight ballot has
been cast and the Inspector as above mentioned
has the means of determining the actual ballot
of any given voter By this means the voter is
often unwillingly placed under the thumb of a
political boss.
1t is not the corrupt politician alone who en-
dangers the franchise through the voting ma
chine; an election may be swung about simply
through oversight or carelessness on the part of
the inspector or clerks. In Stony creek town.
ship, Henry county, an election inspector failed
properly to turn a reel back to zero after inspec-
ton and consequently threw the election over to
the very the people had defeated. This was
taken into court and caused considerable trouble.
If every voter were familiar with complex ma
chinery, if every election inspector were an ex-
pert and strictly honest man, and if there were
no devices possible for fixing" the machine we
would accept it. But until that time comes we
shall oppose every effort to install them in
Wayne county voting booths.

A New Era in Industrial Evolution.

We are evolving rapidly these days and one
often grows bewildered in keeping pace with the
quick changes of modern business movements,
but there is ample evidence to show that another
new era, widespread and transforming, is dawn
ing. The convention of the National Association
of Corporation Schools being held in Dayton
and reported in the Palladium is one among many
evidences of the new industrial policy.
Every industry grows through the develop
ment of its raw material resources, its markets
and it's employees. Hitherto the policy generally
has been to center all attention on the two form
err. 1t was supposed that the employee is fixed
quantity whose efficiency and productiveness
could be very little controlled.
Today employers and industrial experts are
beginning to see that in their laborers there are
great resources lying untouched and no man can
what may be realized by complete develop
ment of them. Among many means resorted to
for the development of productive power the
school idea seems to be most successful. APP
prentices, new men and inefficient or badly train
ed men sent to school during part of each
day and there taught at the companys expense
and by experts the methods of efficient work. II
has been conclusively shown that this expendi-
ture is more than justified through the increased
ability of the men.
The conception of the employee as source
of income to be developed like any other re-
source is, say new, but it is here to stay. And
the discovery that money spent in developing
efficiency is money we'll invested ranks second
to no discovery ever made in the business world
Let hope we will some day come to the
point in Indiana where can see that it will be
good business economy to employ trained and eff
ficent administrative experts to manage our city
affairs for us.

OF DAYTON
ORDERS GAS PROBE
Citizens i'm Petition Demand
Investigation of Poor
Service.
ASK FOR MORE GAS
Service Given Indiana Cities
Because of Higher
Rates.
ASK FOR MORE GAS
Special Staff Correspondence

DAYTON, O., Sept. 1S.-Called in
open session Tuesday evening, the
city council, as a committee OF the
whole, moved to make whatever in
vestigations were necessary regard
ing the service given by the Dayton
Natural Gas company Six hundred
residents had signed a petition de-
handing a councilmanic probe.
The petitioners asserted that eX-
tensive sections of the city are I'M
able TO obtain gas, that the company
seems unable to furnish it, that this
was contracted for in the franchise,
and that steps should be taken by the
city authorities to compel the concern
to distribute more gas.
Replies to Petition.
President Edw. Hanley replied to
the petition for the corporation and
encountered by the company.
Our local concern owns no gas
fields and does not control its own
supply" he said. 1T is merely dis
tributing agency. Its capital is in
vested in service equipment only. The
Union Natural Gas corporation, one of
the two great gas supply corporations
in the nation, and owning the great
est gas fields in the world, supplies
us for 1874 percent of gross reve-
nues.
"At the present time we have a con-
tract by which this concern is fur
nishing us gas through a ten inch
main Owing to the inadequacy of the
supply thus made possible it is quite
out of the question for us to extend
our service. We do not have gas
enough to supply the consumers now
using our service.
The Union Natural Gas Corpora
ton is now piping the surplus from
its West Virginia fields to cities in
Indiana, among which are Richmond,
Muncie, Anderson and KokOmO. In
this section of the country we know
of the Union Natural Gas corporation
as the Logan Natural Gas company.
Asked to explain why the corpora
| ton was able to pipe its surplus into
| Indiana but was unable to furnish
enough to supply the needs Of Dayton
Mr.. Hanley replied, I'VE are paying
! for private consumption at the rate
! of 80 cents a thousand; the cities into
! which the new line is going will pay
| A cents per thousand for the same
gas. They are cutting US short and
sending it there because they can get
more money for it there"
The Dayton company was accused
| by Attorney Robert Nevins, of turning
its natural gas into it's artificial gas
mains and selling 80 cent natural gas
! for 80 cents. Mr.. Hanley expleined
that much natural gas was used In
the artificial gas plant in the process
of manufacture and that once in g
while a little natural gas was turned
into the artificial mains for the pur
pose of cleansing them from naptha
line which almost always accumulate:
! in artificial gas pipes.
The council decided to make in
vestigations and to report to the citi
! Zens later.
