HOUSTON RELATES PLAIN FACTS
Continued from page H.

ance. Among these are the state de-
partments of agriculture and the state
colleges of agriculture. That all of
them have done good work no one can
question; that some of them have done
superb work many will gladly recog-
nize; that some of them have not lived
up to their opportunities admits of no
manner of doubt"
Touching upon the subject of rural
credits he said
"One thing is clear, the schemes
hat are multiplying which conceive
the farmer to be mendicant and a
subject for unique and special legisla-
ton may be at once condemned. The
American farmer does not need or de-
sire to be classed with those foreign
people who are just emerging from a
condition of serfdom and tutelage. He
asks no opportunity that is not af-
forded to every American citizen; he
asks for no legislation which shall give
him credit on easier terms than his
brother mechanic or his professional
friend or merchant may secure it. But
he does ask to be assisted in creating
conditions and machinery which shall
enable him on similar credit founda-
ton to secure his money at the same
rates as any other class in the COM
munity. This, and this alone, it
seems to be is all that he asks and is
nothing less than he deserves.
Il am not impressed with the wis
dom and the justice of proposals that
would take the money of all the peo-
PIE through bonds or other devices
and lend it to the farmers or to any
other class at rate of interest lower
than the economic conditions would
normally require and at rate of in
terest lower than that at which other
classes are securing their capital. This
would be special legislation of a par
ticularly odious type, and no new ex.
cursions in this direction would be
palatable when we are engaged in the
gigantic task of restoring the simple
rule of equity.
1T is absolutely clear that before
the problems of rural credit and of
marketing, the individual farmer. act.
ing alone, is helpless. Nothing less
than concerted action will suffice. Co
operation is absolutely essential. The
same business sense and the same Or
ganizing genius which have placed
this nation in the front rank in indus
try must be invoked for agriculture.
Il am not advocating an organiza.
ton which shall attempt to establish
closed market and 10 fix prices" he
said in closing. 81 am advocating sim.
ply an economic arrangement which
will facilitate production and enable
the producer to find his readiest and
best market for his product and the
consumer to receive his supplies at the
lowest cost"

PETITIONERS ASK
FOR CONCRETE WORK
Property Owners are Turning t.
More Permanent Methods of
improving the Streets.

It is probable that there will be
little more macadam used in the fu-
ture in building new streets in the
city and many Of the present macad-
am streets will be replaced with
brick or concrete. There are fewer
petitions for improvements specifying
madacam as the material to be used.
The city commissioners have also
voiced their disapproval OF the ex-
tensive use of macadam.
This morning petitions were pre-.
scented to the council for the improve.
ment OF High street from Fifteenth
street to Sixteenth street to be paved
with concrete and for the alley be
tween High, Morgan, Seventh and
Eighth to be paved with concrete
Numerous other improvements have
been ordered in lately in which con
crete is the material used
While a concrete street must be
built with care to make 1t worth the
while 1t is considered by many su
perfor to madam II properly built
The general sentiment seems to be
for improvements that require little
maintenance.

T%ammany's Overplayed Hand

New York Post: The Tammany
leaders are visibly waking up to a
fact which must be the most mortify-
ing possible to hardened political
gamblers like themselves. They have
bet too high on their cards. They
have oVerplayed their hand. Seeking
to win everything, they now see them
selves in peril of losing everything. On
all sides they perceive signs that their
~etfrontery and their greed are provok-
ing a tremendous reaction against
them. The whole appearance of the
city campaign has completely changed
within q week. Tammany is thrown
into confusion and CONSERVATION by a
series Of terrific attacks. Up and down
the city the name of Murphy has be-
come the signal for cries of eXecration.
Most alarming Of all to the Tammany
mind, the election betting odds have
gone about IN now favor Mitchell
Many who were expecting to vote for
Mccall are abandoning him. The Sun

Their Articles in his praise. Evarts is
said to have remarked to a republi-
can orator, about to make speeches
for Blaine, that he could understand
how a man might vote for Blaine, but
did not see how anybody could de-
fend him. In very much hat plight
stands the Tammany candidate, with
the election only eleven days away.
indications are not lacking that
Tammany is at last conscious that it
has been grossly OVERRIDING it these
past few weeks. This is especially
the case in the matter of it's dealings
with Sulzer. It's savage turning on
IN dc pal like him now begins to

a crime. The Tammany leaders
thought that they could destroy Sui
ger; but, like the assassin who rushed
upon Giuliano del Medici, in their fury
they wounded themselves with their
own daggers. The poorer a creature
they mad Sulzer out, the more
de~spicable did they themselves ap-
pear. SulZer has now only to har-
angue the east side, and bowls of rage
at Murphy, with threats of VENGEANCE
on Tammany, fill the air. Never was
there a clearer proof that those poll
ttcians do not know their own bust
ness who do not use their power
moderately; that a grievance such as
Tammany has given Sulzer is a
powerful hake-weight in politics; and
less pressing of an advantage over an
opponent in public life is the greatest
mistake that anybody in public life
can make. .
To all this, the days news bears
witness that Tammany is finally be-
coming alive. 1t is I'm peu tard, as
La Fontaine and Charles r. Murphy
would say, but it has come. There
was given out yesterday, for example,
a positive statement that all the ma
terial against Sulzer which the Tam
many lawyers had gathered together,
but which was not used in the i'm
parchment trial, since it was being
reserved as the basis of cross-exam-
lining him, was to be published. But
today that purpose have become sick
lied DER by the demonstration of the
way in which people in this city are
acclaiming Sulzer as at once the VIC
tim and now the sworn enemy of
Murphy, and it is announced that no
such publication will be made. SINH

that Sulzer was to be criminally in

7enry Hanson Hoff Is Charged With
Obtaining Money Under False
@.. Pretences.

Henry Hanson IIoff appeared before
Judge Miller this morning to plead his
case, on the charge of obtaining money

lie was arraigned for cashing a Ger
tltlcate of deposit which was not his
own, and for which he obtained a sum
or money, and a quantity of clothes,
at the Siegel store. He stoutly denies
that he endorsed the check, and, in

asserts that he gave this man the
money which he obtained.
When arrested Hoff had on the new
clothes which he had bought, and the
court inquired how he came to be
wearing there clothes, if, as he said,
he was merely acting as the other
mans agent. Hoff said that the other
man gave him the new clothes, and
took his, Hoff's in exchange. The,

Calls Attention to Improbable Operation of W~aterworks
by California Municipalities in Article

ut might be Of interest to many
readers of The Forum to know some
thing Of what is being done II other
states to put the management of pub
lie utilities on a sound financial and
operating basis" said Frank LaF. An
ders, the city engineer, today.
The general public does not have
ready access to the current infOrma-
ton along these lines. and it Is the
opinion Of the writer, judging from
the questions he has to answer every
day. that the progress of the several
states relating to these questions
would be of more than passing inter-
est.
"A recent number of Engineering
and Contracting, published by r. P:
Gillette, q recognized authority on tho
financing NJ operation Of water
works, says, in an editorial entitled,
Improbable Operation of Waterwork!s
by California municipalities:
"'An interesting series Of articles
on the economics Of municipal owner
ship appeared in The San Francisco
Chronicle during 1912. The articles
have been reprinted in pamphIeL
form, under the title of a Report Of
An investigations Of Municipal Own
orship in California by Charles REM
ington.
"'Although not written with the in
tentlOn OF advocating state regulation
of northumberland utilities by a
state public service commission, these
articles form n of the best argu-
mentS, that w nave yet seen in fav-
or of such regulation. Mr.. Remington
discovered the laXeSt sort of account
ing in most of the citieS-often no
real accounting at all. Frequently a
city that had been widely acclaimed
as having operated d waterworks at
a profit was found actually to have
suffered y heavy deficit. Absence Of
depreciation annuitieS, and failure to
calculate interest on the investment
were almost universal errors. Oper-
ating expenses We're frequently cover
ed up in various ways. In addition,
taxes were never charged, and rentals
seldom appeared as an expense.
