German cruiser Emden which sank twenty
three British merchantmen before it was

That Memorial "Crab"

County Clerk George Matthews has called at
tention to question to be voted upon by the peo-
pie of Indiana this year and which if passed will
permit the opening of the largest political pork
barrel" in the history of the state.
This question which has been put up to the
voters is whether 100000 shall be appropriate
ed out of the general fund of the state 'for a
centennial memorial" The "memoriaP' contem-
plated is new state house. In speech made in
Richmond the other night, Earl Crawford, a
former member of the legislature, wittily re-
marked that he did not know why there should
be state house for the present is only
used for signing few measures, all the laws
being made at the Dennison hotel Indianapolis.
Selfish Indianapolis interests and the Tag
CART machine actively working for the popu-
lar Endorsement of this two million dollar grab,
for it will be rich picking for them, but the
Indiana taxpayers, with an anxious eye on the
steadily increasing tax rate can see no reason
why they should give their approval to such an
extravagant and unnecessary expenditure at this
time. They are all in favor of modest and
appropriate observance of the Hoosier states
one hundredth birthday, but two million dollars
is greatly in excess of the popular idea of an
appropriate observance"
That the Democratic legislature of 1918
which is responsible for this proposal realized
such an expenditure would be drain on the re-

sources OF the state is set forth In the wording
of the act. It provides that if the voters author
lie such an appropriation the governor, auditor
and treasurer shall have the authority to issue
and sell non-taxabe bonds Of the state, not to ex
coed two million dollars, bearing interest at the
rate of three and half per cent, "any year dur
ing the progress of said work if there should be
deficit in the finances of the state"
And the voters may rest assured that such
deficits will occur in the event the Democratic
machine continues in power, for under the Raj
ston administration without any such extraordi-
nary expenses, deficits have been one of it's spe-
cialties, to meet which the taxpayers are permit
ted to dig little deeper in their jeans.
That the effort of this gang to have the
"memorial' appropriation authorized has been
prompted solely by an Unsuitable appetite for
pork" for the faithful" is fair construction
to place on their enthusiastic advocacy of the
project. Did not Governor Ralston give the pro-
posed constitutional convention plan, also to be
voted on at this coming election, a back-handed
slap recently when he gravely questioned the adj
visibility of such action because of the Expense
involved?" If there is anything in the world
Indiana stands in need of it is new constitution
But we have the amusing spectacle Of hypocrisy
and insincerity Of our chief executive wagging
Ills Heeu LII uouoI OVoI Vic ACCESSIBILITY vi Calling
such convention, because it might cost quar-
ter of million dollars, and at the same time
maintaining eloquent and discreet silence on
the question of squandering 100000 on pub
lie building which the state stands in need OF
about as much as pig does palace.
One of the six ballots that will be presented
to each voter in this county on November will
be shaded blue and will measure four inches by
four inches. On it will be printed the words yes
and no. If you are opposed to reckless anc
unnecessary increase in the tax rate and are
against pork barrel government, vote NO. By
doing so you will place yourself on record as op
posed to any "memorial' to gang misrule anc
brazen affrontery and at the same time will be
signing "memorial' to your own good sense
and intelligent interest in the cause of honest
government.

Editor Palladium notice with
a great deal of pleasure the lively in
terest that is being displayed all over
town in regard to the location of the
south side bridge. The more interest
that Ia shown the sooner we shall have
a bridge, and no doubt no matter
where the bridge will be located it
will do unlimited good and be a 100
per cent improvement over present
conditions.
1t Is quite natural also that there
should be a division OF opinion as to
which would be the best location. Each
river has two banks, and what may be
to the interest of the residents on one
side Is not necessarily also to the in
terest of the other Furthermore, 1t
Is nothing more nor less than purely
human, that each property owner and
lover OF his home. should like to see
his own home most benefited and in
creased in value.

mond as we'll as south of Richmond,
and should. therefore. be fairly unbias-
ed in my opinion, nor do / hesitate to
say that nice, well-cOnstruCted ce-
ment bridge would enhance the natur-
al beauty of our fine Whitewater val
ley, of which many large city would
be proud of il it was properly taken
care of, no matter whether such bridge
would be built on f or l. street, or
anywhere in between.
However, the Southwest Side I'm
provement association that Is Just now
making such strong agitation for the
+ street location, and was organized
for that purpose, should remember that
all the pioneer work for this bridge
during the last nine years. the orig
mating Of the idea, the circulation Of
the original petition and the long and
tedious work incidental to having it
first favorably acted upon and then
afterward kept continually in the
minds Of the county commissioners
was done by the South Side Improve
ment association. If now, the South
west Side Improvement association
association wants to appropriate all
that preliminary work by gaining the
good will Of the county commissioners
through a monster petition, it acts
very much like the cuckoo bird that
lays it's egg in the nest Of some other
bird! 1t would not be fair play. and
we Americans like fair play better
than anything else. and commence to
feel very uncomfortable If we do not
get it! For that reason, more than
any other reason. am I strongly in
favor of location as originally pro
vided for. viz: south Of South E street.

Let us make this, however as friend
ly contest as it will be lively one!
Certainly. in an enlightened and up-to-
date community like Richmond we
ought to be able to differ in opinion on
questions of expediency, such as the
location of a bridge, the ACCESSIBILITY
of a traction line subsidy, local option.
etc, without entering into a mud
singing contest! Whether college pro-
fessor, Sunday school teacher, or just
plain ordinary man, none of us, hum
bly, believe, suffers from any excess OF
virtue And it is very likely good So
as it has been my observation, that
such excess of virtue, even if only i'm
agined, breeds intolerance.
