HIGHWAY CASE
UP WEDNESDAY
Considerable Opposition to De-
Election of Route Through
EIkhart DeveIops-COmmiS-
SiOnerS Continue Hearing.

The appointment Of viewers for the
Improvement of the Lincoln High
way East" which will involve the
question ofsthe proposed change in
route of the highway which was to
have been made by the county COM
missioners Monday, was continued un-
til Wednesday. At this time advo-
Gates of both routes proposed will ap-
pear before the board,
A remOnstrance was filed against
the proposed change with the county
commissioners Monday. 1t bears about
100 signatures and sets for these four
grounds on which the change is Op-
posed:
The original route passes through
more densely populated district.
It's tributary roads accommodate
more people.
Travel is heavy and will necessitate
some permanent Improvement of the
road
Its improvement VIII cost less than
the river road.
The opponents Of the petition
which was filed last Monday and
which proposes a change in the route
east of Mishawaka to the "river road, -
contended before the commissioners
Monday that Elkhart is not on the
highway as originally mapped out by
the national ASSOCIATION.
The petition asking the change sets
forth that Elkhart county has already
taken steps towards improving the
road in ElIhart county and unless the
river road is improved in St. Joseph
county they will not join.
Those who are favoring the orig
nal route declare that the river road
is a "byway'' serving a very few peo-
pie and maintain that the proposed
change is being sought tc boost realty
values along the road.
"Elkhart is not on the original
route as mapped out by the authors
Of the Lincoln Highway" said one of
these, and the petition is just an at
tempt to divert the route TO that city"
Carl G. Fisher of indianapolis
vice president of the national assOcia-
ton, was quoted as being against the
proposed change TO the Elkhart
route. indianapolis and Akron, both
of which cities made large contribu-
tiOns to the highway fund, would like
10 have the road touch them. he
pointed out, but yields to the plans Of
the highway engineers which left
them out
The question Of the proposed
change has been taken up with De-
troit officials, as the routing Of the
highway is not a matter for decision
BY local authorities OF the association.
\ committee which investigated the
proposed change in route estimate the
cosC OF opening the river road. includ-
ing the building of a bridge. which
would be necessary, to $3.50, 900. This
committee was composed Of F. G..
F,berhart and NJ w. Mix Of Misha-
waka. VI. L. Williams. +. a. Bryan,
A. j. Hammond, William S. Moore
and Henderson Mcclellan. OsceoIa
residents are opposed TO the change
which would defect the route from
their town.

SOUTH TODAY IS
RULING CONGRESS
President, Half the Cabinet,
Speaker and Chief Justice
Are Also From South of Ma
son and Dixie Line.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 19.-The gov
ernment of the L. s. is dominated by
the south today as firmly as it was
before the Civil war.
The president is a southerner by
birth, largely by education. by mar
riage and by the environments of his
early manhood.
Five of the ten members of his
cabinet are southerners by birth or by
birth and residence. The chief JUS
tice of the L. S. supreme court is a
southerner.
The speaker of the house of rep
resentativeS and the leader of that
body, Oscar w. Underwood, hail from
the same section, and a majority of
the democrats of the house are from
the south and from states of southern
inclination.
The president pro-tempore Of the
senate is a sOutherner. The majority
sent states below the Mason and Dixon
line. Practically all the important
committees of both houses have south
erners as their chairmen.
Such situation has not been known
in Washington has not been known
since the civil war. 1t mas become
worthy OF note by virtue of the way in
which the south is writing its views
on the statute books and in corpor-
ating them into the internatal and
foreign policies of the nations
The control of the present congress
by the south is shown in the statistics
OF that body aRd by the organization
which resulted there from. There
are fifty democrats in the senate and
291 democrats in the house. What
may be described as the southern fig
urees in the makeup of the two houses
is as follows:

A reduction in IN discount given
subscribers which amounts practically
to an increase in the rates has been
announced by the Bell Telephone Co.
in South Bend to become effective
Feb. 1.
The discounts which are allowed
when the bill is paid before the 18th
of the month in which il is due viii
be reduced as follows:
On business phones from 33 1-3
per cent to 20 per cent.
ON residence phones from 90 per
cent to % per cent.
on rural phones from so per cent
TO 25 per cent.
The reduction IL discounts comes in
accordance with clause in the con-
tract under which the Bell company
has installed phones in this city
which provided that the rates of dis
count would continue only until
5000 phones were put in service
here.
This mark was expected TO De Sc
cured by April, 1911, but owing to in
creased facilities which were neces-
sary in the plant the number was not
reached as soon as expected, accord
ing to local authorities. 1t has now
been passed, resulting in the change
of rates
The public utilities law of Indiana
requires that permission of the util-
tiles commission be obtained before
rates may be raised by a public serv-
ice corporation. The telephone COM
pany officials maintain that the action
is not a raise in the rate, coming as
it does through reduction in the dis
count. Its effect, however, is the
same.
Declares 1t Not Raise.
The circumstances surrounding the
increase are explained in the follow
ing statement by f. T. Bonds, South
Bend manager of the Bell company:
We are not raising our rates. We
passed the 5000 telephone mark in
November. 1913. and l looked for the
company to make the change in dis
count any moment since.
