Innumerablc catarrh sufferers have

WHY Subsidize Purtelle

To avoid any possible chance of having mis-
construed its personal attitude toward the pro-
posed traction line connecting Richmond and
Hamilton, O., for which the promoter, Eugene
Purtelle, is asking Wayne township for 100000
subsidy and Boston township for $4,000 sub
sidy, The Palladium takes this opportunity to
again declare it's opposition to this project
In it's opposition to this project The Palladium
is not reactionary. It thoroughly appreciates
the fact that much benefits would be derived by
the people of Wayne and Boston townships if
this city and Hamilton were linked together with
an interurban line, but it cannot sanction such
an undertaking by any interests with which
Eugene Purtelle is so prominently identified.
Without entering into discussion as to the
ACCESSIBILITY of using public funds for subsidies
under any conditions, there is no getting around
the fact that the subsidzing of the Purtelle COM
pany would be an act of extreme folly, because
public funds should now, under existing indus
trial conditions, be conserved rather than used
for speculation. The using of the public funds
for substituting this proposed traction line would
be an act Of speculation, basing opinion the
checkered career of Mr.. Purtelle as promoter
Attention is called to the project promoted
by Mr. Purtelle for the construction of traction
line between Upton, Ind, and Frankfort, Ind
Stock was sold to interested farmers and citizens
but so far the road has not been constructed.
Attention is also called to the fact that there
would be two and one-half miles of the Rich
mond & Hamilton line in Wayne township if it
were constructed under the plans prepared by
Mr.. Purtelle, and that conservative estimate
for building this line fully equipped, is not
$4,000 mile Therefore to construct that part
of the line in Wayne township it would not cost
more than $4,000, but Mr.. Purtelle is asking the
taxpayers of this township to give him $4,000
more than this amount. 49,
Why?

Our Charity Plan.

At last Richmond has secured a charity Or
ganization based upon business principles. Here
tofore charity in Richmond has been taken care
of in more or less of haphazard way, owing to
the fact that there were number of organiza-
other. While all of these organizations were do
ing their work honestly and conscientiously, yet
the best results could not be obtained because
there was no cooperation
In an organization of any kind, there must
always be head; man who understands his
work and is thoroughly competent to administer
it,
Taking care of the destitute is scientific
problem and requires scientific treatment
A local committee, which organized the new
Federated Charities, made a thorough investi-
cation of men who might be secured to supervise
the charity work in Richmond and finally decid-
ed upon Mr.. Melpolder as man competent to
handle this important department. Charity does
not consist merely of giving. There are many
duties which will be part of the work of the
new secretary, and the working out of scien-
tfic plan for the handling of all charitable cases
In Richmond will undoubtedly save many times
the salary to be paid the secretary which is mod
est for the work involved.
Some people in Richmond have been pauper-
lied by the haphazard way of handling charity
in the last few years. and this is of the things
which the new charity board hopes to overcome.
Instead of pauperizing a family, it is planned to
have each individual case studied and where pos
sible, the causes of poverty will be eradicated
and the family established on firm, self-support-
