WHY BASEBALL IS COSTLY.

iowa City Republican,
Baseball is no bonanza This year,
at least not in a lot Of the teams OF
the minor leagues There is much
talk about transferring franchises,
and doubts about ability OF certain
leagues to complete their schedules.
The fans" get their ideas up too
high. One single error, and the
bleachers begin to crab" Another
one, and the seats resound with Take
him out" Which doesn't help ner-
vous player to do his part any better.
1t doesn't cost much to sit on base
ball bleachers and yell at players who
make occasional errors. But II the
people who do most OF the knocking
are solicited to subscribe dollar to
help make up the deficit In the ball
team. they are not there.
Baseball has become a costly and
difficult sport in many cities. for the
reason that the public will not be sat
isfied unless it has a winning team.
It is not so much exhibitions of good
baseball that it wants. 1t demands
the chance to see hated rivals bite the
dust of defeat. If a team has losing
streak, its attendance is apt to drop
one-half.
has led to the absurdly high salaries
earned by ball players. It is an illog1-
cal disproportion, when a young man
Just out of his teens can earn $50 and
800 and more per week, while others
with equal or better brains are TAX
ing business jobs at $500 day.
The baseball pace has been fever
ish The players have sensed their
advantage. Once they acquired some
reputation for speed, they were beset
by managers, and were able to name
their own figure. But conditions like
these are not apt to be permanent.
Wealthy men who have financed many
of the minor league teams have be-
come tired Of the costliness of their
fad. The public is economizing thru
these war times, and players salaries
are closer to a normal basis.
JUDGE STEVENS ON ROAD BONDS.
Boone News Republican,
At the Lincoln Highway meeting
Thursday afternoon in this city. Judge
J. l.. Stevens, Boone county consul,
was asked to talk TO the gathering on
| bonds for hard surfacing Of the roads
and a synopsis Of his remarks fol-
| lows:
I favor the nfty-year bond, the
amortizing or sinking fund plan, the is-
suance of bonds by the state ut as low
rate as possible.
| This plan does no injustice to fu-
| ture generations because: The present
generation has paid for the drainage
Of the adjoining lands and the high
ways without which 1t would be Inn
possible to build permanent road. We
have also brought the highways to
grade and paid for that and in many
cases made permanent bridges and cul-
verts This generation is therefore e..
Titled to credit on the total value OF
the improvement when completed; be-
sides this the present generation will

on the part of the police. it would
nave been easy to catch the thief OF
thieves. according to employees of the
store. A coincidence of the burglary
is the fact that a door display case,
which usually shuts off the exterior
of the store, was not used and the
store could be seen from front to
back.
The work was evidently that of pro-
fessionals. An iron door in the alley
was lifted and the thieves went to the
cellar. Search lights evidently were
used as many shoe boxes were opened
and emptied.
Door Found Open.
The door at the head of the cellar
stairs was locked and the key left in
the lock last night. This morning the
door was found open and the key was
on the floor
another curious fact regarding the
robbery was the method used in get
ting into the cash register. This is an
eight-door register with sign above
which lights whenever a key is punch
ed to open the drawer. The thieves
used bunch of keys they found and
opened the register from the rear.
They then operated small levers and
pushed the drawers open without
lighting the sign above.
The money was in bills except about
SO worth of change. The banks were
closed last night when the store was
shut up and no opportunity was had
to put the money in a safer place.
Recently the Ross drug store was
entered and robbed Of about &c. An
attempt was made to keep the robbery
a secret because of the fact that two
other robberies occurred on the same
night in districts supposed to be we'll
policed. AS result of several robber-
les in the north end business section
at that time, the Eighth street, Fort
Wayne avenue and E street merchants
have secured a special police.
Not long before the Ross drug store
robbery, the Conkey drug store. on Il
conspicuous corner, was entered.

Reports from all departments of the

INDIANAPOLIS INTERESTED.

INDIANAPOLIS. Ind, March "a
Much interest is being taken in the
Richmond electric rate establishment
case now pending before the Indiana
Public Utilities Commission. The anti
cipated demand by the city of Rich
mond for lower valuation of its mu-
nicipal plant will be the first time
since the commission was organized
that such demand has been filed.
The general fight is always for in.
creasing the valuation. With the ad.
dition of an allowance for going val
ue. and in the opinion of engineers
there is. no doubt the municipal plant
has going value, the valuation will
be increased considerably. 1t is now
believed the question of hearing ex-
ceptions to this valuation and fixing
the schedule Of rates from the figures
obtained will not be completed before
the middle of the summer, in June or
July at the earliest.
The auditors will complete the au-
dit of the city plants affairs the mid
die of next week. Some interesting
revelations are expected when these
are made public.
