greatly eXaggeratel in the representa-
tons made to sell this stock, the official
inquiry revealed, but evidence also SHOW
ed that the tire company had never built,
nor operated factory. nor done business
of any kind since its organization IN the
State of California, in 1912 The inquiry
revealed what the official fraud order
characterizes as illegal and unconsclon-
able' expense charges of more than
quarter million dollars placed against the
tire company by its president, Bidwell.
1t also shows that money was obtained
from jobbers through contract sold to
them which purported to enable them to
obtain from Bidwell standard tires at
manufacturers prices, but which actual
ly bound Bidwell to furnish such tires
only when obtainable. These contracts,
it is shown, were sold to jobbers for
prices varying from 500 to $1,000.
In addition to the action against him
taken by the Postal authorities, Bidwell
has been indicted by the Federal Grand
Jury, at Rochester, N. Y, charged with
using the mails to further a scheme to
defraud and by the Grand Jury of Fay
cite County, Pennsylvania, with two of
his agents, on charge of conspiracy to
defraud.

your Senator or Congressman wants you
to believe that the Democratic party is
entitled to credit for whatever prosperity
you are enjoying, let him produce the
evidence that such prosperity existed be-
fore the war. If he can't do that, be
must admit that revival of business was
due to the war, and that the party is not
entitled to any credit whatever.
A Washington correspondent discuss
ing the Presidents chances in the cleo
ton thinks it is "almost certain that he
will poll not only a larger vote than he
did in 1912, but a larger vote than has
any of the Democratic candidates before
him. He will have to, let US add, if ne
is to be elected. In 1912 Wilson received
6,293, 019 votes, the combined vote
against him was s, 743, 523, of which the
combined Taft and Roosevelt vote was
1904, 463. Wilson received fewer votes
In 1912 than any Democratic candidate
for the Presidency iE twenty years
save only Alton B. Parker, who enjoyed
in 1904 the support of Mr.. Bryan-which
Wilson is to have this year and which
succeeded in netting to Parker only s.
077,911 votes. Bryan three times got
more votes than Wilson did, while IN
tied Republicanism three times showed
Mr.. Bryan under. United Republican,
ism will do the same for Mr.. Wilson.
The recent bot wave seriously affected
the normal operations of Chairman
! Vance McCormick's mind. In the midst
of unequalled meteorological torridity he
arose to exclaim that anyone who sought
to find political motive in the Presi-
dents plan to hold the Guardsmen on
, the border is ''traitorous. Why so hot,
little man? Everyone knows that the
President has done nothing for months
and that he will do nothing for months
to come except as he has weighed all the
elements Of political probability and de-
termined a course calculated to end in
his political advantage, The President,
himself, if he were to make use of that
analytical power which he has 80 freely
applied in his study of the various ban
dts in Mexico, who have from time to
time received his favor, would doubtless
be among the first to admit this Mr..
Wilson is out to get reelected if posi-
ble-and to this end he will omit no
word or act"

NO WATER
COMMISSION
Ordinance Requires Officials Should
Have Been Named Months Ago.

Maryville has $4,000 water
plant nearly completed and soon to
be. turned over to the city. And as
yet, Maryville has not named any
one to manage the plant. By
city ordinance passed in February
of last year, it was the duty of the
city council to elect a board of water
works commissioners within four
months after contract for the build
ing of the plant was awarded. Now,
August, 1916, nearly a year after
the contract was awarded, finds that
the council has failed to abide by
this ordinance, and instead of hav-
ing the commission named, the coun-
ell is amending the ordinance by
reducing the number from five to
three. is 1T NOT POOR BUSI-
NESS TO HAVE A PLANT THE
SIZE OF THIS READY FOR DE-
LIVERY TO THE CITY, AND NO
BODY TO MANAGE 1T? This de
lay on the part of the officials means
a delay in the supplying of water to
those who want it. And no man in
Maryville knows who will want
water service. If the commission
had been named several months ago,
it could have had the names Of those
wanting water service, much of the
plumbing in homes and pipe laying
in yards and under walks, could
have been done, and when the plant
is turned over to the town, all that
would have been left to do, would
be to tap the main and make con-
nections With meters.
A councilman said last week that
he did not know there was any such
ordinance on the books, as that re-
quiring that the commission should
be named four months after the con-
tract was awarded or four months
after the toy undertook to con
ance was S5iss

Will City Pay For Water Main In
the Country, Tfeld and Woodland?

viii the citizens of Maryville pay
for several hundred feet of water
main laid outside the corporate lin
it's of the city?
A leading attorney of the town
and county said Wednesday that the
town of Maryville is not re-
sponsible for the payment of this bill
and that the parties who had it laid
are personally liable for the payment
of it.
On the Knoxville pike, and ex-
tending about 200 feet beyond the
corporate limits of the town, a water
main has been laid. 1t turns from the
pike, runs several hundred feet down
the hill a long block, goes onto a
thickly forested hill, runs through
this a long distance, enters a vacant
field, makes a sharp turn and comes
back towards town.
Mayor Everett, in explaining why
the line was laid outside the city
limits, said that rights of ways could
not be secured inside the city, as
there was no street However, he
said further that the line runs thru
about 100 feet of the woodland,
which is his property, and in which
there are no streets or avenues, be-

line, as having been slashed. That
was an error, and the name should
have been Tom Gamble, as it appear
ed further in the story. The mistake
was made inadvertently, and was not
observed until the paper was off.
Sam Gamble has not been in trouble

an example others would do we'll to

fore it reaches the city limit. 1t then
makes wide circuit on through the
woods and field, property of the
lnayor before it g?.s within stone
throw of the house.
Property owners living along the
route taken by the line before it
reaches the private property of the
maycT said Tuesday that they had
&X been petitioned to take city
water. This is a long stretch of pip
ing to be buried out in the woods
and vacant field, and from which the
city derives no benefit. The mayor
said this circuitous route was also
made so that there would be no dead
end to the line. That stretch of pipe
cost a lot of money and if the tax
payers of Maryville pay for burying
water lines out in the woods, beyond
the corporate limits of the city, it
will be long, long time, till this
town gets the improvements it must
have, and which it is deserving of if
the towns finances were properly
expended.
WILL THE TAXPAYERS NOT
PROTEST OVER THIS EXPENDI-
TURE OF THE TOWNS MONEY?

days ago was shocked when he
learned that this town has no of
ficers, on full time and duty. When
advised that the town was using its
money to improve it's streets, he
looked at some of the streets, and
said it must cost a deuce of lot to
get nothing done here.
We believe in Maryville and want
to see Maryville built up. That's
why we are calling the attention of
the public to these things. And
when a town official says that the
thing is is getting so big 1--WE can't
handle it," surely its time for the
pubHc's attention to be called. If
Maryville hasn't the money to en-
ploy police officers, and if it takes
all of the several thousand dollars
in taxes paid into the town to haul
red clay around and fill up holes,
the citizens ought to investigate the
financial condition of the town and
see what's wrong. The Council was
requested, some time ago, to furnish
citizens with a financial statement,
but as yet nothing has been done
towards furnishing it. The towns
business is not private business for
the information of the Mayor and
Councilmen only; its just as much
the business of every tax payer to
know the financial conditions Of the
town as it is the business of the
treasurer of the town, or any other
official, and certainly a town ought
to make public at least once every
months a statement of its
finances. The citizens ought to
demand that this be done.
Then, when the books are audited,
and the conditions, as they really
are, are learned, if it is seen that the
towns income is only sufficient to
pay meager sum to the schools
and to employ a street force, the
town ought to make provision for
policemen. AS a matter
of fact, if the town had policeman
as it should have, offenders against
city laws could do all of the street
work the force now does and it
would cost the town a great, deal
less,
