SWElTZER PLEDGES
BETTER TRANS.
PORTATION

Robert NJ. Sweitzer, Democratic
candidate for mayor, I'm a speech be-
fore the Chicago Lawyers associa.
tion at the Morrison hotel made the
definite and unqualified promise that
his election for mayor would mean
the improvement of the transporta.
tion service in the city within ten
days. He outlined the plans he in
tended to inaugurate on the day he
took Office to bring about this imme.
diate betterment of the service.
Mr.. Sweitzer's speech in part fol-
lows:
"You ask me why believe in the
It demonstrated. and demonstrated
within the last two years. I have
seen the city Of my birth arouse from
lethargy at the call of nation.
Who that has seen these things
can doubt that the old Chicago spirit
exists and all that It is needed to
bring It forth is incentive and leader
ship.
"All the things which have men,
toned were brought about without
the leadership to which the city was
entitled. There was no encourage.
ment to the city from its executive
in fact, there was disbursement.
There was no help offered from the
mayors Office to the citizens who were
displaying the old Chicago spirit
only criticism and interference. Chi.
cago proved her greatness in spite
Of It's city adnsaJstration. not because
Of 1t. u
what. them can we expect from
the city when there is in the mayors
chair a man WHO will encourage the
Chicago spirit instead OF discouraging
it?"
Taking up the traction question, Mr..
Sweitzer said he did not intend to
promise miracles, Then he added
81 do say that will better the
transportation service while | am
seeking my solution. Not in my
first year in office, not In my
first six months in office, not even in
my first month in office, but in my
| first ten days in office. make that
promise because | know the provi
sions now in the traction ordinances
that call for better service, because
! know that those provisions can be
enforced by mayor who has the
win to enforce them, and because
know that the provisions are not be
ing enforced and that the service can
be improved immeasurably."

MAYOR SCORES
TAX DODGERS
Thompson Claims Rivals Are
Silent on the Question of
City's Deficit.
BY MAYOR THOMPSON.

In discussing the shortage of cor.
porate funds brought about by re.
duced revenues, my three democratic
opponents remain discreetly silent on
the principal cause of the deficit in
city revenues.
The corporate revenue of Chicago
springs from two sources. one of which
is included in the city's share of the
annual tax levy on real and personal
property. Out of each dollar paid by
Chicago citizens for all taxes except
federal taxes the city of Chicago gets
only 17A cents. about one.sixth OF
the money to do approximately two.
thirds of the work.
Even this small share would be
enough to meet our requirements II
our wealthy citizens would schedule
their holdings. but the fact Is that
many millionaires, powerful corpora
tions and influential interests, shield.
ed by certain corrupt newspapers,
hypocritical leagues, sham reformers
and political henchmen, conceal hun.
dreds of millions of dollars of taxable
property, by reason whereof an un.
equal burden Of taxation has been i'm.
posed upon our citizens of moderate
means.
Through these evasions the city and
county governments, the schools, the
parks and the sanitary district are
deprived of vast incomes to which
they are lawfully entitled. the with
holding of which Is the real cause OF
the deficits now existing in these pub
lie agencies.

For three generations the fortunes

future OF the Thompson family have

 Congress is hearing lot about
 sugar these days, and MT. Lawmaker is feelin the lack of it the same as other mortals at the capital and elsewhere, when he drinks his morn | ing cup of coffee or desires a little more sweetening in his pie. It isn't often that congress is told by another branch of the government that 1t 1t
 does not do so and so it must take
 the consequences, as was done by the
 attorney general when he informed congress that his control of sugar and sugar prices ended on January
 1, when the sugar equalization board ended, except for prosecuting profit eers, but even then it is doubtful if he could accomplish much good in that direction in time to be of bene- fit to the public. What's to be done about sugar." is heard hundred times day in the cloak rooms and on floor of congress. The federal control of sugar can easily be ex- tended beyond January 1 until the present emergency is passed, other wise the price of sugar is going to climb to almost any figure that will be paid for it by consumers. There is plenty of talk about sugar, but no one at the capitol seems to be start ing anything for the benefit of the public.
 The only thing that has not in- creased in price in Washington is the cost of marriage license.
 The famous Flannery statue of Abraham Lincoln, erected in 1869 by popular subscription, and which stands in front of Washington's newly remodeled court house, is to be removed to an obscure place in the Botanical Garden grounds, near the capitol. The move was author ized by congress because the style of the statue was not in harmony with the style of architecture of the build-l ing.

CONGRESS WINDING
 THE HOME FIRES

A tension much like that which | existed during the war is in evidence throughout the government depart ments in Washington. It is indi- cated in the frequent meetings of ! the cabinet, the full attendance at committee meetings in both senate | and house, and the general activity | seen in the offices of leading off, cials of different bureaus. The reg | ular cabinet meeting day is Wednes- day, but this has been thrown to the
 winds and the cabinet gathers at the 1 White House frequently, the sessions
 lasting several hours at time. l
 President Wilson has not been in at tendance at any of them. Senators and representatives and leaders in 1 both houses are up and out earlier
 than usual, visiting the state depart ment, railroad administration, fuel headquarters and the department of 1
 labor, obtaining first-hand informa-
 tion and reports, before attending 1 the sessions of congress, which begin at noon each day. The peace treaty | is dead issue until after the first
 of the year. It is the home fires that are being minded now. When con-
 gress convened on December l it was | the plan of bothe parties to begin the
 holiday recess December 15, but it is
 likely that this will be given up alto gether, except for a few days be- tween Christmas and New Years. The coal situation presents so many angles to be worked out that even if
 an early adjustment is secured it will be some time before normal condi-
 tions return, and while the public is
 bearing its trials patiently, neverthe
 less it is constantly reminding con gress to stay on the jobato do what it can until the storm is weathered.
 Congress is given an fearful" from
 folks in every state every day. It IS also realized by congress that the Mexican situation is more than
 ''thorn in the side" of Uncle Sam,
 and one that is not being pulled out very fast; but the opinion holds at
 the capitol that stern diplomacy will yet win, while the barrier of soldiers
 on the Mexican borden, is being

 Desertions from the army are

 at loss to learn why there have ) been 5000 men to desert since last !, March, and of those missing but TOO ; have been caught. The main worry
 is the fear that those uncaught will : spread their reasons, right or wrong, : for deserting, and that the effect will
 not be to the advantage of recruiting. Several reasons are advanced for the , general exodus. It is thought that the universal unrest" has hit the army the same as in the industrial world. Most of the deserters are young men who enlisted after the armistice. They hayes uffered re- lapse of their enthusiasm. Others expected a small army which would
 bring about quick advancements, also ] higher pay. The increase in pay has not come, and no decision has been reached as to the size of the army
