the Republicans.
Rep. Pike of Eastporr introduced
two orders. one calling from the Gov
ernor an ItemlZed account of the ex-
penses SO far entailed on the Blaine
mansion and the other for a similar
account OF expenditures from the
contingent fund. He spoke at some
length on these orders. criticizing
the changes and repairs made on the
Blaine house, instead Of preserving II

Highway Bond Issue
The other bill was IAN act 70 pro-
vide for the issue of State highway
and bridge bonds"
Senator Peacock of Wasning-o ION
county explained the measure, say
ing il proposed an Issue Of &. .000. 900
for highways and S1,D06,000 for State,
intrastate and International bridges.
The bonds would be serial, issued for
not over a years. and the Governor
ana Council, with the advice Of the
State treasurer, can issue at any time
and IN any denomination. The bonds
when due must be taken I'D and paid
by the State and cannot be re-issued,
Senator Deering asked how much
! in the Judgment Of Sen Peacock. the
I Highway Commission can ecnnomi-
cally spend between now and the
meeting Of the LegiAlarure Sen.
Peacock said he understood that the
chairman Of the commission had been
asked that question and had said
that II would depend on the question
Of labor. but that the commission
was planning on spending about So.

the chairman had stated
Deering-With this s.. 000. 600 bond

PeacnCk-Not TO spend. TO CONTRACT
for. The contracts are made and
THAT entities the State to aid from the
: federal government, as though the
work was completed.
Deering-But we are authorizing
the commission to spend that
amount?
Peacock-Yes.
Chief Engineer Paul .. Sargent of
the Highway Commission was asked
the same question by Sen. DeerinG
and replied thnt it would depend On
the commissions success IN SECURING
contracts for the work and labor.
The commission is making prepara-
rions in the way Of surveys. which
are now before the federal govern
ment for approval. AS soon as ap-
proved. contracts will be advertised
and then other SURVEYS will be made
and the work thus continued.
In reply tn a question by Chairman
Davies. Engineer Sargent said there
would be no necessity for issuing any
bonds until the funds were needed.
No opposition appeared ID either
measure and the report Of the com
mittee will be favorable.

PUBLIC UTILITY C0M'RS
ON FIXED SERVICE RATES
The Public Wants to Be Fair but Not
to Be imposed Upon.

Columbus, Dec. 14.-Mr. Charles c.
Marshall, speaking for the commis-
sion, of which he is chairman, says:
The public utility companies
are facing difficult proposition In
many cases their rates for service
are fixed for a period of years, and
based upon prices of labor and ma
terials before the war Labor has
gone up, and materials advanced, In
some cases more than a hundred per
cent. The utility can not pass the
increased cost on to the customer
rs can the merchant or the manufac.
turer, and many of them are operat-
ing at loss or reducing the eff
cheney of their service.
1T is not to the best interest Of
either the public or the utility that
rates be fixed which will bankrupt
the company or compel it to furnish
a poor service.
I'VE are doing the best we can to
deal with this difficult question In
these troublesome times, and we be.
lieye that If the public knew all the
facts, there would be less criticism.
take it the public wants to be fair;
but do not want to be imposed upon

trict" he continued, knows hundreds

are ply jloally unable to continue their
studies.
OF his visit to one school, he said:
''In cne room there were % chill
dren. A ragman would not have paid
five cent3 for all the clothing they
wore. Many had no undergarments,
and those who did could hardly call
them by that name. Many were with

soleless ones.
1--WE learned most of them came
there without any breakfast. Some
kind people were giving the teacher
a little money every week, and with
that she purchased some milk and
cereals, preparing cruel over a small
stove in the room. She said with the
high cost of milk now she was not
able to buy much and that several of
the children had tainted right there in
the class room. Others were too weak
to leave home and died there. NAL

More Machinists
Laid Off Bearing Out The
Workers In Their Demand
For A Shorter Work Day.

More apparent does it become each
day that the machinists in their con-
tention for a fat and not a basic eight
hour day are right. They contend
that as soon as war contracts are
cancelled that many machinists will be
thrown ont of employment. And they
seem to re right in their contention.
So far about 400 machinists have been
laid off right here in Hamilton The
business agent of the local machinists
union has received a communication
from the grand lodge informing him
that machinists are being laid off
every where throughout the country.
Last week twenty-one machinists
were laid eff at the plant of the Ham
ilton Machine Tool Co. The reason
given for laying these men off is that
work is slack Yet one manufactures
upon whom demand was made for
establishing an eight-hour gave as
his reasons for not granting such re-
quest is that he can't get enough
machinists for running three shifts
and that it was necessary that his
plant run "a hours day in order to
fill his contracts.
The laying off of so many men, who
are now walking the streets of Hanil-
ton, does rot bear out the statement
of this manufacturer and meets only
with the contention of the machinists
that the reason for the refusal to
grant the eight-hour day is to keep up
the long hour day thereby causing
surplus of labor which would afford
the opportunity for hammering down
wages. And this seems to be the
main reason.

"A HOUR WEEK
Demanded BY Workers
Throughout England.

London.-Labor unions throughout
the United Kingdom are agitating for
a 44-hour week This would mean
eight hours day on five days of the
week and four hours on Saturday.
The National Transport Workers
federation has presented to all the mu-
nicipal ard privately y-owned tramways
a demand for working week of "A
hours at the present weekly wages.
Representatives of the federation of
engineering and shipbuilding trades
and representatives of the employers
recently held meeting at which it
was decided that 44-hour week with
out any reduction in existing wages
constituted reasonable attempt to
readjust working conditions. An agree
ment was entered into between the
employers and the men providing that
the unions should make all effort to
insure that in the unsettled state
through which the country has to pass,
the greatest possible output should be
maintained.
The compromise of a 44-hour week
has been + Iassed upon by the engineer
ing and shipbuilding union and count
of the ballot shows it was accepted
by 286,545 to 146,526.

iiy tooay uses eighteen rlmes more
light than it used century ago. Up
TO 1856 the average home burned
sperm oil and candles, using rs candle
hours night, or 5000 a year, at q
cost of $22.
Then petroleum came and we had
our kerosene oil lamps. This gave us
90 per cent more light at the same
cost. Then between '65 and rs kero-
sene and gas held sway as the illumi-
nants. From 10000 to $4,000 candle
hours were consumed yearly in the av-
erage home of one or the other at a
cost of from $23 to S34 a year per
family.
Then we come on down till we reach
the period from 1885 to 1905, with
electricity for lighting pushing ahead
and the advent of the Welsbach gas
mantle, one of the great inventions OF
the age, sent the consumption up to
100000 candle power hours of light a
year in the average household, but
with the rise in consumption the cost
fell to about $40 year. From that
period to 1915 the consumption fell
to about 125,000 candle power hours
to home, as the result of the saving
through high efficiency lamps the cost
fell with It to $15.

VIII Fifth Loan Be
Easier To Put OUer

Win the Fifth Liberty Loan,
which is to be f1oated in April, be
harder to raise than its predeces-
sors?
Students of finance hold varying
views on this question, but the op-
timists cite the rather convincing
argument that France made her
greatest record at bond buying in
after-the-war financing. Germany
at the end of the Franco Prussian
war levied an indemnity of $1,000
100000 on France May 10, 1871.
The French people were allowed
until March 2, 1874, to pay it. But
by the summer of 1873 the last cent
had been paid Germany, the billion
and interest having been raised by
the French in two smashing bond
selling drives.
And France was a vanquished
nation then.
The United States, having had
only year of war and none of that
on its own soil, emerges victor
from this war with Germany, cite
those who believe the Fifth Loan
should be easily subscribed, and
certainly cannot do less than
France.

ALLIES ARE FED
BY SELF DENIAL
Generous Doing Without in
America Supplied Food
to Europe.

Exports from this country since 1T
entered the war have kept starvation
from Allied Europe and have main
tanned the health and strength of those
who have been bearing the brunt of
our battles, SO that they could hold
out to victory Now that hostilittes
ed burden of keeping starvation from
increasing its toll upon the millions
who have been liberated from the
Prussian yoke Famine would undo
the work which has been accomplished
ia freeing the world for democracy. No
stable government can be established
and maintained by a nation harassed
by hunger. A starving people turns
to rioting and anarchy. Food has
given strength and courage to the ma
tions fighting for democracy; 1t must
now give the nations strength and
tranquility TO re-establish themselves
In freedom and democracy.
Without our help Ii would have been
absolutely impossible for the Allies to
maintain living ration. Since our
entry into the war we have been con-
tributing largely to the support of one
hundred and twenty million people
whose normal food supplies have been
cut Off, whose production has fallen
almost to the vanishing point, whose
fields have been devastated by Ger
many. The food exported from the
United States in the past year has
been sufficient to supply the cemplete
ration Of twenty-five million people.
1t is hard to grasp the magnitude
and significance OF the assistance
which has been lent the Allies BY the
patriotic, voluntary service Of the
American people. The food we sent
abroad last year would have been suf-
