INDUSTRIES
KICK AGAINST
TWO RATES

Representatives of the various in
dustries Of East Chicago. Who have been
IN Chicago during the past three days
with representatives OF the East Chi
caEo Chamber Of Commerce protest
ing against the existence of two freight
rates within the Chicago switching dis
trict returned last night we'll satisfied
that the interstate commerce commits
sion will grant their request for q single
rate.
The industries Of the region became
alarmed when after a 40 per cent in
crease had been granted 10 the rsil-
roads by the interstate commerce com
mission the illinois state utilities com
mission authorized q rate increase Of
only 81 Ia per cent for intrastate
business in Illinois This caused the
industries Of the Calumet region al
though in the same switching district
to pay a higher freight rate than the
Chicago competitors Even Of Erever
consequence was the possibility Of the
Calumet region Of Indiana being ex-
cluded from the Chicag go switching dis
trict
After a three days hearing the rail
road representatives conceded the point
before the interstate commerce commits
sion and admitted that all rates in tho
Chicago switching district should be
uniform. The commission took no ac-
tion. but since the railroads agreed not
to contest the request Of the Calumet
region industries for lower rates the
representatives are certain that the rul-
ing will be favorable 70 the Indiana in
dustries.
In order TO adequately protect the in
terests of the local industries as far
as freight rates and traffic rules are
concerned plans are now being discussed
for the formation of Calumet Indus
trial Traffic league similar to the traffic
league in Chicago.

HARDING TALKS
To INDIANA
REPUBLICANS
By GEORGE X. HOLMES

MARION. o. Sept. 11-Senator War
rem G. Harding launched attacks up
on the Wilson administration along
two fronts today.
Addressing a delegation OF nearly
500 Chicago and Indianapolis business
men from his front porch this morn
ing, he charged that a "bungling ad-
ministration which could not even
run its own business, has put its hands
on the throat OF American business
and all but strangled il with weird
economic theories and Sociaiistic ten
denotes" He pledged himself If cleo
ted. 10 let legitimate business alone
and run the government on a bust
ness-like basis.
In a later speech to a delegation OF
Northern Indiana and Michigan re-
publicans, Senator Harding asserted
that America has narrowly escaped los
ing her Monroe doctrine or going TO
war to preserve 1t.
He said that America was being de-
ceived about the Monroe doctrine ar
ticle Of the league Of nations COW
enant. The covenant. he explained.
is written in both English and French.
in parallel columns. In Article XNIV
dealing with the doctrine Senator Hard
said one thing and the French another.
The French version. ne asserted. does
not guarantee the integrity OF the
Monroe doctrine and in case of contro-
versy would subordinate it almost 70
the point OF complete abandonment. +"
Senator Harding combined the two
addresses into "a message TO the busi-
ness men of America" and compared
the entrance into the league of nations
with the signing Of business con-
tract.
sixty per cent or our manufactur-
ers are little plants. Only 25 per cent
of them do business as corporations.
When we come to snalyze what we
mean by American business we fnd
that we mean the daily work OF the
nation.
I'VE must summon the best abilit-
les OF America TO put America back
on the main road and remove the de-
bris OF the last eight years. The day
of the one man war power form OF
government must yield TO the sound
practice of the republic.
American business has suffered sta z
Eering blows because Of too much med
ling by government and it is equally
true that good government has al
most died on our hands because it has
not utilized the first sound principles
OF American business.
The government has engaged In
prodigal waste. II has engaged in
all kinds OF costly bungling expert
ments Of government management and
ownership of enterprises. The Amert-
can people ray.
Democracy has done nothing in 5
years TO cure waste and ineniciency;
1t has rather added TO them. We are
the ineffective prodigsls OF the world =
Turning TO the Monroe doctrine and
the league Of nations. Senator Hard
ing said that when the original draft
of the covenant was made no mention
OF the doctrine was found therein.
When President Wilson returned from
Paris on mis- Arst trip, Senator Hard
ing declared, he found America very
strongly reversed the doctrine.
so when the president returned 70
Paris" said Senator Harding, he made
or pretended to make a concession TO
the reverence Of the American people
in connection with the Article XXI.

21-PLUS IDEA
II You Didn't Give Specific
Age You Must Correct
1t Or Not Vote

INDIANAPOLIS, IND, Sept. IL
Women and men who registered last
Saturday as being 81 years old. plus
instead Of giving their SPECIFIC ages
will be ineligible 70 vote in November
unless they correct their statement or
the next registration day, Oct 8.
This was the decision OF the state
election commissioners, one a republi-
can and one a democrat, who met yes
terday and prepared an Interpretation
OF the age feature of the registration
law on request from several counties
where many women and some men
ticklish about their age. went on rec
ord as being "21 plus" The opinion
is given by W. W. Spencer. democrat
and William H. Thompson. republican
who. with the governor as the ex-o9-
hco member, comprise the state board
Of election commissioners. Maurice Z.
Tenant, as a member of the stats
boards legal committee also concurs
in the opinion.
IDENTIFICATION Considered
II is the holding of the commission
ers that the law requires each voter
to give his or her exact age. They
contend that the purpose OF the re-
quirement is to establish identification
of the voter we'll as to ascertain
that the voter is of legal age. They
assert that the giving of the wrong
age might permit fraudulent voting.
Should a man or woman of SO yeays
for example. reRiser as "2I. pius" 1t
might be possible. suggests the cou-
missioners. for some young voter to
go to the polls and vote in the name Of
an older person who had given his
or her name incorrectly
We beg to state that it is our opir-
ion that proper compliance with the
registration law of Indiana" reads the
opinion of tae commissioners, requires
that an applicant for registration sha..
state in writing mis- or her age on the
last preceding anniversary Of his or
her birthday, It is not considered as
sufficient to state that the applicant
was 81 years or over on a certain date
prior TO the date of registration See
Sec. of the registration law OF Ind
lana"
PASSED IN JOHNSON
1t is reported that in Johnson county
the republican and democratic county
chairmen agreed not TO raise the age
question. and to permit women. if they
choose. to conceal their true age.
The question arises as 70 whether
the reg istration was improper in t-e
precincts " mere the registration boards
accepted the registration of persons
| who we're known 70 be giving an IL
| correct age The state election cog
r-issioners answer this by sayinL mar
such registration probably nd
stand. unless on election day some eas
should challenge the right to vaiv 5,
g man or woman who had not complied
strictly with the age requirement ann
thus r. gistered Improperly.
1t is risky for those who did not
give their correct age 10 let their rec
ord stand. because their right 10 vote
might be challenged election day.
Ny advice is for those who gave the
wrong age to avail themselves OF the
oportunity on Oct. to correct their
statement and thus avoid a chance or
being challenged" said Mr. Spencer,
one of he commissioners, last evening.
