CHARGE OF BRIBERY
Confined from page onel

The afidaYits. were published BY the
Nashville Tennesean and the Nash
Vile Banner and were purported to
have been made by 0. c. Wallace,
Judge of the City Court of Lewisburg,
Tenn, and Ennis E. Murray, Of Nash
Vile. general agent for the Federal
Land Bank, of louisville, KY.
They alleged they mad heard several
persons, includingsR epresentativs Joe
Hanover, of shelbyscounty,. and Major
C. L. Daughtry, Secretary t., Cover
nor Roberts, insist to Burns, that he
change his.yotei.@.
According to Muray's affidavit,
Burn was:stold that they would give
him anything in the world he wanted
and that it would make him thetasgss;
gest man in: Tennessee and 4 under
stood Hanover to:.say4it wouId. be
worth $4,000 to him" {,
The affidavit attributed to Judge
Wallace said:
"Mr Hanover made the statement
to Mr.. Burns that if he would change
his vote he would get anything he
wanted and in the moment of excite
ment there was, made. mention by Mr..
Hanover words. to the effect that it
would be worth $4,000 to you"
The suffrage amendment was rati-
fled by the House yesterday by ma
jority of a single vote.
Representative Hanover issued a
statement in which he described: the
charge as mo more than clumsy eff
fort to en7barrass friends and support
ers of the rights of our women" He
declared he had only urged Burn to
vote for ratification, and that Major
Daughtry also did no more than this
Representative Burn, in his .cqal-
munication to, the House, which was
ordered spread on the journal, De
clared that heThad changed his vote1in
favor of suffrage because of his con
viction that justice demanded it.

Should Street Car Fares Be In

The gas situation has become irritating Prices OF
have been increased with rapdty that is alarming, but
the company and the Public Utilities Commission appear
helpless To give the gas company return OF per cent
its valuation the Commission has found the increases
necessary. The company makes its gas from gas oil
obtained from the Standard Oil Company which showing
disposition to forsake profits that of the
burdens upon the public may be lifted Since May L. last,
when gas rates increased to $25, the Standard Oil has
reaped 100000 additional out of local consumers; the coal
barons have pulled down another big and increased

An Educational Problem.

VIII a highly educated citizenship prove a
menace to the United States?
DIR. w. o. Thompson, president of Ohio state
University and member Of President Wilson's
Industrial Commission, declares that many lead
ers in education are giving serious considera-
tion to this question.
'The question as they view II. has It's eco
nomio angles, and one idea they interject is the
question OF whether a finely educated nation
would be willing TO perform Its own manual la
bor," said President Thompson.
There are two alternatives in preparing
for an anticipated growth in the student bodies
at the colleges throughout the United states, II
such a growth Is to be honestly expected and
wanted and maintained. They are; Building
more universities and colleges. or charging
the present ones"
President Thompson's statements were
prompted by announcement that a nationwide
survey OF colleges and universities shows that.
u tho 40 colleges figuring In the survey, keep
up tho growth displayed during the past six
years the total membership of the various stu
dent bodies will reach $1,000 In 1880 and $4,000

On Car Fares.
Now they're in.

TO the Editor Of The Times:
Please permit me to indorse the stand taken
by the West End tisens' Association, both in
regard to reduction OF gas rates and street car
tare, particularly the latter. Recently there
appeared an article saying that the Capital
Traction Company would not seek an Increase
In rates, and quoted them as saying that all
though the number OF passengers carried in
September, 1920, was much less than in Septem-
Der. 1919, their income was IS per cent greater
than In September, 1919.
This same article stated that Mr.. Ham. Of the
w. r. & F., had said that his company could not
stand any decrease In rates and would probably
have to have more!
II does not appear that he is able to make his
per cent return. that he Is continually talk
ing about whatever Increase 10 granted him.
and instead Of permitting him to take still
more from the overburdened public, would Il
not be Just as well. since the Cap tai Traction
Company does not mood an increase, and might
do on less, for the w. r. q T.. CO. to try a new
set OF officials. ....
Let all citizens rise up and indorse this
change, for trial ALICE E. SMITH.
