TAGGART'S KINDNESS
RETURNED IN KIND
BRIDGET NAGLE REMEMBERS
YOUNG TOMS COURTESY
AND PROVES HER LOVE.

Thomas Taggart, Democratic candi
date for United States senator
learned early in his political career
how sweet it is to be remembered by
helpful and appreciative friends. The
story of Bridget Nagle will never
grow old. for it is typically a story
which illustrates the mutually and
unselfishness of the friendships that
brighten Thomas Taggarts career all
along the way
When young Tom Taggart-he was
19-left Xenia, Ohio, 10 go to Garrett,
Indiana, to help open an eating house
for his Ohio employers, he was es-
cort to little Bridget Nagle, pastry
cook from Dayton, Ohio, an elderly,
friendly body, who. as ii happened,
was very thinly clad, and consequent
ly not prepared to withstand the bit
ter cold of the harsh December time.
At Deschler, Ohio, in fireless barn
of station, the were called upon
for n long nigh wait on delayed
train. Young I ggart induced the
matronly Bridget to try for a nap.
When she awoke two hours later,
cozy. snug and refreshed, she found
the boy had wrapped her carefully in
his new oyercoat, and that Tom was
exceedingly busy slapping himself
and performing all sorts OF acrobatic
stunts in an effort to keep his blood
stirring.
God bless you" said the 81 =
Irish woman as she returnCl i.
overcoat to it's owner.
Tom Taggart blushed and smiled
and hurried the little lady to the
train. But that's not all.
Ten years later Thomas Taggart
entered upon an uphill battle for po-
litical honors-auditor of Marion
county. At the time Bridget Nagle
was still in Mr. Taggarts employ.
She called upon him.
They tell me you're gettin' into
politics. she said.
That's very true" was the reply.
II want TO be county auditor
You'll be needin' a lot OF money,
mebbe? suggested Bridget Nagle.
ut will take some money. yes
said the puzzled Thomas.
The little Irish lady reached into
the bosom OF her dress and produced
a roll of bills.
"Thatll help" she said, simply.
handing Mr.. Taggart 800. all her
savings I've loved you ever since
the night you put your overcoat on
me and went cold yourself, over
there at Deschler." she declared. now
would she be denied her part In the
election OF her friend
That was the one and only con-
tribution to my campaign fund that
year" said MIR. Taggart. when re-
minded of the episode.
Bridget Maggie had good reason TO
remember Tom Taggart and his
chivalric friendliness in after years.
Her contribution To tho first Taggart
campaign bore good fruit and rich
harvest.

HIGHWAY BOARD

Contracts for Sums 5000 In Elk
cess OF Amounts Paid Per
Mile for Better Roads In
Marion County.
TAX BOOST is PREDICTED

The Indiana state highway commits
sion, all of whose expenditures are
subject to the. approval OF the gov
ernor. Is now spending the money OF
the taxpayers OF Indiana at a rate
which will require revenue amount
ing to s212.937,732 to complete the
building of the $500 miles OF road de-
signated for Improvement by the
commission, according 10 the Demo
cratic state handbook.
Unless the taxpayers Of Indiana
call halt on the politically domi-
mated organization which is now be-
ing directed by l.. II. Wright, with
the approval OF Governor Goodrich,
they will have to pay taxes amount
ing to such a staggering sum that an
increase of 1915 in the tax levy
would not be sufficient to produce the
money in one year and consistent
levy of 30 cents higher than the
present levy for ten consecutive
years would be necessary to raise the
expenses of the highway construc-
ton work now contemplated
Loose Methods to Blame.
The tremendous cost of state high
ways In Indiana is due to three
things:
1. The letting of contracts for
construction to political favorites at
more than $4,000 a mile excess cost
over the price Marion county pays
for better constructed roads.
2. The expenditure of sums at
least half as large as the construc-
ton costs of roads in overhead ex
penses such as salaries, travelling ex-
penses and office expenses in the
support of the highway commission.
3. The maintenance by the COM
mission of an expensive retreat for
political workers in the form of
vast maintenance" department pre-
sumed to keep up the roads under
state supervision to which it at
tached a motor transport" depart
ment equipped With government
trucks.
Prior to Augusts1, 1920, the state
highway commission had expended
s1,74S, S73.Os, only s974,75Is2. of
which had been spent in actual con-
struction work on highways.
Prior to this date contracts had
been let and the commission had
obligated itself to pay S4,73S,741.36
for 1873 miles of hard surfaced roads.
The average cost per mile of con-
work on these roads was

Waste Total Of $823,4o3.

During the period that the state
highway commission was contracting
for roads at an excess cost of s6,191
mile and thereby wasting 1923 ,403
Of the taxpayers money it was also
spending in it's operation for salaries
and expenses the sum Of $3.50 ,121.24,
or an overhead of approximately So
$40 a mile and at the time the over
head costs reach this point only
about one-fourth OF the contract work
underway had been completed.
OF course, there will be more over
head expenses in the completion of
these contracts now let and IL II con-
tinues at the same rate as heretofore
II will be four times $3.50 a mile or
$23.516 a mile. a sum equal TO ap-
proximately &C per cent. of the cost
OF construction.
Here again is a tremendous outlay
of the peoples money and in a pro-
portion that no one will attempt to
say is necessary In the conduct OF
private business.
At the same time that these ex-
cess profit contracts were being al
lotted to the favored few and the
overhead expenses were equalling GO
per cent of the construction costs.
the department was operating a
maintenance department and q
motor transport" department.
The maintenance department was
costing the taxpayers an average OF
more than $4,000 n month and very
little maintenance work was being
done. The expenditures of this de-
partment 10 August /, 1920 from

$201 1867 OF the taxpayers money
UP TO August 1, 1920. an average OF
$4,000 month or s16S.000 year
In other words. the highway COM
mission, as at present operated. is
spending s35 .633.37 a mile for road
construction and the overhead cost of
this construction is at the rate OF
$23,5l6 a mills
Reaches Staggering Sum.
There are approximately $4,000
miles OF highways in Indiana.
The commission proposes TO take
over and improve approximately 5000
miles OF these roads. or about 5 per
cent
Basing as estimated cost OF this
work on the actual cost of complet.
ing 1873 miles now under contract, an
idea OF the ultimate costs of improv-
ing per cent. OF lndiaria's roads by
the Goodrich commission methods
may be obtained.
Unless there is a radical change In
the manner In which the taxpayers
money is expended the cost will be
5000 times s35.sS337 plus 5000 times
$23,5le or s2l2.937,732.
