Recommend Cut In
city Employees Pay

Continued from PAGE One
only q question Of time when the clean
ing force will be reorganized, and 1t Is
estimated that the work can be done at
one third of the present cost, which is
approximately $275, 900 annually, ac-
cording to Councilman Roper, Of the
Sixth district.
Reduce Building Inspectors
Building inspectors in the city service
now receive $1,000 a year. The salary
recommendation for this class will b,
from $500 to S2160. - ' -
Many Of these men are expert me :
chanics, who can make more money fol-
lowing their trades.
It Is said that there are many ex-
amples of individual positions in which
the present rate of pay is higher than
the maximum rate recommended for the
class, in which most of the employees
will, however, receive slight increase.
The recommended salary reductions
affect not only the lower positions In
the city service, IL Is understood, but
will affect some of the supervisory po-
sitions.
A reduction in salary for new aps
pointees to the position of chief of the
Bureau Of Gas is an example. The in
crmbent is DR.. n. Wiley Thomas,
whose salary is $4,000 a year.
While il is said his salary will be
decreased, the cut is not known.

be sent TO direct the work and that all
the fund would be turned back to the
state committee In Kentucky.
Mr.. Garrett said that 10. g. Fitzger-
aid, of Dayton. o., was sent to aid him.
and taht the fund was virtually all
raised by June I, since which date he
had made no effort to get additional
subscriptions. He said that he himself
set $4,000 as Jouisville's quota Of the
fund, and denied the Cox charge that a
levy of $50. 900 had been made on Re-
publicans of that city.
"But you would not know whether
Republican headquarters In Chicago
had a quota sheet containing that fig
ure?" suggested Senator Reed.
mo, sir, I would not" said Mr..
Garrett. ..
The witness told Senator Pomerene
that he thought that at least 500, ,OOO
would be needed for an adequate state
campaign in Kentucky, and after Sen
ator Kenyon had him express a similar
opinion as to Democratic needs In the
state the Iowa senator remarked that
400 miles seemed long way to bring
n man to obtain such an opinion. Mr..
Garrett said he expected his organiza
ton would be turned over to the state
committee in Kentucky to collect funds
in addition to the S25, 200.

prndured any proof

In fact, the campaign fund is extrnor
dinarily clean. The only fly in the Re.
publican ointment is the foolish zeal OF

Governor Cox something to talk about.

e1orbitant fund has been collected, or
was really in process of being collected,
when Cox made his charges.
Judge MoOre's leads we're simply
names Of local collectors. lie did not
introduce a scrap OF evidence 10 show
that any money had been collected for
which Treasurer Cpham had not ac &.
counted.
There were some apparent discrep-
an"icS. but these wrr" due to the fact
that the local statement of funds col =
,"rtrd covered tho whole period, from
January to date. while Judge Moore
was comparing them with Mr.. Upham q
accounts from July IA to date. When
Mr.. I'pham's figures ftpm January l
70 July Il were taken Mto considera
ton. the local acroWts always squared
with Mr.. Tpham's reports.
Summoning the, local collectors
throughout the country will be an end
less process If the committee let's Judge
Moore have his way entirely. On the
disputed circular letter from Michigan
were tho names Of four men whom he
would like to have called. He gave the
names of six or eight from Ohio, and
50 on with several other states. And he
told the committee that new names
"new leads" as he called them-were
coming into him daily by telegram from
all over the country.
Republican Record Is Clean
Calling these local collectors will
establish large quotas fixed upon the
localities. As already explained in this
correspondence. state committees TOOK
Mr.. Upham's state quotas and expanded
them three or four times before dividing
them up among the localities. In thif
way, undoubtedly some of the very
large quotas for cities contained on
Governor Cox's list were probably
fixed. Republican members Of the com
mittPe naturally would like to keep these
local quotas from coming out.
The professional money -raisers did an
indiscreet thing politically, when they
made these large local quotas for fund
raising purposes. II the local quotas
are established. Governor Cox will have
n certain talking point. He will declare
that the Republicans always intended tC
raise these large amounts, although all
the evidence goes 10 show that they had
no such Intentions
| Evidence before the committee proves
that the fund was a popular fund and
not one made up by large contributors

the witness knew the idea came from
Mr.. woodford.
''But you talked about il with Mr..
Protzman, representative of the national
committee. and he concurred with you
in 100000 as the amount to be
raised, suggested Senator Reed.
"Oh. yes," said Mr.. Blossom. THAT
amount became a matter of common
knowledge among the workers for the
fund"
senator Kenyon was told there was
nothing sinister about thel luncheon
to team captains, and then asked
whether It was difficult to arouse en- :
thusiasm because Cleveland was dry.
'If prohibition interferes with the
Republican campaign fund It is the best
thing have heard about it," interposed
Senator Reed.
A reference by Senator Kenyon to
Governor Cox's phrase about use Of
bayonets to put down labor, brought
from the witness n reply that the charge
was complete news" to him. He told
Senator Reed that he did not know
, whether Michael Gallagher. head Of the
executive committee In Cleveland, had
asked for militia during the mine strike
of last fall, neither did he know
whether Mr.. Gallagher was under in e
dictment on a charge Of violating the
Lever act.
At one stage of the examination of
Mr.. Blossom, the Missouri senator re
marked:
80 it was after a good luncheon, an
inspiring speech by Congressman Fess
with everybody feeling good that you
started out and made the raid"
The witness smiled, but Senator Ken.

ing phrase to Senator Reeds sugges-
tion.
~ do not think the witness should
be led into the position of using Ian
guage with which he does not agree"
said Chairman Kenyon.

fine rejoined Senator Reed amid
laughter. "If you leave me alone. III
be good natured all day"
Moore Not Present
T.. ii. Moore, Governor Cox's repre-.
sentative, who testified yesterday, was
not in the room when the committee
was called to order. The first witness
was II. G. Garrett. of Winchester, XIV.

ways and means committee.
He said that Henry Owen. chief of the
staff of Fred W. Upham, asked him TO

Deerfield. ILL.,, Sept. S.-Just before
his special train left last night for st.
Paul and Minneapolis Senator Harding
made rear platform speech to crowd
of townsfolk, describing his boyhood
days in a small village and declaring
that in his opinion the villages of Amer
ica hold the greatest happiness and love
of law and order to be found anywhere.
He praised the small town also as a
model Of democracy, and to illustrate
his point recounted the varying degrees
Of success that had been attained by his
various boyhood friends.
His references to characteristics Of
the small town kept his audience laugh
ing and applauding, and at the end of
the speech they gave three cheers for

RECORDS PROMISED IN 1920
Millions to ee Spent In Improving
Public Highways and Transporta-
ton Facilities.

Tho year 1920 promises to develop 4
revolution in Americas two great
problems-highways and transporta-
ton.
All over the country great interest
is being manifested in better roads
and improved transportation facdli-
ties.
The coming Of the pneumatlc.tired
motortruck has given an impetus to
the movement for a national highway
system that is sweeping everything
before it.
State after state has passed. with
out noticeable opposition. appropria-
tons for millions Of dollars to build
and improve main market and inter-
county highways.
What these activities portend can be
visualized In some measure when 1t 10
said that Of the 100000 miles Of
roads in this country only 1000 miles
are improved.
Motor transports work ut highest e.
fIcisncy on good roads. although the
pneumatic truck tire is rendering con-
spicuous service In transporting
heavy loads over swamp ground and
the sandy soil Of fruit groves.
