BOARD ACTS TO md
SPEEDING ON BRIDGE

Speeding over Doran Bridge is go
ing to be stopped, according to action
taken by the board of works. at its
regular meeting Thursday morning.
An employee of the street department
is to be sworn in as a special po-
liceman and will be stationed at the
bridge to keep trucks from making
a speedway out of the structure.
This action of the board and city
engineering department is said to be
necessary because heavy trucks have
been driving fast across the bridge,
and sevedal braces have been broken
recently.
Standardize Fire Hose.
A resolution favoring the widening
of the Peacock road was unanimously
passed by the board. Standardizing of
the fire hose couplings was discussed
by Fire Chief Miller and permission
granted him to have the Richmond
couplings rethreaded so as to conform
with the standard of the state.
Sealed bids for a 10000 gallon oil
tank were opened by the board and
taken under advicement. Consider
able range in prices was shown be-
cause of the leeway provided in the
specifications.
Bills amounting to $4,000 for the
city light plant repairs and new equip
ment were allowed.

BUILDING INSPECTOR
HAS NO JURISDICTION
OF P0ST0FFICE, RULE

Efforts of the city building inspector
to stop the erection of a frame addi-
ton to the postoffice at North Ninth
and A street were temporarily halted
Thursday by letter from the assist
ant secretary of treasury stating that
the city had no jurisdiction over fed
eral property, according to an act OF
the state legislature passed in 1888.
John E. Pinnick. city building in
spector, had registered his protest
against the frame building being built
in the fire district of the city as out
lined by an ordinance. This was TAX
en- up by City Attorney Keller and pro-
test made to the treasury department.
The mailing vestibule, parcel post
shute and repairs that are being made
at the office are of wood which has
brought protests from many people.
Has No Jurisdiction.
The letter from the government
states that 80 far as being any viola
ton of local building code, attention is
called to the fact that public buildings
and sites thereof are not subject to
state or county laws or municipal reg
ulations.'
Mr.. Pinnick stated that he would
try to get the new addition to the post
office covered with stucco which
would make it semi-fire proof and be
a protection to other property owners
near the office.

PALLADIUM NEWS BUREAU

WASHINGTON, Jan. 20. - Indiana
members of congress and Indiana
politicians, in letters addressed to con-
gressmen, are of the same opinion
that the state legislature should not
adjourn this year without taking some
action toward simplifying the state
registration law.
1t seems to be the concensus of opin-
ion among those who take an active
interest in Indiana politics that the re-
quirement of the registration law that
Il registration of all voters shall be
taken before each state and national
election should be eliminated.
What is referred to as a "perman-
ent" registration appears to be the
plan generally advocated by those who
are interested in the question.
Registers Once.
Under such plan a voter after he
had once registered H. the precinct in
which he resides would not be requir-
ed to register again unless he should
move out of the precinct in which he
had originally qualified as voter.
-e There are hundreds of people in
my county who have been required to
register several times since the first
registration law was passed, several
years ago, although they have resided
continuously in the same precincts"
writes a we'll known Indiana business
man who takes considerable interest
in political affairs.
Law Complicated.
1t is stated by many who are famil-
lar with Indiana politics that the
majority of voters regard the present
state registration law as entirely too

FORTUNE IS OFFERED
TOLEDO AS FORFEIT
BY CITY'S RAILWAYS
(By AssG ciated Press)

TOLEDO, O., Jan. 20.-Unable, its
officers say, TO accept the service at
cost ordinance adopted by Toledo
voters at the November election, the
Toledo Railways and Light Company
today asked for a meeting of the city
council at which it is hoped to voice
its objections to some of the pro-
visions of the ordinance.
AS a result of the new turn of af-
fairs in the street car situation, coun-
Gil will be asked to decide whether the
grant shall be nullified at once or per-
r,itted TO become operative at reduced
fare rates on February /.
The annual meeting of the Toledo
Railways and Light company. which
was to have been held today, has been
postponed pending the proposed con-
ference.
Offers Guarantee.
The proposal is that Henry l.. Doher-
ty is unable to raise $1.900,000 to pay
a mortgage on the street railway
property. He asks until next Dec to
clear the property of incumbrance and
offers the city the guarantee of the
city'S service company and SS.000,0 900
in bonds that the mortgage would be
paid.
The latest complications are. if the
rail-light company fails to lift the
mortgage at the date agreed upon, the
company will forfeit from 100000 to
S1,000,000 cash which will be in the
hands of the city sinking fund trustees
and also sS,00O,000 in bonds of the
community traction company, which
also will be deposited as security with
the sinking fund trustees
Would Own PROPERTY.
If the property interest should de-
fault ultimately it was pointed but the
car riders will have had the benefit of
lower fare for at least 10 months the
city treasury will be enriched by u
large amount of actual cash which the
sinking fund trustees will hold and
the city could foreclose its $S,000.000
second mortgage bonds on the street
railway system and acquire the proper
ty by paying off the s1,900,000 first
mortgage bonds

PARIS, Jan. 20-Aristide BRAND 3
new ministry made its bow before par
lament today. and the new premier
read the cabinets declaration of pol
icy. M. BRAND and Philippe Berthe
lot, general secretary at the French
foreign office, sat until after midnight
finishing the declaration, which was
submitted this morning for final ap-
proval to the whole cabinet. This
meeting was held at the Elysee palace
and was under the Craftsmanship of
President Millerand.
1t was forecast that the declaration
would not be of the kind which says :
Our program can be told in a few
words. On the contrary it was said
to be Of considerable length, attempt
ing to give as far as possible, that
light on the foreign policy of France

downfall of the Leygues administra-
ton. Details of the domestic policy
to be pursued were also given con-
siderable attention.
Many Would Speak
The cabinet was confronted in the
Chamber of Deputies by no less than
Is interpretations on questions Of for
ign and domestic policy, including
those announced before the resigna-
tion of the Leygues ministry. 1t was
said that if all speakers who proposed
to take the floor carried out their pur-
pose, two sessions of the chamber
would be required but it was expected
that most of them would refrain from
addressing the chamber and little
doubt was expressed that debate would
be closed this evening with vote
which would give an indication of con-
fidence or lack of confidence in the
government.
NJ BRAND was said today to have a
majority of approximately 400 in the
chamber, inasmuch as the principal
political groups there had decided to
support the cabinet, the radicals alone

Indiana congressman Support
Permanent Registration Idea

complicated. 1t is stated that many
Indiana voters last fall did not visit
the polls because of their opposition to
the existing registration law.
"If Indiana women take the same
interest in municipal politics this year
that they did in national and state
politics last year you can look for bet
ter government in many of the cities
and towns" remarked an Indiana
member of congress-
Women For Home Rule.
eff the bill now pending before the
Legislature, permitting the adoption of
commission or city manager form of
government for municipalities, be-
comes a law I anticipate the big ma
jority of women in all cities will vote
to establish one or the other of these
forms Of government.
Many women in my district have
told me that they are much more in
terested in establishing good govern
ment for the communities in which
they reside than in any other political
issue, and they said that in their opin-
ion good government for municipal
tiles was best obtainable under a com
mission or city manager system.
Personally | believe Indiana cities
operate under such a form of govern
ment, if it is the popular desire, and
hope the bill becomes a law. 1t can
do no harm and, believe, in many in
stances it will do a great amount Of
good.
Indiana women are particularly in
terested in municipal politics because
municipal government is so closely re-
lated to the home. and the home is the
first interest of all good women. Gang
rule in the cities has a baleful effect
on home life, and there will be many
a ward healer and party boss who
will receive the surprise of his life
when the women get through voting at
the primary elections next May and
the general municipal elections next
November"
Denounees Campaign.
John 1hlder, of the United States
Chamber of Commerce. has branded
as iniquitous the own your own
home" campaign instituted some time
ago by the department of labor to re-
lieve the housing situation.
The campaign, unfortunately, was
launched at a time when there was a
serious shortage of houses throughout
the county," says Mr.. Ihlder. THE
campaign precipitated a panicky situa-
ton and induced many people of only
moderate means to purchase houses
at eXhorbitant prices. Out of this
campaign real estate spectators reap
ed a harvest. There were really no
unoccupied homes available for pur-
chase and the campaign resulted in
owners of homes selling their houses
for pure speculation"
