Street Car Fallacies

Editor The Times-Refsrring 20 Jeur
editorial, 1.-THE Way to Higher Fares -
would say that / do not think you go
far enough. 10 is quite obvious that
unless the street car company is relieved
from the payment OF the annual charge
OF $4,000 and Of paving between the
tracks that 1t can not pay dividends on
Its stocks and bonds, watered and other
wise, ana charge oaly cents for fares.
OF course a lot OF water was squeezed
out Of the street car eompany's iiabil-
tiles when It was recently organized. but
there is no doubt a lot more that should
be similarly treated remaining that takes
a good-siEed portion Of the compAny's
receipts in the way Of interest charges
When we think OF the thousands upon
thousands Of dollars that have been paid
on the watered stock OF this company since
the franchise was entered into with the
city It can readily ee seen why IL Is in
such poverty stricken condition at the
present time. DO not soc why there
should be so much consideration shown
to the stockholders Of the company Just
because IL IS public service corpora
ton, When you consider that nearly ev-
cry man, woman and child in the city
Of indianapolis is affected by any In
crease In the fares &c is allowed TO
charge. Why should any more consid-
Grafton be shown to its stockholders than
the law allows to be shown to a private
individual, firm or corporation that
makes a contract and dnds out that II
Is going to lose money thereby There
was no public service corporation, nor
any law, to come to the rescue Of the
contractor OF our great State capitol
building I am In favor Of giving the
street car company everything that Is
coming TO Il on an honest and fair basis.
but do not think it is entitled to es-
cope its Just Obligations and at the same
time pay interest on watered stock, OF
which there must be considerable left,
for which It has obligated ITSELF
Your editorial, l again say, is all
right up to a certain point. but 1t does
not go far enough, and l have attempted
to state wherein 1 think 1t fell short.
We are suffering at the present time
from the failure of onr former admin
istrations in dealing with the street car
company In a way that would have pro-
tected the public and, at the same time,
been fair to II. Now that Il has sur
rendered its franchise, the company evil
IDENTIFY thinks that it has relieved itself
Of all obligation to the general public,
and 1t looks to the commission TO en-
able IL TO continue business in the old
way by ordering increased fares, which
at present relate only to transfers, but
which later on, unless the "Jitney"
question can be solved, will also in
eludo the basic fire itself.
It Is a pity that our local company
could not have been run as was that
company 10 Washington, D. c., which
has never had occasion to ask for an
increase In its rate for passenger serv-
ice, for tho reason that it never watered
It stock. IL A. j.

SO BRIDGES AND
CULVERTS TO BE
BUILT BY STATE
Highway Commission Will Re-
ceive Proposals for Work
ON June Il.

On Tuesday, June 21. the State highway
commission will receive proposals for the
construction Of thirty three bridges and
culverts to be built on seven Of the prin-
cipal State highways of the common
wealth at not to exceed an>approximate
aggregate cost of S225,000 The specifi-
cations call tor five bridges to be Of
steel and the others Of concrete, accord
ing to Lawrence Lyons, director.
The new improvements, occasioned be-
cause many Of these structures are in
dangerous condition and must either be
replaced or reinforced Immediately to
safeguard the travelling public, will go
up In thirteen counties and in various
sections OF tho State.
Seventeen Of the proposed new struc-
lures are on the National road, known
as Route 3, and will be located in the
counties Of Putnam, Marshall, Hancock,
Henry, Vigo and Hendricks This high
way, when completed, VIII cross the
State in almost a direct Iile from Terre
Haute to Richmond Four of the i'm
provements will be erected on Route a.
connecting Cincinnati with Evansville and
leading through French Lick All are
IN dubois County Route 8, known as
the Midland Trail from Cincinnati
49, SNSA 'AASohnes 10 81. Louis, Will re-
ceiye one erected in Knox County, and
Route 10. the Dixie Line, Chicago
to Evansville, proposes six in Gibson and
Vigo Counties. The Liberty Way known
as Route 10 from indianapolis through
Logansport to Chicago, will be improved
by three in Pulaski County, while Route
a. Ft Wayne through Richmond to Gin
cinnati will have one in Randolph Coun-
IT, One Is proposed for Route SO, Indi-
annapolis to Danville, Ill, in Fountain
County. This same highway goes
through Lebanon. Crawfordsville and
Covington.
According to William J. Titus, bridge
engineer Of the department, Routes 3
and are to be paved later and It is
expedient that bridges be In before they
are completed as 1t is folly to tie up SEQ
tions Of good roads or force long detours
because OF lack of bridge facilities. The
department is determined that only nee
essary road and bridge construction
proceed at this time due to the high
prices Of road building materials but this
condition does not so seriously affect
bridge work because the price Of labor
the principal item in bridge building, is
now about par with the 1914 level, he

where those pictures were made, to get

Most Of the studios use only union
labor, believe, so there wouldn't be
much chance Of getting work unless you
had a trade and could fit IN that way.
There might be an opening in one Of
the offices-but you can readily see how
many chances there are in most offices
for some one without trainiRg-and there
are no more Of them in the studio Of
fees than there are elsewhere.
So the only thing to do, it seems to
me, is to learn something that viii make

"When he was kind enough to grant our

Mrs Hooper was trifle mhfed at the
rresident for taking this attitude in the
matter now. On Friday tire disagreeaole
duty OF asking favor OF Mr.. jackson
was thrust upon Mrs. Hooper without one
dfsasntinR voice because neither the
president nor any Of the members felt
like facing a possible refusal from the
rich man of the town. But now when
that had been accom- plished the president
inferred by ner tone that committee
appointed by the chair should meet Mr..
Jackson in more or less of social way
to arrange the details. Mrs. Hooper de-
cided to accept the rebuff gracefully and
make way for the president and her
friends. It was so like some women to
develop this kind of pettiness when so
much was at stake.

SHANK BACKING
DOUBTFUL OVER
HENRY E. HARRIS
Council Nominee, Now City.
Employe, Not Very
Enthusiastic

The failure of Henry E. Harris. nomi-
nee for city councilman of the First dis
tFict, to join with other Republican cans
didates in actions evidencing whole-
hearted support of the entire Republican
ticket, particularly of Samuel Lewis
Shank, aspirant for mayor, was explained
in part today when it was learned that
since June 8 he has been an employe Of
the administration of Mayor Charles w.
Jewett - mayor would be greatly
pleased if me chief nominee of his own
party could be defeated, since Mr.. Shank
has promised to drive the News -Jewett
element completely out of power.
Mr.. Harris, before the primary e.ec-
ton, was purchasing agent for the Stutz
Fire Engine Company. When he severed
his connection with this company is not
known, but on June 6, records of the
board Of public works show, he became
an inspector in the city civil engineering
department at a salary Of 500 per month";
Inspectors of the city civil engineering
department Investigate signatures on PEE
titions and remonstrances and are sup-
posed to see that pavements laid by pri-
vate contractors are put down according
to specifica tons.
John E. King, another Republican nom.
inee for councilman, was appointed en-
cheering inspector several weeks ago,
While. Mr.. Harris supported a reso-
luton, adopted in a meeting Of candi-
dates at the Shank residence, a short
time after the primary election, In which
all Republican nominees agreed to stand
by the ticket from top to bottom, ha
has been criticised by other candidates
for playing too much" with the dis
gruntled News-Jewett leaders.
Most Of the stories to the effect that
the other Republican nominees do not
stand with Mr.. Shank in his demand that
Irving W. Lemaux resign from the Re-
publican city Craftsmanship, which other
members Of the ticket vigorously deny
every time they appear, are understood
to emanate from Mr.. Harris and Mr..
King.
Democratic candidates for ccuncilmCa
are making the most of the situation and
are trying to take votes away from Har-
ris and King by telling both Democrats
and Republicans of their connection with
the unpopular News-Jewett regime.
Those who are interested in the cleo
ton of Shank are understood to have less
fear Of the loyalty to the ticket Of King
than Of Harris since King has made no
secret Of the fact that he was working
for the city merely as a means of earn.

with a local automobile factory Is open

Getting Into a Studio

"Is it very hard to get work in a
studio. II one has not had training or
experience what do you think would
be the best method of obtaining po-
sitionG"
An Ohio man wrote me that letter just
recently, and I'm glad TO answer It pub
ncly, because a number Of other letters
have asked that same question.
Now, getting into a studio is a good
deal like getting into any other place OF
business factory, for example. You
know how It would be II you went TO
factory and said Il want work"
They'd ask what you could do. II you
could Go something that they needed
don%. they might engage you. II you
hadn't any special ability, and they hap
pened TO need some one to do something
that admit require any, they might take
you In. That would be all there would
be to II.
IT'S exactly like that in a motion pie
tore studio. Many trained persons are
employed there-aetors, electricians, cam
era man, carpenters, stage hands, pub
ucity writer's, scenario editors, script
clerks, continuity writers, stenograP hers
filing clerks, and II there is laboratory
connected with the studio, there are ever
so many other openings. IN the depart
ments connected with the developing and
printing Of the Aims.
If you are fitted for one Of those poai-
lions and there is one vacant, you have
a good chance to get the job. But If
you're not trained there are fewer open
ings for you.
You may have a chance to get into
scene as an extra, In a mob, or some
thing OF that sort But that only hap
pens II such a scene is being cast.
Looking back over the pictures you have
seen recently you can count the num-
Der Of such scenes that you saw aad see
how many opportunities you would have
had IL you had applied at the studios
