CAR LINES MAY
ADD A NEW LOOP
Tracks to RerOute Downtown
Cars Cost $4,000.

Rerouting of street cars downtown to
relieve congestion and provide faster
and more economical operation of cars
has gone as far as 1t can without com
pelling the indianapolis Street Railway
Company to spend approximately $4,000
for the installation Of tracks turning into
North Pennsylvania out Of East Wash
ington street, city officials disclosed to-
day.
The committee of experts, composed Of
Dixson II. Bynum representing the city
legal department. David Matthews, rep
resenting the public service commission
and James p. Tretton, superintendent of
the indianapolis Street Railway Com
pany, has practically abandoned its in
vestigation of the downtown traffic prob
lem pending a decision as to whether
the car company shall be asked to put
Ia the costly curve.
Rerouting Of all cars serving the
northeast section of the city hinges upon
the curve at Pennsylvania and Washing
ton streets, it Is said. If there were
such a connection between the two
streets it would be possible to turn the
College and Central lines in a loop. on
Alabama or Delaware Streets Washington
and Pennsylvania streets and Massachu-
setts avenue instead Of over the long
route which now leads into the ves~
heart Of downtown congestion.

TO FIGHT
TELEPHONE HIKE
Says Rates Sought More Than
Cost of Two Systems.

The petition of the Indiana Bell Tele
phone Company for increases in rates will
be meet with determined resistance from
the city, Corporation Counsel Samuel
Ashby said today For the public service
commission to grant the raises would be
to compel citizens to pay more for the
unified service of the automatic and
manual systems combined that is now
paid for the two services separately, he
said
1t is not sound economies, Mr.. Ashby
declared, for the company to maintain
that its cost Of operating the two sys-
teI>s as one is going to be more than it
now is for the separate operation. The
price of everything has dropped and still
is dropping since the company got its
increase of 80 per cent over the Burle
son schedules on Feb. 0. 1920 said the
corporation counsel
A large number of verbal complaints
against the petition already have been
lodged with tEe public service commits
sion. In fact the commissioners tele-
phone system was kept conmaratively
busy with calls from irate telephone
users. most of whom said they would
have their telephones removed If the rates
are increased.

on Logs From Lumber. Ex-
porting Countries.
COVERS ALL IMPORTS

WASHINGTON, June 29.-The
Fordney tariff bill was completed
today. 1t was released by the House
Ways and Means Committee for pub
lication tomorrow morning.
The committee was in session

enth-hour changes in the bill. The
lumber schedule has been rewritten.
There will be retained duty Of 80
cents a thousand on shingles and
the President is given authority to
impose duties on logs and dressed
lumber when tongued and grooved
equal to export duties levied by any
country. The President may nego-
tiate for reciprocal treat;Aent be-
tween the United States and lumber
exporting countries.
Every article that has been imported
into the United tates in the last decade
will appear in the bill, the total run
ming mp into the thousands. Nearly 1000
articles that have not appeared in pre-
vious tariff laws are included More than
$4,000 words are used in the bill.

being on an average somewhat higher
than those Of the last Republican tariff,
the Payne-Aldrlch law Of 1909.
II Is estimated the new bin will double
the present revenues from tariff duties
and bring into the treasury between
$500 OO0, 900 and 5000 100000

Tabernacle choir will not participate in
the Fourth Of July celebration at the
State Playground because dancing is to
be permitted, no changes viii be made
in the program.
Following an announcement last night
by E. Howard Cadle, who organized the
huge choir for the Gypsy Smith meetings
here several weeks ago, that the members
of the choir had voted not to appear in
the celebration because of dancing. Fred
Bates johnson, general chairman in
charge of arraug gements for the American
Legion, said today:

possible sin of dancing, If such it be,
is not sufficient to overcome the good

meeting
According to the program the choir
was to have appeared in the Coliseum in
the evening from 80 to s 80 O'Clock and
at the same time dancing was to be held
in the automobile building. Dancing Is
also OF the program for the afternoon.

TEACHERS COST
THREE MILLION
FOR SALARIES
School Board Raises Pay and
Gets Highest Type of
Instructors.
BETTER SCHOOLS RESULT
1y BLYTHE @. HENDRICKS.

BY BLYTHE z. HENDhtCNS'
For the first time in many years
the Indianapolis public schools are
In the enviable position Of being able
to attract high grade teachers from
other cities, instead of seeing the
very cream of the teaching staff
drawn away year after year by other
cities willing to pay higher salaries.
There is no use trying to dodge
the fact, unpleasant as it is, that in
the period preceding 1919 the stand
ard of our public schools dropped
very appreciably. This was due
very largely to the fact that the
board of school commissioners did
not pay salaries of sufficient size to
bold its best teachers. Some,
through sheer loyalty stuck to their
posts, but dozens upon dozens left
to take more remunerative positions
elsewhere.
School boards defended themselves
upon the grounds that the revenues of
the school city were insufficient to meet
the demands put upon them and that
until more money was available salaries
could not be increased. There were also
numerous other reasons assigned But
the fact remains that the salaries were
lamentably low.
The deplorable condition into which
our schools had fallen by January, 1919,
Is shown by a comparison with other
cities Of the same class
At that time in order to ascertain ex-
sctly the condition of the school. a care
ful tabulatiOn of twenty five cities Of the
United States was made. These twenty
FIVE cities, which excluded southern cities
where the conditions were entirely diff
ferent from those existing in Indian
apolis, were selected from the census
tables The twelve cities ranking Just
above Indianapolis, and the twelve rank
ing just below in point OF population
being selected for comparative purposes.
ONLY ONE CITY
PAID LESS.
II was found that in the matter Of ele-
mentary school salaries only one OF the
twenty-five cities paid a lower minimum
and maximum salary than did Indian
spolis. This city was Syracuse. y. Y,
