lending to our domes, already gray,
and bringing nearer us the ending Of
hope and dread, and work and play.
Each flying minute makes US older,

the confidence of the Pennyslvania
and when several large locomotives
were being built at the Baldwin works
he was chosen to go to the Baldwins
to supervise their construction. This
was his first introduction to the estab-
1ishment, of which he became the
head in three years after he entered
it's employ. Such is Samuel Vauclain.

gets along, as he says, by attending
strictly to his own business. When

ceeded to do that. Decorated by two
nations for his services in the Europ-

place as the head of a great industry.

Speeding Up the Appropriation Bills

Action on the appropriation bills pending be-
fore the Indiana General Assembly is imminent.
For the first time in many years, the legislature
has the bills before it early in the session instead
of the closing weeks. This shows commendable
activity, for the appropriation measures deserve
the closest scrutiny of the legislators.
With the measures under consideration early
in the session, the members will have time to
study the various items carefully and to question
the wisdom of some of them. In former years
many thousands of dollars were fooishly spent
because the legislators did not have the time and
inclination in the closing hours to give the mat
ter careful consideration.
The state hopes that both houses will chal-

Commenting on the action of the city council
of Fort Wayne in recommending the abolition of
the public service commission, the News and
Sentinel of that city remarks trenchantly:
'The Fort Wayne council has recommended
the abolition of the state public service commits
sion Apparently the Fort Wayne council doesn't
know what the public service commission is. If
it did, it's members would not so foolishly recon-
mend the abolition of a body which has vastly
more intelligence than it has, vastly less dema-
gogy, and which stands between the city's inter-
ests and the folly of the shortsighted, the
unthinkng and the cowardly."
The News is right in asserting that the COM
mission is foil for the shortsighted and un-
thinking who are Unable to recognize true merit
when they see it. The commissions rulings have
saved thousands of dollars to the consumers of
water, electric current and gas in Indiana, often
when the consumers themselves did not realize
that the commission was bestowing favor upon
them.
The abolition of the commission is doomed to
defeat, for too many cities have found protection
of the interests of their citizens in the findings
of the commission.
If state control of the utilities is relinqushed
for the franchise system, the chances ten to
that the public will soon discover the advan-
tages of the former. With the decline in the
costs of production, the utility companies are
very anxious to maintain the high rates which
were granted to them in period when costs were
abnormally high.
Let the commission be abolished, and some of
the companies will at once seek longtime fran
chises from municipalities at the prevailing high
rate schedules. They will succeed in obtaining
these franchises in some cities. The consumers
in those places will be compelled to carry the
burden for many years.
Under state regulation of the utilities, city
may file a petition for a reduced rate schedule
with the commission, and if the municipality
shows that the company is making exorbitant
profit, that body will reduce the schedule to the

The two men soon got to arguing
about the respective merits of the

NJ. M.--What was the mississippi
Bubble? - The mississippi Bubble"
was q speculative scheme formed I'M
der the lead OF John Law. for paying
on the natioual debt of France. 1t
resulted in . financial panic in 1870.
Law was celebrated fnancier and
protector Of commercial schemes, the
son OF . goldsmith and banker. He
was born at Edinburgh In April, 1911;
he died at Venice, March I'll, 1923. In
April. 1894, he killed Edward Beau"
Wilson In a duet in London and was
condemned to death, but escaped to
the continent where for time he led
rowing life. largely that OF a gambler.
At the same time, however. he was
endeavoring to secure the adoption by
various governments of his financial
schemes. especially OF his plans for
the issue OF paper money, perhaps his
pet" scheme. In May. 1915. he, with
others, founded the "Banque Generate"
and succeeded in carrying out with
success his views with regard to paper
currency. his notes be accepted in pay
ment OF taxes, and commanding a pre-
MUM over specie. Soon after that he
acquired from the French government
control of the territory then called
Louisiana" for colonization and trade,
the Compagnie d'Occident being incor-
porated for this purpose in 1717. This
enterprise became famous under the
name Of "The Mississippi Scheme" or
The System This company soon alb
sorbed the East India and China COM
panies. the African Company, the mint
and the power of receivers-general,
thus becoming supreme both in the
American and Asiatic commerce of
France and its internal financial
affairs.
Meanwhile. in 171S, the Banque Cen
erale had been transformed into the
Banque Royale, with Law as a director
general and its notes guaranteed by
the king. On January 5, 1920, Law
was made controller general of fin
ance, and on February % the company
and the bank were combined. For a
while the System" prospered, for
tunes were made in speculation, and
Law possessed great power. but the
overissue Of paper money and the hos
tile action of the government brought
on the catastrophe, and in May. 1920,
the System" collapsed. Law was
driven from France and his estates
were conf1scated. In December he was
invited by Car Peter to take charge of
the finances of Russia. but declined.
In 1921 he returned to England, re-
naming there until 1928. when he
went to Italy. He died in Venice in
1929. But while Law never crossed
the ocean, it was his enterprise that
sent thousands to the Mississippi
Valley.

Reserve Your Seats for the Symphony
If you have not purchased tickets for the con-
certs of the symphony orchestra and have
neglected to make reservations, don't delay day
longer.
The men who are backing this seasons series
of concerts are very anxious to know how many
persons intend to attend. The future fate OF the
orchestra depends in no small degree on the re-
ception which the public accords to its first
season. If the public is apathetic, showing it by
refusing to buy seats, the hackers of the orches-
ira naturally will feel that Richmond is not inter-
ested in this aspect of the cultural life of the city
The price of the tickets for the season is
moderate one, much lower than the excellence of
the productions warrants it but as this is not
commercial venture the management will be sat-
isfied if expenses are paid.
Reservations went fast when the plat was
first opened, but lately the demand for tickets
has abated. Persons desiring to attend the con-
certs are asked to make their reservations at
once.
