LOWER PASSENGER
RATES PREDICTED
BY W. H. ATKINS

WASHINGTON. May 26-Lower
passenger fares on the railroads will
follow the sweeping cuts in freight
rates. high government officials de-
clared today.
A strong minority of the inter
state commerce commission main
tains that lower passenger fares are
essential to larger revenues from
the travelling public.
People are not doing much trav-
cling now under present high rates.
This was shown by interstate COM
merce commission figures today re-
vealing that passenger traffic on all
railroads in the United States is
100000, 900 passenger miles below
normal
Administration officials believe
the roads must cut their passenger
fares to a lower figure to attract
more earnings from that source.
There also is strong belief at
the commission that the railroads
should issue again the popular mill
cage book at a reduced rate of fare.
The commission members declare
this would stimulate travel and raise
the earnings of the railroads.

Some ten years ago many people
thought Carl Nelson was taking a
long chance when he opened up a
drug store on the corner of Hob
man street and Muenich Ct, away
from the center of trade gravity and
where, at that time. there was no
great clatter of feet.
But Nelson had faith in the growth
of South Holman and time has now
shown that his vision was not far
from correct. Since then the south
end of this thoroughfare has devel-
oped to such an extent that this sec
ton is not only getting the overflow
of shoppers. but also those who by
habit, are patronizing these insti-
tutions.
There are enough business houses
already established to make the
south end of Holman street an i'm
portant and permanent trading CEN
ter. At any rate. IT looked that
way to Nelson and he according gly
prepared for 1t, by opening up first
class drug store.
That his faith in the further de-
velop1nent of this stretch is increas-
ing is shown by an additional in
vestment Of several thousand dol
lars in completely rernodeling the
store, which has just be completed.
II IS aid the Nelson drug store now
ranks among the finest TO be found
anywhere Interior sections are
shown in illustrations elsewhere in
today's Times.
Tomorrow, Mr.. Nelson IS expecting
the greatest day in the history of
his store. He will hold open house
to all friends and customers and to
make things doubly interesting,
there will be special offerings
throu ghout the store and valuable
souvenirs given with all purchases.
Preparations have been made to am
ply provide for the crowds

COP. Raps
PublicService
Commission
BY MAURICE EARLY

1NDIANAPOLIS. May 26 The
adoption OF a plank urging the next
legislature 10 abolish or reform une
Democratic" public service COM
mission law was the feature of the
closing session of ~tne Republican
state convention in Tomlinson hali
yesterday. The entire platform
was prepared by the resolutions
committee, was adopted by a viva
voce vote and all the present state
officials and judges whose terms
expire this year were re-nominated
by acclamation.
While Governor McCray and other
Republican leaders believed men
tion of the public utilities law in
advisable and conferred with the
resolutions committee while the
convention was in session the ma
jority insisted that 1t be incorpor
ated In the platform.
The brief mention of the, public
service commission is as follows.
legislature either abolish the Dem
ocratic public utilities law, or so
amend it as 70 make IL responsive
TO the peoples welfare"
LEADERS DIVIDED
When this plank was read by Ed
gar A. Bush. chairman OF the reso-
lutions committee. IL won the ap-
plause of the convention. Despite
the apparent popularity OF the
plank among the rank and file OF
the delegates there were a number
of Republicans who insisted that
whatever public displeasure there
has been against the commission
this is being dissipated because
utilities are appealing from the COM
mission to the federal court and are
obtaining higher rates in this man
ner.
No mention is mad. in the plat
form of the statewide direct pri-
mary law although a fight was made
in the resolutions committee to
have the party declare for its re-
peal.
Patrick ]. Lynch, clerk OF the
supreme and appellate courts, won
easily over Henry A. Roberts of In
dianapolis, who opposed him for the
nomination. This was the only con-
test for nomination Mr.. Roberts
halted the roll call OF counties when
Mr.. Lynch's total vote exceeded
the number necessary for a choice.
After making a brief speech de-
claring he would be good loser.
Mr., Roberts moved that Lynch's
nomination be made by acclamation.
TAX CHANGE OMITTED
Through the efforts of Governor
McCray, State Chairman Lawrence
Lyons and members of the state ad-
ministration a plank favoring re-
turn of control over bond issues
TO local governmental units, which
had been inserted in the platform
by the resolutions committee was
eliminated befxe the document was
presented to the convention for ap-
proval.
