A FIRST CLASS FIGHTING MAN.

Without mentioning party
names, General Dawes pledges
himself to a certain campaign
against demagoguery. In the
campaign which is before me, " he
said TO a group of his Chicago
friends, land as a duty which l
owe not simply to a party, but
to the citizens of the United
States, / pledge myself to adj
here to the truth and to the com
mon sense conclusions to be
drawn therefrom. Here is a
declaration that should not es-
cape the notice of Democrats
who purpose taking an active
part in the campaign. Will they
adhere to the truth" or will
they permit their appeals to be
influenced by the testimony.
brought forth by the ne'er-do-
wells and criminals who appeared
before the Senate investigating
committees =?
If their addresses are to be of
the latter character, they are
likely to become the the special
objects of General Dawes at
tention. AS to the demagogue
on the stump" says he, what
ever may be his party, want it
distinctly understood that In the
coming campaign | ask no quar-
ter and will give none. In this,
at least, know / will have the
sympathy of all good citizens ir-
respective of party, and, and |
hope our political opponents will
follow the same course. Let
common sense reign"
President Coolidge will be
confined to Washington during
much of the campaign, and his
part in the contest for votes will
consist largely of statements is
sued from the White House. But
Gen. Dawes will go among the
people and deliver to them in
person the message from the
party. Without any mincing of
words, they will be told the
truth about the INSCRIPTIONS
methods of the Democrats in
trying to manufacture political
material from the reckless
mouthings of underworld char
acters. The General will give
no quarter in laying before the
voters the truth about the Sen
ate demagogues, and if these
gentlemen think it wise tie meet
lin on that ground they are well
Dme to the opportunity.

pEA6cRATs NOMINATE
JOHN ". DAVIS,

After carrying on one Of the most

W. Davis, Of West Virginia, candi-
date for President of the United States
on the l03rd ballot
While ii is admitted that the selec-
ion OF MIR. Davis is not a bad one, il
is conceded on all sides that owing 10
the inharmonious proceedings OF the
convention and the factional bitterness
'ngendered thereby, his chances Of
election are remote in the extreme.

THIS Company's aim is to exercise
the greatest possible economy in the con-
duct of its business. A substantial part of the
increased costs in the past few years has been
offset by economies in management.
CT, But there is one item of considerable
size-taxes- over which we have no control and
which is constantly becoming more and more
factor of Importance in the cost of giving tele-
phone service.
Gin 1914 this Company paid in taxes
in the State of Maryland $4,000; in 1919 we
paid $4,000. This year our tax bill will be
about 81 900, OOO an increase in five years of
more than 100000. The increase in this single
item is nearly as much as the entire increase in
rates granted us in 1920.
CT, Based on the taxes per telephone,
in 1919 we paid 1923 for each telephone in
service. This year we will pay approximately
$500 for each telephone in service, an increase
of about IS per cent. Out of each dollar
received from subscribers for service, we will
pay 1O.5 cents in taxes.
O, This statement is not made as a
protest against taxation, but because we believe
our patrons should understand the extent to
which the taxes we pay affects the amount of
their telephone bill.

.E|CHSTAEDT FIRM
 FOR SALARY RAISES
Will Try to Carry Through Pro-
 gram Despite Objections

The salary committee of the com mon council will meet tonight to dis cuss the advisability Of recommending; numerous salary adjustments to the common council at tomorrow eve ning's session.
 Despite Mayor A. M Paon ossa's ob- jcctions to any increases now, and those of Chairman Edward F. Hall of the soa I'd Of finance and taxation, statements made by Chairman 4. F. Eichstaedt of the salaries committee indicates that the chairman will make q drive to put across some raises.
 Following Councilman Eichstaedt's s announcement that he had called a meeting to take up the salary ques- ton for the second time, the mayor expressed displeasure, asserting that no increases should be made after I board of finance had set the budget for the next fiscal year. Chairman Edward r. Hall told members of the common council last night that he feels no increases should be made now in view of the finance boards action
 in adopting 22 mill tax budget with the old salary list.
 Chairman Eichstaedt attended the informal session of council members last night. When the appropriations for the charity department were read off he remarked that more money will be needed for the salary item in this department and possibly in others. He made ne effort, however, to have the amount increased.
 Electrical contractSrs who are in- terested in an increase for the elec- trical inspector will be at city hall to- night to request a hearing before the committee on salaries.
