Gov. Sweet Addresses Pupils.

Governor Sweet addressed the mem
bers of Junior High and Senior High
schools at the High school auditorium
Monday morning. The governor com
pared the influence Of the High
schools of our homeland with those of
Europe. Speaking of ones life work,
and choice of vocation, he suggest
ed independence of thought and
choice, stressing the doing Of the
work that appealed. The thought,
that success in life is not measured
by dollars and cents but by service
rendered to humanity, was empha-
sized.

SWEET DOES NOT QUOTE
MOYElHAN CORRECTLY

The Independent editor was among
those who were invited to a confer
enCe with Governor Sweet while here
Monday, regarding the Western State
college. There were present at the
meeting committees from the Rotary,
Lions club, Chamber of Commerce,
editor of the Delta Tribune, Profs.
Foster, Beahm, Rogers of Delta
schools, and County Supt. Burnett.
While the meeting, which was call
ed by the governor, was an informal
affair, yet the result amounted to but
little, for the governor said he did not
believe in delving into the matter for
the reason that the state board of
trustees was the proper authority to
handle the matter which had arisen.
The governor said the state auditor
and budget commissioner unbeknown
to him had visited the various state
institutions and had rushed into print
with their purported findings. Audit.
or Stong, he said, always liked to see
his name in print. And Casaday is
just as bad" he said.
The governor said Mr.. Rockwell,
speaking of his veto on the separate
bill for a board of trustees for the
Western Slope college at Gunnison,
concurred with him in that matter.
We have not verified this statement.
Governor Sweet took particular
pains to emphasize the fact that Mr..
Moynihan of Montrose, concurred in
what he was accomplishing along his
special hobby, that of 'pardons"
The following published interview
in the Montrose Press does not exact
ly fit in with what Mr.. Sweet had to
say while here:
l have not been acquainted with
such cases, and | have never said
that l stood squarely behind the gov
ernor and pardon board in what they
have done.

arisen. | can not believe that Cover

THE TEAPOT DOME


Any attempt on the part of the
Democratic party to make political
capital out of the so-called Teapot
dome scandal is foredoomed to fail.
ure.
News dispatches reveal that those
who wish to make speeches for the
Democratic party in the Forthcoming
campaign have been instructed to
study the facts in the Teapot dome IN
vestigation with a view of making
campaign material
The facts of the case, however, in.
dictate that Democratic orators will go
bankrupt if they attempt to make po.
litical capital out of Teapot dome at
the expense of the Republican ma
tional administration. No administra-
ton, as no individual, is perfect, in
all things; such perfection is not
given to mankind. Deals" were made
before and after the leasing of Tea
pot dome which appear, from the
press accounts, as worth investigating
A former cabinet member has been
accused of receiving large loans; i'm
plications have been given which stir
the public mind.
In the United States senate, Demo-
Gratis have been roaring in their con-
demnation of the national administra-
ton as result of the Teapot dome
investigation. Already these individ-
uals are casting about for campaign
material for themselves; evidently,
they believe they have found it.
But in the meantime, amidst the
ranting, senate committee, which
is controlled by Republicans, is max
ing an open investigation of all the
facts; summoning witnesses; recall.
ing others whose testimony has been
incomplete; laying the facts before
the nation without attempt at evasion
or concealment. The investigation
itself was approved and made possible
by Republican senate
And as the investigation proceeds,
and additional facts are brought out,
the president, in his characteristic
manner, acts. No leaping at conclu-
sions, no appeals to passion or to
prejudice; no playing to the gallery
by Calvin Coolidge, president of the
United States; with certain facts be-
fore him, he announces that the adj
ministration "is preparing to take
every action to protect the public in
terest and to punish those guilty of
wrong doing"
The American public sometimes is
too hasty, too ready to condemn be-
fore all the facts are in its possession.
The whole Teapot dome lease and
the loans may be clearly explained;
the entire matter may have been open
and aboveboard. The individuals
whose names have been blazoned in
the public press have not been found
guilty; they have not even been tried.
But whatever the degree of guilt or
innocence, the public can be assured
of this; that with Rush Holland of
Colorado, assistant attorney general
OF the United States, on the Job to
learn the facts, and with President
Coolidge ready as always to see that
justice shall be done. the innocent will
not suffer and the guilty will not es-
cape, be they Democrats or Republi-
cans, capitalists or Bolsheviki.

city's credit and carrying on the city
with the present income.
Inasmuch as the proposed sale car
ries with it a contract guaranteeing
us rates for electricity for twenty
five years, no higher than the present
rates the city plant is now charging
consumers, we can see no possible
advantage to be gained by building
new plant. Furthermore, we are
guaranteed lower price, if at any
time during the next twenty-five
years the Union Gas and Electric Co.
grnats any lower rates to any other
municipality they are serving.
On the other hand, if we build a
plant, we will jeopardize the city's
credit if we do not find some other
method of increasing the taxes than
what is now permitted by law. If
we were permitted to increase the
taxes so as to be able to meet the
increased sinking fund requirements
and carry on the city, our tax bur-
den would prove harmful to the future
growth and development Of the city.
We therefore recommend that the
citizens vote Eyes" on the sale of the

Emma Schuler will be found in

PROTECTS BANKRUPTS

Washington.-Th United States
supreme court has ruled that a bank
rupt can not be forced to testify
against himself, if this procedure
would incriminate him. This rule,
based on the constitution, has always
applied to criminal cases, but this is
the first time it has applied to bank
rupts.
The government held that the bank
rupt should be compelled to testify
and that the constitutional privilege
should not relieve a bankrupt from
the duty to give information which is
sought for the purpose of discovering
his estate, and that in England such
an exception to the common law priv
ilege prevails. To this claim Justice
Brandeis replied:
whatever the rule in England our
constitutional prohibition of compu-
sorry self-incrimination has not been
so limited" /"

Hamilton, Ohio, October %, 1924.
To the Citizens of Hamilton:
The sinking fund trustees of the
City of Hamilton, charged by law
with the responsibility of meeting the
obligations of the city's Indebtedness
as evidenced by bonds, feel it our duty
to call the attention to the city's OBJ
legations, inasmuch as they are of
vital Importance to every citizen and
have to be paid, constituting as they
do first-lien on every bit of prop
erty, whether owned by the city, or
whether by private firms, corpora
tions or individuals.
The total bonded Indebtedness of
the City of Hamilton as of October
l, 1924, is $4,459.957.3l. Of this
indebtedness s3,34O,972.SO has been
created for public improvements, such
as the waterworks, the gas works,
the electric light plant, the city's por-
tion of improved streets, fire depart
ment equipment and various miscel-
laneous public improvements. The
balance, S1,118,89451 represents spe
cial assessment bonds, the payment
of which is provided for by assess
ments against abutting property
owners.
The sinking fund requirements to
meet the interest on the bonds and to
pay that part of the principal falling
due for the year 1924 is $485, $685. .83,
and for the year 1925 is $498, ,751.74.
For the year 1926, provided no addi-
tional bonds are issued, the sinking
fund requirements will be $571, ,912.30.
The City of Hamilton receives as its
portion Of the tax-money gathered
about $500,000. From this ii, will be
seen that practically every cent the
city receives from taxation is requir-
ed to meet the interest on outstand-
ing bonds and the payment of bonds
falling due for the years 1924 and
1925; and in 1926 the sinking fund
requirements are many thousand dol
lars in excess of the city's portion of
the taxes. We have reached the point
where our interest and bonded indebt-
edness payments require more money
than the city receives from taxes, and
there is only one of two courses to
pursue; either to reduce our bonded
indebtedness which will reduce the an
nual interest charges, or else II
crease the taxes so as to give the
city more money. However, if we in
crease our taxes to the extreme limit
permitted by law, we can only raise
about 100000 additional to what we
are now paying, and that sum falls
far short of what is required to carry
on the city and meet the sinking fund
requirements.
The bonded Indebtedness of the
city can be decreased S1,170,00000 if
the voters approve the sale of the
electric light distributing system on
November 4. This is reduction OF
35 per cent in the amount of the
general bonded Indebtedness of the
city. This payment of bonds will de-
crease the annual interest and sinking
fund charges more than one hundred
thousand ($10O,0OO) dollars annually
and it will give the city that much
more money to carry on.
Inasmuch as it is generally conceded
that additional bonds will have to be
issued in addition to those already
authorized, if we do not approve OF
the sale, and enter into the project
of building new electric light plant,
we see no way of maintaining the
