THE PARK LEVY

If one had no other interest in next
Tuesdays election. there is at least
one cause that should draw him or
her to the polls, and that is the parks
and Fairgrounds levy. Surely there
ought not to be dissenting vote on
this question. 1t means SO much that
we furnish funds to maintain our
pretty parks and beauty spots and
Fairgrounds, the pride and JOY of US
all. Think what they mean to all of
us, all classes. The fine free band
concerts, the place where men can en-
Joy a game of baseball and other pas
times in the evening, and above all
places where our boys and girls can
romp and play to their hearts con-
tent without danger of being run down
by automobile or other vehicles. In
these days of the many automobiles
where would the children play, out of
danger, if it wasn't in the parks and

The Hamilton Evening News is more
lady-like in its comment on council
action. Unlike the Journal, the News
seems to be happy winner, seeming
to be satisfied with the "all's we'll
that ends we'll" stand, and ready to
forgive the losers since 1--WE won out"
and not condemn and bawl out the
other fellow because he couldn't see
things just ssas / do" even after win-
ming. Yes, here is one time the two
dailies agree There's an old saying,
politics makes strange bed-fellows, =
and it would seem that the old adage
is not to hold good only in politics,
but in gas deals as well. But while
the two dailies agree on the subject,
unless the Press very much misses its
guess, they are going to be very much
surprised, after the votes are in and
counted on next Tuesday night, at the
great number of people who disagree
with them-the five councilmen and
Mayor Kelly.

THE AMENDMENTS

The first amendment on the amend
ment ballot relates to what is COM
monty known as the "pay-as-you-go"
plan. 1t limits the borrowing. power
of cities, towns, townships and school
districts. 1t really means that old
debts must be paid when due and It
the law becomes effective it means
the saving of money to taxpayers in
not paying long -time interest on old
time debts.
The second amendment on the bal
! lot relates to taxation. 1t means II
adopted that the general assembly
will have more power for taxing in
tangible property-th is, hidden
wealth. It's adoption would be go,,d
thing for the poor taxpayer about
whose only taxable property is his
home-he has no hidden wealth.
No other explanation should be
needed on the two above amend
ments. Suffice to say that Hamilton's
building associations indorse them and
advise voting "yes" on both of them.
That should be enough assurance to
Hamilton voters that they are OK,
. because Hamilton's building associa-
tions can be banked on in all things
to advise the people right. The Press
says "Vote Yes" on the two amend
ments.
The third amendment on the ballot
relates to the extension and lengthen-
ing of the term of office for county
! officials This amendment is only q
matter of opinion. If you believe
county officials should be elected fol
four years, vote yes" If you dom
think so, vote mo-"

a REFERENDUM

Referendum petitions are being cir
culated against the ordinance passed
by city council leasing the gas mains
to the Columbia Gas Supply Company
Those circulating the petitions report
it the easiest thing in the world to
secure signatures. In fact, they say,
people are hunting up the petitions to
sign them. About 1,700 signatures
must be obtained, but the solicitors
show nearer 1900 signatures at the
finish.
The referendum means an extra
special election which can only be helC
at great expense. The people are de-
termined, however, to vote on the
proposition. The blame for this ex
ira expense can be charged to the
| two daily papers, the five councilmel
who voted the contract, and Mayo
Kelly.
The Press has held all along tina
the trouble and expense of referen
dunn easily could and should be avoid
ed by waiting until after the peopl
voted on the Hamilton Service Com
pany proposal next Tuesday. Blu
council-that is, five members-back
ed by the dailies and Mayor Kelly
refused to listen and now we are il
for it-foolishly.

USE YOUR GAS BALLOT

Now that the gas contract has been
sewed up, so far as action by coun-
ell is concerned, both daily papers are
taking some warm shots at the Ham
ilton Furnace Company proposal to be
voted on next Tuesday, and doing
everything to poison the minds of the
public against it, pointing out what
a horrible calamity it would be
to accept it.
Don't be deceived in this matter.
The daily papers would lead you to be-
heve that the action of council would
make final the awarding of the gas
contract. This is not true The
action by council in passing the leas-
ing ordinance in no way affects the
right of the citizens to vote on the
question next Tuesday. The leasing
ordinance was put through less than
two weeks before the election and il
cannot possibly be in legal effect be-
fore the people cast their ballots on
the proposition Tuesday
Those who are back of the move
ment to turn the gas distributing
strs.a 70 hA NNl,, H.,
Company would have you to believe
that voting on the question next Tues
day is of no consequence, that it is
just waste of time and effort to
vote on it, etc, in order that you be-
come Indifferent and not vote, in
order that the measure be defeated
They, however, and all their friends
that they can gather will vote on it
and they will vote it down.
So don't be deceived by this talk
of mo need to vote" and 'it's all set
tied, the contract has been awarded. y
The Press doesn't attempt to tell
you how to vote We are not super
men that we would command you to
vote this way or that The Press
does, however, urge you to vote on
the question, leaving the decision to
you, believing that you have brains
enough and intelligence enough to
vote what is best without advice from
IN outsider. The Press doesn't want
lou to feel that it believes you don't
know what is good for you and that
you MUST accept what is offered you
and that you MUST vote accordingly
The Press leaves it to you.
BE SURE TO SEE THAT YOU
GET YOUR GAS BALLOT AND
VOTE ON THE ORDINANCE, one
way or the other, BUT BE SURE TO
VOTE 1T.

WHEN DO RATES GO UP?

" HEN III IA Ed uO VI
In its pamphlet mailed to the vot-
ers of Hamilton this week by the
Columbia Gas Supply Company that
company calls attention to the fact
that the Hamilton Furnace Company
is not public utility company and
as such is not subject to public regu-
lation as is the Columbia Gas Supply
Company Well, isn't that perhaps a
good argument why Hamilton should
accept the Hamilton Furnace Com
pany proposition in preference to that
of the Columbia Gas Supply Com
pany? Wouldn't it be safer as re-
CARDS future rates?
If we understand the thing cor
rectly, when public utility company
shows by the figures on its books that
it is not making a certain return on
its investment, the state public util-
tiles commission authorizes and ord
ers an adjustment in increased rates
that brings at least certain returns
on the investment. Supposing the
people of Hamilton would be foolish
enough to lease their gas distributing
system to the Columbia Gas Supply
CO., which is part of the Union Gas
& Electric Co., doesn't that mean then
that, if in two, three or five years the
Columbia Gas Supply Company, by
figures on it's books convinces the
state public utilities commission that
it can no longer supply Hamilton con-
sumers gas at the rates its contract
calls for and make certain return
on it's investment, won't the company
then be authorized to increase its
rates? That at least has been the
experience of some of our big users
of electric current. They made con-
tracts for current with the Hamilton
Utilities Co., now part of the Union
Gas & Electric Co., at certain rate
for period of years, only to have an
amended rate advanced for an in
crease in rates, approved by the state
commission, and which the customers
had to pay The contracts thus brok-
en- were just as binding as they could
be made with a public utility COM
pany.
On the other hand, when company
is not public utility company, it is
not subject to regulation by the states
public utilities commission, and where
such a company makes contract to

on the circulators. Received and
complied with.
Thos. j. Donnelly spoke for about
one hour telling the delegates and
visitors of the interest they should
take in the Workers College and
other benefits Of organized labor.
Judge E. J. Kautz, who is a per-
sonal friend of Thos. Donnelly, at
tended the meeting also and was call
ed on for a few words.

this week from publishing the talks.

AFTER ALL THEY DID

The Journal in an editorial the
other night lambasted the tar out of
the republican city administration and
told what a "bum" and rotten" set
of officials we have, including coun-
eli. The Journal said the only de-
cent thing they did in their two years
of power was to put over the gas
contract. The Journal didn't talk
that way of the five members of coun-
Gil during the time it was coaxing
and jollying them along to put the
thing over-they were nice fellows
and good boys all during that. time.
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1925-10-30

furnish gas at q certain rate for 9
certain period of years, that company
must live up to its original contract.
There can be no comeback for in
creased rates. Wouldn't it then be
safer to have contract of this kind ?
We may be wrong in this article;
if so, we would gladly be corrected.
The Press doesn't want to make any
mis-statements but believes that it
should give the people all the informa-
ton on this question that it can. The
Press only asks that the people be
given their choice in a matter pertain

WHY NOT ANSWER?

WHY NOT ANSWER?
There has never yet been an answer
to the question asked, "Why all the
rush on the part of council on the
gas contract ?" or "Why isn't the mat
ter left to the people z" The daily
papers, yes, tell US it is a good thing
for Hamilton but never yet has any
one of the five members of council
advanced an argument for their stand
to take away from the people the
right to vote on what more than 5000
citizens petitioned for, long before
bids were asked for or even thought
of.
The 5000 petitioners came out in a
fair, open way, their cards on the
table, and submitted their proposition
of putting the gas question up to the
whole people at, the election in No
vember.
Then there was scheme laid to
steal away from the people the right
and privilege to choose for themselves
the gas they want. And the evening
papers helped in the theft by encour-
aging the five council members ir
their, what is designated by many
shameful acting. If they were on the
square in the deal why all the rush
why so many recesses that not mo.
ment be lost in jamming the thing
through?
Who was Kelly, the council mem

A most unusual situation in Hamil-
ton presents itself this year, one
without precedent. Neither of the
daily papers seem to have a candidate
for mayor. Queer, isn't it? Both
papers, however, are deeply concerned
in the election Both are much inter
ested in the gas question. Both want
to see the Hamilton Furnace Com.

are very busy at the job.

FOUR HONEST COUNCILMEN

FOUk HUN ESl SOONSALME E4>
What is the reward of virtue?
The city of Hamilton has been for
tunate in having four men in council
who are HONEST, above any sus-
picion. and sincere in their desire to
carry out the wishes of the people.
These four men are:
Leo j. Welsh.
Gus Bierman.
Carl Barglund.
Arthur Forberg.
These four men are workingmen
and credit to all the laboring men
of Hamilton.
These four men are the only coun-
cilmen who have protected the people
and the best interests of the citizens
of Hamilton on the gas question.
What must be the feeling of these
four men when such a paper as the
Hamilton Evening Journal beseeches
! the voters of Hamilton to repudiatt
them? For what reason? Because

ple's gas system over to the Columbis
