Before Voters Have
Cast Preference at
Polls.

Responsibility for each one of
nearly 100000 official ballots rests
on the group in the above photo
and others similarly engaged in
counting, sealing, wrapping and
packing them for the nihetytWo
county clerks. Each worker in the
ballot count is duly sworn in by
Secretary J. Otto Lee Of the state
printing board, who has charge of
the distribution.
The men in the group wear otfic-
ial police badges and guards are
placed about the workers. The job
is being done in the north end of
the main floor corridor at the
Statehouse. Huge melting pots are
filled with red wax, used to make
the official seal on the package.
They are then packed in wooden
boxes, especially constructed and
nailed shut.
Clerks must call for the boxes in
person. In seven of the ninety-JWo
counties the clerks are women.
Harry Nichol, jefferson county, was
the first to call for ballots. q

CHICAGO SUNK
S12,OOO,OOO BY
WATER DEBT
Politics Clogs Municipal
Operation; $3O,OOO,0OO
Equipment Needed.
BIZ United Press

BIZ United Press
CHICAGO, Oct 23.-The second
largest city in the country built up
on the shore of the second largest
lake in the world has gone in debt
$10,000000 for water.
Before the end of the year
another 100000 may be added to
the amount of indebtedness Chicago
has incurred for obtaining what
most visitors, looking out over Lake
Michigan, seem to think is about the
most abundant commodity in town.
The visitor who thinks water is
cheap has failed to consider politics.
Chicagos water plant is municipality
owned. 1t was self-sustaining at
one time, but for the last seven
years it has been running into debt.
SSO,OOO,OOO Equipment Needed
In 1914, the city water depart
ment had a surplus of $4,1600l8.
Then the politicians hit upon the
plan of giving the profits back to the
voters by increasing the discount.
BY 1922, red figures had begun to
appear on the account books Of the
department. The deficit that year
was 1865 ,991. Since then it has in
creased at an alarming pace.
Today, in addition to facing the
prospect of winding up the year
S12,000,000 in debt, the department
must figure on raising S30,0OO,OOO
for new filtration equipment and on
going through with an elaborate
meter program.
Water meters have been required
by. the federal government as a
check on the amount Of water Chi
aago draws each year from Lake
Michigan. Other great lakes states
contend that Chicago is so waste
full with It's water that the level Of
the lake is being lowered to the
detriment of interlake shipping
Plugged Leaks at SIS Day
Mayor William Hale Thompson
undertook to stop the waste by flnd-
ing all the leaks in the water pipes
and plugging them up. He EN-
ployed Harry o. Biosat at SIS day
to serve as head of a city-wide water
waste control division and induced
the city council to appropriate
$1,000,000 for the work.
The mayors plan now has been
abandoned, a large part of the
CT mn mn hai,,o FRO =, cforrad m the
pay roll of the commissioner of pub
lie works.
Before Chicago can begin reducing
its water bill it must either raise its
water rates or reduce its salaries
and pay rolls. Enemies of the
Thompson administration contend
that per cent of the names on the
water works pay roll are temporary
political job-holders.

alton indicated that negotiations
were under way to day for the for

Through arrangements with for

FIRE WORK OR

C. 0. P is TOLD
Party Must Take Blame for
Leases, Charges Daniels
in Addresses.
BIZ United Press

BIZ United Press
WAYNESVILLE, N. c., Oct. %. -
The Republican party either must
demand the resignation of DR..
Hubert Work or accept the respon-
sibility of his renewal of the Salt
Greek oil lease to the Sinclair in
terests, Josephus Daniels, former
secretary of the navy, said in an ad =
dress here Monday night.
Daniels said Herbert Hoover
should demand Works resignation
as chairman of the Republican ma
tional committee.
He attacked the renewal of the
Salt Greek lease by Work, then sec
rotary of the interior, and criticised
Work. successor. Roy o. West.
"Tb5 latest exposure OF secret
leasing of oil lands shows that AL
bert B. Fall, still is in fact, secretary
of the interior, and that the Repub-
hcan national committee must have
a new chairman if that party ex-
poets to retain the confidence of
even its most loyal standpatterS,"
Daniels said.
Salt Greek Excursion
"That Salt creek transaction
should insure the Republican party
an excursion up Salt river on Nov.
6. It is evident that so far as the
matter of parting with oil lands be-
longing to Uncle Sam is concerned,
Albert Fall still dictates the policy
of the Coolidge administration, mi
nus the little black bag and the.
conspiracy of corruption"
Daniels charged that Work be-
came secretary of the interior with
"fulI knowledge" of the oil scan
dalS, and that "any prudent sue
cessor would have refused to con-
tinue or sanction any Fall trans
action until the courts had given
their o. K.
West Is Assailed
"The excuse that the solicitor ap-
proved the extension of the lease is
no defense. A lawyer in the navy
gave approval to Teapot Dome's
lease, and one temporary admiral
was found to approve the scandal
of leasing the petroleum oil re-
serves. This did not save DENLY
or Fall from the condemnation by
the people or the supreme court. 1t
cannot save Work" Daniels said.
Daniels predicted the Senate
never would confirm the selection
OF West as secretary of the interior,
and denounced him las the man
associated with insult to buy the
senatorial election in Illinois for the
former Senator Smith"
