LEGISLATURE IS
URGED TO PASS
CITY GAS LAW
Civic Club Federation Backs
Measures Under Eye
of Assembly.

The Indiana legislature today was
called upon by the Indianapolis
Federation of Community Civic
Clubs to pass the Citizens Gas Com
pany enabling legislation" asked
by the city administration.
Following a discussion of the
movement for the city to take over
the utility in accordance with the
1905 franchise, Edward o. Snethen,
attorney, moved that the federation
urge the Legislature to pass the pro-
posed legislation, at a meeting Fri
day night at the Chamber of Com
merce.
Report Is Accepted
President Oscar Shoellr named
Snethen to prepare a resolution to
be sent to the Marion county dele
CATION to the general assembly.
The civic group also accepted a
report of a committee headed by
D. v. Grifhth, requesting the gas
company to publish semi annual
financial statements as required I'M
der the original franchise.
Three reasons why the city should
enforce it's option on the gas prop
erty as originally intended were
given by Russell T. MacFall, former
sanitary board president, who ad-
dressed the club on the gas Situa-
ton.
List Three Reasons
They are:
l.. Because the property is worth
from $15,OO0,O00 to $20,000,000.
2. Because the city has paid for
gas plant and will have in their
own hands the control of gas rates
if they do not lose the property by
inertia or neglect. Private owner
ship will always demand the high
est rate that does not reduce its in
come and profits.
3. 1t is the only fair and honest
course. The gas users and not the
capitalists bought the 10000 shares
of stock to provide a gas company
for the city in 1905.

SACRIFICING FOR THE PUBLIC.

When Alexander Legge became member of the Farm Board he resigned the Presidency of the Inter national Harvester Company, said to carry with it a yearly salary of $38000 His new position will yield him but $12500 annually It might be said further that he quit an easy position at the head of smooth running and well organized business machine to take up a work that will require lot of hard labor and grief.
 Mir Legge is entitled to large credit for this sort of patriotism However he is already rich beyond his needs and those of his family. He quits cor poration that really does not need him for the reason there are many in the organization he had directed so successfully that capable of taking the place he vacated Therefore the chances that his stockholders would suffer through his resignation work that directly concerns the welfare of 4o,- 100000 people whose living is made from the soil For one who desires to serve the people that ought to be an opportunity rather than a sacrifice MT warburg who quit banking arrangements that netted him half million or more a year to work out the Federal Reserve Act did not regard it as sacrifice. MT Morrow who severed very profitable partner ship in J. P Morgan and Company to be Ambas sador to Mexico has not asked for pity Many of our rich men have retired from business to serve the people in office or in other fields from choice.
 Rather should honor for financial sacrifice go to the poorly paid officials in the bureaus who live pinched lives in order to give the public benefit of their scientific knowledge and ability when they might be drawing much larger salaries in the serv- ice of profit making corporations. Many of these men have grown grey in the service of Administra- tion after Administration in the interest of the public welfare.

DEMONSTRATING HOW TO DIsARM.

President Hoover and Premier Macdonald have caused us to recall declaration of John Sherman when he was President Hayes's Secretary of the Treasury The United States had been paying out Treasury Notes (Greenbacks) for years and it was admitted on all sides that it was desirable to re- sume specie payments. John sherman said the way to resume is to resume" and he began making specie payments It has never ceased, and that was more than fifty years ago. Premier Macdonald and President Hoover have decided that the way to meet the generad demand for disarmament IS to disarm At least they have stopped naval construc- tion for their respective countries-Great Britain and the United States. That is a system that lays decenty at rest the quarrel the difference be- tween a definite naval tonnage represented by 1OOOO-ton ships and 6000-ton ships If both coun- tries stop constructing willy nilly it ought to be easy agree the abstract proposition of equalz ing the navies on paper.

DRAINING WOODLAND LAKE NEMI.

The uncovering of Galigulas galley by draining much of the water out of the woodland Lake Nemi" has not disclosed enough to stay the demand that further draining be stopped. While the famous old royal galley has been sufficiently preserved to authenticate Suetoniuss description of the imperial craft it is said that practically all that has been proved could have been accomplished by divers and modern apparatus. On the other hand, the drain ing has caused nnumerabe landslides and scarified generations. No longer says one correspondent is there the beauty that was caught by Turner in his "dream-like vision" Equally important is the effect of the draining the strawberry and violet crops which have been all but destroyed by the failure of moisture. These the chief sources of peasant livelihood in the vicinity.
 The paintings, -reiefs, mosaics, etc, which garlanded the walls and decks of the galley where Cagula gave his nightly feass wherea fair dancers of that time entertained the royal host and his guests for the most part too badly decomposed and have too nearly disappeared to permit important salvage
 It is worth something however, to look at this great craft of 260 feet in length that was thou sand years old when the Vikings settled Iceland and visited America. It had lain it's lake bed fifteen hundred years when Columbus took back to Spain the news of the discovery of new continent.
 It is not now believed that the other imperial galley that lies at far greater depth than the one uncovered will be recovered It is thought the draining will stop. It would take at least ten
