An Editorial
insult Points the Way

THANK insult for pointing the way to real transporta
ton system for this city.
He throws the bait that finally there will be public
ownership of street lines.
If eventually why not now?
The proposal which he submits be classified only
the bodest bit of bgandage sought to be perpeated
any community in generation
Sifted essentials, he proposes take out the
only which chance of increased value the Trac
ton Terminal building capitalize rused rails and decrep
at millions and then mortgage the future generations
of this city to pay interest values that do not exist
He tipped his mtt when he offered public ownership in
the future That admission that the people their
transportation system quite well he He adj
mits- that public ownership is feasible.
Were tina not enough his publicity agencies declare that
under his propoed franchise the city will transporta
ton who, in effect shall be the general manager
In other words any claim superior intelligence in the
operation of street lines is nued by the concession
probably nsncere that the city shall the who will
supervise all finances and all operation of the system
IF the city capable of naming such why not have
him operate for the citizens of indianapolis instead of
for insult?
Make mistake. The proposal of insult has behind the
most complete organization of public influence of any scheme
yet thrust upon any public
Most of the big banks all the brokers' large portion of
the great law firms have been fixed"
The tragedy of it is that the security holders of the
bankrupt system will get nothing or little.
BEHIND the DuWarkOf WIDOWS ana orphans, Sinks Insult
and his holding company through which millions will be taken
away from the people Of this city, his scheme goes through
In brief insult takes out the valuable Traction Term
nal building for a separate company.
He puts valuation of more than eleven millions
system which his propagandists call decrepit.
Out of 161 miles of rails all but 81 must be rebuilt
Out of $50 cars, only 80 are in good condition
To put value into tnese vaueess things, he offers
millions of new money through his holding company.
LIE offers the lure of final ownership of these lines by the
city, and when he throws out this bait, he admits the
righteousness of public ownership
If to have public ownership, have it If we
pay for the lines, buy them at their real value now
not later, and, if necessary junk them.
1t is unfortunate that purchasers of bonds and preferred
stock have permitted themselves to be placed i'll unfor
tunate position by mismanagement of this company.
1t would be unfortunate if the people of this city
permitted themselves to give consideration to these
ty holders when the future of the city is at stake
Transportation is the life blood of the community.
The insult proposal suggests that the city is quite
capable of doing the job for itself.
If that is true, the time to buy now under fair ap
praisa after the insult holding company has looted from
the inside
Force the legislature to give this city the right to be
free.

HIGH COURT
RULES TODAY
ON BILLINGS
Members of CALIFORNIA;
Tribunal Meet to Hand
Decision to Governor.
PARDON HELD UNLIKELY
Fate of Mooney Also Hinges
on Action of
Justices.
BY GEORGE ID. CRISSEY
United Press Stan Correspondent

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 1.-Mem-
bers OF the California supreme court
went into conference at $50 a. III.
today to consider the fate of Warren
K. Billings, serving a life sentence
for conviction of completely in the
San Francisco Preparedness day
bombing, July %, 1916.
1--WE are unable to announce the
decision now" Chief Justice Will
liam Waste said, because two JUS
tees have not decided the exact
manner in which their opinions win
be presented"
Mooney and Billings have spent
fourteen years in prison since the
San Francisco bombing. July %,
1916, and upon the courts recon-
mendation rested their chances for
being liberated.
Information received by the
United Press from usually reliable
source is that the pardon will be de-
MED.
Same Fate for Both Men
1t is considered possible, although
hardly probable, that the live SEN
tence Billings is serving might be
committed. according to the United
Press informant.
A court recommendation in the
Billings case was necessary because
California law provides for such
action in pardon applications of
twice convicted men, such as
Billings.
MONEYS pardon petition is be-
fore Governor Young, but his fate
hinges on today's decision also, as
the Governor has announced that
the cases are similar and that both
men would be treated according to
the courts recommendation in the
Billings case.
This is the second time the court
acted on Billings pardonspetition.
His request for a favorable recon-
mendation was denied last July and
Governor Young used that recon-
mendation as guide in denying
MONEYS pardon plea.
The fight of Mooney and Billings
for full pardons started almost the
day they we're convicted.
Money Is Impatient
Mary Gallagher, secretary of the
Mooney Defense League, told the
United Press it would not end now
if the pardon were denied.
Both Mooney and Billings re-
quested unconditional pardons. Both
announced that paroles would not be
accepted as they contend paroles
carry an inference of guilt.
Mooney, now a gray-haired man
of middle-age, waited impatiently at
San Quentin for word of the de-
ciSion. At Folsom, the states in
Stitution for ''two-time" losers.
Billings was outwardly calm. The
little man, who was only % when
convicted, is much less emotional
than Mooney.
The last time pardon petitions tor
the pair were rejected Mooney de-
nounced the officials concerned and
called upon laboring men 20 work
against them at the polls. He lost
numerous prison favors for this out
burst. Billings, however, seemed as
calm as ever and said:

this pretty hard"
