Current Initiation Stories
Are Considered "Bad
Business" at Present.
BY PAUL MALLON.

A SPOKESMAN for p re S d e n
n Roosevelt buzZed in the ears OF
II newsmen a few days ago that
1 \ these current imitation stories
are bad business
He cautioned the molders Of public
opinion against crawling out on limb
with predictions. He did everything
but say fatty that Mr.. Roosevelt was
not going to initiate.
II did not take long for Wall street
to hear about that. A representa-
tire OF a large Ne,U York bank tele-
phoned the tidingS to the bank
president The banker replied:
Tell Mr.. Roosevelt we went out on
the limb with him when he said he
would restore commodity prices and We
are going TO stay out on the limb with
him until he says something different"
Next day the market started going
up a little on the expectation Of inf1a-
ton.

his approach to a prospect. His first
step in calling on housewife was 10
offer to clean a living room carpet or
rug free of charge. Before starting, he
pointed out that the vacuum cleaner
bag was absolutely empty of any dust
or dirt. He then started to clean the
rug, pointing out as he worked, the
various features of the cleaner. When
he finished he removed the bag full OF
dirt or dust and proceeded to empty it
directly on one corner of the rug. This
action usually brought an immediate
offer from the housewife of newspaper
or container to catch the dust, which
he declined, assuring her that he would
not leave until he had completely
cleaned up the pile of dust.
His next step was to walk over to the
other end of the rug and ask the house
wife to take the broom she had been
using and sweep the pile of dust over
to where he stood. Inevitably over half
of it disappeared again into the rug.
This eye demonstration of how a
vacuum cleaner removed dirt closed
more sales than any former method.

WEDNESDAY. NOV. n. 1893.


HOUSEHOLDERS and manufacturers of
indianapolis are to have cheap natural
gas II 1t can be purchased at reasonable
price. This is fundamental part of the
citys plan for taking over the Citizens Gas
Company
The present gas plant should not be aban-
doned even though natural gas comes into
the community. If natural gas should give
out the consumers should be able to fall back
on the manufactured product. Also the pres
ence Of the plant in actual operation could
serve as threat to keep prices low on natural
gas.
Under the plan for municipal ownership
the city would obgate itself to pay at least
s5O0OOO annually for seventy -seven years for
the lease which the Citizens Gas Company
has on the equipment and mains of the old
Indianapolis Gas Company.
Fears have been expressed that in seventy
seven years gas may become as obsolete as
whale oil and the city would find itself sad
died with an expense running into millions
Of dollars for which it would receive no return.
These fears are apparently groundless If
gas became obsolete the city could default on
It's lease and invite the owners of the Indian
spohs Gas Company to take over their prop
erty which would then be as useless to them
as it would be to the city.
There is only one serious flaw in the citys
whole plan. That is the secrecy which has
been thrown around the true ownership of the
Citizens Gas Company. Who are the chief
stockholders? How much did they pay for
their stock? When and under what circum-
stances did they acquire it?
The taxpayers have right to know with
whom they are doing business when they pur-
chase the gas company

GASOLINE RACKETS

~ ASOLINE tax evasions and frauds are
- becoming so scandalous that officials of
nine eastern states are meeting in New York
on Nov. 81 to figure out way to curb losses.
Through smuggling, bootlegging, adulterstion
and other swindles the states and Federal
government are losing an estimated
$500, 900 year m taxes.
Leaks threaten to become worse as prohbi
ton repeal drives lawless elements into new
fields and as the governments experiment in
price-fixing raises gasoline prices to the con-
Sumers.
The forty-nine varieties of gasoline taxes
invite chicanery. Not only are these easy
come sales taxes generally too high. They
vary between states. Florida and Tennessee
levy 7-cent-s gallon tax. In some southern
states localities have joined the line and have
run the levy up to as high as 10 cents. In
fifty cities the average gasoline price is 14.33
cents, the average tax 36 cents. Out o.
S513, OO0O 900 collected by the states in gas taxes
more than $75OGO0OO is applied to relief and
uses other than road upkeep.
While prices were sliding, motorists did not
notice the tax Now that prices are on the
way up, they may become real burden and
be reflected in lower sales The federal gov
eminent will reduce its l u cent tax by Il cent
when prohibition repeal goes into effect. 1t is
safe to say few states will reduce theirs
High and chaotic gas taxes should be
remedied Whether or not the federal govern
ment should collect all state taxes at the re-
fineries. as urged in the Byrd bill, some CO.
ordinated and united action should be worked
out. We are riding willing horse to death
just as high liquor taxes will breed lawlessness
and evasions will high gas taxes defeat
their end.

M. E.Tracy Says:

1T is getting so that Monday papers look like
buckets of blood. This is due, not only to the
large number of accidents which usually occur
Saturday and Sunday, but to the lack of other
news.
AS matter of fact comparatively few acct
dents or crimes get into any one paper or any
one local group of papers. The American people
have not yet become conscious of the awful toll
which their new system of traffic and new
system of rackets exacting. If they were
conscious of it, they would be doing more to
correct it,
AS nation we profess to be interested deeply
in the preservation of life and health We sup
port all kinds of drives to cure this or that
malady. Just now, we are all excited over the
possibility of cure for cancer and thrilled by
the idea than an honeSt-to-God anti-tubercu-
losis germ may have been discovered.
In strange contrast to this sympathetic atti-
ttlde is our comparative indifference to the null
titude of individuals, half of them women and
children, killed on our highways every year. or
the still greater multitude exposed to less serious
accidents.
Since the war automobiles have killed
five or six times as many people as lost their
lives in the war. The same proportion holds
good with regard to injuries.
WE look upon the war as a rather costly
w piece of business for this country but we
accept the automobile with complacency
1t goes without saying that a certain per-
centage of deaths and injuries caused by the
auto is unavoidable, but that is true of every i'll
to which flesh is heir. the big point being that
we are making very little effort to reduce traffic
fatalities IN comparison to what we are doing in
other lines.
Delight over speed appears to have dulled
our realization of what it costs. We find it very
easy to forgive negligence or recklessness which
results in 10000 deaths each year and 100000
injuries. We are content with the fact that
insurance companies pay something to overcome
the loss, and we look for the day when every car
owner will be compelled to take out policy. so
that if mother or Johnny is killed. we can collect
IS, 600 or $4,000 or if we break a leg, we won't
have to worry about the hospital bill
NTEIlL, compulsory insurance would do that
w much in cases of tuberculosis diabetes or
fractured limbs but we refuse to accept it as
the best answer with regard to them and we
ought to refuse to accept it as the best answer
with regard to traffic accidents
Insurance Is all right, but it has its limi-
tations. 1t simply can not take the place of
an affectionate father or a promising child of
whom too many have been crushed to death
under joy-riding wheels.
The problem is one of public rather than
individual conscience. There is no man or
woman who starts out in an auto with the idea
of killing or injuring fellow being but when
it comes to mass psychology or crowd interest
we run up against frame of mind which
seems utterly inexplicable and utterly at vari-
ance with the prevailing attitude toward life,
health and safety.

ELECTRIFIED AMERICA

WE believe David Lilienthal' director
w of the Tennessee Valley Authority, told
group of lawyers in Atlanta, that with no
table exceptions the rates for electricity
throughout the United States constitute
barrier between the people and the great re-
source of electricity"
This is an agent of the new deal talking,
man who is setting up in the Tennessee Valley
the yardstick by which may be measured
power rates everywhere.
1t is important that he should make such
a statement; but more important is the fact
that the Roosevelt administration has as one
of its aims an electrified America
There are two chief ways of attaining this
goal. One is to make electric power available
to more people by making it cheaper. Power
companies can do this by themselves, or they
can wait to be forced into lowering rates when
people learn more about the cheap rates that
are being charged by IVA to towns and bust
nesses in the Tennessee Valley Another way
is to cheaper the costs of distribution to these
people of the appliances which electricity
operates.
This is the power age But unless these
things are accomplished, the general use of
electricity to Tighten the burden of human
labor and more evenly distribute the comforts
of life will be hindered.
This program can not of course be carried
out by the government alone. First it must
have the cooperation of the people them
selves; it must also have the cooperation of
private power companies. This latter can be
voluntary or forced.
When these three forces are working to-
gether-and the government through IVA al
ready has offered to cooperate with the power
companies-an electrified America" will be-
come reality.

POLITICS BARRED

TINE vast civil works program recently put
forward by the administration, under
which it is planned to put 100000 men to
work before Christmas, is the most ambi-
tious program of its kind ever attempted by
any government; and 1t is encouraging to
note that President Roosevelt has declared
fatty that politics must have nothing at all
to do with the ALLEGATION of jobs.
Rightly handled, this program can be of
inestimable value. BY the same token, it
could become horrible thing if party poll
tics was allowed to be entangled with it.
The slightest suggestion that the directors
of the project were trying to gain political
advantage from it would be fatal. The adj
ministrstion does we'll to announce unequiv-
ocally that politics is out.

SPRAGUE AND ROOSEVELT

A N exaggerated importance is being given
the resignation of DR.. o. M w. Sprague,
ono Of the administrations financial advisers,
Advisers come and go, but the government
goes on.
We say this without any desire to laugh
of the growing split in the administration and
in the country over the issue OF imitation. 1t
can not be ignored; it is too big.
But before taking sides as between the
Sprague anti-infation policy and the Roose-
welt relation policy it is we'll to remember that
the professor sees the issue only as technical
monetary question, while the President must
work out this very difficult problem in relation
10 the whole complicated recovery program.
The Roosevelt monetary moves can not be
judged adequately either in classroom
vacuum or through the Wall Street lens of
prejudice.
The Presidents purpose is simple enough
He is trying to manage money to establish
stable purchasing power, an honest dollar
That is no crime, any more than the orthodox
and customary effort of government to man.
age credit Managed credit proved inadequate
during the crisis. Now the President is taking
the next step.
Will the Presidents particular gold-trading
method produce the desired results? Nobody
knows. 1t is an experiment--an experiment
forced by events All that We know positively
is that the old monetary system broke down
We must seek another way out. We dare not
sit holding our hands chanting hymns to gold
That was what the Hoover administration did
and with dire results.
For man with a scientific mind. DIR.
Spragues letter sounds rather dogmatic. 1t
would have been more convincing If it had
been a tri1e less cockSure. After all, DIR.
Sprague has been out of sympathy with the
Roosevelt policy since last July-according to
his own letter-snd the end of the world has
not come yet. Perhaps it is not as near as the
professor fears
Even so, we are glad that DR.. Sprague is
going to carry this dispute to the country
openly. Here is an honest difference of opinion
on an exceedingly vital policy. Every one is
involved in what happens to the dollar. There
has been too much secrecy about the matter,
too much whispering too many rumors, too
much fighting in the dark.
If the issue can be aired thoroughly be-
tween now ana January, perhaps congress,
which is impatient for action will act more
intelligently when it meets.
DR.. Sprague says he has reached the con-
clusion that there is no defense from a drift
into unreStHained imitation other than an
aroused and organized public opinion There
is a danger of unrestrained imitation The
danger comes however, not from the Presi-
dent, but from congress.
Nothing the President has said or done
justihes the belief that he plans or desires
unrestrained imitation. On the contrary, his
entire effort is to control imitation. Whether
he will succeed in the future will depend chief
" upon congress and upon public opinion, but
that he has controlled imitation to date is
fact which Dr. Sprsgue nor no other critic
can deny.

per cent of the loss of teeth that

Servation indicates. Teeth could be

competent dentists aver.
Diseases of the gums come on in
sidiously. They are likely to pro-
gress to an advanced stage before
the person affected realizes that
anything is seriously wrong.
The ordinary condition Of the
gums surrounding the teeth is one
of firmness, with good pink col

marked by slight reddening or
thickening of the margins of the
gums next to the teeth.
In this condition the gums bleed

the toothbrush. Moreover, the color
change from pink to bluish-red.
