Although the four-wheel

their mounts in shape before

RATE FIGHT IS
LOST BY CITY
WATER FIRM
Property Valuation Found
Too High by Master
in Chancery.

Efforts of the indianapolis Water
Company to obtain a higher rate
making valuation of its property
will be frustrated if federal court
approval is given recommendations
of Albert Ward, special master in
chancery, submitted to federal
court late yesterday.
In his report, Mr. Ward held not
only that the $22,5O0,OOO valuation
figure complained of by the COM
pany as confscatory of its property,
was not conf1scatory, but that the
true valuation is only $20,282,1 43.
The water company, in hearings
conducted over a period of several
months last year before Mr.. Ward,
contended its rates should be based
on an 8 per cent return on a valua-
ton of more than $28,000,000," in
stead of a 6 per cent return on
2,500,00O as fixed by the commits
sion.
Returns Held Adequate
Mr.. Ward held that per cent is
fair return, adding that on the
basis of the present rates and valu-
alton, the company is earning
return of 6.38 per cent.
The report of Mr.. Ward will be
left on file twenty days for the file
ing of exceptions, before it is con-
sidered by a three Judge federal
court composed Of Judges Robert c.
BaltzeI, Thomas w. Slick and
Evan A. Evans. Appeal from the
findings may be made to the United
States supreme court.
The master in chancery recon-
mended that no injunctions be
granted the company, that the COM
pany's complaint be dismissed for
want of equity, and the public serv-
ice commission and the city of In
dianapolis, the defendants, recover
the costs of the case.
Two Year Battle
The company's complaint followed
battle of two years which began
when the city and group of con-
sumers asked the commission to
order a rate reduction.
The group reached a compromise
agreement, reducing the minimum
domestic rate from $3.50 to $108
month, and lowering the city's by
drant rental.
However, a group of larger users of
water, whose rates had been in
creased by the agreement, reopened
the case, and the commission issued
a new order, reducing rates of large
but increasing the domes-
tic minimum rate to the present
Company's Claims Pared
Eight years ago, valution of the
company was fixed by the supreme
court at $19,000,OOO, and it was
granted return of 7 per cent.
In arriving at his reduced valua-
ton figure, Mr.. Ward pared the
companys claim of 100000 for
water right along White river, near
NOblesVille, and the OaklandOn dam
site to $685. sos. Going value was
reduced from the cornpany's figure
of $2,69750O, to S1,564,24 Numer-
Gus other drastic reductions were
made in valuations claimed by the
company.
That the company engineers failed
to give proper consideration to de-
clining prices in 1882, in pricing in
ventory of the property, was assert
ed in the report.

The mayor is not a candl-
date. but his friends say that
such is his devotion to the
party that he might be pre-
vailed upon to take the noml-
nation. if bitterness over a
senatorial fight threatens a
more serious rupture than
now exists.
It is no secret that his nomination
would be very pleasing to senator
Frederick Van Mugs, the leader Oh
the party in the state. and ne WouIu
have a strong nucleus OF votes from
the big Marion county delegation
This latter fact-that he is from
Marion county-prObably IS the one
hio objection to Mayor sullivan
o,,eervers say. because the remain
der of the state feels Just a niue
hit resentful about anything ina
looks like hogging of the pohUlcai
spotlight by the capital
McCulloch Is Available
This argument also is voiced
oooinst DR.. Carleton B. McCulloch'
retiring Democratic state chairman
Or McCulloch. like Mayor sullivan
isn.t after the nomination. but MS
friends feel that he. too. might be
persuaded "for the good OF the
party" -
And this is about all that can be
said against two of the Marion
county possibilities.
third Marion county potential
itv is Louis Ludlow, Twelfth district
conservative and renominated for
that post. Ludlow has earned the
annellation of the errand boy OF
congress-" and it is conceded he has
a large personal following.
However. a strong bill Of partlcu-
lars can be filed against the candl-
dacv Of Mr.. Ludlow, who is not an
nollnced. but whose name is almost
sure to 60 before the convention.
ludlow Desertion Cited
Mr. Ludlow is charged with not
having stood behind the Roosevelt
proeram. and if the party wins IN
November it is pretty well agreed
that the victory will be tribute
to the Roosevelt popularity and
tho demand for election of con-
pressmen and senators who have
supported him.
Mr.. Ludlow'S vote to override the
Presidents bonus bill veto is being
used against him and it is recalled
that he chung to his bone dry policy
long after it could not help but be
obvious there was a general ana
overwhelming demand for repeal.
There Is a growing feeling that
neither r. Earl Peters, former
Democratic state chairman, and
Sherman Minton. the adminiStra-
ton backed candidate. has as much
strength as credited to them.
Stump a Possibility
However. it is agreed they will go
into the convention the two leading
candidates. and if neither can win
in the early ballots. it will be neces-
sary to look to some less touted
candidate to develop strength to
swing the convention.
In this connection. the report
persists that if Mr.. Peters finds he
can not win. he will release his
delegates TO Albert Stump, who
withdrew from consideration some
time ago 10 stand for Mr. Peters.
If Mr. Minton, too. can not win,
il IS predicted the administration
strength Will be put behind Harvey

Of the first candidates in the race
and some time ago was given the

UNPRoFITABEE WARS

After the Mexican war, joke went all around
to the effect that the cause of the war was Texas
and the result of the was taxes" The Mexl-
can war was about the only war Uncle Sam ever
engaged in which did him any good. Every war
brings taxes, regardless of whether it is won or
lost The Mexican war increased Uncle Sans hold
ngs by vast cession of territory which has proved
to be one of the richest sections of the United
States. This of course includes Hollywood-f you
count that as American.
Sam quarreled for years with Mexico before the
whole matter was settled, and finally he paid Mex
leo $1O,O0OOOO as hush money for what he took.
Now just single square in Los Angeles is worth
more than that. So it was good dicker in land
though not quite so good as when that smart old
Dutchman, Pete Minuit, bought the whole island
of Manhattan for $4,000 worth of 10-cent store
trinkets. Now, the poor goofy New Workers will
pay much as $4,000 to sit at a table in some
night club and hear the crooners Groom and the
azzers jazz and the Comedians" get off the smut
tiest jokes they can rake up
Another splendid deal in real estate that this
country has to its credit was when Jefferson sus-
pended the Constitution, paid personal visit to
Napoleon and bought the entire Louisiana Purchase
for $3,O0O,OO0. AS Nappy himself said to Jeffer-
son at the time of closing the DEAL you are get
ting an empire for song"--and it wasn't jazz
at that Nappy would never have sold his country
for so little if he had not been in desperate need
of cash to carry on his wars. So it was American
ready money that also supplied Nappy with the
"sinews of war" as the old Romans called it.
The special historic chart which we published
[ in the Pathfinder of January g. 1884, shows that
Just after the Louisiana Purchase was made there
was mild boom in business, but this was followed
lby mild depression, The same thing happened
after the War with Mexico. The War with Spain
had little effect on the business index but, like
the other wars, it did increase the taxes. Sam
really lost more than he gained by that Wharf.-The

PROHIBITION COMING BACK?

Don't laugh when the W.C.T.U. says prohibition
will be back in five years. There's more than .
little common sense in the prediction.
We repealed prohibition because we believed
we could control liquor better if it was made ant
sold legally, because were tired of the snoop
cry, the graft, and the brutality of prohibition en-
forcement officers.
In the state initiative repeating the bone dry
law is specific provision that the saloon shall not
come back, and that liquor will not be sold to mi
nors Well, what has happened? Neither the po-
lice nor the sherifs men are even slightly inter
ested in enforcing the existing laws. Saloons run
wids open, and liquor is sold to minors.
The liquor fellows killing the goose that lays
the golden egg. If they continue they are now
operating and if no attempt is made to enforce
the liberal laws now the books, it is a mighty
good bet that prohibition will come back with a
vengeance maybe in five years.-Seattle Star.

of the legislative gospel he has been preaching
down in Raleigh since he has been representa-
tive in the legislature from this county.
Mr.. Garibaldi, however, fails to bring up with
him bill of particulars and tell us exactly what
public services can be dispensed with
Of course, his way would effectually get the
finances of the state into better balance and solve
many of its puzzling fiscal policies, but when one
begins to cast about for some benefits and func-
tions of government both state and local. that can
be pitched out the difficulty becomes aggravatlng'
And the people of North Carolina have mani
tested no disposition to eliminate costly services
of their governments. In fact while they max talk
glibly of the necessity of cutting out some OF
these functions, when they get down to looking at
the matter straight in the face, it becomes quite
different proposition.
What shall be cut out? Schools or roads or IN
stitutional support educational and charitable?
Where can the elimination begin and at what
point would it be stopped?
These questions begin to pound in upon us when
we trv to follow the logic of Mr.. Garibaldi.
Public spending is always easy to institute, but
always exceedingly difficult to stop.-Charotta

things are different now.
The person who is striving for
sound governmental conditions,
who is fighting corruption, the
spoilsm.n and all others who
would use political POSITION and
power to misuse and abuse the
public, need not expect any I'M
mediate personal financial gain
from the conflict. The only way
he should enter the battle is from
the standpoint of the soldier,-to
protect his home and country.
1t is probably safe to say that
during the past two or three
wears, we Americans have lost
more of our homes and other pos
sessions through political spells,
men than we would have lost had
be been ovverun by the Germans
in 1917. Our political enemies
right here in our midst have loot
ed us and pillaged us to a far
greater extent than would have
been done by an intelligent CON
ouering enemy nation. For IN
stance: A city l know of $4,000
people, has as a result of its po-
litical enemies and grafters, a
debit of 39,OOO,00O. No conquer
