WANTS COUNTIES
TO KEEP AUTO TAX
Dr. McCulloch Favors Plan to
Keep Up State Roads.
BROOK. Ind.. Sept. 14.—1n an address
here this afternoon Dr. Carleton B. Me-,
Culloeh, Democratic gubernatorial candi
date, declared tfiat one of the most im
portant planks in the Democratic plat
form is the provision for the retention
of automobile license fees in the county
of their origina4ion.
The nominee made a strong plea for
an improved highway system and de
clared for legislative remedies that will
leave no barren acres in Indiana. *
Dr. McCulloch said in part as follows;
“This country, is facing the gravest
economic danger in the matter of food
stuffs.
“We are on the verge of becoming
an importing nation, and it is the duty
of the State of Indiana to maintain her
position by doing everything possible to
increase production.
“This must be accomplished by bring
i ing barren acres again into productivity.
! “Our young men and young women are
i tempted to the great industrial centers
Üby high wages, pleasures and what they
• deem to be greater opportunities.
“Means must be found to offset'this,
j “Let us make farm life more attrac
tive by placing the attractions and the
j stores of the counties, towns In ready
: access.
“Let us amplify to the greatest pur
pose th*4 of keeping our young people
! at home and at the same time make
* accessible markets for farm prdiTuce.
I RCES IMPROVEMENT
OF RURAL SCHOOLS. ,
“Let us bring" to the highest state of
efficiency our rural schools in order that
superior educational advantages else
where may not tempt our young people.
“The best and most practical educa
tion possible is the birthright of every
American child and both justice and
economics demands this.
“After our roads are built let us keep
| them up to the high state of repair.
“The heavy trucking now in vogue
I demands careful supervision and mainte
| nance of our highways.
“The automobile license fees now go
ing to the state should be retained by
. the counties for the upkeep of their own
j roads.
•T!Hg is one of the most important
planks in the Democratic platform and I
am in favor of its immediate application.
“Farming should not be merely a strug
gle for subsistence; it should be a prof
itable occupation.
“Then we will have no barren acres.
“To thfs end let us amplify the func
tions of the State board of agriculture.
Let us provide for a bureau of mar
kets in order that, with a complete
knowledge of market conditions, avail
able rolling stock on trnnspor'ation lines
and climatic and other conditions, the
fanner may be able to dispose of his
crops to a profitable advantage.
"Collective bargaining in the particu
lar has proved of wonderful value to
the fruit growers of the Western cosst
and those of New York State.
(ANT >ki: HARDINGS
'DOLLAR WHEAT” IDEA.
“I cannot agree with Senator Harding
when be maintains that raising dollar
wheat is a profitable occupation. I no
tice that in his speech \t the Minnesota
State fair Sept. 6, 1920, tries to dodge
the responsibility for th_ tv<sition.
“He now states that to the
normal days before the war. and that,
lie had no reference to war-time or to
the after-the-war period.
“Unfortunately the record {Joes not sus
tain him in this present position.
“His speech was delivered-on July 21,
1917, after we had been in the war three
mc-ntbs and'after the world had been at
war three years. On pages 3889 of the
Congressional Record, he says: ’The
knowing farmers of the country are buy
ing laud in Ohio at $l5O an acre for the
purpose of going Into a commercial prop
osition of raising wheat at a dollar a
bushel.’
“We have not enough farm owners.
“Opportunities for the purchase of land
and equipment on favorable terras must
be amplified.
“Long time loans at reasonable Interest
rates and gradual amortization provisions
are essential.
WANTS NEW RI I.ES
FOR STOCK HANDLING.
“Stockyard conditions are not what
they should be. • —-
“The grading of cattle, the -prices
charged for feed have been too much of
a one-sided affair In the past.
“Cold storage warehouses have also
been too often used to manipulate the
market at the same time against the pro
ducer and also against the ultimate con
sumer.
“The low price of fruit, eggs.and perish
able products to the producer and the
high price of these same articles to the
consumer has caused pecuniary loss to
the farmer and extortionate expense to
the latter.
“State regulation of these affairs Is
one of the best means of reducing the
high cost of living and at the same time
insuring a proper profit to the man who
produces.
“The McCray-Goodrich-Watson combi
nation cannot escape the responsibility
for the handicaps they have placed on
agriculture.
“The juggling of the taxes, the hori
zontal increase of valuation. t#e taking
over of automobile license fees by the
State to the deprivation of the countieß,
the concventratlon of power over bond
issues and tax levies for legitimate pur
poses—to the destruction of local home
rule —these are the things for which these
men are responsible.”

We Never Shut
Down
Live stock keeps coming to market
and we have to keep buying it and
putting it through our plants whether
conditions are good or poor.
Swift 8£ Company has no control
over the quantity of live stock shipped
to market Live-stock producers ship
their animals to the big stock-yards
markets, wherethey are sold through
commission men who represent the
shippers.
The result is that the live-stock
supply fluctuates from week to week.
We have to buy the animals, how
ever many or few there are; and they
have to be handled without delay.
We cannot hold dressed beef, lamb,
mutton, veal, fresh pork, or any other
fresh perishable meats, but have to
sell them at the prevailing market
prices within a few days. If we try
to sell at half a cent under the
prevailing prices, retailers would
naturally buy from us as long as our
supply lasted, and that supply would
be used up very quickly. On the
other hand, if we try to sell for half
a cent higher than the market prices,
the retailers, who shop around, would
buy from our competitors and we
would have our fresh meat left on
our hands. We have to sell our
products every day at prevailing
market prices whatever those prices
may be.
Half a cent up or down in the
wholesale price means the difference
between profit and loss to us.

Statement in Behalf of the Board of Direct
ors of the Citizens Gas Company, by H. H.
Hornbrook, Counsel, at Hearing on Gas Con
servation held by the Public Service Com
mission, September 10, 1920.
In response tc the request of the commission, the di
rectors of the Citizens Gas Company appeared at a pub
lice hearing Monday of last week and participated In
a discussion as to the present situation and prospects for
the gas supply to consumers during the ensuing winter.
It was there made apparent that unless some ener
getic and continuous policy were adopted it was inevita
ble that there would be a serious shortage in the supply
of gas when the heating season begins. With 60-cent
gas and exorbitant prices for coal, It was beyond ques
tion that there iwould be widespread disposition to dis
place coal with gas whenever possible. And It was sug
gested that the only solution for this economic situa
tion was one which stressed the economic aspect.
Moreover, that unless this emphasis were sufficient to
be really felt it could, not possibly be effective.
As the outcome of the discussion representatives of the
gas company compiled and submitted to the commission
tabular data as to the consumption of various consumers,
coupled with several suggestions as to a sliding scale of
rates along the line suggested by the chairman at the
public meeting. This was done in order to throw light
on and invite consideration of various angles to the plan
which had been proposed in a tentative way by the com
mission and which had been placed before the other public
meeting, not for adoption, but for discussion and criti
cism.
There has been a widespread discussion in and (jut of
the public press as to the general plan proposed. Various
criticisms have been offered. Practically all of these
were recognized and brought forth at the other public
meeting. Further reflection and discussion has served to
emphasize these objections in the minds of the board of
directors of the company.
There are, in the plan offered for consideration, in
herent difficulties, inequities. It is funda
mentally wrong to penalize the consumer who has always
been a conservator of gas. The plan suggested operated
to do this very thing.
Moreover, the apparent necessity for protecting large
and legitimate users of gas for Industrial purposes against
great Increases in the cost of gas. in and of itself called
for a discrimination against domestic consumers, which is
obnoxious to those who see the protection of the domestic
user of gas as the first requirement in any plan adopted.
Those in control of the affairs of the company have no
desire other than to render an effective pubile service
at the lowest cost While It Is true that the plan jfroposed
was for conservation purposes, yet it was frankly stated
at the other meeting that large additions to the company’s
plant must be made In the next t*o years to develop a
moro effective service, and that it was highly important
that this be not overlooked and means provided therefor;
that if the plan proposed produced additional revenues,
these should be set aside to provide additional equipment
and needed extensions without capitalizing the same
against the public.
And it must not for a moment be overlooked that
these additional facilities must be provided in the aear
future. The temporary ability of the company to furnish
gas service at 60 cents, due to the present good market
for coke and by-products, will never furnish an adequate
basis for financing the betterments which must be pro
vided in the next two years—and the time will come In
the early future when the people of this community must
pay a price for gas somewhat commensurate with what
they are paying for their other dally necessities.
This Is not a matter of conslderation today, but it would
be folly not to recognize the fact that if the gas situation
In this community Is to be permanently met in a satis
factory manner means to obtain required additions must
be provided. And the public should not be misled as to
the real situation.
However, the question before us today is the proposed
plan ror conserving gas by penalizing a majority of con
sumers, Irrespective of their conduct or their cooperative
efforts to relieve the situation.
On behalf of the directors of the company it is sub
mitted that the plan carries with it such a lack of equity
that It can not command the public support and, therefore,
we cannot but object to it and ask that it be not adopted.
Conservation is greatly needed. Unless practiced by
the large body of consumers, we will surely have periods
of acute distress. However, unless can be
devised which will In fact* be an appeal CS the general
puDllc as fair and equitable, It will be better t<> go through
the winter as we did a year ago, giving the best service
possible, advising the public from time to time as to the
facts, cutting off wilful offended, and the sup
ply when it becomes necessary.
In the near future the company should make its plans
for a general enlargement of Its equipment and seek such
rate for gas (Its only product not controlled by the law
of competition), as will enable it to finance the cost
of such enlargements. The entire equity in the company’s
property belongs to this community, and nothing can be
done, if honest and wise management prevail which will
not be in the public interest. —Advertisement.
