RALSTON GIVES
OUTLINE OF HIS
I VIEW OF OFFICE
Would Make Job of Being
Mayor One of Service
and Efficiency.
PROMISES TO MAKE GOOD
Sensible reduction of taxes with in
creased efficiency in government, con
tinuation of track elevation and subway
crossings, rehabilitation of the city mar
ket, fair treatment of both the public
and companies in public utility matters,
divorce of politics from the fire and
police departments and law and order
were promised by Boyd M. Kalston,
candidate for the Democratic nomination
for mayor in his keynote speech at Rural
etreet and Roosevelt avenue last night.
f Declaring that governmental con
ditions are far from satisfactory Mr.
Ralston pledged his "sacred honor to
serve the people In an honest and
efficient way.” if nominated and elected.
PLANS TO lOtVER
TAXATION* KATE.
“The question of taxation is one of
the most perplexing questions in gov
ernment,” said Mr. Ralston. "Next to
liberty and peace it lies closest to the
citizen's welfare and must be considered
verv step taken In government. I
■hall, therefore, if I become mayor, lower
expenses where consistent with public
welfare and thus cause a lower taxation
rate.
“To say that I will keep expenses
down so low that there will not be a
penny taken in taxes from the .people
unnecessarily, or that there will Jpn be
a penny expended for which the public
will not get full benefit is to indulge in
idle talk. No official has ever been
able to give the people that sort of an
administration.
“In justice to himself and to the pub
lic. too, an official should not promise
more than to make a good faith effort
to keep the expenses at the minimum,
having in mind always the public's le
gitimate demands. These legitimate de
mands wiil embrace general improve
ments, where they mean unmistakable
benefits in the city at large. My ad
ministration will move forward, not
backward.
TRACK ELEVATION
SLADE PROMINENT.
“There should be track elevation and
Subway crossings, and I -shall, if made
mavor. pusti work of this character on
business lines, that the people may. with
out unnecessary delay, enjoy the ad
vantages of improvements of this char
acter.
“The Indianapolis city market long has
been in a most unsatisfactory condition.
Its doors are used by almost every house
holder in the city. It should be the city's
emporium for the table's demand. I
■hall see to it that ail practical im
provements shall be made in it and all
rents obtained from stands shall be us I
for that purpose and shall not he di
verted for other purposes.
"In my effort to work out a plan for
better market advantages 1 would favor
a woman as an assistant to the market
masier. And I would consult with the
women of Indianapolis on this subject
more than I would with the men. As I
would prefer the judgment of the woman
to that of the man on the affairs of the
kitchen end the home, likewise would ~7
prefer her judgment to his on the sort of
market facilities the people should have.
NEED OF BETTER
CAR SERVICE.
“The people of Indianapolis are vitally
interested in having better transportation
service, but in seeking this for them one
regard should be had for the additional
outlay of money it would l>e necessary
to make to provide it.
“Street car and traction companies are
enjoying the use of the city's streets
have. valuable franchises grant?! by the
public and they have no right to expect
that the people will be satisfied for Item
to continue to use the city's highways
un'ess the people's needs of improved
transportation are approximately met. 1
would endeavor to give the people better
transportation conditions and 1 am con
fident I could do so. by working out a
plan, so far as I could control it, that
would neither be unjust to these com
panies nor neglectful of the people's
rights.
"Gas, water and all city utilities should
be handled sirictly in accordance with
the law regulating the same. Gas and
water mains must be extended wherever
, requirement- demand them in conformity
with the. franchises regulating them.
“I would Insist that gas at the char
ter rate and of the quality as stipulated
must be delivered to the consumer, but
the rights of the utilities and hose of
the citizens would alike be held sacred
by my administration and no special
privilege that is detrimental to the peo
ple's Interest would lie allowed to any
utility.
FOR EFFICIENCY
IN DEPARTMENT*.
“I would keep the lire and police de
partment out of politics, or politics out
of them. There is no doubt but taut both
can be improved. It would be my pur-

pose to put them up to 100 per cent
efficiency, and when this is done the
people will enjoy lower rates of insur
ance and a greater safety from the law
less elements.
“I would work to bring about hearty
cooperation between the mayor's office,
police court and city council in the dis
charge of their respective functions and
thereby encourage a greater respect for
each of these departments on the part
of the people.
"Women at last have become citizens
in this country, a right—and I choose to
call it such—too long denied them. Being
citizens they are now charged with re
sponsibilities as such, and I am confident
th.re will be no disposition on their part
to shirk their duties. 1 shall expect
them, should I become mayor, to advise
with me freely touching the welfare of
Indianapolis aiid I would want to feel at
liberty to call upon them to perform pub
lic service.
"Their stand for honest and efficient
government would add strength to any
man in office who had their support and
I Fhould regard their good offices as in
dispensible on many of the boards of
the city.
“I shall at a later date make a state
ment regarding parks, the garbage and
ash questions, city hospital, playgrounds,
swimming pools and public bath houses
and city planning.
“I do not subscribe to the statement
that the city should be treated as sec!
tional. but if it is considered by some
that the city has two sections. I shall
see to it that members appointed to serve
on the boards of the city shall not ail
be from one section.
LATV AND
ORDER.
“No municipality can be groat and
good unless law and order prevail. The
law must be obeyed; order must be main
tained; our homes and citizens must be
protected.
"The future prosperity and happiness
of our own beautiful city depends much
upon its city government. If elected to
the high office of mayor ,o which I
aspire, I pledge my sacred honor to serve
the people in an honest and efficient way
and I will ask the cooperation of all of
the people regardless of creed or poli
tics ns well as the public press to assist
me in making my administration olio of
the best and cleanest the city has ever
enjoyed.
To be good is well,
i To do good is better,
\ To make good is best.”
“I propose to make good, If made
I mayor.

FARMERS FRET
TARIFF DELAY
Fear Emergency Measure Is
Already Undermined.
WASHINGTON, Aj?rll 21.—Farmers are
growing fretful at emergency tariff bill
delays, agricultural representatives here
declnred today.
Fear was expressed that delays have
already undermined the good the bill
was expected to do them.
Opponents of the measure were laugh
ing in their sleeves at its slow sledding
and saying that the exchange adjustment
and anti-dumping features, which have
tied it up Were tacked on purposely as
brakes to halt the measure.
Protests made to Penrose, chairman of
the Senate Finance Committee, caused
him to declare that the bill will be report
ed “Saturday or Monday.” He admitted,
however, that there is “so much uncer
tainty” over the anti-dumping and Amer
ican valuations that the Senate will al
most certainly amend these features.
Experts to Testify
About Coke Values
The supplemental hearing on the
petition of the Citizens Gas Company for
a rate of 90 cents for each 1,000 feet of
gas will be held before the public
service commission Tuesday instead of
Monday as previously announced. Three
expert witnesses on coke ,vaUxes will
testify before the commission.
The principal contention concerning
the gas petition is over the wide range
of prices at which the company valued
its coke.

BURGLAR WORKS

t
Detectives are making a wide search
for the north side burglar who has been
operating for a week and whose bold
ness rivals that of any thief who has
worked in this city In years. So bold Is
the burglar that he uses an automobile to
visit the homes of his victims. He opens
the door with a key or if the lock does
not yield to his key he resorts to a
“jimmy.”
The man is well dressed and has been
seen by a number of persons.

and went to investigate. A well dressed
