FAIRBANKS RETURNS TO

Former Vice President Says New ADJ
minstration Has Begun with
Best Outlook

INDIANAPOLIS, March AFTER
twelve years of public life former Vice
President Fairbanks returned to his
home here today from Washington.
Mr. and Mrs. Fairbanks received many
friends at their home.
Concerning the new administration
MIR. Fairbanks said:
"The new administration starts with
every assurance of success. The pres
ident was wise in calling congress in
extra session at the earliest practicable
date, so that tariff revision might be
effected speedily.
'It is quite natural that there should
be more or less hesitancy in the bust
ness world until the uncertainty as to
what will be done with the various
schedules is definitely put to rest.
when revision is accomplished, If II
is done on proper lines. it will tend to
give stability to industry and trade and
will result in the improvement of bust
ness conditions. Such improvement
probably will be gradual, yet it will be
certain"
MI. Fairbanks, after a few months
vacation, will resume the practice OF
law in Indianapolis.
