PRIMARY RULES TO
Be MADE TONIGHT
Progressive Executive Com
mittee to Meet-to Set
Primary Date Thursday.

The executive committee of the
Richmond Progressive organization
will hold a meeting tonight at the
Progressive club rooms and draw up
rules governing the primary election.
Tomorrow night the whole committee
will hold a meeting for the purpose of
ratifying these rules and to select a
date for the primary, which will proba-
bly, be held the latter part of next
month.
1t is understood that the rules will
offer no obstacles to any man who
seeks to be a candidate for any office,
providing the city committee is salts
fled that the candidates are Progress
ives and in sympathy with the princi-
pies for which the party stands.
1t is probable the rule concerning
the qualification of voters will provide
that all men who cast their ballots for
the state and national Progressive
tickets last fall will be entitled to par.
ticipate in the primary, and those vot
ers who did not support the Progress.
i've state and national nominees last
fall, but who have since declared their
intentions of becoming members of the
party will be entitlde to vote provid
ing they sign statements to the effect
that they will support the nominees OF
the primary.

Keynote of the Democratic
Party on This Question
BY the Democratic House
Leader.
HIGH PROTECTION
is NOT AMERICAN
Underwood Blamed Most of
High Cost of Living on
Payne Law-Each Member
Can Talk 5 Minutes.
(Natfonal News Association)


WASHINGTON, April 23.-Demo-
cratic leader Underwood opened the
tariff debate in the house today with
a comprehensive statement of the de-
tails of the new tariff bill and an
analysis of it's effect on the industries
of the country.
Mr. Underwood spoke extempora-
neously, now and then referring to the
tariff handbook and other times to the
ways and means committees report.
Mr.. Underwoods remarks were con-
strued as the keynote speech of the
debate, which, by agreement, is to
last five legislative days with night
sessions. Every member will be allot-
ted at least Ave minutes to speak.
Underwood declared that the COM
from profit and put American business
on a competitive basis. 1t was un-
American, he declared, to put a prem
ium on efficiency.
1.-The Payne bill had hardly been
enacted into a law before the men
who framed it began apologizing for
it, declared Mr.. Underwood. .."They
recognized themselves that it was not
satisfactory to the American people
and they know they must have an
excuse ready to defend themselves.
Underwood quoted statistics to
show that the cost of living had great
tn 70 orif
law. ..-r
81 do not contend that the increase
is entirely due to the high protective
tariff SYSTEM he continued, 'but it is
safe to say that the main reason for
the increase has grown out of taxa
tion system which aided only the large
manufacturers and the privileged
classes"
Underwood admitted that there had
been a worldwide increase in the cost
of living, but he contended it is much
larger in the United States than in
countries where the tariffs are not so
high.
Before beginning his speech Mr.. I'm
derwood obtained consent of the
house to an agreement whereby gen.
eral debate OF the bill will close at
whatever time the. house closes on
Monday The division of time was
made equal between the Republicans
and Democrats and six hours to Pro-
gressive leader Murdock to dispose Of
as he sees fit.
The finance committee of the senate
held conferences today with those
senators who are opposing putting
sugar and wool on the free list, but
the hearings were held behind closed
doors.

Committee May Decide on
Sept. "a to 27 For Hold
ing of Festival.
PLANS ARE BEING MADE
Features Will Be Industrial,
Aviation and Agriculture
al Days.

The Richmond Fall Festival will
probably be held next September from
the oath to 9th inclusive, according
to the plans of those in charge of the
project.
A meeting of the Fall Festival COM
niittee was held yesterday afternoon
and the proposition of selecting men,
bers of the advertising committee of
the Commercial Club to act as mem
bers of the executive committee for
the project was taken up. The names
of the men suggested who will act on
the committee will not be given out
until later.
"Home Coming" Day.
Plans at present are that the festi-
val shall last for period of four days
and the festivities as nearly as pos
sible shall be held in the city. There
will be no performances similar to
what were given at the Hippodrome
at the last festival. A Home Coming"
day will be feature. 1t is believed
that many persons in the various parts
of the country who were formerly resi-
dents of the city will return to take
part in the festivities of the festival.
Agriculture day will be another inn
portant day of the festival. Industrial
day will be held on the same day
of one of the other other big events
One feature that is contemplated by
the committee is an aviation day,
which, if it is can be carried to asCc-
cessful conclusion will eclipse any
thing of the kind that has ever been
seen in Indiana and in face in but few
cities of the country. The idea is to
bring some of the famous aviators OF
this country to Richmond to compete
for cash prizes for sustained flights
and for altitude. Just what can be
accomplished along this line depends
in great degree on what sort of
prizes can be offered
The campaign for raising the $4,000
necessary for promoting the project
will last only few hours after it has
been organized according to those who
have charge of the raising of funds.
The committee decided that this plan
would be advisable rather than to let
the campaign inger for several days.
A prominent place on Main street will
be selected where the campaigners
will have their headquarters.
Raise Funds in Hours.
The city will be divided into zones
and boosters will have charge of the
men who are to help raise the money.
Canvasses will be made over the city
and the entire city will be covered
in two hours. Interest has not been
lacking and the merchants of the city
are almost unanimous in indorsing the
plan.
During the last Fall Festival the ex-
penses of the project were greater
than the receipts because of inclment
weather which kept people away from
the city. The plan of raising money
is similar to that which was followed
during the G. A. r. campaign

EXPERT ADVISES
ON DUST EVIL

In response to a request for
suggestions as to methods for
abating the dust nuisance Charles
J. Bennett, state highway commits
sioner of Connecticut, forwarded
the following letter to the Pal
ladium:
Dear Sir:
l have your letter of the 18th
inst. with reference to laying dust
on city streets, and would say, the
best success the writer has had
in Hartford for dust laying sub
stance, is by the use of a product
sold in New Jersey, known as
Dustoline, non-asphaltic oil. This
is prepared by ]. D. Lamson, Of
Summit, n. J. This material can
be applied by the ordinary sprink-
ling car, and gives very good sue
cess for dust laying. 1t is some
what expensive in first cost, and
has considerable odor after ap-
plication, but is an excellent sub
stance for dust laying and does
not soil the sidewalk or track into
the house.
We have experimental exten-
sively with other oils; We have
used a light asphaltic oil applied
by pressure, which is also a good
dust laying substance.
Calcium chloride can be used in
shady streets where the sun does
not get a chance to evaporate all
the water from the surface.
Either one of the substances
named above is better than water
for dust laying in city streets.
Yours very truly,
c. J. BENNETT,
State Highway Commissioner.
