While the present government had taken a stand that the world situation was still delicate and necessitated 9 large army, socialist members led by Deputy Marchant opposed the budget on the theory that the league of nations would end the necessity for large armaments.

HOUSE ELIMINATES
ANTI-STRIKE PROVISIONS
OF RAILROAD BILL

Evidently influenced by the covet
threats of general strike, the House
of Representatives, by a vote Of 161
to 1OS, adopted the Anderson amend
ment to the section of the Railroad
Regulation bill dealing with the set
tlement of labor disputes, thereby
eliminating the proposed anti-strike
provisions of the bill and yielding
completely to the demands of the
fourteen railroad unions and brother
hoods who have been Offering bit
ter opposition to the anti-strike legis-
lation of any kind.
Three plans were before the
House. One was the Webster amend
ment declaring railroad strikes lille
gal; another attempted strike-and-
lockout prevention by providing for
the assessment of damages against
railroads for lockouts and aginst lab
or unions for non-performance of
contracts, and third plan, which was
favored by labor unions and which
the House adopted, which leaves the
matter practically as heretofore.

RUSSIAN BOLSHEVIKS
CONDUCT AMERICAN
PROPAGANDA VIA MEXICO

The recent disclosure by the State
Department at Washington of the
fact that there have been large ship
ments of arms and ammunitions into
Mexico from Europe, was followed
by the further disclosure that the
Bolshevist agitators from Russia, who
are conducting a propaganda in this
country, operate through Mexico. 1t
is stated that the immigration service
and the Department of Justice are
both concerned with the influx into
this country of Russian radicals and
other Red Agitators over the Mexican
border. Many radicals have, it ap-
pears, been attracted to Mexico by
the "ultra-modern" provisions in the
new Constitution.

ASK YOUR BANKER

A successful business man never
hcstates to call on his banker for ad-
vice.
His banker might hesitate to advise
the purchase of an automobile be-
cause it is a source of expense; but
when you mention your hauling needs
and the necessity for truck, you at
once enlist bankers interest.
The earnings from a good truck
will soon pay the original cost of the
truSk.
Your banker does not think of
truck buying as an expense. He knows
that it is an industrial economy-an
asset in your business which you will
quickly recognize in your bank ac-
count.
Every progressive bank in the
State is glad to lend money to any
substantial farmer or business man to
buy a truck.
Your banker will want to know,
however, whot sort of a truck you in
tend to buy, what record it has, the
kind of service behind it, and the fl
nancial responsibility of the manu-
facturers
The splendid performance of In
diana Trucks running in all other
sections of the State is not equalled
by any other truck. 1t is built at
Marion, Ind, by the Indiana Truck
Corporation, a concern which enjoys
the highest possible financial rating.
The State distributor is the Carolina
Motor Company, of Statesville, N.
c.. a firm that is well known in
Cruck circles, and one not unknown to
your banker.
With such evidence Of responsibility
behind it, the Indiana Farm Truck is
commanding very favorable attention
among the farmers of this country.
Every Indiana Farm Truck carries
the Porta Power Units which turns it
into portable power plant. 1t makes
use of evrey idle second of the truck
and makes the truck more than ever
real investment.

FRENCH CONDEMN AMERICAN
SENATE'S TREATY ACTION

An article in La Presse de Paris,
the joint paper, now being published
in Paris by all the newspapers ex-
ccpt the Socialist on account of the
printers strike, criticizes the conduct
of the American Senate in connec-
ton with the Treaty of Peace. The
article says in part:
at is not time now for us to look
for causes; we must look at facts.
The Peace Treaty before the Ameri-
can Senate appears today completely
dcadlocked. We and the rest of the
world have too much at stake on
American ratification not to address
last appeal to our American friends
before the final vote.
France and Europe have had conf
dence that America would accept in
the hour of peace her responsibilities
growing out of the war. We never
distinguished between American
political parties. We regarded the
President of the United tSates as the
messenger of America and as the
holder of mandate until he had been
recalled; he remained before all the
diplomats of the world as the true
representative of his country. The
treaty, be it good or bad, was con-
structed always in concert with-of-
4 IL II IL
resentative of the United States;
hence the moral responsibility of
Amereca."

THREE FEDERAL JUDGES
UPHOLD PROHIBITION LAW

Federal Judges Learned Hand and
John c. Knox, both Of New York, and
Federal Judge, John G. Rose, of
Maryland, sitting in New York, all
three handed down decisions declar-
ing that the Volstead act is consti-
tdtional and that Congress has the
power to enact legislation forbidding
the sale of liquor. In his decision
Federal Judge Hand unheld the vail
dity of the Volstead Enforcement act
from bond. Judge Hand refused al
so to enjoin the officials from enforc-
ing penalties under the national pro-
hibition act, and declared that "the
wartime prohibition act remains a
valid exercise. of the Congressional
power"
