HITS ROAD WASTE
OF STATE MONEY
McCulIOch Pledges Economy
in Highway Program.

LAGRANGE, Ind. Sept. 25-In an adj
dress here this afternoon DR.. Carleton
B. McCulloch, Democratic nominee for
Governor, charged that the Goodrich ad
ministration has wasted nearly three
quarters Of a million dollars in letting
contracts for 1873 miles of highways.
The candidate pledged himself to a
good roads policy based on careful
economy, and declared that If elected he
would see that politics would be di-
vorced from the highway commission.
II charge that the State Highway Com
mission, by the loose conduct of its
business methods has and will waste
more than three quarters Of a million dol
lars in caEying out its program of
paving 1873 miles of roads," he said. This
waste is evident when you compare the
average cost per mile Of a State built
highway with hard surfaced roads con-
structed in Marion County.
marion County, in 1919, built one
course cement highway twenty feet wide
with steel reinforcements at an average
cost Of paving alone of S24611.
an the same period the State Highway
Commission contracted for eighteen-foot
concrete roads, without reinforcements,
at a cost Of 500. POI a mile.
'sBy actual comparison the figures
show that had the two units been build
ing similar roads the State would have
paid S6,191 a mile more than the county
paid.
"If this loss is continued on the en-
tire 1873 miles Of roads the waste to the
State viii be SS22, 903.
The State should at least be able to
award contracts for inferior roads as
cheaply as Marion County does for bet
ter ones"

WOMAN SPEAKER
RAPS G. O. p. IDEAS
Return to Power Is Backward
Step, She Declares.

The Republican party was called
patty of ''reactionistsy and mon progress
sives' by Miss Hazel Fesler, in a talk to
the Democratic women of Warren Tow
ship, at the home of Mrs. George Roberts,
341 Downey avenue, yesterday afternoon.
IF the Republican party goes into
power the first of the year." said Miss
Fesler, "the National Government Of the
United States Just steps back to the place
it was eight years ago"
She declared that the Republican party
not only is conservative, but is one in
which there is no progressive element
The politicians who are circulating the
cry that the Government should change
hands for the good of the country
were ridiouled by the speaker, who said
that Republicans did not seem inclined TO
relinquish their hold on the nations
reins after sixteen-years of one-sided
rule.
Miss Fesler iayed the attempt of Re
publicans to introduce the prohibition
question as an issue of the campaign,
saying that such issues were brought up
when no better ones could be found.
"The prohibition issue was put out Of
politics when the Volstead act was
passed by Congress-" she declared.
In discussing the League of Nations
Miss Fesler asked why the Republicans
can find only one article in the entire
league on which to base their attacks.
There are twenty six articles In the
league" said Miss Fesler, 'and If the
Republicans are endeavoring to get the
American people TO repudiate the league
why do they not say something regarding
all the articles instead of a few words
in article 10?"
II do not call working for the League
of Nations working in politics" she said.
at is war work-just the same kind
that was done before the Republicans
brought a non partisan league into this
campaign"
In discussing the acts of the last Con-
gress Miss Fesler declared that If It had
not been for a Republican Congress,
crossing President Wilson in every move.
the luxury war tax would have been
taken off long ago.

the Oldest bearing apple tree in Vigo
