The Better One Likes Them

In wearing correctly fitted corset your figure
will gradually take the lines conceived by the de-
sign of the corset Binner corsets are worked out
in materials that make the corset retain its original
figure lines long as the corset is in use You can
have beautiful proportions by steadily developing
your figure into correct lines
A trial fitting with the Binner is very convincing.

sessment of the maximum rate. The bill
provides that during 1921 the city may
borrow not to exceed $1,000 for the
purpose of paying for resurfacing during
that year. The bill carries an emergency
clause
The proposal has met with the approval
of various civic organizations which be-
lieve the present plan is too much of
burden for small property owners.
WILL PUSH ACT TO
ABOLISH FEE SYSTEM
Mr.. Benedict expects to be active in
the session with this bill and with his
Marion Country salary bill, which seeks
to abolish the much condemned fee sys-
tenn. The announcement OF this plan has
caused considera*ie comment and not
little CONSERVATION. 1t Is expected TO
bring about brisk fight in the Assembly,
where officials and would be officials are
expected to object strenuously to the
abolishment of their means OF obtaining
easy money.
The incomes of some of the county Off
gals at the present time run into tens
of thousands Of dollars, all contributed
by taxpayers IN the form of fees. Mr..
Benedicts proposal that the Marion
Couny clerk, prosecuting attorney, county
sheriff, county auditor and county re-
corder draw straight salaries Of $500;
the treasurer $4,000 and the surveyor
$4,000, is expected to have the opposition
of those who expect to share in the pres
ent enormous donations of taxpayers.
Mr.. Renedict even goes so far as to pro-
vide that prisoners at the county jail be
fed at cost
The provision Of the bill which Is being
most seriously discussed by the adyo-
cofas ~ tba nf ba
TEN is that which places in the hands Of
the county commissioners the power 70
designate the number OF deputies to be
employed In each office and the salaries
they shall receive. II has been pointed
out that such q provision would leave
open the way for a vigorous shaking Of
the plum tree and for the provision with
Jobs OF numerous political fsvorites.
WISH LAW TO NAME
NUMBER OF DEPUTIES.
The proposal has been made that the
law provide the number OF deputies and
the salaries which they shall be paid
Mr.. Benedict admits this provision OF
his bin may be a weakness but he
points out that emergencies may arise
which no law could take care Of.
Advocates OF tho adjustment OF the
fee system, which, they say is responsi-
bic for most OF the corruption in county
offices, are pleased over the fact that
Marion County legislator has had cour-
age enough to defy the establish organ
ization of his party TO such an extent
that he proposes to take away most OF
the easy income.
While Mr.. Benedict is proposing TO
reduce the incomes Of the highest paid
county officers there are other movements
under way TO obtain increases In salaries

Field Products Are Made
by President.
INTEREST ON FINANCE

WASHINGTON. Dec. 2s-President
Wilson will veto the omnibus" tariff bill
levying duties on agricultural products
passed by an overwhelming vote in the
House last night, if it is also passed by
the Senate and sent to him, according to
intimations conveyed to certain Demo
cratic leaders Of the Senate today.
While none Of the Democratic leaders
concerned would permit himself to be
quoted. it was learned they have been
in close touch with the White House,
since the bill was reported favorably by
the House Ways and Means Committee,
in an effort to ascertain the Presidents
attitude.
While no official statement on the sub
ject has been forthcoming from the
White House, it was authoritatiyely
stated at the capitol by Democratic Sen
ators in a position TO ascertain the Presi-
dents views regarding prospective legis-
lation that the President is not in SYM
patty with present congressional efforts
to meet the country's financial and eco
nomic situation.
INTEREST CENTERS
IN FINANCE COURSE
The Presidents course toward the
poration passed by Congress recently
still is being awaited with undisguised
interest With both the Senate and
House in session today. it was reported
the President might send the measure
back to Congress with his veto as a
Christmas present for those Of its mem
hers who supported it.
While the passage Of the bill in the
House was anticipated, in view of a
k,Ss
from agricultural States, irrespective of
party or sectional ties, 1t will undergo
trough shedding" after it reaches the
Senate today, il was predicted by both
Democratic and Republican Senator's
strongly opposed to it.
NO ACTION
EXPECTED TODAY.
The Senate is expected to do nothing
with the bill today, except to refer It
to the Senate Finance Committee. Sen
stor Simmons OF North Carolina, and
Senator Hitchcock Of Nebraska. are
among the Democratic leaders who in
sist the bill must take its regular
course in the Senate and who declare
they and other Democratic Senators will
combat any move to rush it through
that body without due consideration
and debate"
While the bills supporters in the Sen
ate claim to have enough votes to pass
it. its passage by that body before the
Christmas and new year holidays is re
gsrded remote By leaders on both sides
Of the upper chamber.
The Senate plans 10 recess today until
Monday, and from Monday to the sue
ceeding Thursday, and again to the fol-
lowing Monday, so as to give its mem-
hers ample time to celebrate the advent
OF Christmas and the new year.
The emergency revenue bilP is a
vicious proposal Senator Pat Harrison,
Democrat of Mississippi, a leader Of the
younger Democrats in the Senate de-
cIared today. = will oppose it aud feel
that 1t should be defeated for the good
of the country. It violates the funds-
mental Democratic principles"

shortage of houses will continue; in fact

than it is today"
SUGGESTS PLANS
FOR BUILDING
Senator Calder suggested the following
plans for encouraging building:
Legislation providing that 90 per cent
of savings deposits may be loaned on
mortgages.
Reduction of high wages.
Tax exemption for incomes from mort
cages.
Restriction of the issuance of tax ex-
empt securities.
Creation of a home loan banking sys-
TEN.
Reduction of wages where living costs
are reduced.
Cancellation of all transportation pri-
ority orders.
Establishment of a department of con-
struction.
Discussing the fuel situation, Senator
Calder reiterated his previous statements
that coal profteering must be checked
by the Government.
Private interests now in control OF
the production and distribution of coal
are actually unable to prevent a con-
deplorable situation, and it is the duty
Of the Government to take such reason
able and practical steps as 1t may 10
remedy the situation" Senator Calder
said. He urged as the first step in such
a program the establishment of a Fed
eral agency to which all coal producers
would submit complete reports on prices,
distribution and production.
OPPOSES SUBSIDY
FOR HOME BUILDERS.
Senator Calder opposed subsidy for
home builders and declared that this has
been done in France and in England,
but some day England will face a can
dition In attempting to pay its housing
bonds that will, unless extraordinary
steps are taken to prevent it, undermine
her whole business and social fabric"
The construction Of houses is like
every business, based entirely upon the
Fro1t in the venture and men will build
houses again when they can see an
opportunity for gain" Senator Calder
declared.
Issuance by the States Of bonds for
public improvement have been unduly
encouraged" under the present Federal
taxation system, Senator Calder said.
These securities are issued tax exempt
and have resulted in taking from the
mortgage field almost completely the
private investor" thereby reducing
money available for building purposes
the Senator declared. Il am informed
that the Marshall Field estate in Chica 60
and the estate OF Hetty Green, both of
whom formerly loaned heavily on real
estate, find their incomes from this
source less than ? per cent. and they arc
diverting their capital funds to more lu-
crative investments.

behalf of the county commissioners Of
the State and especially of Marion County,
providing for salary increases. The. bill
would provide a scale Of salaries carry
ing In proportion to the population of
the counties It would start with $1,000
year for Marion County and range to
5000 a year in the smallest county. The
Marion County commissioners now receive
salaries of 81, 500 a year and the salaries
of commissioners In other counties range
down to 800 year. The proposed law
would provide that county commissioners
be bonded in the sum Of SIS, 900.
OTHER INCREASES
CONSIDERED.
A movement also is under way to bring
about an increase In the salary of the
coroner of Marion County to So, 600 The
coroner now receives a maximum of 3d.,
600 a year, including fees. The bill also
would provide for the employment of
chief deputy at salary of $1,000 DepH-
ties are now paid on "piece work"
basis.
Another bin is being drawn which
would provide for the increase in salary
Of the judge Of the City Court. The
Judge now receives salary of S3,50O.
The question of an increase in salary
for the city judge brings up the sub
Ject of the proposed municipal court sys-
tenn. A committee OF the bar associa-
ton, headed by John Z. HoIlett, will
meet, possibly next week, for the pur-
pose of considering the proposal. The
new system would provide three civil
courts and one court which would handle
misdemeanors. The civil courts would
take the place, to a large extent, of the
present justices OF the peace courts, and
would relieve the Circuit and Superior
Courts of many of the smaller cases.
