the primary law by shutting out any OPP
ponent to Goodrich for president. Under
that agreement the voters had no choice
whatever, the power that belonged to
them by law was taken away by a dinner
party at the SEVERN hotel.
1.-THE only trouble with the scheme, ac-
cording TO newspaper reports, is that no.
body is keeping the agreement. The re-
publican harmony scheme Is evidently
a hog and harmony proposition, and they
deserve it for trying to take away from
the people, in evasion of the law, their
rights to express freely their choice of
candidates.
Now, my friends, these things are rot
only violations of law, but also violations
of democratic principles, as I understand
them. They are violations of the funda-
mental Jeffersonian principles of the
right of the people to govern themselves.
That Is why I say It is necessary now to
return to the fundamental principles of
our forefathers I'm order to redeem In
diana from misrule. And 1 appeal to you
to stand firmly for those principles now
to stand for them in peace as well as in
warm order that government of the peo-
pie. by the people and for the people may
not perish from tie earth"

|NEWBERRY JURY
HIT BY ILLNESS
Member Faints on Way to Elec'
ton Fraud Trials.

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. Jan. 30.--Ill-
ness today depleted the ranks of de-
PENDANTS and jurors In the trial of Tru-
man H. Newberry and 1874 others on
election fraud charges In United States
district court.
VIII S. Purple of Brutus, a juror ac-
cepted by both the defense and state,
tainted while en- route to the courtroom.
He had been taken suddenly i'll during
the night. Judge Clarence w. Sessions
excused him and ]. e. House OF Marion
took his place in the jury box.
Three more defendants were excused
from attending the trial because of severe
Illness. They were Lewis Burr of
Houghton, George w. John of Mt.
Clemens and Mel Dec of North Branch.
Frank C. Daley, special United States
attorney general, a former indianapolis
man, will make the opening statement
for the prosecution and Judge James
O. Murhn of Detroit for the defense
Truman II. Newberry, United States
senator, and the main defendant Muir
fin has been Ill and took no part in
the selection of the jury but expects
to be able to be in court by Monday.
Much Of the difficulty in procuring a
jury was due to the fact that many
talesmen were active in the campaign
of 1918. when the committee in charge
of the campaign to elect Newberry to
the United States senate is alleged to
have spent more money than allowed
by law.

started paper at indianapolis to de-
mand repeal Of the unconstitutional fea-
lures of this Law, in which they say:
Because Of the vital importance of edu-
cation to the state the school corpora
lions were granted independence from
control by other political units; were
empowered to levy taxes for school pur-
poses without the sanction of mayors,
city councils or county or state Of
ficers; were given the right to borrow
money, issue bonds, purchase land and
erect buildings for the benefit of In
diana's children, without consulting the
civil officials; were Independently or
gani1ed for the sole and supreme pur-
pose OF insuring to the state a sane
and competent citizenship To this free
dom from political control, to this com
plete separation of school government
from other governmental units, is very
largely due the early and continued ex-
cellence Of Indianas school system.
From the school administrator view
point the chief faults of the NEW tax
law may be summarized as follows:
81. No money can be borrowed, no
bonds issued, without the consent of a
busy and inaccessible state tax board.
'2 No school corporation can raise
more money by taxation than was raised
the preceding year, except by the consent
OF the said board.
"3. The tax board is given power to
raise or lower any tax rate at its dis
cretion.
a. There Is no appeal to the courts
from the boards decision.
80. The duties of the board are so
multttudious that 1t Is physically i'm
possible to give other than the most
cursory and superficial consideration to
the serious and complicated financial
problems of the thousand or more school
corporations of Indiana"
"And while your guardians of the
state tax board were cutting local reve-
nues regardless of local needs, what were
they doing with the state revenues? The
general assembly gave them complete
control of the state levies Did they
show any economy. On the contrary
they increased the state taxes 40 per
cent. In the face of the provision of
the law that these taxes should not raise
more money this year than last year.
they increased the state taxes nearly So, %
100000. With full information before
them, they levied cents more than
was necessary to raise the amount of
the state taxes that were raised this
year. why not turn the rule and make
the local officials guardians for the state
tax board?
Let me call your attention to an open
and Migrant assault on the rights of the
people that is now In progress In Indiana,
and without rebuke. The people became
weary of the control Of party nominations
by party bosses, and in response to pop
ular demand primary law was passed,
giving the people the right to make their
own nominations. This did not suit the
republican leaders, Gov. Goodrich and
other party magnates, at which a gen
tlemau's agreement" was made to nullify

LONDON, Jan. 3O.-Another scathing
attack on the United States was printed

Other London newspapers comment

hut they are less venomous In their
tone than the Daily Express.
The Daily Express Is also authority for
the statement that Austen Chamberlain,
chancellor OF the exchequer. has agreed
to meet the organizers of the recent
memorial. urging an international con
ference to discuss Europe's financial
chaos.

The rabbit poisoning campaign in

Icidedly successful, according to re-

agent. 1t was noted. however. that
in localities where rabbits were ac-
customed to eating alfalfa, the poi
soned alfalfa was extremely popular,
while in the grain growing localities,
the rabbits appeared timorous and
suspicious of the green poison. Some
farmers have therefore decided to use
the heads of wheat hay for distribu-

been used to a slight extent and will
be tried again. Mr.. Bennion will leave
