can serve my district best. Why
does Judge James try 10 array you
farmers as a class against the rest OF
us? Why does he appeal only to your
'selfishness? AS understand 1t the
farm bureau is not, in politics nor is
it organized to further, the political
ambitions of any man. Yet you are
no sooner organized than Judge James
wants you to put him in Congress.
Put me in Congress and l shall pass
your laws if in my power. Keep these
two gentlemen at home to advise with
you and learn your needs and write
them to me. In that way we all three
become your servants. But there are
other things to be done besides pass
ing farm laws. The excess profit law
must be repealed and all laws passed
as purely war time measures. We
are at peace and We must get cur
laws back to a peace basis. Prof.
teering is still amuck and the next
Congress must stop it. Many Of our
boys are in great need whose health
was destroyed in saving the world.
The profiteer must pay this bill. He
who reaped a fortune on the misfor-
tune of the brave should be penalized
to furnish the necessaries of life to
the helpless brave. 1 appeal 10 no

classes of true Americans who should
be bound together in ties Of brother

purpose l appeal to the voter for sup

MOTOR CLUB NOT
FOR FLAT TO CURB
Jay Walking in Streets Also
Opposed.

Letters opposing proposed new traffic
regulations In indianapolis have been
mailed by the Hoosier Motor Club to all
members Of the city council.
The letter follows:
Members Of City Council, City Hail In
dianapolis.
Gentlemen The Hoosier Motor CluD Is
anxious that traffic regulations be as
convenient as possible for automobile
drivers and yet be compatible with neces-
sary regulations for safety.
We are opposed to the proposed Hat
to-the-curb" parking on Pennsylvania,
Meridian and Illinois streets, in the con
gested district, and urge that you try
parking on these streets at smaller
angle than what is used at present.
Our reasons are that the people had a
rather difficult time adapting themselves
to the present regulations. They tried
''fiat-to- the-curb" parking some time ago
and you know the storm of protest that
Eas made.
1t is difficult for people to park ''1at
to the curb" in the congested district
They block more traffic by trying to get
in and out than would occur even with
the present angle Of parking. Another
thing is that a great deal of damage Is
done>to cars when "dat-to- the-curb" park
ing is required in the cOngested district.
Then, too, it is likely that more cars
could be parked with the smaller angle
of parking than could be parked in "hat-
to-the-curb" parking
We want, also to strongly urge that the
pedestrians be obliged to cross at the
crossings and with the traffic only At
the present time, the pedestrians walk
out anywhere along the streets from be-
hind vehicles so that it is next to impos-
sible to avoid hitting some of them, no
matter how careful the motorists may be
and the requirement of crossing at the
crossings, and with the traffic only, needs
no arguments OF Justification.
Yours very truly,
Board Of Directors,
HOOSIER MOTOR CLUB.
