is necessary to the protection Of rural
communities, declaring that the average
constable Is not the man best qualified
but the man who can muster the most
votes He pointed out that bank hold
up insurance in Pennsylvania is much
lower than in many other States. He
said there were onoly six bank robberies
In PENNSYLVANIA last year and that two
of the men who had committed these
robberies escaped across the State line
and that the remainder are in Jail await
itg trial. 1t previously had been stated
that there were fifty five bank robberies
in Indiana during last year.
Major Adams told in detail of the work
Of the State police in strikes and of their
experiences in recently apprehending the
kidnaper Of the Coughlin baby. He de-
clared that the troops do not interfere
in strikes and similar disturbances I'M
less called In by local authorities as a
last resort.
Prominent in the large crowd which at
tended the hearing were Felix New hirter
and Henry L. Dithmer. members Of the
Indianapolis board Of public safety.

control Of the President? Labor be-
lieves that such q menace strikes pri-
marily at our Government. 1t takes
away from local authorities the right to
pursue the course of action intrusted in
them and which they swore to uphold.
By such means you lessen the confidence
Of the people in the Government"
Mr. Lewis then proceeded to tell of ex-
periences labor organizations have had
with constabularies in other States and
Of the effect Of similar organizations in
other countries He declared the State
police protected the persons who. in
1917. carried out the wholesale "kidnap-
fng' OF laborers in Arizona and New
Mexico.
He demanded to know how much pro-
lection the 40 men proposed for the
State force would be to the rural com
munities and the 800 Indiana banks. He
declared the Pennsylvania constabulary
had protected the detectives who killed
nineteen miners in one of the Pennsyl-
vania strikes. He declared that the con-
stabulary there is centered in the indus
trial centers and that in many rural com
munities the population had never seen
a State policeman.
COST FIGURES
PRESENTED.
He presented the following figures.
which he said had been presented to him
by the Federation of Labor as the ap-
propriations of eight other States which
maintain State forces: Pennsylvania,
81. 100 295; New York, $733. 9S4; West Viz
cinia. S225 600; Michigan, $3GS, 21O; Texas,
1856. 1852; Connecticut, $126, 500; South Da-
kota, $4,000; Idaho, $4,000. The pro-
posed annual appropriation for Indiana
is 100000.
Labor is law abiding and believes in
UNFOLDING the law" he said Not n

Indiana daily times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1914-1922, 1921-02-04
POLICE
BILL SUBJECT
OF HOT DEBATE
John L. Lewis, Representing
Labor Bodies, Opposes
Constabulary.
COST FIGURES SET OUT

The question Of whether Indiana
shall establish a State constabulary took
first place n interest In the Legislature
today, following a public hearing on
the question before the Senate Commit
tee on military affairs last night. The
hes ring was accompanied by q demon
strstlon on the part OF opponents OF the
bill. mostly representatives Of labor I'M
ions. who turned out hundreds strong
to cheer the speakers who opposed the
bill and hiss the speakers who favored
1t. The galleries disregsrded all warn
8nRs and persisted IN loud and pro-
Sbnged demonstrations.
y The two principal speakers were Major
Lynn G. Adams, head OF the Pennsyl-
vania State police. who spoke for the
bill. and John L. Lewis, international
president OF the United Nine Workers OF
America, who opposed It. At the open
ing Of the hearing short statements were
made in favor Of the bill by Luther
Simons. banker. OF LewfsTille, and c E.
Martin, farmer, Of jamestown. Theh
statements were followed by a short
statement by T. n. Taylor Of the Indiana
Federation Of Labor. who opposed the
bill and then Mr.. Lewis spoke.
LEWIS APPEARS
FOR LABOR BODIES.
MI Lewis declared that as interna-
tionaI president of the mine workers he
represented an organization Of 600,OW
men. 10000 OF whom work in Indiana,
and that he also had been delegated 10
represented the State Federation OF
Labor.
"Organized labor is opposed 20 the
enactment of this bill, not because OF
any fancies or dreams but because Of Its
experiences with similar systems in other
States" he said. He declared he had
seen in action these representatives OF
centralized State power, who function
without the consideration Of the rights
of communities"
Mr.. Lewis declared the principle Of
State police forces is repugnant to Amer
lean citizens He said this principle Is
the Capitalization OF power. He asserted
that the bill seeks to place In the hands
OF the Governor power that Is not given
him by the Constitution. He declared
It would give the Governor q force Of
armed men aDswerable only TO him, who
might sweep aside the authority OF
municipalities and counties.
SAYS PLAN STRIKES
AT GOVERNMENT.
Some might agree he said, that a
benevolent despOtism is the best form of
government It may be when It is benev-
olent, but 1t is the worst form when the
Suppose all the States had police forces
and the Government should see fit to
pace such an armed force under the
Indiana daily times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1914-1922, 1921-02-04

PUBLIC OWNERSHIP BODY
DECLARE REPORT FALSE.

CHICAGO, Jan. 22.--In an analysis
issued today by Carl d, Thompson,
secretary of the Public Ownership
League OF America Of the report adj
opted last November at Washington
by the National Association of Rail-
way and Utilities Commissioners. the
latter's conclusions that popular
possession OF utilities was nom eco
nomic were denounced as "fallacious,
spurious and unwarranted
The leagues report contepdod that
commissioners individually and as an
association had distorted the truth
and demanded their removal from
public office. In contravention of the
report OF the utility commissioners,
the Public Ownership league asserted
that more than $500 cities owned and
operated water works and that their
rates had been reduced to an aver
age Of 4s per cent.

in pedestrian insouciance. To watch
him cross a crowded street, while en-
crossed in the pages of his fayorite
newspaper, takes the punch out Of
Marshal Ney's claim to the title bra
vest of the brave"
Having paid this inevitable tribute
to the courage and abandon of Jay
Walker, we may look at him briefly
from another point Of yiew-as the
worst menace existing in modern traf-
fic. The toll Of motor vehicle acci-
dents is mounting, as countless auth
critics have pointed out. 1t viii con-
tinue 10 mount, until all traffic is con-
trolled-pedestrain as well as yehicul-
ar. Traffic experts realize that it is
impossible for all classes of modern
traffic TO occupy the same right Of
way at the same time in safety. We
hicles are not allowed on the pave
ment and are only permitted TO use
the streets under control of traffic Of
( ficers. We cannot forbid pedestrians
TO use the vehicular section Of the
streets for crossing purposes. but We
/ can compel them to use them under
ueitfille Euies OF eViluuSl, atSasheu II

OF other users Of the right Of way
The sooner this problem is squarela
met. the sooner we shall achieve rea.
sonable safety FOR all in modern ur-
ban traffic. which at best is existins
under conditions never anticipated By
orr fathers wh" laid out our city high.

Reports emanate from the halls of the legislature

candidates.
The od guard of both parties said to favor return to

The od guard has been reconced the law which
did good deal to put party bosses into the discard little
surprising though that politicians have the temerty actually
to attempt to repeal this law Their experience with the

The Oregon direct primary law undoubtedly has its faults
and weaknesses and would say that the obec
