PAY AS YOUGO
POLICY DEFINED
BY GOVERNOR
Hardwick Also Attacks Walker $
Platform In Lafayette
y Speech

LAFAYETTE. August 30.-More
chan 1000 Walker county citizens
heard Governor Hardwick Tuesday
emphasize his pay-as-you-go policy
as he again outlined his fiscal plat
form should he be reelected.
"My intention is and always has
been to have the money either in
the treasury or in sight before max
ing large appropriations" he said.
It's the only policy for state or
individual, and unless we practice it
we will find ourselves in either the
poor house or the bankruptcy court
before long"
The governor was introduced here
by Colonel James E. Rosser, Lafay-
cite attorney who highly praised
Mr.. Hardwick for the cool and de-
liberate method in which he cleared
away the states deficit of $4,000
600 and again brought sunlight to
the depleted treasury.
About Pensions.
"A great many people have mis-
understood my position on the mat
ter of pensions" the governor said.
"fhey seem to think that because
vetoed the pension bill giving to a
new class Of pensioners aboul
$2,500,000 yearly that no pensions
at all viii be paid after this year.
GAS Il matter of fact what | did
merely was to put the paying ot
pensions ma pre-War basis We
always pay the old class Of
pensioners-that is, about 100000
veterans and their widows-$10O an
nually. We have not the money to
pay the new class, though, and un.
til we provide some means of ad.
ditional revenue, | will be forced 40
veto all appropriations to the new
classes.
1t would mean the same as if
an individual passed worthless
check as for me to sanction an APP
preparation without sufficient money
to pay it.
Attacks Walker.
The governor again pointed to the
platform of his opponent, Cliff
Walker, and declared that if Walker
should be elected his platform would
be ruinous to the states financial af-
fairs. IF Walker is elected and car
ries out his platform it would break
the state the governor said, 9and
if he did not garry it out he would
be guilty Of deception and demagog-
uery.
he not only wants to take away
the means of all present revenue,
but says he is opposed to an income
tax and all other forms Of new tax
ation," the governor said. ''In ad-
dition he proposes to increase the
states. expenditures almost double. .

Atkins failed to stop. A third shot
hit him in the right hip, breaking the
bone.
The two policemen saw a red au-
tomobile drive up to McCarty and
West Sts., and stop. Atkins jumped
out and ran around to the side of
drug store, it is alleged. The po-
licemen pursued him and caught
him. When they searched him they
found 32-caliber automatic pistol in
his pocket.
Atkins told the police, they say, he
had bern rooming at SGT S. West st.
The automobile that Atkins was
driving was a Scripps Booth, license
No. 1867, which license was issued
for a Monroe car to Francis O'Brien,
2810 Salem St, according to police. In
the automobile the police found a

NEW ART METHOD
PROVES POPULAR
Nickel Replaces Copper in Half
tone Work.

Only the very finest and highest
grade art work in commercial lines
will satisfy the modern customer. is
the opinion expressed by an official Of
the Stafford Engraving Company OF
this city.
In no line OF modern industry has
there been higher degree Of develop
ment and improvement than in our
industry. The old days when almost
any kind of a haphazard job would
suit a customer have gone never to
return. In the thirty years we have
been in business we have seen a tre-
mendous advance in the developmnt
OF commercial art and work which
was considered the climax Of artistic
erfection a decide ago would be re-
jected today withoua seconds hesita-
ton"
Business houses have come to
realize that nothing increases the sell
ing power OF their goods more than
higk-grade commercial art work. In
fact this is one OF the strongest sell
ing factors in existence today and as
a result the demand for the very lat
est and best type OF Work OF TINS sort
is increasing steadily.
After long experience and series OF
exhaustive experiments we have per
fected a process OF placing a nickel
face on half tones. an accomplishment
the trade has been looking for eagerly
for a number OF years.
I'VE call these new plates Stafford
Tones They are superior in every
particular to ordinary copper half
tones. as much superior as is nickel
type TO the ordinary electrotype. One
of the leading features of our new
product is that 1t will last three times
as long on the press at the most con-
servative estimate. They are so hard
and so durable that they are immune
TO the numerous accidents which
scratch, mar and ruin copper half
tones. In addition they have the great
advantage OF being immune to Ink cor
rosion and they are not harmed by
rats and mice In depth, richness Of
tone. shading, delicacy and detail they
are fully the equal of copper halftones.
And because nickel. unlike copper.

PLATE CLASS HAS
NUMER ROUS USES
Value of Material for Everyday
Use Now Recognized.

More and more II is coming to be
realized that plate glass is a necessity
in modern life and not a luxury. ac-
cording to Parker II. James, presi-
dent OF the Indianapolis Glass Com
pany, manufacturers and jobbers Of
plate glass. 1902 Kentucky Ave.
plate glass is used universally in
this day and age" Mr.. James said.
1T is used in industry, in homes, in
business and in automobiles. The
presence of plate formerly was the
cause Of comment, now its absence is
the cause OF comment.
In the home II has numerous uses.
Housewives have found that it re-
suits IN a tremendous saving in
household labor and they have seen
its many advantages for use as tops
for dressing tables and other articles
OF furniture Not only does 1t add
beauty and quiet dignity 10 the
articles. on which it is used, but it
also affords valuable protection to
and keeps them from being marred
by damaging liquids spilled by
accident.
Many a splendid table has been
SCARED BY having a hot dish set on
it for only a few minutes. Accidents
Of this kind necessitate an ex-
renditure for refnishing FAR in ex-
cess Of the cost Of a top glass which
would afford absolute protection for
many years.
Recently we took over the interests
Of the local branch of the Kawneer
Company OF Niles, Mich, which has
been in the business of installing store
fronts. We also have purchased the
plant and equipment OF the Hoosier
Glass Company OF this city. These
additions practically will double our
capacity for turning out automobile
glass. for which there is a great and
constantly increasing demand.
New orders are coming in upon us
with surprising rapidity. Trade from
automobile factories is the largest
single item in our business, although
there is a steady demand for mirror
work and store front installation.
Due to the heavy demand a short
age Of plate glass continues to exist.
Prices remain strong and the demand
heavy. At present we have a fairly
good supply OF plate and window glass
on hand.
we are in a position to design and
construct store fronts OF any kind for
any character Of business. This is a
speciality to which we have devoted
great care and attention and we are
in a position to give the very highest
OF service possible"

FURNACE ECONOMY
BECOMES IMPORTANT
Heating Plant Efficiency Should Be
Sought, Dealer Says.

Great activity along home building
lines in Indianapolis during the past
season and at the present time has
resulted in an unusual and unexpect-
edly large demand for furnaces and
other heating equipment. according to
Harry Rybolt. president Of the Ry-
bolt Heating Company.
In the past few months. we have
installed more furnaces in private
homes than for a similar period for
number Of years back. New homes
require new heating equipment, and.
as We all know, Indianapolis has built
more new homes during the past year
than ever before in the history Of the
city.
Naturally, all new furnaces in
stalled do not go into new homes. FOR
there have been many cases where re
modelling work postponed as long as
possible when the abnormal high
prices OF the war period stll were in
existence, has required the placing OF
new and up-to-date heating equipment
in old buildings. Also there has been
a great amount Of furnace repair
work to be done.
Probably the most important factor
in successful heating plant is prop
er installation. This should be the
very first thing TO be given proper at
tention by the home builder. but. un-
fortunately, 1t frequently is never
thought OF at all by him. Many
high grade. really fine furnace has
been made ineffective through miser-
able installation work. The result has
been that n fine furnace has been CIV
en- blame it no way deserves.
I'VE make it a rule in our company
to employ none but the very highest
grade OF furnace workmen, and l
think we can assure the public that
any time we are called upon for serv-
ice we will be found in q position to
give service Of the very highest type.
1.-The high price Of fuel at the pres
ent time makes 1t imperative that
heating plants be kept in the best Of
condition. In the old days when coal
costs were about onehalf of what
they are today It made no particular
difference whether or not the furnace
operated economically. Frequently
the householder figured 1t would be
poor economy to have it overhauled.
But now all Is different. Many
