EXPENSIVE ROAD
FOR SOUTH SIDE
County Bosses Pick High Class
Material for Paving.

A petition for the paving of a strip
Of road on South Pennsylvania street
from Pleasant Run boulevard south to
the township line with vobrolithic con-
crete, one Of the most expensive of paw.
ing materials, has been accepted by the
county commissioners. The road is
known as the John Carlisle road because
Carlisles name appears first on the pc
tition. Carlisle is the bailif of the
County Commissioners Court.
The petition, which was filed March IS

addition to the section naming the vitro-
lithic concrete, set forth that the road
is to be fifty feet wide, thirty feet TO
be hard surfaced and five feet on each
side to be surfaced with crushed stone.
Final authority for the construction of
the road will be granted If the county

reports.

SHIVELY SAYS
RESERVE PLAN
ISDIS'fORTED
Declares Mellen Appointment
Was Special Favor for
Big Business.

Special 20 The Times.
GARY, Ind, April 26.-Manipulation of
the Federal Reserve Banking system
through appointment of men In sympa-
thy ony with Wall Street and big capt.
tai was charged to the Harding Ad-
ministration by Bernard B. Shively
candidate for the Democratic nomination
for United States Senator, speaking at
meeting here last night. Through ap-
pointment of Andrew Mellon, as Secretary
of the Treasury, Mr.. Snively declared the
way was paved for the disastrous pro-
gram Of defiation which, he charged, was
started by the Federal Reserve Board.
The entire drift-nay the whole pro-
gram of the Harding Administration
has been intent on one result-namely
The bestowal Of special privileges,
Shively declared.
Having never believed in a general
prosperity, they have ingeniously con-
ceived a well defined program to add
more fat to the kettle of the vested in
terests, hoping in turn these favored ones
will consent to distribute a little Of 1t
as a sort Of aims to the Nation.
"once in control. their program was
comparatively simple What right had
10 pAOopei W nat
right had business to be so contented
What right had the manufacturer and
producer-not generally considered a part
of big business'-to be so independent:
What right had labor to attend the pic
ture show and eat three meals a day?
I'VE will change this program at once,
they said. We will take the control Of
the money power out of the hands of the
people and put it back where it was prior
TO the advent of Wilson. We will throw
it back into the hands of Wall street.
Yes, we viii emasculate the great Federal
Reserve system that enabled us to win
the war-that great system that made 1t
possible for Us to loan ten billion OF dol
lars to Europe and raise twenty four
billion for war purposes. This system
will be made creature OF our will.
We will control its personnel. tnen will
we control its policy. We viii place MI.
Melon, Wall street baron, at the head OF
the Treasury. He Is rich. almost as rich
as Rockefeller. He will know what
capital needs. And so, even as they
had planned. Mr.. Harding appointed Mr..
Mellon. And Mr.. Mellon, knowing what
the interests wanted, prepared his pro-
gram Of defation. The most stupen-
dous and cold blooded piece Of financial
jugglery that ever was foistered on a
people. Understand. | make no criticism
against the Federal Reserve system. 1t
marks n new epoch in American states
manship. 1t is the Administration OF the
law that denounce.
There is no question that the Federal
reserve board. controlled by great New
York interests, has favored Wall street.
Certainly, IL cyclone had hit the Ma
ton it could not have wrought greater
havoc to property values than did the
era of deflation inaugurated by the board
Thus we have the first step by the Re
publican party In the interest OF the
Wall street spectators as against the
manufacturers, farmers, stockmen and
the smaller banks and business men"
