HARDING MEMORIAL

SEEN BY LEADERS
All Americans VIII Want to
Give Small Bit,' Bryson

gardless Of their political affiliations,

SUGGESTS
NEW STREET FUND
Maintenance Would Be by
Blanket Tax.

A maintenance and repair fund to
keep city streets in repair at the ex-
pense Of all citizens benefited from i'm
proved streets rather than the prop
erty owners alone. was suggested by
John L. Elliot, city engineer, in an
address at the convention of the Allied
Motor Commerce at the Lincoln to-
day.
The motorist benefits from paved
streets by more pleasant riding and
decreased repair bills, the merchants
benefit by more speedy delivery Of
their products. the property owner
benefits by increased property values.
and the pedestrian benefits by i'm
proved walking conditions" Elliott
said.
Therefore street repair should be
made from a fund provided partly by
taxation, by a registration fee collected
by the State and returned to the cities
in proportion to the number Of it's cars
and by fees collected from permits Tor
street cuts. The fund should be con-
tinued from year to year"
w. o. Moore of Indianapolis and
Charles H. Stahl of South Bend, also
delivered addresses. The convention
will close tonight.

BRITISH LIBERAL

DEFEATSBALDWIN
Premier Falls to Get Majority
in ParIiament-WiII
Resign,
By United Press

LONDON, Dec. IA crushing and
unexpected defeat was administered
to Premier Stanley Baldwin and the
conservative party in the British gen
eral election.
Late this afternoon 913 labor and
liberal candidates had been elected.
This was more than a majority OF the
SIS seats in the House Of Commons
and at the time slxty-seven constltd
encies remained TO be heard from.
Stanley Baldwin will resign as pre-
mier within a day or so unless some
almost inconceivable developmen nj
gives the conservatives q majority.
Some form of coalition government
will have to be fixed up
For Baldwin's government to re-
main in, the conservatives would have
had to secure 1877 OF the remaining
173 seats, which was practically in
possible.
One Of the striking features of the
defeat of Baldwin, who must now re-
sign, was that labor candidates,
standing on a. platform of levy on
capital. gained forty seats.
David Lloyd George. flashing about
the country with his vitriolic attacks
on the proposed tariff, the issue on
which Baldwin called the election,
was another contributing factor.
