SAYS
TAXES CAN
BE REDUCED
Governor In Speech Calls on
Local officials to Cut
Rates.

By Times Special
BLOOMINGTON, Ind, May 1T
is reasonable to foresee a reduction In
taxes in Indiana, Governor McCray
declared in a speech here this after
noon. The speech was delivered at
4 Second district Republican meeting.
Senator Watson also was on the
program.
The reductions, the Governor said,
should come through a reduction in
rates by city, county and township
officials, who, he said, control 80 cents
Of every dollar collected in taxes. In
speaking of taxes, the Governor de-
Clared the total expenses Of the State
for the next two years cannot ex-
ceed S26, 900, o00
Does this sound like $40, ,000. 600 to
$4,000. 900 being spent annually, as
talked by the Democrats when The
Legislature was in session? he asked.
Highway Program Discussed
The Governor reviewed in his talk
the plans Of paving 1000 miles of high
ways and pointed out that of these
roads 100 miles are in the Second Dis
trict.
In defending the reformatory con.
struction, the Governor declared la
Dor and material are being obtained
on the cheapest possible basis. He
declared the Reformatory is a neces-
sity and that the erection of such an
institution is an event of century.
Much of the Governors talk was
given to a defense Of his action IN
vetoing the cooperative farm market
ing bill.
Cooperative Bill Hit
'The farmers marketing bill per-
mitted organizations without capital
to incur debt without limit, which
could become a liability against the
farmers belonging to the organizl-
tIcn." he said.
Absolute control OF the farmers
products was placed with the or
ganizations and it's members could be
tied up for a period Of ten years. No
accounting was required of the or
ganiZatiOns. The farmer in such an
organization was shut OF from deal
ing outside of it; barred from the
right to contract with his neighbor.
There was no parity between ths
obligation imposed on the farmers and
the responsibility resting on the r
ganization. Freedom of contract was
denied and Imprisonment for debt was
possible-two rights secured by our
Constitution

Is Uncle Sam a Boob?
Yes, if He Does Not Join Canada
in St. Laurence Waterway
BY HERBERT QUICK.

Last week a prominent Canadian in
one CT our northern cities privately
made a statement something like this:
I'VE want the United States Gov
eminent to come in with us and help
build the st. Lawrence waterway. But
II the Americans don't come in, with
in two or three years, we Canadians
will go in and build it alone. We
can do it. but we want to go in with
Uncle Sam as partner. We have
perfectly good reasons for wanting
to do It in that way. for II we do 1t
alone, as we have a clear right to do.
since 1t is In our territory. 1t seems
almost certain to make hard feelings
between tho two countries eventually.
And we prize the unrivaled record OF
friendship between Canada and the
United States.
How will it make hard feelings7
because II We bmiu TINS waterway
and own it, we shall hold the Great
Lakes Basin in the United States and
all the American midwest In the
hollow Of our hands in a commercial
way We shall have to charge tolls
through the waterway to. the sea
And II the United States does not
come in, her commerce will have to
bear a burden which will repay the
entire cost of the construction Of the
canal every sixty years
I'VE shall own all the power which
is developed, too.
why do thoughtful Canadians
want to divide this enormous gift to
America with the United States?
Simply because the building Of this
canal and these power plants viii
give US a greater power over the vel
fare OF the United states than a
weaker nation can have over a
stronger one-if they are to remain in
secure friendship"
The st. Lawrence waterway can be
the greatest boom to a continent
which human energy has the power

II we do not come in on this pro
iect, as Canada wants us 10 do, YOU
can write Uncle Sam down a boob

said. There's meat in It.

Ambition

BY BERTON BRALEY
I'm gonna get mine" said the smart young char
And he snapped his jaws with a vicious snap;
I'm gonna get mine In the bitter strife.
The ruthless game that is known as life.
I'm gonna get mine And there's not doubt
That the weaker brethren had best watch out.
For life is a grabbing 7 opine.
And you wager that I'll get mine
I'm gonna get mine. You can make that bet
And-anythinG else that I can get.
For everybody is out for blood
And ready TO trample you in the mud
And If with failure you won't be cursed,
You've got TO get there-and get there frstl

So they won't hamper NELL get mine"
I'm gonna get mine" said the wise young guy
With a steelly CLINT in his steelblue eye.
And the Kid is right-if he holds that creed
Of cruel selfishness, hate and greed.
OF grasping things in an iron clutch!
OF giving little and claiming much,
OF scoTning honor and brotherhood
