ONE-WAY
TRAFFIC

Harvey Bedford, police traffic
inspector, recommends that the
one-way traffic plan now in opera
ton four hours a day on n. Meri-
dian st. be discontinued and the
thoroughfare be restored to the
two-way, catch.as-catch-can type of
traffic artery.
Under the one-way system the
street, says the traffic boss, has
become a race course during one
way periods. Motorists come from
as far east as College Ave. and
as far west as Northwestern Ave.
to "hit her up" on Meridian.
Unquestionably traffic moves
with CELEBRITY and springhtliness up
and down this street in the one
way hours. And no doubt north
side motorists from large area
ting to and from town because of
it's preferential character and the
possibilities for greater speed.
But those are the very factors
that prove the one-way system is
worth it's salt. 1t speeds up move
ment in and out of the congested
downtown district.
Since the plan has been in eff
feet Meridian st. has carried a
heavier motor traffic during rush
hours, at higher speed. and with a
smaller percentage CT serious acct
dents than any other main
thoroughfare in the city. The
reason is plain. Drivers go fast
but their minds are concentrated
on driving, not woolgathering. And
at intersections side street traffic
hesitates discreetly before plunging
into the stream.
If some motorists take advantage
of the conditions and do race trP ok
stuff, q traffic, cop and the judge
can cool their ardor. To abolish
the one-way rule because of some
speeders would contribute nothing
to safety, merely increase down
town congestion, where already
only spry pedestrians survive.
1t wouldn't improve Indianapolis
traffic conditions any more than
requiring all motorists to wear red
neckties and pluck their eyebrows.

The profanity of a 9-year-old boy
has caused considerable perturbation
to a correspondent of Mr.. Fixit.
DEAR MIR. FIXIT: Perhaps this
is out of your line, but you might
be able to tell me where TO place the
complaint or what can be done in a
case like this. A 9-year-old boy
curses and uses the most filthy lam
guage one could imagine. His moth
er can do nothing with him. for he
calls her filthy names. I have tried
to be kind to him and interest him
in Sunday School. but it's no use.
l wish for other children to be
able to go out in the street without
having to hear such talk.

PREDICTS B0L I
Of FARMERS

The American farmer, coming
into his own as a politician, viii
use the November elections to give
the farm bloc" a new balance of
power in Congress. Senator Peter
G. Norbeck tR) of South Dakota,
an agriculture leader, predicted this
situation today on the eve of leav-
ing Tor the West to open his cam
paign for reelection to the Senate.
The battle of the men behind the
ploWs for economic relief, Norbeck
said, will plunge across party lines
and center upon issues and the
candidates who support them.
This movement in the West, he
added. will grow until the farm
ers will have sufficient voting
strength to decide the Presidential
elections of the future.
Agriculture now holds the bal
ance OF power between the two
great political parties" said Nor
hack There has been but one
example Of its strength. In 1916
agriculture elected a Democratic
President by giving him the Repub-
lican States Of the Northwest. Even
then, agriculture was unorganized.
In the meantime, the farmers
Will concentrate on eleCt1ng Con.
gress favorable to it's interests. In
the next year, / believe, a great
increase Of strength will be shown
in the farm bloc, sufficient to make
it a balance of power in Congress.
Party lines have been gradually
breaking down In the Northwest for
the vast Is years" he concluded.
Our people look at the men and
the issues instead Of the party la
bells, So.

Fall was reluctant to assume that
responsibility. Fall informed the Sec
retary that his department had all the
work it could do at the time and was
not looking for any more, but II Mr..
DENLY thought it was essential for
the good of the Navy he would con-
sent to take over such duties.
Only because the Navy Department
was not accustomed to handling such
matters. former Secretary DENLY said,
he had requested Mr.. Fall to draw up
a draft of an executive order. He said
that upon receiving this draft from
Fall he had submitted it to Assistant
Secretary of the Navy Theodore
Roosevelt, who examined it and sug-
gested that it be amplified.
Then. in response to questions oV
Attorney Frank j. Hogan for the de-
fense, he said he was absent from
Washington beginning May ZS, 192l'
and upon his return early in June
found that the President had issued
the executive order. He replied also
to further questioning that he had
submitted the letter transmitting the
draft Of the order to the President.
which he previously had sent to Fall
for his approval.
Knew Loss Was Heavy.
Mr.. Hogan asked the witness when
he first became cogniZant of the situa-
ton in the oil reserves, and DENLY
replied that it was very shortly after
coming into office in 1921. The heavy
drainage that was going on in the
reserves was called to his attention,
he said, and he was aware that the
loss to the Government and the Navy
was heavy.
II was very much worried about
the situation and didn't believe the
Navy had adequate facilities to han
die the reserves" he said. 1t was be-
cause the Department OF the Interior
had supervision over public lands that
he took up this matter Of co-ordina-
ton with Secretary Fall. he said
DENLY said he explained the diff.
culties of the situation and asked II
the department would give the Navy
the necessary data. 1t was on this oc-
casion that Fall consented to look
after the Navy's interests in the re-
serves only upon being pressed to
do so.
Mr.. DENLY said he next took the
matter up with the President and
told the President that he feared the
naval oil reserves were being depleted.
Since the Navy was without facilities
and it was the policy to allocate such
matters to departments under which
they would naturally come, he wanted
the Presidents help.
