State Body to Help Officials

the proposed merger of the Indian
apolis Light and Heat Company, and
the Merchants Heat and Light Com
pany, with capitalization of APP
proximately $56,000,0 900
Indications were that the proposed
merger will precipitate a battle of
experts.
Mayor Duvall and Corporation
Counsel Alvah j. Rucker have en-
tered the fray against the proposal
and today Rucker said that what is
needed for their defense before the
public service commission is the tes-
timony of experts The mayor al
ready has placed all of the city's
legal talent at the disposal of tucker
for the combat
Need Experts
THE trouble Is that the merging
companies will have experts,
equipped with facts and figures. and
to win we must have experts, also"
Rucker said I'VE haven't the money
to employ them with city funds. but
it is possible that an aroused citizen
ship could provide for the defense
by popular subscription"
This proposal will be one Of the
things discussed At a meeting of the
executive committee Of the federated
civic clubs early next week. A.

FALL LEA YES
NEW DANGER
TO 1MOTORLST
Hold Menace of SkidS When
Brakes Are Applied on
Pavement.

The autumn leaf on the pavement
is as tricky for the motorist as the
banana peel on the sidewalk Is to
the pedestrian according to the safe
ty department Of the Hoosier Motor
Club and a warning is issued toNuse
caution in applying brakes over leaf
strewn pavements.
Every fall the club received many
reports of accidents due to skiddlng
on leaves and the wrecking service
of the club is heavily tayed until
the leaves have settle down for the
winter, according to Duane DUNCAN,
club president.
Both sides of the autumn leaf are
treacherous," says DUNCAN, for
when they are wet or covered with
frost ice or snow they give a pol
ished surface on the upper side for
skidding automobile wheels when
the brakes are applied. The appar-
emily dry leaves on the pavement
usually holds moisture on the under
side causing a skid when the brakes
are applied directly over them.
1.-THE season Of many skids is fast
approaching and every motorist
should use extra precaution when
driving over wet or icy pavements.
It has been proven that wet rubber
Is slick and that skids may occur
on concrete pavements when wet or
heavily saturated with oil. Gravel
roads present a special type Of skid
ding hazard at all times and some
types of paved roads become as slick
as a skating rink when wet.
at is a good plan to carry skid
chains in the car ready for i'm
mediate use when the roads are wet
or icy and after the chains are placed
on all four tires it is safe to drive
without placing too much confidence
in them for they slip sometimes. Me-
chanical devices for safety should al
ways be used, but nothing will take
the place of good sensible driving"

WHY DID INDIANA
SOLONS VOTE No
ON REEDS QUIZ?
For Whom Were Senate Bal
lots Cast, Stump Asks
Audience,

BU Times Special
ROCKVILLE. Ind. oct. 3O.-"For
whom were the votes Of Mr.. Wat
son and Mr.. Robinson cast when
they voted not to consider in the
Senate Of the United States a reso-
luton authorizing an investigation
into charges that $4,000, 900 or more
had been expended in the Repub-
lican primary in Pennsylvania last
spring."
That question was asked here
this afternoon by Albert Stump,
Democratic nominee for the long
term in the United States Senate.
Is Sincere
81 am simply asking that ques.
ton" Stump continued, lin all sin
certify and with a deep earnestness
in arriving at correct answer TO
the question, If one could be given.
Do you think those votes were cast
for your own good, my fellow citi-
zens of the State of Indiana?
COR were they cast for the pur-
pose Of protecting interests unfair
to you? Why did these Indiana Sen
ators lend their vote to a plan to
conceal the very forces that were at
tempting to reach into the places of
government and influence its policies
through the use of their money?
Carried by Democrats
1.-THE motion to Investigate
primary expenditures carried on the
vote of the Democratic Senators and
the progressive Republicans, and
thereafter a vote was had on the
adoption of the resolution itself. The
record will disclose the names of a
long list Of Senators, who had left
the Senate Chamber by the time
their names were reached on the
roll call in order to avoid voting on
the resolution at all. Among those
who left were Senator Watson and
Senator Robinson of Indiana.
Should not their actions in this
matter be explained to the people
of the state of Indiana? How can
such actions and such votes be
reconciled to a clear and unwavering
purpose to serve your interests with
the singleness of aim your interests
require? 1t may be that such ex'
PLANTATION can be. given"
