SEEK
CONTROL Of FUND
Bill Regulates 100000
Memorial Money.

Politicians will have a hand in
spending State and Federal funds in
excess of 100000 for the George
Rogers Clark Centennial Exposition
if the effort of several members of
the Republican central committee to
amend the bill authorizing the ex-
position in the Senate is successful
The bill authorizing plans for the
exposition in 1929 carried with it a
State appropriation of 100000. This
purse will have added to it $1,750,000
from the United States Government.
The exposition committee in con-
troll of all funds is to be composed
solely of members elected from In
diana historical and patriotic socie-
ties. The proposed amendment pro-
vides for a number of politicians on
the committee.
In view of the fiasco connected
with Indiana's representation at the
Philadelphia Centennial Exposition,
many are viewing the latest move
with concern.

rapid TACTICS HIT
BY HOUSE SPEAKER
Six Bills Slip Through in
Speedy Succession.

II hope you have to stare some of
these bills in the face, that you are
passing so freely" was Speaker
Harry G. Leslies crisp comment to
the Indiana House of Representa-
tives Monday afternoon. The com.
ment followed the passage of six
bills in rapid succession with little
or no debate.
Leslie no doubt had reference to
a bill providing a 10 per cent penalty
for stopping payment on checks, an
other repeating the State narcotics
act, because it is claimed that the
Federal law covers the ground A.
third bill provides for pensions for
the blind. The pension would be paid
by the individual counties of the
state. Each blind person would re
ceive enough to make his income
$500 a year.
Mrs. Ella V. Gardner, Indian
apolis, stated that there are more
than 5000 blind persons in Indiana.
There are 512 in Marion County. In
voting mo-" Mrs. Gardner stated
that it would place an unnecessary
burden on the county.

BIBLE BILL KILLED
/. BY SMALL MARGIN
Part-Time Religious Scheme
Revived in Senate.

Defeat the Bible and we will revive
the part-time religious education
plan.
This seemed to be the idea reflected
in the voting of Senators Monday
afternoon when the bill of Senator
c. Leroy Leonard Warsaw. went
down to defeat by the narrow margin
of 26 to 81. The measure called for
daily Bible reading, without conf
ment, in all public schools.
After the death knell was sounded
motion to reconsider the part-time
religious education bill was made by
Senator Earl w. Payne, Blooming
ton, who voted on the prevailing side
when the bill was killed last Friday.
Under this plan any measure may be
revived that has not been up for re-
consideration and tabled.
An attempt to thwart reconsidera-
ton failed and the part-time religious
education bill will be up again
Wednesday. 1t was introduced by
Senator Fred NJ. Dickerman, Indian
apolis, and calls for eXcusing chill
dren from classes for UNCONVENTIONAL
instruction.

WATSON DEFENDS
FARM BILL FEE
Indiana Senator Discusses
MCNary-Haugen Plan.
Times WASHINGTON Bureau.
1922 Mem York Areuuc


WASHINGTON, Feb. S.-Senator
James e. Watson of Indiana today
defended the equalization fee section
of the McNary-Haugen farm relief
bill, declaring that only the farmers
enemies We're against it. Under the
bill the Government, which advances
$3.50. 100000 to provide for orderly
marketing and higher prices for
basic crops, would be recompensed
by the fee, to be assessed upon crops
affected.
This is the only sound method
of taking care of crop surplus, Z"
Watson declared. at is the only
point yet debated by the farmers
enemies, and not single farmers
organization has appeared against it.
The reason is obvious. Without it,
surplus control legislation is impos-
sible. 1t is theoretically possible, but
practically impossible, to control
crop SURPRISES by cooperative action.
Where the public good cannot be
served by voluntary cooperation, it
is a long established principle for
the Government to adopt helpful leg
islation. The fee rests on principles
old as the Government.
"Who represents the farmers here
the farmers organizations them
selves, or the United States Cham
Der of Commerce, the Washington
politicians and the business lobby
ists?" Watson asked, declaring that
railroad, banking and other such leg
islation as just as much in the bene-
fit of, special interests, as the Nc
Nary-Haugen bill would be for the
farmers.

SENATE DELUGED
W|THC|TY SALARY
BOOST MEASURES
Dublin Bill Provides Total
Restricting Costs Go to
Property Holders.

Powers that be at the Indianapolis
city hall brought forth a flock of
bills that was shunted into the In
diana Senate at converting time Mon
day afternoon and tossed from one
Marion County Senator to another
until two of them finally were in
troduced
The bills, six in number, deal
largely with salary boosts and new
methods of handling old funds or
call for board reorganization.
Senator Fred M. Dickerman, Indi-
annapolis. introduced the first. The
measure provides for salary raise
for newly appointed Corporation
Counsel Schuyler A. Haas from S5,-
900 to $4,000 annually. Haas was
appointed by Mayor Duvall after he
had requested Alvah II. Rucker to
resign because of failure to agree on
certain policies, one of which was
the recent light merger.
More Increases
The bill also calls for an increase
in the salary of City Attorney John
X. Ruckelshaus from $4,000 to
$4,000.
Another salary boost bill was
among four handed Senator Sumner
Clancy by Senator William Evans,
who received the package from city
hall by messenger. 1t calls for an
increase from $4,000 to $4,000 for
City Controller William C. Buser,
brother-in-law of the mayor. Clancy
failed to introduce his quota, was
to do so today. They provide for.
Sewer Costs Up
Senator Russell b. Harrison re-
ceived one of the bills and introduced
city to pay 35 per cent of the excess
in estimated sewer Improvement
costs.
He also introduced a utility bill
calling for Senate approval Of pub
lie service commissioners, retention
of present members until their terms
expire and appeal to Circuit and ST.
perior Courts from commission deci-
sions.
Senator William T. Quillin was an.
other Marion County legislator who
took part in the bill fest. He pre-
scented a measure calling for entire
payment of street resurfacing in In
dianapolis by the property holders,
rather than the present 1926 per
cent method.
Quillin declared that under the
present plan it is impossible to have
resurfacing done, as the city has
never had the funds to expend.
He also introduced a bill to ex.
empt light delivery trucks from city
license fees.

Might See Things
Differently NouU

The belief is general that some in
fluential member of the House Of
Representative attended Aimee Nc
Pherson's revival in Cadle Taber-
nacle.
Aimee told a story about woman
who constantly found fault with her
neighbours wash line. To this par
ticular woman the washing always
looked grimy. and, to say the least,
not quite clean.
One day. however, this woman
washed her windows and was very
much surprised to see how clean her
neighbours washing looked.
Today the Representatives are
commenting upon how lengthy the
days are getting. Somebody washed
the windows.

LONDON TRAFFIC
MAY MOVE BY
AMERICAN PLAN
Proposals Include One to
Make 'Jay-WaIking' an
0ffenSe.

LONDON, Feb. S.-Borrowing
American phrases, and in some re-
spects recommending the adoption of
American traffic regulations, the
London County Council has asked
the Minister of Transport to call
conference of all authorities concern.
ed to find some solution Of the prob.
lem of traffic casualties. The list
Of accidents is increasing at an
alarming rate.
In 1925 there were nearly 1000
deaths from street accidents in
Greater London and more than 40
600 persons We're injured. The 1926
figures are higher. During July,
August and September there were an
average of nearly three deaths a day
and 26, 727 persons were injured, or
an average of 293 day.
The American terms, Jay-Wall-
ers" and 'Jay-Motorists", are being
used to explain the cause of a great
many of the accidents. There is
suggestion that it be made an Of
Tense to "jay-walk or walk to the
public danger.
There is a demand that street
legislation be brought up to date in
London. AT present, legally speak
ing, the regulations date back to the
days of stage coaches, which are
totally inadequate to control modern
traffic.
A special committee, appointed by
the council to investigate the causes
of the increase in traffic accidents,
reported that carelessness and the
increase in motor cars are the main
reasons. The committee urged the
adoption of the American system of
defined street crossings and, where
possible, to adopt the American
signal system of traffic control. AT
present most of London's traffic is
controlled by policemen who move
from one crossing to another, simply
using their arms instead of whistles
or electric indicators to signal the
movement of the traffic.
