SCHWAB is NOT
WORRIED ABOUT
U. S. BUSINESS
Continued Prosperity Is
Steel Mans Forecast to
Manufacturers.

Charles NJ. Schwab, world steel
emperor, believes that his and kin
dred industrial kingdoms, will con-
tinue to grow, and that America
generally will prosper, he told the
Indiana Manufacturer Association
at the Columbia Club Monday night.
"All of us we're here before the
wave of speculation broke over us:
The wealth of the nation is not on
paper, but in the brick and mortar
Of our factories, in the cars we own,
and the things we build" he said.
The steel nragnate made one tocu-
lar reference to the recent stock
market crash.
"I returned to New York in No
vember," he said, Ito greet all my
friends, the former millionaires."
Scores Law Revision
In his address, preceding SchWab's
speech, William L. Taylor, formerly
state encouragement, president Of
the Indianapolis Bar Association,
attacked a, contemporary movement
for a constitutional convention to
scrap Indkna's Constitution and
supllant it with a modern state
foundation.
Comparing the state with the
federal Constitution, Taylor char
acterized the former as an up-to-
date, fundamental document, stand
ing in no greater need of change
today than a year after it was
drawn.
Grievances stressed by those
favoring the revision, he declared,
were not constitutional, but statu-
tory matters. He cited suggested
changes in township government,
county boundaries and taxation as
examples.
