that no complete text Of the agree

many indications, however, of a
poor bargain for the United States.
Tydings said the conclusion
seemed well nigh unacceptable"
that delegates of the other powers

Coming TO scott but remaining
to pray" was expressive of the at
titude Of Marion county commits
sioners appearing before the state
tax board today.
Backed by some fifty citizens, who
reside on Harding street, commits
sioners came to defend a proposed
$4,000 bond issue for paving the
L. N. Highlands road.
The road extends from Troy ave
nue. 10 the Bluff road. on Harding
street. Citizens testified the paving
is needed.
Officials Lectured
Harry Micsse, secretary Of the
Indiana Taxpayers Association, ap-
pealed the case. to the tax board.
He stated at the outset that the
appeal was to check bids and not
an objection to the project
Then it was that the commits
sioners were delivered a lecture on
the conduct of their office. to which
they could do nothing but nod as
sent.
These appeals are taken to pro-
vide a check on contracts and to see
that award IS made to the lowest
bidder" Chairman James Showalter
Of the tax board told the commits
sioners and visitors.
Past Record Cited
They are taken because of the
record of such contracts in the past.
We warn you that there are
several ways to defeat this bond

hands of the county commissioners.

low bid and can receive bids based

Terrell on the Buy-a-B Bale
Pronosa1

Commissioner Of Agriculture George 3. Terrell Is
said to frown on Gov. Moody's buy-a-bale plan as q
means TO advance the price Of cotton. He admits the
movement is good as far as II goes but unless IL Is
participated in generally throughout the country 1T
will do very little good towards advancing prices"
Commissioner Terrell is a farmer. He will be q
farmer member Of the 42nd legislature. Speaking
as commissioner ne goes on record as follows.
III the money Of the South were properly used to
protect the value OF the crop the price would 60 TO
Is cents in 30 days. The price will naturally adj
vance whenever general business conditions improve.
Moreover the Farmers Marketing association is un-
dertaking to induce the farms and business interests
to hold 100000 bales off the market for 20 cents per
pound and II this were done the price Of cotton woulu
Immediately advance"
He predicted the government Is not going to donate
anything TO anybody and added those who have had
so much to say about federal aid have found this out
by now. Coed and sufficient security must be put up
70 secure any aid from the government and aid can
be secured from local sources upon the same securi-
ties"
And that's that. To sell cotton one must find a
buyer. There is a large surplus in sight. And the
advocates OF the age-old gospel Of supply and demand
insist that demand is the thing needed the civilized
world over to move the great American staple.

Morris Sheppard's Legion
Speech

Sen. Morris Sheppard is the author Of the 18th
amendment. He Is the joint author OF the 18th
amendment. He was renominated in July by a ma
jority OF 100000. His American Legion speech sound
ed a new departure. He discussed the unemploy-
ment situation and the ills Of industry and farm
ing
American prosperity was to increase individual own
ersIhp of home and industry and urged that work
men be made part owners in the business In which
they were employed" Decentralization Of industry
into a number Of smaller units also was recommended
by the senior senator as an aid to prosperity and IN
lettering employment conditions. He attacked the
system whereby 40 per cent Of the nations wealth
was placed In the hands Of two per cent OF its popula-
ton while SIS per cent Of the population controlled
only Is per cent"
He appealed to the American Legion to r~ededicate
itself to world peace and stated that unless the United
States joined in the movement 1T would be a menace
to itself and the world There is a general election
coming in November. democratic leaders the country
over are hopeful that they will capture both houses
of the new congress. II would be another load for the
donkey. There will be a presidential election in 1882.
A republican president and a democratic congress
would furnish ideal copy makers but would il be pos
sible for a constructive legislation program to be put
over BY the lawmakers and given the approval Of the
president?
Long before the coming of 1882 there will be an up
grade prosperity movement in the United States.
Truth is the republicans would be in great good luck
If they lost control Of congress in the coming month
