HIGHWAY CHIEFS
BALK AT MOVES
FOR FARM AID
Refusal of Plan to Help
DoWnState Residents
Is Anticipated.

'Whiskers and raiment of Santa
Claus will not be donned by the
state highway department, even for
the relief OF drought-stricken south
ern Indiana farmers" it was au-
thoritatively stated today by high
way official.
The idea of matching the
100000 to be received from the
federal government by 100000 of
state money, and then use manual
labor for the development of road
projects will not receive favorable
consideration by the highway COM
mission" it was pointed out.
IF the highway department is
permitted to go ahead and use mod
ern methods, then it may receive the
commissions sanction" it was de-
clared.
Modern Methods Cheaper
use of manual labor will mean
a cost to the department OF so per
cent in excess of what would be
spent in the natural course Of
events"
It was pointed out that the use
Of machinery and modern methods
with modicum of manual labor
would be so per cent cheaper than
to go ahead and use the funds Ito
help the farmer"
Elmer Stout, president of the
Fletcher American National bank
and financial member Of Governor
Leslie'S drought commission, con-
ferred with John J. Brown, highway
director, before leaving for Wash
ington today to attend the confer
ence of drought financial advisers
called by Arthur Hyde agriculture
secretary.
1t was understood that Brown
voiced his objections to the high
way commissions dumping millions
into southern Indiana for relief
work.
Leslie Hard to Reach"
He is said to have explained
however, that if the federal gov
eminent wishes to advance $1,000
900 from the aid to De given In
diana during 1881, the highway de-
partment will be glad to go ahead
with road foundation work in
southern Indiana, but only through
the use Of the most modern
methods.
Brown declared he has not had
an opportunity to discuss the mat
tire with Leslie, because the Gov
ernor has not been in his Office
long enough for a conference"
Leslie was due to return from the

at Meeting.

CINCINNATI, Aug. 25. - Com
munism, birth control, atheism,
modern literature and the Daugh-
tars of the Southern Confederacy
were criticised sharply today as the
sixty-fourth annual national en-
campment of the Grand Army of
the Republic and affiliated organi-
cations was called to order.
Less than 1900 boys in blue, the
discriminating remnant of the
blue clad soldiers who carried the
Unions colors in the Civil war, were
able to come here for the encamp-
ment. Many of these represented
C. A. r. posts whose membership
has been reduced to three or four.
Criticises Southern Daughters
The encampment started Sunday
with welcome by Cincinnati
churches, a concert by the American
Marine band, the dedication Of three
trees and a flagstaff as memorials,
and a banquet of Federated Pa
tr1Ot1c SocletleS.
1t was at the banquet that the
Daughters of the Confederacy were
criticised.
"You, the daughters of the men
who fought to preserve the Union"
said j. w. Willett of Iowa, judge
advocate and past commander of
the G.. A. r., must stand ever
ready to combat the baleful in
fluence of that other group OF
women, the Daughters of the
Southern Confederacy. have had
ample opportunity to see the work
ings of this influence and it is one
that we must guard against. There
are those who still believe the stars
and bars stood pure and noble"
AssaiIs Atheism Spread
Willett's theme was elaborated
upon by Past Commander John R.
Kind of Maryland, who charged that
the Daughters of the Confederacy,
through their propaganda, were
able to obtain the marine band for
their encampment-something we
we're unable to do until this year"
Mrs. Flo Jamison Miller, Month
cello, Ill, past president of the
women's relief corps, assailed the
spread of atheism in the schools
as "a menace to the nation" She
also condemned birth control and
modern literature, saying they were
helping to destroy the morals of the
people and weakening allegiance to
America.
