Board of Trade President
ReiterateS Demand for
Revision Downward.
ANSWER is PREPARED
Labor to Request County
Council Ignore Plea
for SIaSheS.

Asserting economic readjustments
can not be halted by politics, reso-
lutions or other silly gestures" W.
Hathaway Simmons, president of
the indianapolis Board of Trade,
today reiterated to city councilmen
the boards stand that wages OF
public employees should be reduced.
City councilmen have made nc
comment on letters sent them by
Simmons Monday, when he pointed
to the wage reduction proposal as
the method to bring about tax re-
duction.
Several labor unions already have
adopted resolutions against the
Board of Trades proposal.
Members of a special committee
of the Central Labor Union today
are preparing an answer to the or
ganization'S reduction plan and a
demand on the county council that
the plan be ignored.
Unpopular With Some
I'VE recognize the reduction of
salaries naturally would be unpopu-
lar with those having salaries re-
duced," Simmons wrote.
Simmons denied the wage reduc-
tion plan was instigated by ousted
Republica.l county leaders who were
trying to get even." He said the
membership of the board is divided
and politics did not enter into its
attitude on the question.
"We wish to reiterate that the
public official who permits politics,
friendship, or any other considera-
ton from doing all within his power
TO reduce the fearful burden of
taxes is derelict in his public trust, %
he said.
Moves of labor unions against the
Board of Trades proposal was criti-
cised by Simms as an effort to
raise class distinction.
Hits Labor View
Simmons said he believed the
'laboring man should be most con-
cerned with securing a reduction OF
taxes and could not understand
how union members believed they
would be able to obtain employment
for year unless tax reduction was
forthcoming.
Continuation of pulic employees
present salary scale with the "re-
duced cost of living and increased
purchasing power of the dollar,
means the salary is being in
creased" he said.
Simmons also asked that persons
who have criticised the boards wage
reduction proposal offer a "tenable
ground for continuation of the pres
ent tax rate"
Asks Good Judgment"
eve do not wish to assume the
role of calamity prophet" he said.
GOOD judgment and courageous
action can forestau what will result
in the governmental breakdown and
can do much toward removing the
present unemployment.
Eve believe a municipal financial
situation, more serious than that
which exists in Chicago, will result
if this warning is not needed. Our
city and county will not have suffi-
Gent money to function, and the
public employees salaries may not be
paid at all if they are not reduced
to a reasonable figure which will
permit our business to live and our
citizens to keep their homes"

of the Franklin institute, has ex-
planned what the museum will mean
as an institution for the advancement
of learning in these words:
"There will be no hands Off signs
around. There will be no exhibits
held captive in plate-glass cases, but
rather what will be there will be in
working, operating form for the in
spiration of ambitious, young minds,
where everything will be comprehend
ed quickly, easily and graphically. The
exhibits are to be so displayed that
they will encourage investigation and
arouse the curiosity of youth to see
what makes the wheels go round.
The whole museum will be no dead
collection Of historic junk. 1t will be
a live place Of vividness and reality
where spectators will do things for
themselves"
Curiously enough, Benjamin Frank
lin will, himself, aid in the establish
ment of the museum, although he has
been dead nearly a century and half
Being devoted to the encouragement
of youthful ambitions, he did all in his
power to provide the financial backing
necessary to their fulfillment. One of
the funds established by Franklin,
now in the possession of the Franklin
institute, consists Of the greater pOr
ton of the philosophers original be-
quest of f100O to the city Of Philadel-
phia for the establishment Of loan

useful purposes.
Although the apprentice system has
passed, Franklin'S wishes will be crys-
talized through the institution which
his money will help to support-an in
stitution which will house activities
of the kind in which Franklin would
have reveled and whose purpose will
be to show the uses of natural science
for the advancement of industry and
the welfare of mankind
At his dinner, Mr.. Curtis declared

years ago. after 40 years. he said
philadelphia is starting to give Ben
jamin Franklin that memorial to
which his great career. his many
achievements and his services to this
city entitle him." Although in regard
to Franklin 1t can truly be said that
he not only belongs to America but to
the whole world, the city of Philadel-
phia has particular claim to him. so
it is eminently fitting that Americans
who would honor his memory should
go to the old Quaker city to pay their
homage at shrine erected in his
memory, for more than three score.

Floodlights That Color
Exterior of Buildings

The night scenes in the cities will
become gayer than ever if the scheme
of polychromatizing comes into gen.
eral use. The first polychromatic
floodlight system operated by Thyra-
tron tube control has been installed
on a building at Decatur, Ill. The
structure is rectangular up to the
sixth story, and from that point a
central tower-like section rises in
successive steps for nine stories more.
Nearly 200 floodlights are employed
in the exterior lighting. The central
section of the facade is luminous
white panel up to the eleventh floor.
From there to the top the polychro'
matte system tints each side of the
exterior with a different shade of
glowing illumination, changing con-
stantIy on each of the four Sides

gible form as stimulus to inventive
genius and cultural advancement.
This, in brief, is. to be the monu-
ment to Benjamin Franklin which the
Poor Richard club of Philadelphia has
been sponsoring for long time and
which is just now taking definite form.
For long time the people of Phil
adelphia knew that plans were in the
making for living tribute to the man
who had been the city's most diStin-
guished, resOurceful and productive
citizen. AT nearly every meeting of
the Poor Richard club in recent years
there was a report of the committee
working on the Franklin memorial.
Each time they reported progress, but
it was not until December, 1929, that
a definite announcement as to the
form of the monument was made. On
that date Cyrus III. X. Curtis, Phila-
delphia publisher and president of the
memorial corporation, gave a dinner
attended by 500 men, prominent in
civic, industrial and scientific affairs,
at which he told of the plan to erect
great museum, costing $5,000,000, on
the site opposite Logan Circle, tract
of land conservatively valued at
$3,00O,OOO, which has been leased from
the city for 80 years at 81 year.
The Franklin institute, which since
1925 has been working toward the de-
velopment of museum of the modern
sciences like the great Deutsches mu-
scum in Munich, is cooperating with
the Franklin memorial movement,
using its century-old collections Of
books, mechanical models and historic
documents as the basis for the larger
collection to be housed in the COM
pleted museum.
The memorial, which will have a
floor area of about 100000 square feet,
will be three stories in height. The
structure will house many evidences of
Franklin's greatness, and exhibits of
the progress of the nation in mechan-
ical arts and. sciences. A feature of
the first floor will be the great Zeiss
planetarium, showing an artificial sky,
the sun, moon, planets and 1900 fixed
stars, each precisely where it belongs
and each with its proper relative
brightness.
This floor also will contain a cham
Der devoted to a graphic description
of underground and undersea work,
a great exhibition hall, auditorium,
court Of honor and exhibits showing
the progress of mankind in the devel-
opment of electrical communication,
water supplies. railroad transporta-
ton, physics and chemistry.
A heroic statue of Franklin will oc-
cupy the center of the great rotunda.
The upper floors will contain astro-
nomical observatories, engineering ex-
hibitions, industrial plants and pro-
cesses, models of ships and aircraft
and research library.
