ENERAL dissatisfaction with
NJ the Democratic Office holders
swept into power in the 1890 cleo
ton is evinced in Lake county.
Although no concrete basis for
disapproval is given, there seems to
be a decided undercurrent Of dis
content, which in the main is To-
mented by Republican workers.
One cause for complaint is that
the Democratic officials "are not of
as high type as could be DESIRED"
as one man put it.
Politicians attribute this to the
fact that never having won an cleo
ton in Lake county, the Demo-
cratic county leaders we're forced
to draft names in order to have a
full ticket.
A case in point is that of Robert
Estill, Lake county prosecutor, an
ex-preacher, and now a persistent
luncheon club orator.
Democratic ire is aroused because
Estill insists in each address that he
is a nonpartisan prosecutor, as
Lake county is normally. Republican
and therefore both parties elected
him. Yet Estill declares that he is
a logical Democratic choice for at
torney-general.
The joker in the entire Lake
county situation is the fact that for
years the Democrats shouted in
favor of placing the county officials
on salary basis to put hundreds
of thousands of dollars Of fees in
the county treasury.

The cry for a salary system was
worked to death in all campaigns
Then to their CONSERVATION, a
Democratic house under flaggella-
tion) passed salary bill after the
members of the party were elected
to county Office. The common plant
there now is:

Not Relinquish Claims.
BIZ United Press
PARIS, Aug. 17.-France never
will relinquish her claim to repara-
tons from Germany, Pierre Etienne
Flandlin, minister Of Finance, de-
clared today.
Flandin, in an interview, said that
nations such as the United States
we're entitled to dispose of their
reparationS as they wished, but that
France intended to insist on Ger
many'S making the scheduled pay
ments.
IF world prosperity could be re-
stored by the annulment of debts,
there should be no reason why neu-
trail countries without war debts
should be in state Of crisis almost
as great as Germany Flandin said.

NATIONAL GUARD
PURCHASE FINAL
STEP IN CHANGE
Commercial Aviation Moves
to Municipal Field as
Lease Is Ended.
cURTISS MOVING OUT
Exodus Completes Return
of Mars Hill Site to
Military Use.

Exodus, beginning today, Of Cur
tiss-Wright Flying Service from
Stout field. Mars Hill, will see
complete transition of one Of the
city's major commercial aviation cen
ters Of two years ago, and the re-
turn Of the airport to a strictly mil
itary field.
Purchased originally by the state
for the One hundred thirteenth OBJ
servation squadron, Indiana ma
tional guard, the field was trans
formed into a commercial port sew
eral years ago when Curtiss- Wright
obtained a fifty-year lease and
erected the most elaborate hangar
in the vicinity.
Embry-Riddle, an air mail and
passenger division of American Air
ways, and Transcontinental Air
Transport, now Transcontiental and
Western Air, Inc, also went to the
field, the latter constructing it's own
buildings between the squadron's
hangers and Curtiss-W Wright base.
Several private pilots and clubs
operated from the field.
Removal in Two Weeks
Thus Stout field became not only
a military field, but the most i'm
portant commercial port in the city.
However, when municipal airport
was completed, both passenger and
mail lines and several private
owners transferred there.
Saturday, Curtiss- Wright relin-
pushed its lease and sold its
hangar to the squadron, and, leav-
ing the field, will be the last COM
mercial aviation enterprise to use
the state port.
Equipment not purchased by the
squadron will be moved from the
field within two weeks, and the
squadron is expected to take pos
session of the buildings within
two weeks, and the squadron is ex-
pected to take possession of the
buildings within from ten days to
two weeks, according to Major
Richard F. Taylor, commanding
officer.
The squadron will be in monopoly
of the field within thirty days, he
predicted. Its quarters in the ma
tional guard armory downtown will
be given up, and the space in the
new hangar and in the small build
ingS erected by TAT will be utilized
for Offices, the major said.
Squadron Back From Camp
The hangers are heated, and will
house all planes owned by the
guard.
The squadron returned to Sout
field Sunday after two weeks an
nual training at Camp Knox, KY,
with the Thirty eighth division of
national guard troops, Of which it
is the air unit.
Army air corps, inspectors, watch
ing the squadron operate at camp,
gave it high rating, Major Taylor
said. One officers said it was the
best national guard squadron in the
United States, from military and
flying points Of view.
All equipment used at camp is be-
ing checked this week, and one
plane, due for major overhaul but
damaged in minor crash at camp,
is to go to Fairview depot to be re-
built.

NEW YORK, Aug. 1.-THE
American Legion is assailed as a
subsidy seeking group of lobbyists,
and exemption of college football
from taxation is attacked today by
the Carnegie Foundation.
DR.. Henry S. Pritchett, retiring
president, in the annual report of
the foundation, published today,
said:
1.-The claim that the country owes
a subsidy to every citizen who has
served sixty or ninety days in it's
military service is an irnpudent and
unwarranted claim. To admit 1t
would strike at the very roots Of
patriotism itself.
"The moment citizen calls on
the government for subsidy,
whether in the form of bonus or
old-age pension, for a service that
neither has affected unfatorably his
health, nor his ability to earn
living, he abandons his position as
a patriot"
College Football Hit
DR.. Pritchett accused leaders of
the Legion of initiating the G. A. r.
in raiding the United States treas
ury and warned that giving every
former soldier a bonus would place
a staggering and intolerable burden
on the nation.
THE commercializing Of football
and its transformation from a game
into a public show for money raises
an interesting question concerning
taxation" DR.. Pritchett said. He
suggested that colleges and UNIVERSE
ties which have tremendous incomes
from football carry their share OF
the burden of govern ant."

sites do little better than fresh

Believes Change Urgent
ITO deserve the name of an edu-
cational institution, college, in its
organization and emphasis, should
clearly not be concerned primarily
with raw information, but with the
thinking processes that alone con-
vert such information into effective
knowledge" declared w. S. Learned,
