THEY TELL NE

and vice committeeman together
with postal card:
1--WE think it is about time that we
who really do the work in elections
have something to say about the
distribution Of patronage. Ward
chairmen are appointees Of the
county chairman and while we have
no particular criticism to offer re-
garding the holders of these offices,
we do not feel that we, as elected
officers, have received the proper
credit for the winning of the election.
"This Is the time for precinct
committeeman and women to, get
together. If you feel the same way
about it just sign the enclosed card,
mail it and further information will
Re sent you.
"This is a real movement" the
pronunciamento continues and will
result in making this Office more
important in the eyes of officials
and Others"
Although patronage is the osten-
sible reason for this movement,
there are many party leaders who
profess to see in it the sign of an
attempt Of a certain group of dis
contented to hold the balance of
power in the next county conven-
ton, name their own choice for
county chairman and thus gain con-
troll Of the county organization.
This gang is a cipch to lose" is
the prediction of other party work.
ers.
It's a peculiar thing that the
Democrats can never stand pros
perity-past history of the party
proves this.
No matter how roseate are pros
poets for a victory, the Democrats
seem to find some way to lose. And
the easiest way is internal dissen-
sion.

AFFIRM STAND
ON MARRIAGE
BY TEACHERS
School Board Again Sets
Out Attitude Toward
Employment.

Reaffirmation Of the Indianapolis
school board stand on the employ
ment of married teachers - voted
at meeting Tuesday night when
the statement of policy adopted
May II was readopted, with some
slight changes, in phraSeology sug-
geSted by the boards attorneys.
This program practically is iden-
teal with the one previously adopted
and provides that married women
will not be recommended for initial
employment.
Teachers married or unmarried,
whether permanent teachers under
tenure or teaching their first five
years, whose records are continu-
ouSly unsatisfactory will not be rec
ommented for retention after this
fact has been concluSively estab-
liShed."
Women teachers who marry with
in the first five years of their teach
ing experience will not be recon-
mended for reappointment. 1t is
felt, the resolution said, that it
is against the best interests of the
schools for husband and wife to
teach in the same building or sys-
tenn.
The board approved a plan for
reducing the cost of textbooks to
pupils in elementary schools next
year by from l to II cents a COPY.
This is to be accomplished by
lowering the handling costs which
totaled $4,000 last year. The school
city received approximately 100000
from books and made a gross profit
of $1,000. The profit Of Is per cent
will be reduced to 8 per cent, A. B.
Good, business manager, said.
A resolution for temporary loan
Of $4,000 for the special fund pend
ing receipt of taxes was passed by
the board under suspension of the
rules.
Captain F. F. McCrea was re-
appointed military supply officer
with a salary Of $4,000 annually.

BY BEN STERN

TINE red banner of revolt has
n been unfurled to the breeze in
the Marion county Democratic or
ganization.
The cause? You guessed right.
It's patronage.
AS has been declared time after
time, the job trough causes more
internal strife than any other sin
gle factor.
How along come Louis Wolverton,
Nineteenth precinct Tenth ward
committeeman; J. j. McGovern,
Twenty-third precinct Tenth ward
committeeman, and Chris Hoffman,
former city hall custodian and as
pirant for the nomination for
county commissioner in 1880, with
an attempt to organize the COM
mitteemen.
The bone of contention is that
their patronage requests were not
needed.

sion to the safety board to locate
a fire station at 5545 North Illinois

The safety board withdrew an all

Bosom, representing the Butler
Fairview Civic League.
The safety board plans to locate
another new station probably at

PIpED GAS PLAN
/ DEALT BLOW BY
/ STATE OFFICIAL
Can Not Compete With
Home Manufacturer Says
Dr.. Hewitt.

Indianapolis manufacturers con-
tentions to the contrary, natural gas
piped from southern oil fields can
not compete with Indiana coal in
production Of cheap power, it was
asserted today by Dr.. John w.
Hewitt. secretary Of the Indiana
coal bureau at the Statehouse.
DR.. Hewitt has compiled a COM
plete chart Of comparative figures
showing the B. T. u. content Of
natural gas and Indiana coal. He
was prepared to introduce the
figures at the hearing before the
public service commission Thursday.
But the hearing has been post
poned until Aug. IL. 1t is on the
petition of the Manufacturers
Natural Gas Association, Inc, to
introduce natural gas here and
break the monopoly Of the Citizens
Gas Company at a time when the
latter company is about to become
municipality owned.
Chairman John w. McCardle, who
was to have conducted the hearing.
announced that 1t had been post
poned by agreement. The directors
are the city, utility district trustees
and the indianapolis Federation Of
Community Civic Clubs.
DR.. HeWitt's table gives 1925 a
ton as the average price for Indiana
power coal, which will produce o.
100000 3. T. U. per ton. This would
mean that the gas must be sold at
8.8 cents per LOCO cubic feet to
compete, he said This is cheaper
than it can be had at the wells.
Hewitt contends, let alone piping it
hundreds Of miles to Indianapolis.
His figures, he explained, are
taken from the United States bu-
reau Of standards and Purdue test
ing laboratories.

Claude G.. Bowers on Debt Suspension

Treasury, without congressional
approval. And happily there is
no politics involved. 1t is not
Republican or Democratic
policy that is proposed, but an
American policy; and the pur-
pose is to relieve a threatening
world condition.
Many Leaders Eager
To Cooperate
The President has shown
wisdom in asking the co-opera-
tion of Democratic members of
Congress and many of the
leaders have heartily agreed to
cooperate.
There can be no doubt as to
the nature of the conversa-
tions at Chequers between Ram
say Macdonald and the Ger
man Chancellor; and of course
we know that Germany was
told that nothing could be done
to relieve the distress of the
Germans without the initiative
of this country.
A heavy responsibility was
put upon us. And having
hitherto assumed a stiff unyield-
ing position, we were not con-
tributing anything to our inter.
national popularity.
American Position
Becoming Impossible
Our position was rapidly be-
coming impossible. We have
insisted that our debtors shall
continue to pay according to
the bond. Then we passed a
tariff act. certain greatly to re-
duce the capacity of our debtors
to pay. We sought a method to
make it impossible for them to
sell to us.
We did all we could through
this barbaric tariff act to
weaken the economic structure
of our debtors. And along with
this we. have insisted that these
debtors continue their payments
to us.
Under such conditions, of
course, our debtors were not in
position to offer any conces-
sions to the Germans.
1t was clearly up to us. No
one else could stop the push
ing.
And no great craftsmanship
was involved. The plan pro-
posed has been thought newt
able for a long while by ordi-
nary men in the street.
And there is something else
we can do;srevise the tariff law
which raises stone wall against
foreign trade.
