Economy In
Government,
League Plea

By TINES Special
SOUTH BEND, Ind. March 25.-
Womans answer to the question,
What's wrong with government in
Indiana and what remedies shall
We use?' was voiced in South Bend
Thursday, final day of the state
convention Of the Indiana League
Of Women Voters.
Leading the list of recommended
lions for legislative action was the
abolition Of township government
with various township functions to
be transferred to the county as
follows: Welfare work to a county
welfare board which would employ
trained and competent welfare
director for the county; township
schools to be placed under elected
county boards of education with
appointed superintendent; high
way building and care, the remain
ing important highway function,
to be transferred to county Off
Gals.
The women urge the abolition Of
the fee system in its entirety. They
would tighten up the financial adj
ministration Of the county by more
careful provision for preparation of
the budget and executive control OF
the budget; Of the central purchas-
ing department by elimination Of
the township government. Assess
ment of property would be under
the direction Of a county assessor.
1t was the thought of the con-
vention that some system of in
surfing fair assessment should be
evolved. The women suggested
long-range planning of needed pub
lie works with the view to reducing
gradually the bonded Indebtedness
Of the counties and placing them

basis.
Wider distribution of the gaso-
line fund to the counties is advo-
Gated to relieve counties of por-
ton of the tax on real property
used to maintain and build roads.

dents and treasurer the present off,

ton; Mrs. S. N. Campbell Indian
apolis, and Mrs, Ora T. Ross, Rens-
selaer, respectively, were reelected.
Mrs. Charles N. Teetor, Hagerston,
president, presided at all business
sessions.
The convention closed with an adj
dress by Professor Thomas H. Reed
of the University of Michigan who
urged the abolition of township gov
eminent as, obsolete and inef1-
cient.
Resolutions adopted at the con-
vention urged maintenance and en-
forcement of school attendance laws,
enactment and enforcement of child
welfare laws, ratification of the
amendment to the federal Consti-
tuition abolishing the lame duck"
session of congress, and protested
against proposed reductions in ap-
preparations for the children
bureau.

the disturbed wife. Her power to
attract the husband is gone, and
the only satisfaction left to the
would-be love thief is to wound the
wife continuously by bringing the
past to her attention.
My dear Mrs. Worry, there are

they are ignored. Why take this
woman seriously? She is a thor
oughly childish, silly person, whom
you should credit with no power
whatsoever. She isn't worth a pass

can prove to you that she is
not the type that any wife needs to
fear. When man engages in a
secret romance, the last thing he
wants is publicity. The woman who
faunts herself boldly in front of her
paramour's wife kills her attraction
for him in the surest possible way.
The only woman you or any wife
has to fear is the one who knows
how to keep her mouth shut. It is
the companionable woman, who,
while seemingly effacing herself,
really succeeds in becoming an in
dispensable part of a mans life.
She takes the shine of his wife
by being superior to her. No woman
who makes herself as cheap as this
one has is endowed with an ounce
OF power. Give her all the rope
she needs and she'll hang herself.

Legislation Before Congress
There should be a change in
policy in dealing with public
lands if we are to preserve their
value for grazing and other pur-
poses. The Committee on Con-
servation and Administration of
the Public Domain, authorized
by act of the Congress approved
April 10, 1880, completed the
task assigned to it a year ago.
Its report has been trans
mitted to Members of the Con-
gress.

Of painstaking study and earnest
deliberation. They offer a solu-

with this remnant of our public
domain, which have persisted
for the past IS years. I COM
mend the report to the atten-
ton Of the Congress, deeming
the legislation of sufficient i'm.
portance to justify early action.

only in much greater efficiency

We do not need further addi'

The conversation of water by
storage, not alone in the West,
but in all parts Of the coun-
try.
The effective development Of
water conservation through stor-
age is largely an interstate
question in the aid of domestic
and industrial water supply,
transportation, irrigation, and
flood control. Where construc-
ton work for storage relates to
these larger issues, it is properly
the work Of the Federal Gov
ernment. Where water power is
developed as a by-product, it
should be disposed of in ad-
vance by contracts which will
fairly reimburse the Govern
ment for its outlay.
Reclamation Service
The Reclama tion Service
should be extended to cover
these broad purposes of storage
and conservation Of water rather
than the narrow purpose of ir-
rigation.

In the prevention and treatment Of the

day, it showed power to reduce the num-
Der of colds at least 50%, often 66%.

Such results are made possible because
Listerine is safe in action. That is, it does
