manded extravaganza in govern
ment to insist just as strongly on
drastic retrenchment and on re-
turn to that cardinal simplicity in
government which the fathers had
in mind and which the economic
emergency demands. We must get
back to a government prepared to
operate in all its parts, efficiently
and without extravaganza, usefully
but not luxuriouSly.
In considering ways and means
to bring about economy and rea-
sonable expenditures in government,
it is well to give thought to con-
solicitations OF bureaus, depart
ments, Offices and jobs, and to the
feasibility of permitting the people
to merge their own taxing units as
a means of doing away with I'M
necessary governmental expenses.
The people in the counties and
townships should have the right
and power to take action for the
elimination of SuperfiuouS govern
mental organizations.
AAAJ ACfAoAOAl VI Vic 0IIuCbtuC VI
county and township government
should be brought about with the
idea of eliminating overlapping
functions and obsolete units and to
focus responsibility without harm
fully curtailing essential govern
mental functions.
There is no escape from the fact
that impaired incomes and reduced
valuations call for reduced expendi-
lures in government. People in all
walks of life have been adversely
affected by the depression. Those in
the public service will not ask for
immunity or special favors in the
presence of q general and necessary
drive for retrenchment.
Public pay rolls should be revised
in accord with the economic con-
ditionS revealed by an all-embrac-
ing emergency. All public fees
should be turned in for government
use and not go to enrich indi-
viduals.
All public officials should be re-
quired to pay the same federal in
come tax exacted from other citi-
zens.

Highways

Indiana's expanding system Of
good roads is a source Of pride. Our
highways, which have earned ma
tion-wide praise, have been we'll
built on a "pay-as-we-go" basis.
This sound policy, applied agrees
sively and efficiently under Repub-
lican administrations, has been vim
dicated many times over.
We have reached a stage in the
development of our highways when
we may reasonably anticipate and
properly advocate modification of
the intensive activity of recent
years. The road system should con-
tinue to expand, but on a basis ad-
justed to public needs and economic
conditions as indicated by the rev.
enues from a fair auto and gasoline
tax allotment.
County road building, save for
emergency needs, should be tempo
rarily held in allegiance.

Veterans

The Republican party reaffirms
and acknowledges it's debt of graf
itude to all veterans of all wars.
These men both saved and perpetu-
ated our nation. We believe that all
facilities should be increased mate
rally for the welfare of all disabled
soldiers of all wars, and we pledge
the enactment of legislation to that
end.
AS a matter of economy and also
in the interest of the veterans we
advocate that in all emergency
cases, when immediate facilities are
unavailable in government hospitals
and institutions, disabled veterans
shall be cared for in local hospitals
at government expense.
We are exceedingly proud of the
record of our party in recognizing
the real worth of our veterans in
placing many of them in positions
Of honor and trust.

100000 ISSUE
FOR PAVING 0. K.
Council Acts on Four Major
Street Projects.

City council passed an ordinance
at a special session Wednesday pro-
viding for a 100000 bond issue to
defray the city's share of costs of
four major street improvements. 4.
The issue was sold tentatively
last week to Campbell & Co., of
Indianapolis.
The special meeting was neces-
sary as result of Councilman
Charles G. Morgan'S negative vote
On motion to pass the ordinance
under suspension of the rules Mon
day night.
Morgan Wednesday repeated his
charges that the works board had
awarded the contract for widen
ing Sixteenth street to an Illinois
company which was paying only
1715 cents an hour to labor.
E. Kirk Mckinney, president of
the works board, told the council
that the board gave the contract to
the Illinois firm because it was
$4,000 lower than its nearest COM
petitor.
I'VE prefer giving contracts to
local firms wherever everything is
equal, but certainly don't feel the
property owners should be penalized
$4,000 just to maintain that policy"
Mckinney declared.

EConomy-PubIiC Expense

Retrenchment in public expendi-
lures is one open road to tax relief.
This means drastic reductions in
the cost of government in all tax
ing units. We are proud to point
to the fact that the state of Indi-
ana is one of the very few states
free of debt. We call attention to
the fact that IndianaS state tax
levy is among the lowest in the
country However, the weight of
governmental expenses imposed by
the local taxing units within the
state must be reduced drastically,
and there is call for careful Scru-
tiny of expenditures in all taxing
units, including the state itself.
Governmental costs have been
mounting steadily for many years.
Luxuries have been engrafted on
the public service, extravaganza func-
tons have been added to govern
ment on the demand of groups and
blocs of citizens, until, in a period
of depression, these pyramided &C
tivities have brought about inor-
dinately high taxes and conf1sca-
ton of property

Temperance

The Republican party is the party
of the Constitution and we stand
for its complete observance as well
as for the faithful enforcement of
all laws. However, we recognize an
honest difference of opinion among
our citizens regarding the eight
zenith amendment. We acknowledge
the right Of the people who or
dained the Constitution to pass
upon that instrument or any part
of it, at any time;
Therefore, We recommend that
the congress of the United States
Immediately submit a proposal for
the repeal of the eighteenth amend
ment to the federal Constitution.
Said proposal to be submitted
for ratification or rejection by nom
partisan conventions of the people
of the several states called for that
sole purpose in accordance with
the provisions of article Five of
the Constitution of the United
States.
Should the eighteenth amendment
be repealed, we pledge our best eff
forts toward the enactment of such
measures in the state of Indiana as
actually will promote temperance,
effectively abolish the saloon,
whether open or concealed, and
bring the liquor traffic itself under
complete public supervision and
control, with revenues properly
drawn from legalized sources for re-
lief of the burdened taxpayers.
We also recommend the repeal of
the so-called "bone dry" laws of
Indiana and favor the enactment of
such measures as will conform to
the federal enforcement acts.

policy, the diversified industries Of
our nation have been builded and
developed. To that policy, business
of every character, salaries and
wages have been adjusted. Change
in that policy can result only in
further disturbance of the general
business Of our country and serious
ly affect the welfare of all our
people.
We are pledged TO the principle
Of protection for American agri-
culture, American labor and Amer
lean industry, measured by the diff
ference in cost Of production at
home and abroad To quicken the
business pace, we must preserve
home markets for ourselves.
We are opposed unalterably to
international conferences determin-
ing the economic policy of our
country.
We reaffirm the Republican policy
of strict control Of immigration. In
the interest of both native and for
eign-born wage earners, this is
necessary.
We maintain the traditional
American policy of non-interfer-
ence in the political affairs of other
nations. This government definitely
has refused membership in the
League of Nations and to assume
any obligations under the covenant
of the league. On this we stand.
We oppose the cancellation of for
eign debts as an unfair effort to
shift the cost of the World war to
the American taxpayer. In short,
we declare in favor of a policy of
preserving America for Americans
in harmony with our national ira
ditions, ideas and principles.

National Administration

We commend and indorse the
patriotic leadership of President
Herbert Hoover during the world
turmoil and business distress of
the past three years. Amidst I'M
fair and bitter criticism of political
opponents and demagogues, he has
not yielded to opportunities for
support of questionable measures to
gain approval of their advocates,
nor has he lost faith in the integ-
rity and ability of our people to
solve problems and overcome diff
cultieS growing out of worldwide
business depression.
President Hoover has distin-
guiShed himself as a man with a
definite national program. He has
been resourceful in suggesting
means to strengthen and to extend
agencies of government for the
purpose of aiding in the solution of
the manifold problems of the ma
ton. And we pay him our tribute
for his splendid leadership in these
critical times.

~ HE Republican party
Il state platform presented
delegates at the convention
today included O plank for
repeal of the eighteenth
amendment and for repeal of
the state "bone dry" Ld1Os.
We, the Republicans Of Indiana,
in state convention assembled, re-
affirm our faith in and pledge our
loyalty TO the principles Of the Re-
publican party.
We meet under conditions abnor-
NAL at home and abroad. Through
out the world, we recognize insta-
bility Of governments, widely ex-
tended unemployment, and have
witnessed changes and partial col
lapse Of financial systems, all Of
which complicate and make more
difficult our domestic problems.
All sections Of our country and all
classes Of our citizens are feeling
the heavy hand Of economic de-
preston and are looking to gov
ernmental action to aid in the So
luton of their economic problems.
Legislation is not cure-all, but
1t can go far TO clear the channels
Of trade and provide opportunity
for the development and exercise of
the productive energies OF the people
and to promote the general welfare.
Governmental policies should be
adjusted to meet changed and
changing conditions, but this is no
time to experiment with radical
doctrines of government.
There are those who would seize
upon the adversely Of the present
to institute and establish policies Of
government that would overthrow
the cherished institutions of the
nation. ''-'..-
Against all such movements, by
whatever name they may be known,
the Republican party stands un-
alterably committed.
The business of our country shall
be restored. The enemies of our
form Of government shall not sue

Opposition to high water rates and

Companys appeal for increases

Owners Association.
There is no justification. what
Soever, in the petition for restora-

OF $3.50 instead of the $1.0S mini

The water company announced
it would fight for a return to the
$3.50 minimum rate, after eight
apartment owners secured a court
order preventing enforcement of the
compromise rate schedule.
This schedule increased rates of
large water consumers.
Our organization believes the
present rate schedules of the In

eral years ago, and on which pres
ent rates are based" association Of

American labor has the inalien-
able right to deal collectively and
to work unitedly for the mainte-
nance of American wage and living
standards made possible under the
American system of protection-a
cardinal policy of the Republican
party. The attitude and patriotism
of wage earners in face of hard
ships due to worldwide depression
have been beyond praise.
Prison labor should be employed,
but competition of the products of
prison labor with the products OF
