FEDERAL
GAS SALE TAX
Indiana Petroleum Group Is
Against Plan.

Campaign to prevent a gas tax
increase and to defeat the federal
plan of placing Accent tax on oil
has been launched by the Indiana
Petroleum Association, listing more
than 300 members in Indiana, Ken
lucky and Ohio, Max L. Wicker
sham, executive secretary, an
nounced today.
Protest petitions, declaring the
proposed new tax threatens the ex-
istence of oil and gas manufactur-
ers and dealers, have been circu-
lated among 100000 motorists in
the state, according to Wickersham.
THE power to stop this constant
ly growing mania of the lawmaker
to use the oil industry and its GUS
toners to finance the state and fed
eral government only can be
stopped by a vigorous protest from
the constituency of voting power of
the ultimate consumer.
IF these tax burdens increase on
the motorist, the sale of gasoline
will be cut materially and the auto
mobile industry will lose sales of
many. cars. Sale of tires will be de-
creased and all industries allied
with automotive manufacture and
use will lose heavily"

Sensible Way to
Lose Fat

Start taking Kruschen Salts to-
day-that,s the common-sense, safe,
harmless way to reduce.
This is what they do-they clean
out the impurities in your blood by
keeping the bowels, kidneys and
liver in splendid working shape and
fill you with a vigor and tireless en-
ergy you'd most forgotten had ex-
listed.
AS a result. instead of planting your
self in an easy chair every free moment
and letting fabby fat accumulate you
feel an urge for activity that keeps you
moving around doing the things you've
always wanted to do and needed to do
to keep you in good condition.
Be careful of the foods you eat-gO
light on fatty meats and pastry-then
watch the pounds slide off
Take one half teasroonful in a glass
Of hot water tomorrow morning and
every morning-and if they don't
change your whole idea about reducing.

paid for them. Get & bottle of Krus

Vaughan attempts to make the
mother played by Judith Lowry, an
extreme modern person whose ideas
of morals, purity, happiness and
murder are very conflicting.
The play has plenty of talk, too
much so for a good play, and even
the solution Of the problem left me
still troubled.
Even the good work of Mrs.
Lowry and the careful work of
Mary Allen as Nurse Wayland did
not relieve me of my troubled con-
ception or reception Of this play.
To me the play is unpleasant
theater and according to my rules
of review is a poor play. I know
that there is a vast difference of
opinion regarding the literary worth
of this Vaughan play.
This difference Of opinion has
been found in other cities where it
has been presented. Mrs. Lowry
played this role in Chicago for
many weeks.
Hale Mackeen, the director, ap-
pears as the invalid husband in the
first act and does a convincing
piece of work Ruth Hayes as
Stella, the wife, did not convince
me that the character was capable
of receiving a great love and then
throwing it away.
OF course Mrs. Lowry has a big
scene in the last act when she adj
mits, not confesses, that she gave
the overdose of sleeping powder to
her son for the reason that she did
not want her son to destroy his
lovely dream about his wife.
Sherwood Blue, Jane Sky, David
Milligan and David Clarke are
others in the cast. The set and the
lights are right.

THEY TELL ME

however, that the margin of VIC
tory was only 162 votes, may react
against the Bedford man.
Both men represent entirely diff
ferent schools of social and eco
nomic thought. Grove Is a liberal
although he has not announced on
prohibition, but is opposed to the
sales tax, wants federal backing of
banking to insure deposits, imme-
date relief for the unemployed.
and would curtail public utility
domination.
Garfield is conservative and for
years has been one of the ring
tailed leaders of the monkey house.
AS member of the ways and means
committee, he partly is responsible
for conception of the sales tax
monstrosity, which makes the
burden heavier on working and
middle class citizens and enables
the higher bracket incomes to es-
cape as lightly and easily as pos
sible.
Grove is expected to take the
field against Garfield with the sales
tax and liberal legislation as an
issue, thus putting the senior con-
gresham on the defensive.
Well look at the picture in the
Fourth and Sixth districts Thurs
day.

THREE interesting congressional
Il battles loom for the primary
May and give the only touch of
color to an otherwise dull event.
The two best stand-up and slam
bang affairs will be in the new
Ninth, where two Democratic con-
gressmen, thrown into the same
district by the 1881 redistricting act
and representing divergent schools
of thought, will vie; and in the new
Sixth, where two Republicans will
contest.
Seven aspirants are seeking the
Democratic nomination in the new
Fourth; and five avowedly are
against continuance of prohibition;
one is a dry, and the Seventh will
abide by the platform adopted by
the national convention.
To discuss as fully as possible the
contests in the three districts and
analyze the points of difference of
the candidates, this column will be
divided into two sections.
Today's is devoted to the new
Ninth, where Eugene Grove of Bed
ford, a tyro at the congressional
end of politics, although he has
served as city, county and district
chairman. has as his adversary,
Harry Garfield of Batesville, vet
eran of five congresses and a sim
liar number of primary and cleo
ton battles.
This is Groves first term and he
performed the unexpected when he
defeated the tried and trained
James w. Dunbar of New Albany
in the 1890 election. The fact,

LIBERIA is SENT
WARNING NOTE
IN SLAVE QUIZ
Two European Powers Join
u. S. in Protest on
Negro Peonage.
BY JOSEPH II. BAIRD
United Press stan Correxoondent


WASHINGTON, March 16.-The
state department, the United Press
learned today, has made strong
representations to the Liberian gov
eminent against mistreatment of
natives who revealed slavery con-
ditions In the Negro republic.
Great Britain and another I'M
named European power joined the
United States in protesting. The
American note was delivered to the
government of President Barclay
by the United States legation in
Monrovia March 7, it was learned.
The protests followed reports that
Barclays frontier force has been
committing Expectations on the
Kru tribe of natives. Members of
this band gave a League of Nations
investigation committee, sent to
Liberia recently, information about
slavery conditions. In return, the
natives we're promised protection
and immunity.
Dispatch Of this new note re-
called the vigorous protest the state
department filed with the African
republic in 1890. 1t then charged,
on the basis Of League of Nations
report, that former President King
and Vice-President Yancy had sane
toned virtual slavery, despite their
previous promise to stamp it out.
Only a few weeks later the league
made public report on Liberian
slavery that shocked the world. 1t
told of helpless blacks being shipped
as slaves to the penal colony at
Fernando Pc. 1t told of road la
borers being beaten brutally and
having their necks crushed under
heavy baskets of stone. 1t told of
children being offered as "pawns"
for debts.

and must have it regardless Of
the consequences to others"
That is one reason why others
in power seem so slow to move.
If they are good rulers they
must consider each problem in
it's relationship to other groups.
Not that there isn't too much
red tape in many instances and
a lot of lobbying and obstruc-
ton thrown up by private in
terests and individuals.
But the real statesman will
not be rushed into decisions
that affect a very large group
without undue deliberation.
Often committees are too
large to get anywhere definitely
because of a confusion of ideas,
but to talk of what you would

Rosebery Proposed
A Plan of Reform

Many years before, a full
generation, Rosebery had
urged that the r eers reform
themselves as a protection
against their ultimate de-
struction.
He even then had fore
seen the situation that de-
veloped in 1907. He was
sure there was pler ~ to re-
form in the House of Lords
and was positive that unless
the peers did the reforming,
their enemies would, and
that the result would be
bad. But no one else among
the peers had been alarmed.
Twenty years later, vindi-
Gated by events, Rosebery
renewed his attempt. For
some years the question of
the position of the hereditary
chamber in the government
