UNIVERSITY STORY
NOW AT THE PALACE

"Old-Grads" from Yale university
and the many thousands who have
visited the campus, will enjoy
"Huddle," which is now on view at
the Palace.
The most extensive technical
preparation ever made for a col
lege story distinguished many
authentic backgrounds for the pro-
duction. A staff of men hired from
the university spent several months
about the campus filming the many
different scenic beauties with NOV
ing-picture and still cameras.
Reproductions of these famous
buildings and quadrangles we're built
on the M-G-M lot, among them,
Fayerweather hall, Berkely oval,
Connecticut hall, Lawrence hall and
Mory's Association. An exterior of
the New Yale art school" which
contains a priceless treasure of old
masterpieces, was also duplicated.
Original Rembrandts and etchings
worth millions hang in this beau
tiful structure on the campus.
A section of the Hardness me-
mortal quadrangle" which is con-
sidered to be the finest example of
Gothic architecture in the United
States, is another scenic back
ground. In the original structure
it is said that the multitude of
chiseled designs decorating the
walls make it possible to find some
thing new every day throughout a
students entire course at the uni
versity.
All OF the interior settings are
exact in every detail. with fixtures
and furniture in duplication of the
dormitories and other quarters for
students.
The technical men who filmed the
sr,ecial campus material acted as
advisors to the production depart
ment during filming Of the picture.
In addition to this correct atmos-
phere in settings, football experts
from leading American universities
took part in the thrilling game Sc
quenceS.
Such stars as Ernie Pinckert,

Agriculture

It is fundamental that our basic
industry, agriculture, shall be re-
stored as the first and foremost
move in the great reconstruction
program which paves the way out Of
the world depression for America.
Throughout its history, the Re-
publican party has recognized the
fundamental significance and justice
of the demands Of the farmer for
fair treatment, a fair chance and a
market. His problems are being
worked out progressively, and the
Repr lean party stands pledged to
the practical application of broad
fundamental principles to the
speedy solution of those problems.
No element in our business and
industrial structure can stand alone.
The forming industry depends upon
the restored buying power Of the
urban and town population just as
the remainder of the nations in
duStries depend for survival upon
the restored buying power Of the
farmer. The farm problem Is as
broad as the nation, and farm well
fare comprehends the national we'll
being. This means that agricul-
ture must receive equal treatment
with all other industries under the
protective tariff system. The Re-
publican party is the one agency
through which this essential equal
ity is to be brought about.

Delegation in Congress

We are proud to indorse the rec
ord Of Senators James E. Watson
and Arthur F. Robinson and the In
diana Republican members of the
house of representatives. Their
services to the nation have been
faithful, untiring and outstanding,
and bring great credit to the state
Of Indiana.
During the recent crisis, remedial
legislation has found expression in
many measures to meet specific
emergencies. In the enactment of
those measures into law, our Re-
publican senators and congressman
have been conspicuous in party
counsel and party leadership. We
feel a justifiable pride in sharing in
the credit and honor of their
achievement.
Indiana has been specially hon
ored in the recognition of leader
ship of Senator Watson. His faith
full and efficient leadership has been
a potent factor in the enactment of
legislation OF fundamental need and
of national and international i'm
port.

State Administration

The administration of Harry G.
Leslie has set high mark for con-
structive achievement in Indiana
history. Governor Leslie's agrees
sivenesS, initiative, intimate knowl-
edge of and close contact with state
affairs and state institutions, have
made him available as a leader of
his people.
He has been conspicuously active
on behalf OF business methods,
economy in management, the we'll
being of the states unfortunates,
the distribution of unemployment
relief, in support of our nonparti-
san system of institutional control,
and in the maintenance of the best
Hoosier traditions and ideals.
He has recognized representatives
of labor by appointment to posi-
ton of public honor and trust, and
has been attentive to the welfare
OF workers in the fields of industry,
agriculture and commerce.

T xation

Just as farm relief and general
economic restoration are bound to-
gether, SO is unjust taxation tragic
factor in the farmers distressing
situation. The man on the land
and the home owner alike are taxed
beyond endurance, and pay more
than their fair share of the costs
of government. The tax load must
be broadened and lightened in order
that the farmer and home owner
may survive.
Equitable distribution Of the tax
burden over the various classes Of
tangibles and intangioles is one of
our vital constitutional needs.
At the same time, there is an ur-
gent and immediate call for prac-
teal tax relief in every direction.
The Indiana general assembly will
meet July 7 in special session and
we urge that their activities be con-
fined to measures for reduction of
expenditures and to questions of
taxation.
We favor repeal, where advisable,
of mandatory salary and tax levy
laws affecting the various taxing
units. We favor elimination of local
gravel road repair fund tax levieS
and the use of gasoline tax money,
by the state returned to the locali-
ties, for maintenance of local roads.

Public Utilities

1t is the belief of the Republican
party that the state of Indiana, I'M
hampered by federal agencies,
should exercise its right to regulate
public utilities operating within this
state. The state has created an
agency for the purpose of regulat-
ing utilities-the public service
commission-which is required by
law to safeguard the interest of the
public in the establishment of rea-
sonable rates for utility services and
at the same time permit a reason
able earning by the utilities.
Legislation is being proposed be-
fore congress which will serve to
strengthen state control by limiting
federal judicial interference with
rates and regulation, leaving the
widest right of judicial review to our
state courts.
Rates for utility service should be
fixed with due regard for present
changed economic conditions and
considered in connection with low
cred cost of production and the
ability of the consumer to pay for
utility service.
The right of municipalities to &C
quire and operate public utility
plants as provided by law should
be protected.

treated on basis of equality when
it comes to providing the oppor-
tunity for schooling, it must be
accepted as fundamental that dras-
tic economy should prevail in the
field of education as in all other
activities. Our schools have an
opportunity to set an example of
thrift and sanity during the pres
ent economic emergency.
We recognize that certain tax
costs charged in the name of educa-
ton are improper, and must be
eliminated; and we propose that
legislation and administration pro-
vide to that end.
Further, we favor a policy of leg
iSlative action that will make it pos
sible for local communities to es-
tabliSh larger units of administra-
ton and for school purposes, and
thereby reduce taxation; and we
favor and urge every economy in
school administration which can be
made that will not be at the ex-
penSe of the child.
