"Cal.' Coolidge's Alibi For Himself And Plea For Hoover
 Gets Hot Retort From Press
His Failure To Repress Overspeculation, and Sue cessor's Inaction In Early Stages of Depression
 Severely Criticized by Leading Papers

two-generation republican doc- Urine, to be sure."
 The New York Journal of Com merce, referring to MT Coolidge's plea to stop blaming MT Hoover for conditions of the depression de- clares that the blame more cor rectly belongs to MT Coolidge him. self," but adds
 "Mr Hoover must be blamed primarily for having followed, up to last summer, that same policy of laissez-faire and in-action which has been largely respons- ible for the disasters of the past three years. The cowardly, pusil- luminous economic policies for which MT Coolidge stands spon- sor, and which have wrought so much damage since, are admir- ably described by himself. He tells how the members of the federal board "were using their influence quietly, as was neces- sary to check speculation, and for that reason they favored raising the interest rates, which had to be done carefully to avoid injuring non-speculative repeti- tion, in the face of al that has happened since, of that very ex- pensive financial fallacy of the boom era, that security market speculation and business were di- vorced, and that it was possible to discourage one by high inter- est rates without affecting the other. We have since learned although the lesson apparently has not yet reached MT Cool idge,.... that bold oppressive policy was needed to check both the security market and the bus- mess boom, if the structure were to be prevented from becoming so top-heavy as to involve both

Washington. Sept 22.-CUP)-A tall. straight, grey haired man who fought in the Philippines and in France is now heading the war plans division of the army general staff.
 |. He is Brig. Gen. Charles B. Kil- bourne. He comes here from a tour of duty as commander of the harbor defenses at Manila. A large part of his life has been spent in the Philippine Islands. He served there first during the Spanish American War as a signal corps lieutenant. It was there he met Emilio Aguinaldo-then aiding American troops as a young lieu tenant of the insurgent forces.
 Kilbourne and his fellow engi- neers were stringing telegraph wires between Paranaque and Cavite. They noticed that the Fili- pinos already had set up a line. The Americans tapped it but when they tried to contact Cavite, they found the Filipino line had been cut. They repaired it. It was cut again.
 
 camp nearby and protested.
 "We Americans have come 5000 miles to free you from the Spani- ards" Kilbourne said, land you won't even let us have telegraph wire."
 Aguinaldo looked up and ob- served:
 "I'm not so sure you didn't come here to take the islands for your selves. And if you do, you're going to have fight on your hands that will make your war with Spain look like child's play" Aguina1do was good prophet. He did fight the Americans. but after his capture, became their friend. Decades later the two men met again and laughed over the wire cutting incident.

Washington-Ex- President Cool idge's plea for MT Hoover. accom- panied by an alibi for himself, in a recent issue of the Saturday Evening Post. has not impressed editors who are conversant with the conduct of both administra. tions. Three notable examples o1 a critical analysis of MT Coolidge's article are given herewith in part "In dealing with the economic crisis" says the Baltimore Sun, MI Coondge's mind runs in the groove already worn deep by the routine thinking of MT Hoover and tht White House entourage," and con tinues:
 "The ex-president praises the Hoover attempt to improve bus mess and wages by 8 series Of conferences in 1929, but ignores the fact the brakes which the conference sought to set against the decline did not hold. He chants the administration story about our trouble originating abroad, ignoring the fact that he, MT Hoover and the whole repub- lican choir have repeatedly told us how effectively the protec- tive tariff insulated us against all the pernicious influences of the .pauper labor of other countries. "Mr Coolidge even goes so far as to indorse the Hawley-Smoot tariff and repeat the now fafnil- far sing-song about how 1t might have been worse but for this tariff device and the rederal farm board. Just how it could have been worse, however, the ex- president does not explain to the 1O,OOO,O00 out of work or to the ruined farmers" ,, MT Coolidge's reference to hii own connection with the stocl market speculation, the Sun char acterizes an 'an attempt at apolog! and self-exculpation," and adds:
 "Mr Coolidge asserts that III the winter of 192S-29 he be- came alarmed at the evidence Of excessive speculation and kept in contact with the federal re- serve board, which he under stood was using it's influence quietly. as was necessary, to check sepculation.' MT Coolidge must have undergone great change of heart after the wlnter of 1927-28, for in January, lS2S' he was so impressed with the possibilities of speculation that he himself encouraged it by the extraordinary device of issuing an encouraging White House pro- nouncement about brokers loans on the day after the stock mar ket had a bad sinking spell......
 "For MT Coolidge to under take to dissociate himself rom all responsibility in this connec- tfon at this late date seeps as preposterous as for MT Hoover to disclaim the promise Of a chicken in, every pot"
 Of MT Coolidge's claim or a re publican monopoly of busines brains and talents" the New Yori Times says:
 tions, in his opinion, 'discloses that the safety of the country lies in the success of the prin, ciples of the republican party.
 Ergo, when the republican par ty is defeated, the security or our institutions is threatened. Democrats are useful for consult tation and even to suggest ana head the reconstruction finance corporation. But as presidents they should be summed. This IS

coachwork by .Waterhouse. The
continental coupe strikes an entire
ly new note in custom body design,
both in general body line and in
the new seating arrangement. Spe-
cial hood and cowl give the car an
exceptionally long and racy appear
ance. The body itself is painted
combination of black and green.
Seats and headlining, above the
belt, are in green whipcord, while
the door panels provide a pleasing
contrast in darker green leather.
The seating arrangement is said
to be unique and highly practical,
being laid on in a "straight-across"
fashion TO accommodate three peo-
pie comfortably, yet being so divided
that the drivers portion remains
stationary, while the remaining
righ-hand portion, seating two per-
sons, is on a track and may be
pushed back eighteen inches.
Another interesting feature of the

will be the engine display. Both

State Company Has Display
That Will Please Many /
at Exposition.

The State Automobile Insurance
Association, which occupies the en-
tire seventh floor of the Occidental
building, again is represented at
the automobile show at the fair
ground this week with an attractive
display.
The state automobile insurance
organization always has been we'll
represented at the automobile shows
in the past. This years display will
even be more attractive than be-
fore.
This years show has been
planned as the most beautiful and
elaborate exhibition ever put on
here. The new models of cars,
with many added features that
never we're available in higher
priced cars. are given in practically
all the new models, at new low
prices.
The State Automobile Insur-
ance Association is known as the
largest insurer of automobiles in
Indiana. During the last year State
Insurance has gone forward to a
higher level of financial standing.
and during the last fifteen years has
paid more than S18,000000 in

0ne-Man System Branded
Un-AmeriCan in Its
Principle.

Commissioner Howell Ellis of the
public service commission, is OPP
posed to the one-man commission
plan, as adopted in Oregon.
In an article appearing in the
current Public Utilities Fort
nightly" he sets out the following
reasons for this opposition:
THE task of administering laws
enacted for'the purpose of regulat-
ing public utilities in the average
state is of too great magnitude to
be placed successfully in the hands
of one man.
Gases coming before state regula-
tory bodies are of such a nature as
to require the composite judgment
of several men, rather than the
opinion Of one.
eff a one-man commission is es-
tabliShed, when a change occurs in
offiee, often it will be filled by a
man not familiar with utility reg
ulation work who will require some
time to become entirely converSant
with his duties. With a commits
sion of several members, a complete
change in personnel usually does
not occur at one time, so that
trained men always are available.
Creation of a utility dictator is
American in principle"
Delegating hearings to examiners
is unsatisfactory, Ellis contends, as
petitioners want their pleas heard

FOUR COMPLETE
CHRYSLER LINES
ARE PRESENTED
20 Body Models for 1882
Are Announced, With
New Features.

Four complete new lines of cars,
with twenty body models at attrac-
tive prices, are being announced for
1882 by the Chrysler Sales Cor
poration. They are the six with an
82-horSe power engine, 116-inch
wheelbase and six body models; the
eight with 100-horse power, 126-inch
wheelbase and five bodies; the I'M
perial eight with 125-horse power,
135-inch wheelbase and three
bodies, and the Imperial custom
eight with the same engine, 1876
inch wheelbase and six body models.
Seven of the engineering features
making their first appearance at
auto shows on the new Chrysler
cars, are revolutionary enough to be
reckoned with when highest honors
are awarded for the outstanding
engineering developments of 1882.
Foremost, of course, among the
many new features is the basically
new principle of vibrationless engine

which is patented and fully pro-
tected. Other important first time
mechanical improvements are the
automatic clutch, free wheeling,
silent gear selector, centrifuse brake
drums, double-drop girder- truss
frame, and the Chrysler patented
Oilite Squeak-proof spring.
Chrysler developments of other
years have proved their worth and
still generally are recognized for
their distinct advantages are-self-
equalizing hydraulic brakes, all-steel
unit-welded bodies, V-type radf-
ators, four-speed transmission with
internal dual-high gears on the

that it has accounted for approx

made Cadillac the first manufac-
turer to blanket the fine car field.
Third, more new dealers and dis
tributors chose the Cadillac fran
chise during the year than at any
time since the early days. And,
fourth, to Cadillac, through the
V-16, has come a preponderance of
the sales made to people who de-
mand the finest the motor car
world can offer"

ELLIS RAPS OREGON
COMMISSION PLAN

by some one who can speak with
authority.
Utility regulation involves duties
of quasi judicial nature which
should not be placed in the hands
of one man." Ellis writes. THE
formal cases coming before state
commissions have a vital connec-
ton with the welfare of all the
citizens of the state.
Water, heat, light, power, and
transportation problems are a part
of the very fabric of existence.
These matters can not be subjected
lightly to the possible whim or ca
price of one individual"
Indiana is one of thirty-seven
states with a five member public
service commission. Illinois, Penn
sylvania and South Carolina have
seven and Oregon is the only one
man commission state.
Condemning the one-man COM
mission as a dictatorship, the In
diana commissioner concludes:
TN these days of stress when
radicals and demagogues are Shout
ing for the adoption of fads and
fancies, it appears to be the time to
hold fast to American ideals.
1.-THE agitators are seeking to tear
down the American form of govern
ment, and substitute for it a mush-
room growth from foreign soil
where the people exist for the gov
eminent. Here, government exists
for the people.
Therefore, let us be slow to adopt
changes in our governmental
structure which do not measure up
to American principles"
