TN answer to the letter signed
a Requested on Nov. II, this just
goes to show how much people keep
their eyes open. Just because man
is out of work is no reason why he
should sell his car that he worked
t. pay for.
There are families in my neigh
borhood that bootleg and let the
school board buy the childrens
books and clothes, and they get
county groceries and have cars, too.
think that is much worse than
keeping the car so that the children
can get out sometimes.
Not long ago a family came
through here and was given tank
OF gas and $l1.61. They never had
paid any taxes, either. think char
ity begins at home. A TAXPAYER.

RHR. CANNON says the people
IV1 misunderstood the home loan
bill. That might be, as it is far from
what Senator Watson said it would
be. But the joker was seen easily.
The man with a frozen mortgage
can not secure a loan, but the
banker or insurance company can
use his mortgage as collateral or
security to the government to brow
row money TO loan on a good risk,
Or as he may see fit to use it.
In the campaign, Watson told us
1t was the frozen money he was go
ing to thaw out, and now he is
frozen out, thank the Lord, with the
drys and the old Stand-patters.
Now the free thinking people have
laid aside politics and are marching
behind leaders who will strive for all
the people, who can see the mistakes
of the past, and have the ability to
correct the evils we have to contend
with. A. V. ALLISON.

r TOOK your paper when it was
l. the Sun, years ago, and the
peoples plain talk is the best yet.
Gives the public little truth.
Travelling Man comments on street
walkers and the police. am in a
position to answer him. 1t is not
the police, it is the laws and the
courts. The police arrest these
women and lose sleep going to court
and then the judges, on account OF
the laws, turn them loose. Then
the police get the blame.
CITY employees should not get an
other reduction in wages, as they
now are paying to the souphouse
81 a pay, supporting the Com
munity Fund, and are taking the
largest cuts in pay. would hate
to be a policeman or fireman for So

THIS is in connection with the
Il article by M. D. Moss. The
city's affairs under Mayor Sull1van'S
administration are no worse than
they were under any other admin
istration. There are no more houses
of prostitution or street walkers in
indianapolis than in any other city.
AS far as the mayor is concerned,
I am not commencing him for any
thing he has done, because he de-
serves no favorable comment. Every
time one picks up newspaper the
first thing that greets the eye is
another wage cut for city employees.
They have had so many wage cuts
now. that it is almost impossible for
them to supply food, shelter and
slothing for their families.
Why aren't the wage cuts con-
fined to high-salaried employees and
officials who would not suffer?
But to get back to M. D. Moss,
would suggest that he walk down
Illinois or any other street here and
try minding his own business. He
will fnd that he will not be crowded
off the walk by street walkers or
anyone else
