HOOVER OBJECTS
TO PUBLIC WORKS
Will Veto "Relief" Bill,
Senator Says

WASHINGTON, July 4.-The ere
lief" bill agreed upon by Senators and
Representatives designated to confer
On the Wagner and Garner bills in
order to harmonic them, faces a
veto by the President, Senator Wat
son declared here today.
When asked whether the President
would sign the bill, he said: mo. The
bill contains Objectionable features
and I feel confident the President
would veto it, unless these objections
are removed
AS it stands the bill provides for
additional relief to bankers and in
dustrialists through the Finance Re-
construction Corporation. One of its
provision calls, however, for the fin
ancing of public works of "unpro-
ductive or non-profit yielding char
acter" which in the distant future
would give employment to handful
of workers while providing building
contractors, producers of building
material and grating politicians with
more funds to grab.
Hoover is opposed to this provision,
although it was so modified as to call
for only reduced amount of the
public works which the Wagner and
Garner bills provided for through
their common feature.
The Hunger President is said to be
firmly determined to sign the bill
only if such a provision is striken
out. He is bent upon having his
hunger and war program realized in
full with not even a promise of relief
to the starving and unemployed
workers.

A steady dowppour of rain halted

military police, to the tomb of the
unknown soldier.
Waters made no mention of the
fight for the bonus in his speech at
the tomb. He merely repeated the
old stock speech made by every
demagogic politician who visited the
tomb before him.

The demand for food was raised in
every section of the Bonus EXpedi-

Hardly Decisive

Ralph G. Bishop of the Office of education, United
States department of the interior, recently sent ques-
tionnaires to 16,416 men who were graduated from
~f1fty-four American universities and colleges between
1920 and 1890, asking their opinions about the edu-
Eational value of military training.
The replies received were overwhelmingly in favor
Of military training.
MIR. Bishops questions were answered, for instance,
by 344 graduates of Ohio State university. Of these,
1913 expressed the opinion that military training has
definite educational value, and only eleven disagreed;
284 favored compulsory military training, as under
the present reserve officers training corps system, and
only forty opposed it.
These figures were hailed promptly, in some quar-
ters, as decisive" evidence that recent controversies
over compulsory drill, at Ohio State and other uni
~versities. were mere teapot tempests. If the men who
themselves have undergone this training are so
strongly in favor of it, the argument went, then it
must be a good thing.
There is just one fatal flaw to that argument.
Military training is compulsory only in the first
two years of a college course. 1t is optional in the
last two years. Mr.. Bishops missionaries were sent
only to graduates who had taken four years of train
ing-a fact which some of those who have attempted
to draw conclusions from it have neglected to mention,
The Research Organization for Military Educa-
tion at Washington, which appears to have financed
the survey, at least in part, now is sending out to
newspapers a story about it which carefully con-
ceals this fact.
Obviously, few students who liked military drill
we'll enough to take four years of it, when only two
are required, would vote against its continuance as
q compulsory course. Also, as most of these four
year students were awarded commissions upon gradu-
alton. the poll was in effect taken among reserve
officers.
Mr.. Bishop might as well have polled army officers
to find out whether they are for or against disarma-
ment, or members of the college fraternities to find
out whether they are for or against the fraternity
system.
A similar QUESTIONABLE sent to all the male gradu-
ates of Ohio State and other universities for a ten
year period would throw some interesting and useful
light on the subject.
But a symposium from a selected group, whose
favorable opinion of military training could be known
in advance, is Of doubtful value, even as propaganda.
Instead of settling an argument, it seems to us
that Mr.. Bishops survey merely has wasted his time
and the money of whoever paid for it.

time she made her fatal mistake she
had just turned 10. Now she looks
all of 20.
Of late she has become a complete
recluse. Society is not unkind, but
it grew a little embarrassing to have
a dinner guest who invariably burst
into tears and murmured Beverley"
whenever outlets we're served.
And then she would reach into
her handbag for a handkerchief
and, like as not, draw out a little
ham sandwich, with lettuce, Swiss
cheese and English mustard. The
poor girl wanted something to re-
member him by.
But what really alienated even
her admirers was the excessive
punctuality of poor Miss x. When
asked to an 8 o'clock dinner any,
where she invariably turned up at
$50. Above the gurgle of hot water
in the tub the host or hostess could
hear poor Beatrice sobbing down in
the lower hall.
They have put her away now. A
competent alienist said it would be
best. The unfortunate debutante
grew so irrational that she began to
believe that the curtain on opening
nights actually would rise at the
advertised time.
Who am I to say that Beverley
Nichols did wrong in carrying out
his revenge? 1t is enough to sug-
gest that perhaps the young man
didn't know his own strength.

me PennIe vs.. Politicians

The big struggle in Indiana is on. 1t will decide
whether the people or small groups of selfish poll
ticians will rule the state.
The primary has been abolished. The people can
no longer directly express their desires or preferences
for President, senator or Governor. They must de-
pend on delegates sent to the state convention.
The assassination Of the primary law was de-
signed to make it easier for the professional poll
ticians to dictate the nominations and prevent self
government. That action was fostered by Senator
Watson and ably supported by his Democratic as
sstants in the big game of grabbing power.
Candidates for these Offices have reason to fear
the enmity Of those who use their plumber to main
tain their power over government.
Have you listened to any real demand for an in
come tax that would relieve the farmer and small
home owners and save his property from confiscatIon
made by an avowed candidate for the governorship?
Have you heard any one of them denounce the
burdens placed upon inustry and the home owner by
tae great utilities?
The man who is too timid to take a stand in adj
vance of a nomination will probably be too timid to
fight for the people after election.
1t may be worth while to watch those delegate lists
this year.
The situation is presumed to enable the lawyers
who represent the utilities, the railroads, the big tax
dodgers, to put their men in office. These forces will
attempt to control the convention of both parties.
They will make secret deals for votes in order that
they may continue their unrestrained looting of the
state.
Perhaps that is the reason that ambitious men who
would really like to serve the people are saying moth
ing on such subjects as utility control, municipal own
ership or income tax, Experience has suggested that
the people take no interest in the selection of dele
gates to conventions, and that the way to get into
office is not to offend the big interests who work in
politics all the year round.

Just Every Day Sense
DOssEssION is nine points OF marriage as !

This trait is one of the main props of matrinony
and should not be overlooked when we contemplate
its future state.
The possessive sense is a form of egoism that is
universal and is so strong that many lawyers can
not overthrow it.
Therefore, one of the gravest dangers for women
that comes from our present economic freedom is the

a man. She can stress her complete independence
until she succeeds in alternating him entirely.
THIS sense OF belonging" and Of possessing" is
L the most precious quality of marriage. Indeed,
it is the very flower that blossoms from the love of
men and women for each other.
1t is the one thing that has made multitudes of
men stick to unworthy wives and that has kept
throngs of women faithful to rogues. To disregard
and discard it would be to lose the strongest bond
that uniteS two beings.
And I IN convinced that a good deal of our
present trouble and the increase in our divorces
comes from the fact that we have forgotten this very
human trait within ourselves.
1t is hard for a marriage to survives when a hus-
band has one job, his wife another and there is
neither a permanent home nor a child to hold their
joint interest. They do not travel toward the same
goal and easily can drift apart.
We may go far with our modern ideas, but a man
always will desire the i~mmemoria} realities: A home

1t is important, moreover, to look
at all our situations with an his

the world shows that mankind has
triumphed over plague and infec-
tons. Human beings have passed
through periods of famine and hun
ger.
Financial panics, from which bust

been followed by new governments,
which have perhaps through their

revolutions.

Peoples Voice

Editor Times-I have taken this
question up with the central COM
mittee of South Side Civic Clubs,
which voted unanimously in favor
of it, and it was referred to a COM
mittee to see what can be done.
AS this is a safety step for the
state of Indiana as a whole, I would
like to submit the following:
Happier motorists. Happier pc
destrians. Better nerves for every
body. To bring the millennium
nearer by these three steps, it is
proposed to build sidewalks in the
country, along the motor highways,
and make it unnecessary for any
one to walk on the road built for
automobiles.
With these three steps in view,
a highway sidewalk committee was
formed in one of our eastern states
to work for legislation authorizing
sidewalks along the highways, and
now I am informed six eastern
states and n western have such
laws.
Why not Indiana next? Further,
the Massachusetts, law is recon-
mended as a model for other states.
1t provides that the state highway
division shall, from time to time,
construct sidewalks along such parts
of the state highway as it deter
mines public necessity and con-
venience require. It is my opinion
also that construction of sidewalks
should be governed by public neces-
Sity and convenience.
I am not seeking to have side
walks built along every highway, but
in sections in which pedestrians are
numerous in many suburban and
rural localities, with our crowded
highways and reckless drivers there
is no safe place for the pedestrian
to walk.
With our gasoline tax for con-
struction Of highways, these side
walks can be built without any more
tax on the public. Amend the
highway law to include sidewalks
where necessary.
