BARES
PRESSURE ON
LEGISLATORS
Arthur Sapp, Member of
Highway Board, Hints at
Favor for Favor
MOVE AIMED AT STREY
0iIing of Road Is Held Out
as Bait in Saving of
Tax-Auto Fund.
BY DANIEL M. KIDNEY

Proof that state highway COM
missioners are using road patronage
to bring political pressure on men,
bers of the legislature to keep the
commissions $24,000,O 900 funds in
tact will be produced in the SEN
ate today.
Senator Charles L. Strey (Rep) !,
Wabash, highway commission foe,
is armed with a letter written Mon
day, in which Commissioner Arthur
H. Sapp, Huntington, promised to
get certain road made duStleSS if
Strey could be whipped into line.
Strey favors the popular measures
which will take half of the state
highway funds, derived from auto
mobile license fees and gasoline tax,
and return them to the cities, coun-
ties, and towns for road purposes.
Letter Written by Sapp
The letter, which Strey will pre-
sent in evidence, was written by
Sapp to Harley Gamble, president
and treasurer of the Wabash Baking
Powder Company, Wabash. 1t an
swers some previous correspondence
regarding rerouting o. State Road
Is, and reads:
II am taking up the matter of
rerouting Is with Mr.. Ralph Simp-
son to see what the record shows
and have asked him to call this to
my attention Friday of this week.
(Simpson is assistant highway di-
rector.)
II doubt the wisdom of routing
traffic over new Is in place of the
present highway until the new route
is made dustless. This hardly would
be fair to through traffic.
Until this legislative session is
over, especially in view of the atti-
tude of your senator, 1 doubt if I
could get the commission to take
steps Immediately. 1t might be that
you could bring some pressure to
bear, provided we Immediately would
take over this road and oil it."
Asked about the letter by The
Times today, in a long distance call
to Huntington, Sapp was non
plussed. He admitted authorship,
but declared he didn't see how
ANY one with any brains would
give letter like that to a senator,
in view of what is going on now. .
Fool to Write Letters
"It just proves again that man
is a fool to write letters" Sapp con-
Guided. AFTER this I am going to
borrow a lesson from Governor
Harry G. Leslie. He never writes
any one.''
Upon receipt of the letter, Strey
wrote Gamble and stated his stand
for division of the state highway
funds.
The Wabash senator led vigor-
GUS fight on the commission during
the regular session last year, but
lost.
Strey also is prepared to attack
the commission on another score.
He has copy of the letter sent
to all highway department employees
urging them to contribute per cent
of their salaries to the state COM
mittee of either the Republican or
Democratic party.
Strey has prepared a resolution
asking that information be given
the senate on how much money was
collected and where it went.
This morning the senate amended
a bill containing the five-year plan
for the state to take over all county
roads so that it would be accom-
plished in nine years

When the wolf came to the

While her husband, Joe, was
paying 5000 to learn to fly,
Mrs. Adam said that she and
their 2-year-old son had been

The house today passed bills
giving cities, counties and towns
larger share of gasoline taxes
and automobile license fees,
which form a S25,OOO,OOO year
fund. The gasoline tax bill
passed IS to and the license fee
bill 81 to s. The new legislation
will reduce the commissions
share from rs to so per cent.
Under the lash of criticism OF
the house of representatives to-
day the World war memorial fund
levy, costing state taxpayers APP
proximately 100000 annually, APP
peared certain to be suspended by
the house as a step in tax relief.
After killing a motion to post
pone indefinitely bill providing for
the suspension, the house brushed
aside opposition, forwarding the bill
to second reading.
The measure, written by Repre-
sentative DELPHI McKeSson of Plym-
outh, Democratic majority leader,
suspendS the 4-mill levy during 1882
and 1888, but permits use of funds
now in the treasury of the War Me-
moral Commission.
nabafo Te
Stormy debate was precipitated
when McKesson, defending his
measure, charged the memorial
commission with attempting to
force the. general assembly to con-
tinue the levy.
Representative Sam Benz Dem.),
English, branded the levy as the
biggest skin game ever saddled on
the people of Indiana"
The ways and means committee.
in its report for the indefinite post
ponement, pointed out that Attor-
ney-General James M. Ogden had
submitted an opinion in which he
held suspension unconstitutional
This drew barrage of arguments
from opponents of the levy.
Representative John F. Ryan
Oem), Terre Haute, public morals
committee chairman, declared con-
tractors for the project we're dipping
into the state treasury at the ex-
pense of thousand Of starving war
veterans whom the monument

Can Not Eat Stone
These unemployed soldiers can't
eat pile of stone" he shouted.
THE duty Of this legislature is not
to erect monuments to the honored
dead, but to relieve the suffering
thousands of the state"
AS proponent of the postpone
ment motion, Representative John T.
Bold (Dem.), Evansville, blamed
previous legislatures for passing laws
which bound the present assembly
to continue the levy.
He pointed to the argument of
contractors of the memorial that
serious Mitigation will result from
cancellation of the levy because of
refusal of subcontractors on the
project to delay work.
Representative Herbert H. Evans
Rep0, Newcastle, declared he ia
vored cancellation of the levy, but
asserted the legislature is bound by
the oponion of the encouragement.
If the levy measure is enacted it
viii be declared unconstitutional, he
asserted.

ness. They've acquired some
professional patter and an ink
ling of technique. And their
ambition is only equaled by
their self-confidence.
They want to be famous.
Then why shouldn't they be
famous? Other people have
made good. Why can't they?
THE SIMPLE ANSWER IS,
THEY HAVEN'T THE MAX
INGS.
AND NO MATTER HOW
WILLING YOU ARE OR
HOW HARD YOU WORK,
YOU CANNOT SUCCEED IN
THE STARRY ARTS UNLESS
YOU ALSO HAVE THE MYS-
TER IOUS WHEREWITHAL
WITHIN YOUR OWN SPIRIT.
But no one has given them
this answer. Instead they have
been encouraged to believe that
they can do whatever they wish
to do-if they'll hit the line
hard enough and long enough.
So these ambitious young
people turn from the medic
ere" tasks for which they are
fitted and in which they might
succeed and proceed to crash
the heights.
Then what happens? They
get a look in. Some small job
which puts them within the
magic circle. And there they
stick. They haven't the talent
to go ahead. Nor, as a matter
of fact, have they any concep-
ton what "going ahead" means.
THEY ARE NOT ACTUALLY
IN LOVE WITH ACHIEVE

LOVE WITH THE GLAMOUR
w H I C H UNDS

SOULS ARE NOT HUNGRY.
THEIR VACCINATIONS ARE
AFLANGE AND THEIR EGO
TISM IS ITCHING-WHICH
IS QUITE A DIFFERENT
MATTER. AND so THEY
HAVE NO CONCEPTION OF
THE REAL DIFFICULTIES OR
REWARDS OF THAT ART
THEY SEEK TO ENTER.
But of these things they are
ignorant. Nor do they seek
wisdom. They only seek a
thrill.
Find Disappointment
But instead they find disap-
pointment and humiliation.
They are given tasks beyond
their capacity. They are con-
stantly forced into competition
with people whose record makes
their own look like plugged
nickel. And so, they are Sc
cretly haunted by a growing
sense of Illustration and failure.
Whereas, had they chosen a Ca
reer suited to their ability, they
could have known the pride and
surety of success.
DON'T HITCH YOUR
WAGON TO A STAR THAT
IS HIGHER THAN YOUR
OWN CAPACITY!
Fill your life as full Of tall
adventure as you possibly can.
Encourage your own desire for
the fine things of life.
