U. S. RULE over
POWER URGED
BY VAN NUYS
Break Hold of Utilities and
Bankers, Plea of Sen
ate ASpirant.
By Times Special

BU Times Special
Upton, Ind, April 13.-Govern-
ment control and operation of the
natural power resources of the ma
ton to break the stronghold of utiI-
ity operators and international
bankers was advocated by Fred
erick Van Mugs, candidate for the
Democratic senatorial nomination.
in his Jefferson dinner address at
the armory here Tuesday night.
More than 500 heard the Demo-
cratic leader urge a return to JEFF
fersonian principles.
Van Mugs urged home rule for
cities in utility matters, federal con-
Servation of natural resources. in
Guiding the gigantic natural power
plants, and, if necessary, govern
ment operation to free the American
people from the shackles of utility
slavery"
Home Rule Big Issue
The one big issue is home rule
for the people in the state and ma
ton and that should be the pledge
of the Democratic party every
where" he said.
The stranglehold of the big
utility operators and international
bankers upon necessities of our ev-
eryday life should and must be
broken. The might of the great
power trust is growing by leaps
and bounds and a halt must be
called and called quickly, if the
American people are to free them
selves from the already heavy
shackles."
Van Mugs also advocated banking
reforms to safeguard the savings of
the people from operations of bank
ers in name only.
Would Bolster Banking Act
We must strengthen the provisions
of the federal reserve act and make
it the safeguard of our banking
system as it was under Woodrow
Wilson. and not the emasculated
thing it has become under misman-
agement of the Republican malad-
ministrations of the last decade, 3"
he declared.
Turning to- state economics, Van
Mugs asserted the local tax rate
would be lowered if the Accent
gasoline tax were redistributed
among the counties and townships
to retire the heavy and burdensome
road bond issues, instead of being
given to the state highway commits
sion to "squander upon roads for
friends of the members"

MOB VENTS HATE ON STUDENTS

Harlan county line, the driver
casting off bundles of relief sup
plies as he drove.
Soon, the driver of our machine
was changed and the newspaper
men following us were ordered to
keep back.
The motorcade was cut down
to three machineS-a Harlan car
in front, ours in the middle and
a Pineville car behind.
. n n
A FTER We crossed the Harlan
"A county line they escorted us
up Black Mountain to within
fifty feet of the Virginia state
line. There they ordered us out.
One at a time. we were led to
the bushes at the side of the road
and beaten with switches cut
from trees.
I was taken first, my wrists
chained Next came Harold Coy,
a teacher of old Kentucky lineage,
who was beaten on the back.
Sam Sandberg, who was wound
ed in France and spent five
months in a hospital, was given
five extra lashes because he was
older than some of us.
Leo Gruliow, another student,
and Isaac Greenberg, president
of our student body, were last to
feel the lash.
During the beatings, members
of the mob seized and read our
copies of the bill of rights and a
statement we previously had pre-
pared for the Governor, assuring
him Of our peaceful intentions.
NTHEN we were ordered back
w to the car, Coy and I were
subjected to additional pummel-
ing and our hair and noses
pulled.
Between periods of violent
swearing, our captors asked us
such questions as: What do you
think of the American flag?
What do you think of God Al
mighty?" We remained silent.
Finally, we were ordered across
the Virginia border with threats
of death and "stringing up" if
we ever dared return.
From there we proceeded to
Knoxville, Tenn.
There could not be a clearer
case of violation of civil liberties
than the indignities that we suf-
fered.
The most significant point is
that our expulsion was initiated
by duly constituted officers of the
law-Chief Osborne and Mayor
Brooks despite our repeated
statements that our mission was
an entirely peaceful one.

FOR REDUCTION
IN LIGHT RATE
Defer Demand for Slash on
Utility'S Promise to
Study Revision.

Steps to demand reduction in
heavy electricity bills paid by the
school city have been delayed to
await outcome of promised study
of the schools rates by the Indian
apolis Power & Light Company, It
was learned today.
Announcement by A. B. Good,
schools business director, that steps
we're being taken to demand a light
rate cut for the schools, was
followed by a visit by representa-
tiyes of the light company who
promised to study a possible rate
adjustment.
Good took the position that the
school city. which pays an annual
light bill of about $4,000, was
entitled to a rate cut comparable
with that granted the civil city.
While the civil city pays fiat
rate of cents a kilowatt hour for
current, excepting street lights,
which are charged for at an annual
fiat rate, the school city pays a
number of different rates, ranging
from 3 to cents.
The Central library and Manual
Training nigh school have the low
est rate, cents for the first 1000
Silowatt hours, and 2i5 cents for
the remainder.
The school garage and Schools 4,

for the first fifty kilowatt hours,
ranging downward to cents.

NHIEF OSBORNE went into
~ conference with Mayor Brooks
and several citizens. He seemed
to be having hard time trying
to decide on the next step.
First, he ordered us out of the
city. Then he demanded that I

house steps, but I declined. Next,
he demanded that we put up
peace bonds or go to jail.
Again, we assured him of our
peaceful intentions.
Mayor Brooks then took charge

Democrats Fire VoIIey of
0ratory at Jefferson
Day Dinner.

DN gNfttN EIfef
WASHINGTON, April 13-Demo-
cratic orators, loading party work.
ers with campaign ammunition, to-
DAY heaped upon the Hoover ad-
ministration the blame for the de-
preston, and outlined a program Of
economic rehabilitation for the
party to espouse.
Through a series of addresses at
a Jefferson day luncheon attended
by Democratic leaders from near
and far ran the theme that the
Republican party had wrecked bust
ness, plunged millions into misery
and engulfed the government in
debt due to extravaganza.
Senator Joe T. Robinson of Ar
kansas said President Herbert Hoo
yer had been elected as IAN eco
nomic genius with a patent formula
to insure prosperity" which now
should be thrown into the limbo
OF exploded heresies."
Recognized Unsound'
Every policy advanced in the 1923
campaign by the economic marvel
of the age now is generally recog-
nized as unsound," Robinson de-
clared
The record of the last three years
establishes the conclusion that the
economic policies of the United
States as reflected in extravagant
government expenditures, in loans
to bankrupt foreign governments,
and in the enactment of tariffs
which have well-nigh destroyed our
commerce, have been the controlling
factors in producing depression in
this country, and in causing it to
extend to other shores"
Democratic Floor Leader Henry
T. Rainey of the house concentrated
his fire on the Republican tariff
policies. He said all the world has
retaliated aaginst Our upward re-
visions of the tariff" until inter
national trade is paralyzed.
Hits Commerce Department
Representative Mary T. Norton
of New Jersey denounced the adj
ministration for extravaganza and
failing to balance the budget of the
past two years She directed
charges of waste particularly
against the department of COM
merce, Of which Mr. Hoover was
head before he became President.
Mrs. Nellie Tayloe Ross, vice.
chairman of the Democratic ma
tional committee, declared that "if
this nation is to be lifted from the
present abyss of distress, part
nership must be established be-
tween the Democratic party and
men and women of all political
faiths who believe that the times
and conditions demand a change
in the control Of the government"
Proposes Program
Senator Robinson suggested the
following program to remedy the
countrys troubles
American capital should be used
at home rather than loaned abroad.
This government should announce
firm purpose not to cancel or re-
adjust Obligations due from foreign
countries, except upon conditions
manifestly to the interest of our
own people.
The policy of isolation reflected
in prohibitive tariffs" must be aban-
doned in favor of fair, reciprocal
tariff arrangements"
Laws for the prevention and regu-
lation of monopolies must be en-
forced --..
The high cost of government must
be reduced by abolishing and con-
solidatihg federal bureaus and de-
partments.
"Readjustments must come in do
mestic production and in commerce"
in order to increase commodity
prices
