He said that his subject, instead

Mr.. Seldes pointed out that we
have applied superstitions, coined
expressions and done about every
thing else until we decided to ap-
proach the subject from sound
standpoint.
The speaker asserted that the
American people listened to Mr..
Hoover fix the exact date of the
disappearance of the depression and
chung to the saying that prosperity
is just around the corner"
At one time when the depression
was being Winked out of existence
by our superstitions and sayings,
the speaker said, we turned to
miniature golf and spent fortunes
in building courses and then playing
on them because many thought that
this boom was the beginning of the
new era of prosperity.
The speaker commended that Mr..
Hoover went into a state of mac

LIQUOR RUMOR
Political Claw Foreseen in
Control of Whisky
After Repeal.

Reports were current at the state
house yesterday that the McNutt adj
ministration is planning to turn the
liquor business over to the ten DO
lltlco-importers, as was done with
the non HooSier- made beers.
Governor Paul " McNutt, how
ever, asserted that the plan for
handling liquor after repeal had not
yet been perfected. He still is await
ing an opinion from Attorney
General Philip Lutz Jr., which is
forthcoming shortly, it was said.
Mr.. Lutz's opinion has been fore
cast as giving the administration
wide powers in handling the hquor
business through rules and pro-
nouncements by Paul Fry, state
excise director.
Mr.. Fry said he would make what
ever regulations the Governor sees
mt. The excise director explained
the recent removal of beer i'm

here on the grounds of better re-
trlgeration, rather than possible
liquor storage.
Importers here are William E.
Clauer and John w. Burke, operat-
ing as HooSier Brewery, Inc, and
State Brewery Company.

Opposed by Mothers
in Hearing on Levies
MeSSe; Mayor Sullivan Defends Civil
CITY Fqure

Protests in behalf of hundreds of
Indianapolis mothers against reduc-
tons in the school city budget, and
suggestions for a total slash of
$158,307 in the school and civil city
budgets, were laid before the state
tax board yesterday in a public
hearing at city hall
Mrs. w. E. Balch, representing
the Parent Teacher Associations of
the city, was the spokesman for the
mothers, voicing opposition to school
budget cuts.
Suggestions for the budget reduc-
tons were laid before the board by
Harry Miesse, secretary of the In
diana Taxpayers Association, who
suggested a $21,23 cut in the civil
city budget and $137, 072.57 reduction
in the school city budget.
Mrs. Balch interrupted at this
point to declare that school city re-
auctions mean one of two things.
Either we close the schools in
March, or teachers must go unpaid"
she asserted. Indianapolis does not
want the stigma of unpaid teachers
that is attached to other cities" Mrs.
Balch asserted.
In answering to questioning by
Mr.. MieSse, Mayor Reginald H. Sui
Ivan, defending his budget as one
of the best municipal budgets in
recent years, declared he is not in
favor of special session of the
legislature.
"You never can tell what legis-
lature is going to do" the mayor
asserted. THE budget is made up
it is good budget-and the leg
iSlature in special session might
take away funds we need vitality.
