COAL PASSED IN
HOME CAMP AICN
5000 Property Owners on
List, Pledged to Aid
MOdernizatiOn.

Six thousand Indianapolis home
owners have begun to repair and
remodel their properties or plan to
in the near future, it was estimated
today by modernization campaign
leaders.
With the campaign goals first set
at $2,5OOOOO, then at $4,000, 900, both
are passed with pledges totaling
$3,251 ,767 to date. The campaign
has been extended through Monday.
Leaders announce the extension
to allow campaign workers to cover
their territories.
Louis j. Borinstein, campaign
chairman, today predicted increases
in sale of general merchandise as
result of the campaign.
He said workers already are en-
ployed on hundreds of projects and
others will be hired. This will throw
thousands of dollars into trade
channels, he pointed out.
Property owners not already con-
tracted by workers are urged to out
line needed repairs and report them
to campaign headquarters, Cham
Der Of Commerce building. Leaders
continued to stress necessity of TAX
ing advantage of low material and
labor prices.

FARMERS TO PAY TAX
Levy viii Be Collected on Fuel for
Pleasure Cars.

Farmers who have been using
tax-free gasoline for pleasure rides
in their autos will be checked ana
made TO pay. 1t was announced TO-
day by Floyd E. Williamson, state
auditor.
Williamson has put Lyle Free
hafer in charge of the twenty-Seven
oil inspectors, who also are to check
gasoline refunds.
Farmers are permitted a tax re-
fund on gasoline used in tractors
and other farm implements. Many
are said to use the same refunded
gas in their cars, which is not per-
mitted under the law.

Smith was on the short side Then
it recovered and gained back to
about $50. He was caught again.

COVERING at that price was
" suicidal. Should he take his
licking? He got into an airplane
and, had himself flown out to the
corn belt He talked to farmers,
bankers and storekeepers, looking
for any one with money who could
buy new farm implements or to pay
up old debts.
He knew at frst-hand now about
the immediate future of Case, not
as stock, but as an industry.
Quickly and confidently he be-
gan selling again. And Case stock
in time tumbled off another 200
points. It went to 164 last year.
This first-hand pursuit of facts is
characteristic of him. He has in
unusual degree the quality of look
ing squarely at the facts, preferably
grinning at them, whatever they
may be.
He is realist, regardless of warm
personal sentiments, in the midst of
a crew of romantics.

HE'S A BEAR, is BEN SMITH
But Canny Stock Trader A $50 Can Play the Bull Side

There's as much gold as was ever
taken out, he believes. and to in
crease the supply would cure the
money shortage.
Ben Smith knows how to lose
money. He was a bull in October,
1929. He was bear in 1928. He
paid for both mistakes.
n n
N Ado was the stock he mis-
N judged in 1928. He rode up
ward with its skyrocketing until 200,
and then, dizzy at the height, began
selling. He was murdered, as the
Street figures it, and scrambled on
to the band wagon again.
Three or four times prematurely
he dumped his Radio, sold short,
was all but exterminated, and came
back on the bull side. After he first
decided it was too high the Radio
pool put the stock up an additional
$50 points.
And then Radio tilted downward
on its long jolt toward 81 share.
Ben Smith grinned and sold faster
than ever to make up past errors.
He sold, he once admitted, plenty"
Even before it slipped to the 500
mark he had sold thousands of
shares.
There is a story about his sturdy
bearishneSs on the common stock of
the J. 1. Case Co, manufacturers of
threshing machines and agricultural
implements.
In a few days it dropped from a
high of 500 to around 200, and Ben

to succeed the lateE ben w. Put
York City and Anthony Wayne post
of Wayne, Pa, were the posts whose
charters we're revoked.
Although no official reason for
their explosions were forthcoming
at legion headquarters here, it was
understood the revocation was be-
cause of their activities in de-
nouncing the legion's program for
veteran legislation.
Program Is Approved
Louis johnson, national COM
mander, outlined a program of flu
ture legislative policies that were
approved quickly.
Perpetuation of service con-
nections for all veterans, rectifica-
ton of money payments to veterans
sufferings from service incurred
disabilities and liberalization of
present restrictive burial provi-
sions," we're among the policies out
lined.
A resolution was adopted calling
upon the Legion to use it's infiu-
ence to persuade the United States
senate to provide 100000 to con-
tinue regional office work of the
veterans administration.

Other matters taken up at the
meeting were:

DEMOCRATIC CHIEFS
DODGING WET ISSUE
Pull Away From MCNutt on
Election Participation.

Governor Paul V. McNutt's con-
tention that consistent Democrats
should vote for wet delegates to
the repeal convention June 6, is not
supported by the Democratic state
committee, it appeared today.
For the state committee publicity
bureau has issued an editorial deal
ing with the subject, from which
the following quotations are taken:
ct is g peculiar fact that many
people do not understand the point
at issue in the election. Perhaps it
is due to the fact that neither of
the major political parties is turn
ing its machinery into active par
ticipation. But this is one time that
the voters can go to the polls with
out having to consider the influence
of political principles"
1t then is pointed out that states
already voting have gone wet and
concludes as follows:
What Indiana will do is prob
lematical, but it is hoped that the
election will bring out a representa-
tive group of voters of the state"

another 100000 shares at $3.50. From
London he bought 100000 more at
$2.70. 1t wasn't a listed stock i'll
those days.
Now it is on the Curb, current at
around ST, and he still has most OF
his original buy. Another of his
gold stocks, Home Stake, spanned
nearly 100 points on an upsWlng
during the last year, touching 2O5
last week.
Metallic gold to him, as to many
Wall Street men, has a magnetic
fascination. Floyd B. Odlum, Of the
Atlas Corporation, has used 5000
worth of small change, gold brick
the size of a small telephone pad,
as a paper weight.
Ben Smith usually has q. gold
piece on his person. Currently he
has been carrying two little rectan-
gular briquettes, together no larger
than a watch, as samples of Pioneer.
So interested is he in gold, he has
worked out gold plan to cure the
depression. In a corner of his Of
five stand dozen large paper rolls
maps. He would like the govern
ment to put an army of the unem-
ployed prospecting in the southwest.

Public Counselor Helps
S. Bend in Rate Battle
Immediate Slash Sought on
Gas Tariff Before
Commission.

First steps in behalf of the rate
payer by the new public counselor,
under the revamped public service
commission law, were taken this
week in the South Bend gas rate
reduction case
Going a step farther than the city
petitioners at South Bend, Herbert
P. Kenney, assistant to Sherman
Minton, public counselor, filed
petition asking immediate rate re-
duction under the provision for
emergency relief contained in the
utility law.
The petition was presented to all
commissioners assembled at hear
ing at South Bend.
1t is the first of its kind in the
states history
Accompanying the petition was an
affidavit of public service commits
sion engineers and accountants set
ting the tentative value of North
ern Indiana Public Service Com
pany, for use in gas production at
South Bend, at S3,116, 748.
The petition then pointed out that
the company. at the present rates,
is earning a 10 per cent return on
$35OO,OOO.
1t asked that the rates be re-
duced and then final preparation
made for hearings on permanent
rate.
The Marion electric case was cited,
wherein the federal court held that
the emergency relief is permissible.
Kenney also citeo the Wisconsin
emergency telephone rate reduction
case, in which depression conditions
were expounded to show that relief
should be immediate.
South Bends plight particularly
was dealt with, the petitioner point
ing out the numerous bank clos
ings there, number of persons re-
ceiving poor relief, and the many
who have had to dispense with
utility service because of impossi-
bility of meeting bills.
The South Bend city adminiStra-
ton had prepared evidence in the
rate case and wa permitted to
introduce it. The city asked
valuation $4,000 less than the COM
mission engineers.
Beginning Monday, arguments are
scheduled and the. company EVIL
dence will be introduced.
