SIxty-seven counties have joined

DR.. V. K. Harvey, state public health
director. The campaign, conducted
by the state board of health, In

Lectures and film showings have
aided in organizing immunization

The Indiana campaign has been
praised by w. w. Bauer, director of
public instruction. American Medi-
cal Association, as one of the most
outstanding ever undertaken.
DR.. Harvey said today, "Diphthe-
ria is one Of the few diseases which
human beings have the power en-
tirely to blot out if they are intelli-
gent enough 10 use the simple
means which science has placed at
their very doors.
Every physician who has at
tended terrible case of diphtheria,
IN which the child has died. never
will forget and automatically be-
comes a crusader for immunization
Too often it is the advanced case
that comes to the physician. The
helpless child, blue and struggling
Tor breath, is taken to the hospital
The physician and parents then are
forced to stand by and see the little
one choke TO death with the diph-
iberia membrane that fills his
larynx and trachea.
The knowledge Of the ease with
which the disease can be wiped out
are the reasons why all physicians
are so anxious to see that all babies
and young children are safeguarded
by the simple means of having a
doctor give toxoid"

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES
SPEAKER OPENS
RETAILERS WAR
ON SALES TAX
Hardware Group Urged to
Support Candidates
Backing Repeal.

Active efforts to elect legislators
committed to repeal of the state
sales tax will be made by Indiana
retailers, L. F. Shuttleworth, ASSo-
ciated Retailers of Indiana executive
secretary, today told the convention
of the Indiana Retail Hardware As
ISOLATION.
The present per cent tax merely
was an entering wedge, he said
charging that sponsors of the law
are planning to get the percentage
increased.
A survey revealed that in ma
jority of cases, the merchants tax
load has increased from 100 to 300
per cent in the last year, because
of inability to add the tax to the
selling price.
AS a secondary objective, Mr..
Shuttleworth said, the association
plans to seek a means Of empower
ing the taxpaying public to regulate
the tax budget. This might be done.
he said, by creating nonpartisan
commission in each tax unit, free
from political influence, and elected
on ballots entirely separate from
any partisan ticket. This commits
sion would have complete control of
budget making.
1T seems to us an unSound, I'M
fair practice to allow tax Spenders
to determine the amount they are
to spend and be clothed with au-
thority to sell your property and
mine to collect levies to pay the bills,
size of which they determine them
selves" he said.
Other speakers on today's pro-
gram include Clarence A. Jackson
gross income tax division director
and Ralph w. Carney.

WHEAT Commission
APPROVES SYSTEM
OF Minimum PRICES
Program for Improving Export
Market Will Be Urged
Upon Governments
VOTE COMES AS SURPRISE
Argentina Joins in Approval in
Spite Of Its Previous
Opposition

Rome, April 14.-(R-The world
wheat advisory commission Saturday
approved system of minimum wheat
export prices as a method Of improv-
ing the export market.
The system will be recommended
to the governments represented here
The vote came as q surprise to the
delegates, who believed they would
be occupied in studying q report un-
til Saturday night.
The opening discussion Saturday
morning, however, revealed that the
delegates in the great majority had
thoroughly digested the report on ex-
port prices Friday afternoon and did
not desire to argue over 1t In detail.
Argentina joined with the other
nations in the favorable vote. despite
its previous opposition. Her delegates
evidently had been won over by those
Of other countries.
The commission made no changes
in the report which provides in effect
for:
System Is Far-Flung
A far-flung system Of minimum ex-
port prices and export quotas for
wheat, with four men having the
powers Of economic Caesars sitting
In London to open and close the
floodgates of grain
That Is the plan which a subcom-
mittee has proposed to the world
wheat advisory commission.
Without attempting to stipulate
minimum prices, the group merely
called for committee Of experts to
meet in London May 1 to draw up q
schedule.
However, the subcommittee did
suggest that the first schedule be an
increase Of five or 10 per cent OF the
present price of Manitoba No. 2
wheat and other types Of wheat In
proportion to the export quotas.
VIII Not Interfere
Further. it said the adjustments
made in London SO fixed as to keep
the supply strictly in accord with de-
mand and thus not interfere with
the minimum price system.
The most interesting feature of the
subcommittee report is the proposal
for a price committee of four experts
to sit in London and meet at least
once q month. It would study wheat
export movement in relation to quotas
and raise or lower minimum prices
Of individual exporting countries
should they be selling too much OF
too little wheat In relation to their
quotas.
This Is described as q method Of
controlling quotas through prices.
The subcommittee also recon-
mended that exporting countries
whose domestic price is lower than
the export minimum to be agreed up
on raise that price to a new level
partly through reducing their stocks
The new system, which promptly
struck snag in the commission
should 60 into effect on June 1-ol
as soon thereafter as possible-the
group said.
