SUGGESTS WAY TO USE
MARTIN COUNTY PARK
By RAYMOND S. Perkins

BY Raymond S. Perkins
I read your paper every night and
1 read of the good that your paper
does for the people. I have no
political power to help me, but l
am going to ask you to be a good
sportsman and see if you can see the
same possibilities in the Martin
County land project as I can.
Your paper said that 10000 acres
would be bought and more than
1000 men would be put to work
clearing this tract and building roads
through it. Then it would be turned
over to the Indiana State Conserva-
ton Department.
We now have in the state several
large parks which are the best in
the country. They are fixed to suit
the traveller, Or the man that wants
to take an outing and not have to
get out of his machine
would like to see this 3O,O0O-acre
tract in Martin County cleared of
all dead trees, a fire road built
al Ou1lu III d1lO d lSIlCS VI IlUU over
two smooth wires put around it.
Close all roads that cross it. allow
only fire tower and warden's COT
tage to be built on it. Let the tract
grow wild, and let the wild game
live in it as they want
Wouldn't this be a swell place to
go camping? You could leave your
car outside and carry all your
equipment to your camping on some
nice creek or river You could sit
in front of your tent and enjoy the
wild life as it is. You would be
away from the sound of the autos
and the loud voices of people. You
could walk through this woods with
out bunch of saddle horses tramp
ing on you, and you could see wild
animals without going to a cage to
see them. You could really camp,
as camper should.
Don't you think it would be nice if
We had place in our state like
this?

OTHER OPINION
[Shelbyville Republican,

ID ERNARR MACFADDEN charged
~ that the Washington Admins
tration had appropriated billions OF
dollars of United States money to
buy elections.
He MADE the charge in an address
before the Columbia Club.
He said:
"A colossal sum of nearly S5,000,-
100000 has been given to the Dem
ocratic Administration and it has
taken for granted that this money
will be used, at least indirectly, for
campaign purposes. The present
Administration wants to be elected
in 1886"
MIR Macfadden is handing us old
news. We know about it-have
known about it for the last year.
We have seen Federal programs
started in areas where it seemed
likely that certain of the Presi-
dents friends would meet with de-
feat. We have seen big appropria-
tons spent in various areas just
before elections,

meaning, but he hasn't "rung the

something of reputation as an as

Even his political astuteness is a
trifle questionable. He was Demo-
cratic national chairman at one
time, but the Democrats lost under
his Craftsmanship. Probably he un-
derstands New England. but maybe
not the remainder of the country.
Also, he lost the Administration S

chatter in New Deal circles that he
bungled it.

1884? We are still unemployed.
Some say it was because they
couldn't keep the old men working
unless the younger men were laid
off Now I understand they are even
working on Saturday.
If you talk to some of these men
they will say, tits not our fault
you men we're laid off. We want
them to call you in and let every
one have a living. We don't want to
work on Saturday"
If you talk to the big shots they
say, It's not our fault. We would
like to call you men back" What I
can't understand is how they can
work these men on Saturday with
out calling us men in.
We married men with families
were buying our homes and we have
lost them. We have worked IL and
ID years out there, and learned
our trade. We were bumped off right
when we needed work to save our
homes. 1t looks to me as if some of
these men that have been working
steadily could take a furlough and
let some of us fellows that haven't
had a pay day for almost II months
have chance to square ourselves
up little. If some of the old men
out there who have their homes
paid for, and money saved, could
be laid off and let some of us fell
lows who are trying to get a liv-
ing have chance, working con-
ditions would be better for us all.
So let me hear how some more
of the men that were laid off in
July, 1884, feel about this. To see
your family 60 half starved, and
to lose your home and everything
you have strived to have doesn't
seem fair to us.

good thing for the city because 1t
centers attention on the necessity Of
teaching boys, who are naturally ven-

have had called to my attention each
year the large number Of deaths in the
city caused by drowning. Some Of this
loss of life undoubtedly could not be
prevented; certainly some OF the lives
would have been saved had those
suffering accidents been able to swim.
II therefore urge boys who cannot
swim to take advantage of this oppor-
turity to learn the fundamental rudi-
mentary principles of swimming, which
next week will be taught at the boys

Will Walk Out on
January IS.

Ofhcials of the leading taxicab COM
panies today denied rumors that a
fairly general movement is on foot
among hackers to call a strike by
January Is unless the Public Util-
tiles Commission grants raise in
rates.
I've read such stories in the news
papers, but I don't believe them, y
said Harry C. Davis, president of
the Diamond Cab organization, one
of the largest in the city. "I am
convinced none of our drivers plans
such action"
Individual drivers in other COM
panies, however, have told reporters
that a committee of so is pledging
drivers to obey any strike action
which may be dictated by a majority
vote In event fares are not raised.
One taxicab executive, who asked
that his name be withheld. said:
It have heard rumors that strike
is being agitated by several diSgrun-
tied drivers and at least one paid Or
ganizer. They claim large following
when, as a matter of fact, they viii be
left out in the cold If showdown
comes.
The great majority Of drivers got
enough strike experience during the
Shrine Convention last Summer. They
don't want any part of it. If the agita-
tors have any following at all it's too
small to carry any weight"
