Isn't there a peace Makers Henry

Editors note:
It is q little difficult to follow Mr..
Redington's reasoning when he com
pares the attempt to disqualify Noodle
to that in which LANCER was re-
moved from office. They are not al
all similar. The effort to bar Noodle
Is based on an allegation Of some
thing he did not do. LANCER was
disbarred for using the power
which the people had conferred upon
him to line his own pockets.
The only way in which Sinclair
could be made governor would be fol
the people to elect him and they
already have elected one governor
Noodle, to serve during the next two
years.

SHORTENED CODE OF
SCHOOL LAWS ASKED
Thompson Declares Problem OF
Simplivation Should Be
Taken Up by Solons

A shorter and simplified code Of
school laws should be drawn by thu
legislature at its coming session
Arthur E. Thompson, superintendent
of public instruction, declared Mon
Cay.
present laws are inadequate, he Is.
serted, while many are overlapping
and conflicting. Present laws or
school buildings should be changed te
more fully protect those within the
buildings, he said.
While many Of the Ills affecting
the schools today are the result 81
the depression, q number are caused
by the system itself, he averred. I'VE
need to take q long look at the whole
system, and be courageous enough e
do some longtime planning.
II believe more efficiency and eco.
nomy could be secured through en-
larging local units Of school organ
ization. More schools like the county
agricultural schools OF Benson and
walsh counties and the state school
Of science at Wahpeton should be
available"
He pointed out that schools Of
North Dakota are supported prtn-
cipally by local taxes on real and per-
sonal property. Ninety per cent Of
the cost comes from this source. he
said.
He proposed new revenue producing
taxation, and supported q plan which
would give the schools so per cent Of
the revenue. because on the average
one half OF governmental expense Il
necessary to maintain our schools
The question OF school revenue Is not
,ne Of politics and every faction should
work for the good Of the schools to
keep them going"

Nash Cars FEATURE
new CRUISING. GEAR
10 Major Improvements An.
nounced in New Line Of
Skies and Fights

Ten major improvements are an.
rounced In the new line Of Nash SIX
and eight cylinder cars for 1885. They
range from advanced body styling to
a newly proved system OF spring sus-
pension, and their sum-total results In
the strongest bid for public approval
that Nash has ever made in its IL
years Of manufacturing history.
Power plants in both the six and
eight are stepped up in horsepower:
wheelbases are longer by 4 inches; an
automatic cruising gear boosts top
speed, at the same time reducing gas
consumption, oil consumption and
engine wear: springs are re-designed
to give a smooth, untiring ride; steer
ing has been made easier; super-hy-
draulic, brakes have been adopted:
air wheels are standard equipment on
all models; "mid-Section" seating
moves rear seat passengers forward in
to the comfort zone; the Aeroform
body is not only comfortably roomy
for six passengers, but is said to be
the safest and strongest ever devel-
oped for a motor car; and twin air
plane type ignition called Flying
Power" assures unfailing starting
complete combustion which reduces
gasoline consumption and increases
speed and the practical elimination
Of crankcase oil dilution.
Boasts Smart Curves
The car is modelled in graceful and
smart curves from front bumper to
tail light; every inch streamlined fol
style, beauty, speed and economy, In
exactly the same manner as a modern
airplane. The windshield slopes back
at an angle of 80 degrees. The back
slopes at an angle of IS degrees. The
spare tire, together with the tool kit
is carried under the rear deck in q
compartment where there also is
plenty of room for baggage.
In changing tire it is no longe,
necessary to disturb passengers in the
car to get at the tools, and neither
is it necessary to wrestle with the
spare because it lies flat and can b<
released from its nest by unscrewinf
large wing nut that can easily b<
turned by hand.
Turning their attention to passenge,
comfort, Nash engineers have done 9
number Of things to attain a smoother
more pleasant ride. They heightened
the wheelbase inches, and moved the
motor forward over the front axle

Legal Fight Opened

Attorney T. Ernest Maholm today
launched a legal fight on behalf of
14-year-old Bascom Ray Jr. and IT.
year-old Maurice Sheridan, who
yesterday we're sentenced at Jasper,
Ind, to SO years imprisonment when
they pleaded guilty to kidnapping a
sheriff.
Attorney Maholm was retained
this morning by Bascom Ray ST.,
father of the younger convict, who
is en- route to indianapolis from his
Huntington (W. Va home. Mr.
Ray is now Indianapolis bound to
confer with Attorney Maholm.
The first move in Attorney Ma
holms fight was to wire Sheriff Ed
win Leugers, Dubois County, to de-
lay indefinitely taking the two boys
to Pendleton, pending an appeal
from the sentence pronounced hy
Judge John l.. Sumner.
The sheriff nevertheless took the
boys to Pendleton, where the super
'intendent refused to accept either.
Monday, Attorney Maholm will
ask the court to be permitted to
withdraw pleas of guilty and enter
pleas of not guilty. If he is over
ruled, he will file motion to quash
the indictment of kidnapping.
If he is overruled on this he will
file a writ of corum nobis setting
forth that the constitutional rights
of the boys have been violated

said in summing up the case, the
boys were not represented by counsel
at their hearing. They pleaded

to advise them.
They we're sentenced to the Re-
formatory at Pendleton. But Pen
dleton does not take lifers.
Then. too. if they we're sentenced
under the 1905 statute. the most
they could have been given was to

sentenced under the 1885 statute.
because the life penalty is spe-
cifically for kidnapping for ransom.

City Must Buy Materials,
Says Hopkins.

Prospects of an immediate begin
ming of the proposed South Side
Track elevation project appeared
this afternoon to have been dashed
by the announcement in Washing
ton that Indianapolis must be pre-
pared to finance the cost of pur-
chasing materials.
Mayor John w. Kern said the
citys program could not be carried
out, excepting for that section re-
lating to street Improvements and
sewer construction.
The city anticipates revenues
from its share of the state gasoline
tax to defray the expense Of street
construction, but this money has
been held up in litigation pending
in Circuit Court.
Harry L. Hopkins, works-relief di-
rector. today said cities must pay
"all they can" toward carrying out
their wcrks-relief program. Indian
apolis has exhausted its bonding
power and can not borrow funds to
defray the South Side PROJECT, it
was said at City Hall.

BLOCKS
ABOLISH|NG OF
HOLDING FIRMS
Death Sentence Provision
Lacking 80 Votes,
Poll Shows.
Copyright. 1885, by United Press


WASHINGTON. June 21-The
House was revealed today as OPP
posed to the elimination of "unneces-
sary" utility holding companies as
provided in the Wheeler-Rayburn
bill passed by the Senate at Presi-
dent Roosevelts request.
A secret poll by Administration
leaders indicated the death SEN
tence" provision lacked between 80
and 40 votes of the number neces-
sary to assure passage. Results of
the poll were communicated to the
President.
Mr.. Roosevelt, it was reported, in
sisted that leaders continue to fight
for the elimination provision. He
hoped abolition features could be
retained, possibly through agree
ment after the bill is sent to con-
ference with the Senate.
Executives Urge Regulation
Philip H. Gadsden, chairman of
the Committee of Public Utility Elk
ecutives, fighting the bill, issued a
statement today charging all Fed
eral "usurpation of power remains
in the House Bill"
The committee, he said would
continue to advocate amendments
that will make this bill full reg
ulatory measure without its present
destructive and conhscatory fea-
lures"
He approved the House Interstate
Commerce Committees indicated
intention to approve a bill striking
out the elimination feature. The
committee was expected to report
the bill out within day or two. 1t
may reach the floor, where hot de-
bate is expected, next week.
The subcommittee report recon-
mendation for regulatory measures
instead of elimination was expected
to be approved. This. Mr.. Gadsden
said, modif1es the death sentence
to the extent of giving few hold
ing companies a chance to live at
the pleasure of the Federal Com
mission"
Government Ownership Goal
But Title H. he said, "of the bill
subjects the operating companies to
a Federal domination that will not
only set aside state authority, but
will virtually destroy private man
agement in the industry"
