CITIES MOPPING UP
AS FLOOD RECEDES
Evansville Expects Crest of
44.5 Feet Today.

AS the ruffian Ohio River re-
coded, residents of approximately a.
dozen Indiana cities, made plans
to clear away the mud and debris
left in the foods wake.
At Madison, where a crest of So
feet had been reached, the river
was reported dropping an inch ev-
cry three hours. State Road Sc
remained under water east and
west of the city.
Approximately $50 families
watched the river retreat slowly at
New Albany. A foundry and fer
tilizer plant, closed by high water,
expect to resume operations within
few days.
In Evansville, however, the Ohio
covered $1,000 acres surrounding the
city and flooded 40 residential blocks
The river may rise another four
inches to a crest of AS feet late to-
day it was predicted Coast guards
men and WPA workers continued on
duty.
A similar condition existed in the
Louisville. KY, area, where $50
families have left their homes. In
EQUATIONS against typhoid fever are
being given in all the stricken areas.
A total of $19,65506 was re-
corded in contributions to the In
fund this noon. The goal is $4,000.

URGES RECOGNITION
OF G. 0. P'S YOUTH
Republicans Speaker Points
to Leadership Needs.

"The young voter can be won, not
by leading him along path fixed
by the old-fashioned political
bosses, but by bringing him into the
front ranks to lead the fight" Will
liam G. Sparks, local attorney, said
at the Hoosier Republicans lunch
con this noon in the Columbia Club.
1T is obvious that the leaders
must have the spirit and vigor of
youth in this important fight. The
youth of this country will march
behind leaders of its own choosing
and of kindred spirit. 1t will not
be led by self-appointed leaders
with selfish interests he said.
THE defeat of the bureaucrats
will not solve the many serious
problems that exist in this country.
Those not created by this admins
tration will remain to be solved.
1t is important to the welfare of the
nation that these problems be rec
ognized and met with real sympa-
thy and a high degree of honesty.
The Republican Party must be led
by men of that mind"

Receive Minimum Pay,
Olive States.

A certified public accountants
statement on wage scales at the VIM.
H. Block Co., where approximately
IA delivery drivers and helpers are
on strike supported by building
trades, was issued today.
In response to newspaper requests
for comment, the Block company re-
leased the following letter of March

Co. accountants:
I'VE have made an examination of
the pay roll records of the VIM. H.
Block Co.. Indianapolis, Ind, for
various weekly periods to and in
Guiding March 10, 1886. In connec-
ton Herewith we examined or
tested accounting records of the
company and other supporting evil
dence and obtained information and
explanations from officers and en-
ployes of the company, but we did
not make a detailed audit of all pay
roll transactions.
In our opinion, based upon such
examination, the following COM
ments fairly present the facts dis
closed by our investigation:
Il. Based upon pay rolls selected
by us at random for verification, the
VIM. H. Block Co. has continued
since the Supreme Court decision on
the NRA to comply with the wage
scale requirements of that act to
and including March 10, 1896.
No employee has been paid or il
being paid at less than the mini
mum wage rate of So week, fixed
in such code for apprentices; OF ap-
proximately 1850 employees shown
on the pay roll for March 10, 1886
only 16 regular employees were being
paid this minimum wage, all others
being paid at rates in excess of such
amount.
90. In all instances selected by us
at random for verification, the VIM.
H. Block Co. paid its employees COM
pensation when due for hours
worked in excess of the fixed limit,
excluding time necessary in clock
ing in and out.
IS. On Jan. II, 1886, the wage
scale for drivers and helpers en-
ployed by the VIM. H. Block Co. was
as follows:
Drivers: 10 at $21 per week of
46 hours; at $3.50; at 1880;
plus additional pas for overtime.
Eleven drivers received an average
weekly wage, including overtime, of
$3064 for the four wees ending

Helpers: 2 at $18 per week of 46
hours; at $3.50; 2 at $14.5O; at
$14; plus additional pay for over
time.
"We were informed that helpers
are those who ride the trucks with
the drivers, and that the differences
in wages within each class were due
to the nature of the work and
length of service" -

.INDIvIDUALISTIC
SOCIETY FLAYED
BY PHILOSOPHER
Harvard Lecturer Declares
Many Men Mere 'Trun-
Gated TorSos.'

ItmeS special
BLOOMINGTON, Ind, March 81.
Rugged individualism has pro-
duced human beings who at their
maturity remain "truncated torsos
of humanity stuck around in hand
some private estates" Professor Will
liam E. Hooking, visiting professor
of philosophy at Indiana University
from Harvard, told an audience here.
His address was the second on the
Mahlon Powell Foundation series
dealing with indiviudalism in So
ciety.
Discussing results of capitalism,
Professor Hooking declared capital
ism may be regarded as having
solved the problem of production
but that it. has not solved the prob
lem of distribution. Applying this
thesis to human activities, DR.. Hook
ing spoke, in part, as follows:
Private rights of all kinds can
produce. They have made in this
country nation of men such as
nowhere else can be found; but they
can not distribute those men into
the common life These rugged in
dividuals at their maturity remain
truncated torSos of humanity
stuck around in handsome private
estates.
Have No Mission
''They have nothing to do but to
enjoy themselves, their wealth,
their self esteem. They have no
mission and the rights they claim
become social protection to a low
grade aesthetic consciousness. The
society that flowers into these
sturdy unfragrant weeds as it's best
blossom is a moral and cultural
failure"
Discussing the "dialectic" prin-
ciple in evaluating history, which
holds that extremes of society do
not represent underlying truths,
Prof. Hooking pointed out that
there is some good in all historical
principles.
I'm Hegers Interpretation of his
tory" said the speaker, progress
was assumed to take place, not by a
steady forward motion, but by
shifts from one extreme to another.
followed by a. reconciliation in
which some part of both extremes
were preserved"
MARKHAM Trend Noted
Marx, as a. rebellious disciple of
Hegel, maintained his belief in this
dialectical principle of history. In
his view the individualistic economy
characteristic of capitalism was a
partial view which must lead to its
opposite, socialsm--where, for some
reason, he supposed the dialectical
process would settle down and rest.
IF Marx were alive today, he
would doubtless feel that the course
Of events was bearing out his view.
though in none of the three great
states in which we find collectivist
policies in force has the overturn
come about by anything resembling
Cne line OF Marks argument.
"A true dialectical movement
runs slow and deep; it's motives lie
below the surface of most contem-
porary minds. For the masses it
means general change in intuitive
attitudes.
1T is the tragedy of contempo-
rary history that it's rapid rate of
change gives control to impression
istic thinking and fashions in &C.
ton.
and judgment which takes the
form, liberalism has failed-away
with it, or capitalism has failed
away with it, stamps itself as a
product of petulance rather than
of the dialectic of history"

NO PRICE RISE HERE.

Despite decrease of approximately
5000 gallons in the daily local milk
supply over a period of a week. due
to drought and feed shortage in the
milk producing areas upon which the
Maryland-Virginia Milk Producers
Association draws for supplies, there
is no immediate prospect of an in
crease in prices locally, it was stated
today at the association headquarters.
las far as we know new, no increases
in retail milk prices in Washington Is
expected" the association announced.
1t was explained that during the
last week the local milk supply de-
clined sharply, but that during the
past two days the production appar-
emily has been stabilized and. while
it still is short Of the former aver
age of $1,000 gallons day, the situ-
alton is not regarded as serious.
If, however, the supply should
again begin dropping at the rate Of
last week, it Is possible the effect
might become serious and might re-
suit in increased prices. The asso-
citation explained that it has nothing
to do with the retail prices in Wash
ington directly, but that 1t antici-
pated no change in the retail prices
and contemplated no immediate
change in the prices 1t pays producing
farmers III the local area.
