CITY CIVIC BODY
ELECTS WETTER
Federation Renames Chief;
Pastor Named First
Vice President.

Paul c. Wetter today started an
other term as president of the local
Federation of Community Civic
Clubs, a position he has held since
1888. Mr.. Wetter, an attorney and
a former judge of Municipal Court
was reelected by the board of di-
rectors last night at a regular
monthly meeting in the Washing
ton.
The Rev. L. G. E. Fackler was
named first vice president; Cecil M
McConahay, second vice president;
Mrs. Florence K. Thacker re-
elected secretary, and George @
Bruce was named treasurer. Di-
rectors are Mr.. Wetter, Oscar F.
Smith, Edward o. Snethen and Mrs.
Thacker. C. G. Livingstone and Mr..
Snethen we're named to the audit
ing committee.
Following his reelection, Mr..
Wetter made a plea to the Fed
Grafton for it's support in cam
paign for lower taxes, a reduction
in utility rates and to bring natural
gas here next year. P. j. Minck,
executive secretary of the local Mu-
nicipal League, proposed that the
Federation back a movement to in
stall meters for the city street and
park lighting system, declaring the
present system was costing tax
payers 500 day more than neces-
Sary.
A program of instrumental music
was provided by group of pupils
from the State School for the
Blind.

they take shift soil-depleting crops
and to Soil-conserving.
Federal bounties are paid to farm
ers converting up to Is per cent of
their soil-depleting acreage into
conserving crops.
Example Is Outlined
For example, a farmer with 100
acres of actual cropland, who had
70 acres in soil depicting acreage.
would receive benefits of an esti-
mated $40 to $11 an acre on all
acreage converted up to Is per cent
of the 70 acres. Fifteen per cent of
the 70 acres is los acres. His bene-
fits would be the los acres multi
piled byq SO or Sill. In the case of
$40 this would mean $105 in bene-
fits from the Federal government.
MIR. Troyer pointed out that in
addition a farmer could receive 81
an acre for placing acreage in soil
building legumes such as crimson
clover or soy beans and then turn
ing them under as green manure
crop.
Soil-depleting crops in addition to
corn, tobacco and potatoes, are
wheat, oats, barley, rye (harvest
for grain or hay), sudan grass and
millets (harvest for hay or seed)
Soil-conserving crops include Glow
ers, grasses and other annual le-
! gumes.
IS Attend Meeting
Yesterdays district meeting in
Rushville was attended by IS farm
leaders and county agents from II
counties.
Mr.. Troyer and Peter j. Lux
Shelbyville, chairman the meeting
urged the farmers and. county
agents to complete all organization
work within 10 days.
Farm surveys in all counties will
begin as soon as the little AAA or
ganizatlon is set-up. Each farmer
will receive a work sheet for de-
claring his intentions of converting
his cropland to soil-conservine
acreage. The performance as
pledged on that work sheet will be-
termine the Federal bounties to be
paid him.
THE farmer signs no contract
We merely tell him what ne can dc
so that he can derive monetary
benefit from his performance" Mr.
Troyer explained.
County agents attending yester-
days meeting expressed the belief
that the change of pace in crop
reduction, caused by ousting of the
AAA, may mean that more farmers
will cooperate and that larger
benefits are possible for those farm
ers who have made a practice OF
sowing soil-depleting crops. The
base Of bounties is broadened un-
der the conservation program to the
point where farmer with acreage
suffering from erosion is benefited
greatly by abandoning that acreage
for corn production, it is said.

CITY CONSIDERS
S275-PER-MILE
TROLLEY OFFER
indianapolis Railways Bid
Hailed as Step Toward
Accord.

City officials today hailed the pro-
posed trackleSs trolley contract sub
mitted to the Works Board yester-
day as definite step toward settle
ment of the indianapolis Railways
franchise dispute.
In its proposal the railway COM
pany revealed that it was willing to
pay the city at the rate of S275 a
mile annually for the use of certain
streets under a 20-year franchise.
When the company's expansion pro-
gram is completed. its trackless
mileage is to include 1913 miles.
AT the rate suggested. the COM
pany would pay the city approxi-
mately sl3,475 annually, which is
about $4,000 more than the $1,000
the city has received since trackleSs
trolleyS made their debut here.
Under the terms of temporary per-
mitS, the company has paid the
city s. per cent of reconstruction
costs and 10 per cent of resurfacing
costs for improvements and repairs
to streets on which trolleys operate.
OCdic ITONlueO
The new contract provides for a
sliding scale of payments for use of
the streets. The first year the COM
pany would pay S13750 a mile. and
gradually increase this amount to
S380.76 through the seventh year.
Starting with the eighth year, it
would pay $275 for the duration of
the franchise. Under terms of the
contract, payments would start in
1887 and would be paid semi
annually
Permission also was asked to dis
continue street car service on Gen.
| tral-av. Minnesota-st and Lincoln-
st, and substitute trackless trolleyS.
The contract also set out that the
company would make a street con-
form to the condition or type Of
payment in the event that a line was
abandoned.
While not committing himself on
the proffered contract, Mayor Kern
did say it was his opinion that a
franchise based on annual payments
for the number of miles of streets
traversed by the trolleys constituted
the basis of desirable contract for
the city.
Further Study Planned
The Mayor pointed out thai
when the company increased its
mileage, the city automatically
would benefit in proportion. in
stead of having to enter into a new
agreement.
Members of the board and Corpo-
ration Counsel James E. Deery, de-
clined to comment until after they
had studied and discussed the pro-
posed contract.
A public hearing may be held
next week.

Rebirth of Hope for Jewish Youth in
Palestine Described by Young Leader
Children Taken Far From
German Hatreds, She
Explains.

The dawn OF new ana comment
Jewish civilization in Palestine, far
from the despair and hatred of
Germany, was described today by
Mrs. Use Warburg, young leader of
the German Jewish youth move
ment.
Mrs. Warburg is visiting Mrs. j.
A. Goodman, a director of Hadas-
sab, American wing Of the Pales-
tine movement. Mrs. Warburg ad-
dressed a group at Mrs: Goodmans
home last night, her eighty fifth
American lecture.
AS she talks in her soft voice,
Mrs. Warburg, member of a
prominent German Jewish family,
inspires confidence in the move
ment that has been her life since
April, 1888.
Jewish Culture Recreated
The transportation of children
from IS to II from humiliation in
Germany and the despair of refuge
camps scattered throughout Europe
means the recreation of Jewish
culture and ideals and the rebirth
of new lives to Mrs. Warburg.
On the land purchased from the
Arabs, the Jewish youth grow their
food.
1--WE give the children technical
training in crafts, carpentry, me-
chanics, iron work and horticulture
and agriculture. We do not en-
courage professional training, be-
cause we believe they should be in
dependent, that is, able to make
their own livelihood with their
hands" Mrs. Warburg said.
There are no limits to our flu
ture if We have the cooperation of
the Jewish people. The young Jews
are bringing new life and energy
to Palestine. What is most i'm
portant is that we are restoring lost
confidence to human beings.
German Situation Desperate
"The situation in Germany is so
desperate that Palestine means the
opening of new life to these young
people. The theory behind the
youth movement is that it is al
most impossible to rescue the old
generation. But the youth are able
to respond and adjust themselves to
the new mode of living"
Mrs. Warburg lives in Palestine,
the assistant to Miss Henrietta
Sold, 75-year-old American Jewess,
who directs tn eyouth colonies.
Mrs. Warburg explained that
"aliyah," term symbolical of the
youth movement, means going
up"
Children Given New Hope
1.-THE children are given new
hope and new land. That is why
going to Palestine is going up"
Mrs. Warburg said.
She said that parents, frequently
with tears in their eyes, apply to the
youth movement authorities to have
their children sent to Palestine. She
told of one club-footed boy who
slowed away on a boat from War
saw, Poland, and then dragged him.

ing under the near-eastern sun in
a COLONY garden. Approximately
1900 children have been taken to
Palestine under the sponsorship of
the "aliyah."
Cost Is Outlined
The cost of maintaining one child
is $3.50 for the two-year course.
After the two years, sthe young
workers are skilled enough to take
their places independently in the
growing civilization.
She said that the contributions of
American Jewry are doing much to
make reality of the new civiliza-
ton which, she feels, is the saliva
