THE FRIEND OF THE LABORING MAN!
THE RELIEF BILL
The agricultural relief bill has been passed by congress. The | bill is one which has been v/idely discussed and had for its object the exportation of farm products. There seems to be a vast difference of opinion as to its wisdom and as to whether or not it will be a relief for farmers. The farmer has lost heavily as well as the manufacturer, and mercantile business generally, but while the latter has various means for extending credits the farmer has been limited and as a result it is stated that millions j of dollars worth of food has not been harvested as farmers could I not capitalize operations. The farmers’ legislation is not class
Telephone 2540 legislation, but general legislations and it is to be hoped it will

work out in a way originally planned. The bill was originated by j Carl Vrooman, former assistant secretary of agriculture, who I proposed a corporation to give credit to foreigners on best security they could offer, but the bill was killed by the administration. Those supporting it worked hard and refused to accept defeat. ' Finally it was amended to prohibit credit to foreigners, much to
^ ^ . , , " ; . . . . ^ _ . * the displeasure of its supporters, Vrooman “emasculates the lav/” Dr. Bunch is blaming the democratic city administration for an( j w jfj no t gj ve farmers relief. He says “as we cannot get each. what he terms its failure to carry out his “policies.’> Through an ( the best thing is to sell on properly secured credits, the next unfortunate circumstance he was sent to prison in the middle of ' best to give them away and if we could not do that it would be his term as mayor, and during his absence, the stay-at-home f better if a bolt from the blue would destroy them.” Vrooman
democratic administration, left to shift for itself, went to the bowwows, according to the doctor. He seems to assume that all of the “mistakes” of Mayor Kelly and the council, would not have been made if he had still remained at the helm, and that he is in some way deserving of credit for not Joeing mayor at the time they made them. He is preparing to take political advantage of the fact that the democratic council passed that anti-jitney ordinance, on the assumption, of course, that with him as mayor the people and the jitney drivers would have prevented the' “outrage” and that he would have stood as an impregnable bulwark against the encroachments of a giant corporation. The jitney drivers and the public should not forget one thing, however, and that is that the first attack against the jitney drivers was made while Dr.- Bunch was serving as mayor, namely the passage of an ordinance requiring a fifty dollar a year license fee from jitney drivers. This ordinance, like the more drastic one recently passed, was promoted by the traction company. It passed over the violent protest of the jitney men and many disinterested citizens AND DR. BUNCH WAS MAYOR AT THE TIME. Why, therefore, should he assume to tell the jitney drivers that HE is their friend, and that if HE had been mayor the traction company would have been foiled in its attempt to put them out of business. Have the people forgotten the-rotten electric light deal that was put over under Dr. Bunch’s first administration? It was under his direction that the city sold out its distribution system to the electric light company, thus disposing of the last remnant of the municipally-owned utility to a giant corporation doing business at 60 Broadway. Did he at that time show any great love and friendship for the common people of Muncie? Was he on guard then for his pet political asset, “labor,” or was he the secret emissary of the public utility interests which he professes to abhor ? That deal was put over after Mayor Bunch had solemnly pledged himself to the theory of municipal ownership and after his public declaration that the light company would never secure ownership of the distribution system while he was mayor of
Muncie.
Why should Dr. Bunch pose as the friend of labor? What has he really done for the laboring man except to overwork his larynx in their behalf? While mayor he never in his life appointed a laboring man to any position of consequence. The laboring men voted for him and the politicians got the real jobs. Jobs on the police force, the streets ' and the garbage wagon were assigned to labor. The real jobs weht elsewhere. Labor took a long shot last fall and voted for normalcy. The = br^^i -grtxrrcrrrr-poliLics is the play the-friend-of-labor act. The biggest counterfeit friend of labor we know of, with the possible exception of Bill Daniels, is Doc Bunch.
characterizes the legislation as a “national and international tragedy.” How it finally works out the future alone can/tell. The banks will be benefitted, but whether or not the farmer is
benefitted remains a question.
COLLEGE TRAINING
Hundreds of boys and girls are leaving this month for colleges scattered all over the United Slates. The training they will receive represents a vast outlay of money, yet it cannot be denied it is money well spent. Some of these young people, on the very threshold of life, are taking upon themselves for the first time responsibilities of importance in “working their way through,” and these perhaps will have a greater appreciation of the training receive^. Unfavorable business conditions were expected to keep some away from college, other previous year graduates have entered business, while some have entered the marriage state and others expect to rest a year or so before continuing study. It has been proven that college trained men and women have reached higher success in life, no matter what vocation they expect to follow, for the vast majority of trained leaders have been through college. If it is found impossible to go to these higher institutes of learning it is not too late to repeat the old, old advice—to finish the public school of the community. Young people who leave school too soon will find themselves handicapped in later years. In Brooklyn an investigation was made a few years ago of salaries of students who graduated and those who failed

CHILD ELOPER TAKES CALF INSTEAD OF BOY LOVER Chicago—Bobby Rolle didn’t get married when he and Martha Jane Allyn eloped. They are only four years old. They went to the parson and when he inquired why, they said they wanted to marry. He asked for their license. They walked away downhearted. But Martha Jane was not disconsolate for long. Her mamma promised her a calf to play with. Bobby still believes the ways of true
love are rough.

He was accepted.

CONGRESSMAN VESTAL RECEIVES A Muncie daily Monday contained the following news item; “Congressman Albert H. Vestal of Anderson, will be in Muncie v next Wednesday for the purpose of receiving persons who reside, in the eighth congressional district who may have some request to make of him. He will be in rooms ^08 and 209, Hotel Roberts, from 9 a. m., until 7 p. m. Now wouldn’t that jar you? Salute the king, ye varlets! Put on a wig and knee panties, place a three cornered hat on your empty bean and approach on bended knees the throne of royalty! How many Muncie people availed themselves of the royal proclamation to feature in the role of court jester and humbly supplicate at the feet of the most puissant and might Prince Albert, of Anderson, Indianny? Not many, we trow. When some two by four congressman thinks he can get away with that sort of a stunt, in good old Munseytown he has a think coming. Picture the scene and weep.

Wooing the goddess in chance in Muncie is henceforth to be a sort of an Uncle Tom’s Cabin affair, only instead of two Topsies there will be two collectors. Somebody ought to look up the law and find out whether or not it is constitution to have two collectors. It looks like one ought to be enough, these hard times.
THE UNEMPLOYED
At the suggestion of President Harding a conference is to be held soon to map out and discuss plans whereby the number of unemployed in America may be reduced before winter. This seems a most gigantic task when, according to recent reports, there are about 700,000 in the country without work. Secretary Hoover, who is at the head, has announced' only general plans, but cooperation of national organizations will be sought in selecting delegates. Many comments editorially have been made concerning the conference and there seems to be a tendency to rely upon the legislation to remedy matters and to blame congress for the present state of affairs. Others believe the government cannot remedy the situation and that the depression can only be corrected through agreement of labor and capital. Public works has been suggested as a relief measure. The conference will not result in everybody going to work immediately, but it may and is hoped to prove of great value in relieving the depression and by finding the greater causes of disorder and removing them. Mr. Hoover has a real man’s sized job ahead of him, but it is generally believed he can successfully handle it.
