“Out of Politics.

And to complicate further, a utility election is called for April 24, just on the eve of the primary, that day being selected, according to that eapient statesman and thiaker, Councilman Tumleson, in order to “keep the thing out of politics,” while at the same time he vigorously applauds and votes for a proposal to prevent action on the government’s approval of an application for an allocation of over a million dollars, directly in opposition to the theories of the Roosevelt recovery plan. Being a candidate himself, Bob and 'some others are in favor of putfliig off the government loan business until AFTER the primary for the ‘reason, presumably, that he ascribes in demanding that the other election be held BEFORE the primary to “keep it out of politics.” Municipal ownership is a popular thought, one that has been my hobby for many years and it astonishes me to note the personnel of some of the late converts to the cause, and it is my hope that the real friends of municipal ownership will carefully diagnose motives, before joining in a stampede to nominate candidates for city offices who climb on a band wagon with their fingers crossed. Weary, Uphill Fight. It would be a calamity, indeed, if J,he voters here should unwittingly allow some popular movement to put thO old bi-partisan gang back into power, the gang that trafficked in street contracts and made Muncie the laughing stock of the nation by its brazen partnership with crime and criminals. For more than four years I have made a weary, uphill light to de fend and protect the rights of the citizens of Muncie. You know r the men who sought my personal and political ruin and you know' how President Roosevelt intervened and declared that he , had been shown that my accusers

were perjurers.

In my final extremity, with unmerited imprisonment staring me in the face and with Muncie about to be abased again, the greatest an thority in the w'hole W'orld, the President of the United States, threw the stop light in the faces of the perjurers and sternly said: “YOU SHALL NOT PASS!” Whispering Campaign On. And now the perjurers and suborners of perjury are calmly pursuing their whispering way, attempting to shake your confidence in my integrity in order that you might reverse your verdict at the polle so plainly expressed over

four years ago.

These unmitigated liars have bides so thick that they do not mind being called perjurers by the

President.

Probably they have not read the dictionary for some time and don’t know' what the word means. Or it may possibly be that they are proud that they have been noticed by the highest officer in America, even if he did point them out as the prize liars of the uni-

verse.

Some people sw^ell up inordinately over things that others hiight

1*09 Blit.

It isn’t everybody who bears the distinction of being called a liar by a President. Liars Feel Safe. And how well they know my disposition. They know that I will not prosecute them, ynor sue them for lying and hiring liars for the purpose of sending them to the penitentiary, so they feel perfectly safe in resuming their pleasant pastime. It should be recalled that five years or so ago these same liars went from house to house whispering venomous charges. Some of them w r ere darned near the truth and made me squirm a little, but the rest were so silly that nobody believed them. The result was that the people here didn’t believe any of it and called them all liars nearly five years in advance of the President s proclamation. I wouldn’t believe one of them if I knew he w'as telling the truth Neither would you. I’d hedge, at least, like Charley Murphy’s Irishman did about the

hog.

Just Like an Irishman. Charley lives in Brookston. He came within 3,000 votes of beating the late Will Wood for Congress in 1930 and Wood won in 1928 by over 40,000. I met Charley Tuesday and he told me the story and being Irish himself, the brogue was not omitted. ' The Irishman was taking a huge hog to market and passed Charley’s place in Brookston. “How' much will he w'eigh?” asks .Charley. “Cohsiderable,” was the reply. “How' much did he w'eigh?” asked Charley as the Irishman drove back in the evening. “He didn’t w'eigh as much as I thought he would, but I knew' he wouldn’t, giddap,” w r as the quick reply.

days appear and therefore prolongs the usefulness of pasture on

the farm.

Many feeders seem to be afraid that the blue grass will dry up. j But it should be remembered that “dry bread is considerably better than no bread at all.” Good livestock feeders have demonstrated the value of protecting such pastures, giving the grass a chance’ to establish itself in the spring, months. The practice of pasture rotation (which is, being adopted to some extent) whereby animalsare shifted from pasture to pastare shifted from pastude to-past-ure every week or ten days, is-

very closely and'j rnore conclusive evidence of the

desirability of such practices.More good grass will help solve a

lot of farm problems.

The Travelers Insurance Company has issued a booklet entitled “The Great American Gamble.” It consists of ap analysis of the automobile accident problem, along with graphic illustrations of the price we pay for allowing carelessness, incompetence and recklessness to run riot on our highways. Last year automobiles killed 29,200 people and injured 840,000. The record of fatalities on a per accident basis was 5.9 per cent greater than in 1932. Excessive speed was the main cause of death, closely followed by driving on wrong side of road, carelessness on part of pedetstrians, running off the roadway, passing on hills, curves, etc. What Speed Means. Some of the most vivid illustrations in the booklet deal with the potential destructive power of aii automobile. A car going 40 miles an hour, for example, is four times as capable of inflicting damage as one going twenty. At 60 miles an hour damage becomes nine times as great. A car moving at this last speed has the same capacity for damage as if it were diven off a ! building 120 feet high. To use another illustration, a car going 20 miles an hour occupies 38 feet of roadway in addition to its length. A car going 60 occupies 263 feet stopping distance. The horror of the automobile ac-! cident problem continues to grow. We have safer roads and cars blit we have so exaggerated the safety margins that we have actually made them more dangerous. Thd' American highway, is a shambles. Every reckless or incompetent driver and eVery car which is in a dangerous condition, menaces hun-

dreds of lives.

IF THE PEOPLE OF MUNCIE cast their votes on April 24th to purchase the utilities they will assume a huge burden of debt. Their action will COMPEL the city officials to apply to the courts to condemn the utilities. This means that the court will decide the amount of money which the city must pay for these properties.' THE VALUE OF THE BARE PHYSICAL PROPERTY OF THESE FOUR UTILITIES EXCEEDS THE SUM OF $10,0(70,000. But this is not all. The city must pay a large additional sum for what the courts call “severance damage.” This means an amount in addition to the cost of the property taken by the city. To illustrate “severance damage” let us assume that the State of Indiana would condemn a belt of land ten miles wide cutting directly across the Big Four Railroad between Cleveland and'St. Louis. This would pre-

vent through traffic. The value of the ten miles of track would be small but the severance damage because of destruction of through traffic would be enormous. In Hamilton Township the Indiana General Service Company has a large substation serving this city and other towns which cost $493,078.18. Although this substation is located outside the corporation limits of the City of Muncie it lies within the six-mile limit and would be included in the condemned property. With the substation taken, lines radiating from here to Alexandria, Hartford City, Anderson, Marion and other cities would lie rendered worthless and the city must pay for this “severance damage.” ON ELECTION DAY, TUESDAY, APRIL 24TH, GO TO THE POLLS AND VOTE “AGAINST” THE SCHEME TO LOAD THE CITY WITH THIS HUGE DEBT.
