OPPOSE CHANCE IN STATE AID Taxpayers Associations Oppose Change In State Aid Plans Indianapolis, July 12.—KU.R> — Representatives of taxpayers associations of Indianapolis and the larger counties in the state today had gone on record as strenuously opposing the proposed change in state aid for local welfare units. [ Under Gov. M. Townsend's proposal, $2,000,000 would be taken from the state surplus for immediate tax relief which would be distributed to counties on the basis of tax rates. Representatives of tax associations throughout the state, meeting here yesterday, urged Gov. Townsend to set a one year limit on his plan while a group be chosen to study the problem. They asserted basing the additional aid on tax rates is unfair because of wide variation of assessed valuations in cunties and claimed the plan would put a premium on low assessments, penalizing the counties where assessments are set closely to full value. The plan calls for no aid to be extended to counties with rates of 10 cents or less while counties j with rattes of from 11 to 15 cents : would receive an additional allotment of state aid equal to 25 per cent of amounts levied over 10 cents. Counties with rates over 15 cents would receive 25 per cent of the amount over 10 cents in addition to 50 per cent aid from amounts over 15 cents. GOV. TOWNSEND •(CONTINUED FKOIT ?AGB ONE) peace between labor and industry, and reduce traffic accidents—have been realized during Townsend's term, he said. He said that 700 disputes, involving 151,000 workers have been solved “peacefully and satisfactorily” by the state division of labor and that traffic deaths have been reduced 25.8 per cent. Other achievements of the state administration were “an arrangemen of the gross income tax which has helped the retail merchant,”; development of rural electriflca- j tion, assisting the federal government and preserving of the health of our people” by the state board of health. “Government in Indiana with all its increased services has been able to reduce costs and maintain a balanced budget. Comparing the last year of Republican state administration with the first year of this administration, the cost of government in Indiana has been reduced $18,400,000.” Townsend said he would ask the the date for paying motor vehicle next general assembly to chance fees from Jan. 1 to June aO, end of the fiscal year. He said that he will ask the legislature to appropriate funds from the $24,600.000 surplus in the state treasury to aid counties in paying t)ie costs of poor relief. “Opposed to us are the reactionaries and do-nothings who are indifferent to the social problems! which have such a deep and lasting effqct on the lives of all people. They cannot lift their eyes and face the future with reality and thus cannot recognize the need for progress.” Townsend said he did “not wish in any way to dictate to the Democratic party its nominee for any office” and that the delegates should "be given every opportunity to select the candidates they believe will best represent our party.” He recounted the achievements of the national administration under President Roosevelt and of the state administration under Paul V. McNutt and himself. People "looked with dull despair at what seemed to be the end of our civilization" when Herbert Hoover's term of office ended and “the great humanitarian, Franklin D. Roosevelt, came to lead them out of the valley of sorrows,” Townsend said. "With his love for the common people, with his smiling courage, he tpuud jobs and food and security for the people of America. But more than this President Roosevelt

MINTON LAUDS THE NEW DEAL Convention Chairman Praises Roosevelt In Convention Speech Indianapolis, July 12—(U.R) -Sen. Sherman Minton, permanent chairman of the Democratic slate convention, today sounded high praises for President Roosevelt and the new deul ln addressing the 2,258 | convention delegates. "There he stands today, tho Idol of the masses of America, the best i beloved man in this troubled world, the author of the new deal, the captain of the hosts of democracy —may we ever he worthy of his i leadership—Franklin D. Roosevelt,” Minton said. "I believe profoundly In the ! Democratic processes, the life of which stems from the people who I have created those processes to j carry out their will, that men, women and children might have | life, liberty and happiness in great abundance. I believe there ls no sanctity that comes from their success in the service of the people. I worship no symbols. I believe that government should be made to work for the people, and not to be manipulated by a few 1 people, wherewith to oppress the 1 many." |* Minton cited the bank holiday, . the CCC camps, the home owners I corporation, the social security program, the labor relations act and atyl-monopoly legislation as devices the new deal employed to bring greater security to the common people. “And finally, these millions of men. women and children who were I caught in the cruel grip of a depression. not of their making, cried out for bread, and they were told that it was unconstitutional for the federal government to relieve them from starvation, until there came a man, whose heart was touched, a man of action, who believed it was the first duty of government to see that its citizens did not starve, j and on that memorable March 4th. i 1933, his clear voice carried over i the ether the message to anxious | millions that no man, woman or : child would starve in this great, i rich country. He not only brought i them food, hut honest labor in wealth building and preserving projects, and today these humble people bless him who came to them with relief in the darkest hour of their need.” Greetings From McNutt Indianapolis, July 12 — (U.R) — \ Former Gov. Faul V. McNutt, Philippine Island commissioner widely ; considered to he a potential 1940

| Democratic presidential nominee, ! (.oclay wrote the Indiana Democratic convention that he consid- ! ered the party "militant and united,” and facing “another battle ln the cause of humanity.” Sending “affectionate greetings” to the convention delegates, McNutt said: "It is not enough to be content ! with the glories of past perform--1 ances. This is still a testing time i for democratic self-government. “New problems arise which chal- ' lenge ingenuity and prowess. 1 i am confident that you are worthy I of tho great trust, that you will choose the high course of action, safeguarding the unfortunate, removing the threat of unemployment. providing for those who are In want, protecting the rights of those who labor, adequately supporting the schools, equalizing the tax burden, maintaining a balanced budget, and improving all public service. “I am happy to be your comrade in the ranks as you march to certain victory this fall.” Q County Treasurer Confined To Home Jeff Liechty, county treasurer, is still confined to his home today suffering from an attack of "summer flu.” lie kt repored to be feel- ' ing a little better today. ! laid the foundation for a better and more secure security.” The president’s new recovery program has had “an immediate effect,” he said. “Since the passage of the recovery program, which cost $3,000,000,000. stocks have increased in value $10,000,000,000. In other words, the investor has received already more than three times the original value of the tax he will pay for recovery. That doesn’t sound like spending will ruin America!” “I say we shall go ahead. We will continue the kind of government which is deeply sympathetic to the welfare of the common people. | “In Indiana the people shall be ' fed. The unemployed must have ! work. The farmer and the labor--1 er and the business man must have a fair share of the wealth they produce. The old must have security and the young opportunity. “And all this shall be achieved by democracy—by a free people guaranteed freedom of thought and worship. “To these purposes. I dedicate the entire resources of the great state of Indiana.”

HOLD PRIMARY IN OKLAHOMA Results Os Democratic Primaries Watched With Interest Washington, July 12 — (U.R) — Democratic primary voters lit Oklahoma are subjecting President Roosevelt'B campaign strategy to its first 1938 test today. Tests to come in Kentucky, Maryland and possibly Georgia and South Carolina will have much more at stake, both from the standpoint of new dealers and of socalled conservative Democrats. But returns from Oklahoma's primary generally will be Interprets bypolitical observers ln light ox Mr. Roosevelt’s words during a brief stop-over last week in Oklahoma City. This trans-continental journey marks his first personal intervention in the 1938 primaries. Works Progress Administrator Harry L. Hopkins threw his hat in the air for Rep. Otha D. Wearin, D„ la., who opposed the renomination of Sen. Guy M. Gillette, D.. la. But lowa voters preferred Gillette. Postmaster General James A. Farley tried to adjust a Pennsylvania party row by endorsing a compromise slate. The voters nominated Gov. George H. Earle for the senate, as they doubtless would have done without Farley's endorsement. But they rejected the candidacy ot' Thomas Kennedy, United Mine Workers officials, who was backed by Chairman John L. Lewis ot the C. I. O. and a Democratic faction for gubernatorial nomination. There have been some lesser instances of administration activity iu primaries already concluded. Hut on major tests to date the administration's prestige has not gained from primary experiences. Mr. Roosevelt’s speech ln Oklahoma City July 9 was widely read as a moderate and cautious endorsement of the renomination candidacy of Sen. Elmer Thomas. D., Okla , who is opposed by another new dealer. Gov. E. W. Marland, and by Rep. Corner Smith. D., Okla.. former vice president of the Townsend old age pension organization. To the tune of “My Oid Friend,” Mr. Roosevelt spoke kindly of Thomas. He spoke well of Maryland. too, but in words which seemed to some seasoned observers to give Thomas an edge. Some of these same listeners came away from the Oklahoma City meeting convinced that the president had intended his speech to lie an indirect repudiation of Smith's candidacy and of the gubernatorial aspirations of William It. (Alfalfa Bill) Murray. Bo > Thomas and Marland expressed satisfaction with Mr. Roosevelt's speech. Smith denied it was “a rap for me." But renomiuation of Thomas generally would be viewed as a boost for administration prestige ill the southwest. Mr. Roosevelt did not duplicate [ in Oklahoma his tactics in Kentucky where a new deal governor aspires to the senate seat of a newdeal senator. In Kentucky he endorsed Sen. Alben W. Barkley, D.. Ky., in unmistakable language at the expense of Gov. A. B. (Happy) Chandler. Os almost as much interest as the Oklahoma senatorial race was the Democratic campaign for governor. William H. (Alfalfa Bill) j Murray, inferentially spoken ot by j Mr. Roosevelt as "that nationally j known Republican," sought to become the first Oklahoma governor to be reelected. W. S. Key, former stato WPA administrator, and Leon C. Phillips, state legislator and attorney, were Murray's principal opponents. Key : claimed a presidential blessing in that Mr. Roosevelt complimented the workings of the WPA in Oklahoma, but Phillips contended that Mr. Roosevelt had intended to make no reference as to his choice in the governor's race. o * TODAY'S COMMON ERROR * i I GiU (monster) Is pronounced Uee'-la; not gee'-la.
