Small But Formal Home I y ~~ T —- "~“ B wiirt ★

This small home can boast a stateliness and dignity that many houses much larger may not achieve. The attractive doorway, its double windows, and the accessibility of the bath from each of the rooms remove this home from the class to which it would normally belong. Appraised by the Federal Housing Administration at SS.O“S. it was built under an FHA-insured mortgage of SI,BOO. Monthly payments under the Insured Mortgage System are all inclusive: Reduction of principal, interest, taxes, mortgage insurance, hazard insurance, and water rents, in some instances.

our office, and will not he opened for inspection to the public by anybody. Regarding the amount of th> pledge they have stated that it has been suggested that a reasonable amount for employees of the various departments of the government in the state house would be 5% of one year’s salary. In order that the "desires of the commission may lie carried out, yoji will find attached a pledge card, divided into two pans, each of which bears the same number." The inconsistency of the Republican attitude is instantly discerned and this same inconsistency is borne out in the stand the Republicans have taken on their bill to make the office of the attorney general elective instead of appointive. In his message to the general assembly of 1919 Governor James P. Goodrich then Republican governor of Indiana had this to say: "I recommend that the office of attorney general as an elective office be abolished and that the governor bo authorized to appoint the attorney general on and after the expiration of the term of the present incumbent. Mr. Stansbury.” ”1 do not believe that we will be treading on dangerous ground if we give the next chief executive of Indiana, whoever he might

be. the right to choose his own legal advisor, a right accorded to the mayor of every city in the State and to every other executive official from the President of the United States down to the most unassuming county commissioner." If the general assembly merely studied and put into effect recommendations of various commissions named to investigate and report to the general assembly on phases of government it would have its hands full. For instance, there are now on the desks of the members of the legislature vuluminons’ reports including that of the Indiana Tax Study Commission, a volume of 200 printed pages, the report of the Governor's Commission on the Study of Election I.aws, the committee report on the Study and Survey of the Indiana State Printing Law. the report of the Committee on Interstate Cooperation, the Report of the New Harmony Memorial Commission, the report of tlie Department of Financial Institutions on the Investigation of Dealing in Motor Vehicles, the report of the Commission to study and report upon a system of State Insurance for Workmen's Compensation. and the report of the Governor's Commission on Liquor Control. This latter commission, w-hich made its report on January

4 this year recommends among other things repeal of the Importer provisions of the present liquor law, enactment of a defensive reciprocal statute to meet the problems of liquor control with other states': enactment prohibiting extension of credit both in the wholesale and retail marketing of liquors; legislation amending the present law to require all fraternal clubs and lodges of whatever name io comply with the provisions of the law regarding license fee, public visibility, closing hours, and general conduct of business; that bottling of beer in Indiana manufactured in other states be prohibited; making sale of alcoholic beverages after midnight unlawful except on New Year's Eve when the commission might extend the closing hours: a substantial increase in number of excise police; to remove the restrictions on wholesaler permits now based on population; requiring a special entertainment permit costing $25 where music, dancing, or other entertainment is provided for patrons; and an appropriation sufficient for the alcoholic beverage commission to carry on a program of education of the general public concerning the liquor control act. what constitutes violations, the rights of citizens, and the duties

of public officials under the act. The chairman of this commission is William H. Settle, former president of the Indiana Farm Bureau Federation. Members of these commissions have spent considerably more time Investigating these various subjects than any single member of the legislature can hope to spend during the short time of the session. And since these commissions were authorized by a proceeding general assembly, unless their recommendations are considered seriously by the present assembly in enactment of law the state will have spent considerable money and the members of these Investigating commissions will have done their work In vain. o - — - FALL OF BARCELONA iUUNTINUED FHUII MOB ONbi was: Rebel troops under Gen. Juan Yague advanced up the Mediterranean coastal highway, south of Barcelona, past the village of Gava, which is seven miles by direct line from the capital. That meant, the rebel headquarters at Burgos said, that nationalist artillery had the busy Barcelona harbor and the main part of the city within range at noon. Yague's troops then pushed along the highway toward the river Llobregat, which at that point, is only three miles from Barcelona but is so wide that crossing it against the loyalist defense lines might be costly or impossible. As a result, the Franco troops sought to maneuver around the loyalist defense line in order to break it and clear the way for Yague's men to cross. To do that, thev circled Martorell, 10 miles north of Barcelona, and also on the river Llobregat. South of the town—still held by loyalists—the rebels reported that they had crossed the river, smashed through loyalist defenses and were moving southeastward dow nthe eastern bank of the river on Barcelona. In that way, the rebel column moving down from Martorell sought to turn the main loyalist defenses and force the loyalists nearer the mouth of the river to fall back. Progress of the rebels in that maneuver appeared slow.

! however. Troops Advance With Nationalist Armies, on the Catalan Front, (via Lerida), Jan. JI (U.R> Gen Francisco Franco’s nationalist armies poured across I the Llobregat river plain this af- ' ternoon toward Barcelona, the i main objective of a month-long offensive through the Catalan hills. ‘ As this dispatch was filed at 2:35 p. tn. the military messages I from the advance units repfn ted I that. Navarrese and Moroccan i troops were battering at enemy lines manned by troops which the nationalist advices describe as "hungry, demoralized 'and leaderless.” The nationalist dispatches reported an advance averaging about five miles on all fronts since dawn as their troops sought to encircle Barcelona and cut off the city from Its communication lines with the French frontier. Martorell and Manresa, two important towns in this maneuver, have been encircled and the occupation of Manresa has begun, the dispatches reported. Gen. Juan Yague reported his troops had swarmed over Gava, seven miles south of Barcelona on the coastal highway, and were less than five miles from the outskirts of the capital by direct air line. From the west, the Navarrese reported they had broken loyalist lines, crossed the Llobregat river and were marching on Molins Del Rey, less than five miles west of ' Barcelona Six nationalist divisions were within sight of the capital, which was under direct fire from many i batteries. the nationalist dis ’ patches reported. It was stated, ! however, that the artillery has not I fired on the heart of the city. Virtually all heights outside
