I din shocked to hear that thd plumpers and electricians hare applied -for a license ordinance. 1 really didn’t know business was that bad. I have a trade too, but I just do a good job, charge a right price, and repeat business always follows. Os course maybe their business ' isj different. One guy told me he charged from the time the phone rang, gathering his tools, and time going and coming. Then too, he might forget some of his tools and might hate to make 3 or 4 extra trips.

Make* a job rgn party ybe no repeat business. Hum, hum. — tough business;—need some help:— need a license ordinance! 11l let you in on a little secret. You’ve got a plumbers license ordinance already on the books, and you've been violating it all these years. They tried to apply it on me 20 years ago and when I investigated, I found that one plumber's license ran out in 1894, another in 1923, anjLthe rest never had any, and the* only plumber who was licensed to plumb in the city of a- man in Berne, Ind. If don’t believe me look up the Tecords. You’ll find them at the City Hall. And now a-wort| to the mayor and the city and especially the one who wondered if some might be able H&Jitialify. “They didn’t ask to disqualified, they asked be "loused"! And if either of the tw« candidates for mayor, and the council think this, idea will be popular with the

little man who pays the bill*, or the housewife who is already desperate trying to make ends meet with the high cost of living, let them sponsor such an ordinance, make it a campaign issue, and let the count of the votes attest that the little man still prefers to fix his own pipe leaks, or install a wall plug, especially when it saves him a few dollars for his bread and butter. Mr. and Mrs. Decatur —you all realize how when a pipe sprung a leak or a short developed in your lights at a time of night or on a weekend, when plumbers and electricians were off duty, and you were able to secure a handyman who fixed you up and kept your utilities operating after a very short interruption,—wasn't it nice? But this handy-man won’t be licensed and when your plumbing springs a leak or your wiring develops a short on a Saturday evening, and you call a plumber or an electrician, Who is just ready to go ’up town, and he tells you to wait' till Monday and you can hold your finger on the leak in the pipe till he gets there. And I say it’s a hoax when they petition a license ordinance in order to obtain a code of uniformity. It’s legalized elimination that thtey want and nothing else. We dan have a code, of installation and maintainance without ever a need of a license. But a license prohibits you frcfn doing yoUr own work or getting a handy-man to do it for you, and forces all this extra business to those who have petitioned this license ordinance. You can’t run your own house any more, —the plumbers and electricians will tell you who you must get to do your work. Is this America or Russia? And if, by the chance of fate, this- license ordinance should pass,—l don’t ever want to see a plumber or electrician mow his own yard, wash his car, paint his house, or drive a nail,—for there are people who earn their living by that very work and you are on their business and they might object and petition for a license ordinance just as you have doner Now fellows, let’s get together on an idea. Resolve to live and let live. You haven’t been doing too bad. And if this license ordinance is passed, then I call upon ever.v trade in Decatur, even down to the paper boys, to petition a similar ordinance for they haVe the same right and same reason •to be licensed..-

NY Police Apprehend 7 On Narcotic Raid New York, Aug. 31. —(UJP) —- Police jailed sevbn men today and busted a Harlem heroin ring said to 'gross almost >2,000,000 a year in sales to peddlers who flew from Boston, Detroit, Chicago and Los Angeles to pick up their supplies. ■ Detectives said x the leader was Jack Rutigliano, ajias Jake Rudley, who was charged with acting in concert with the other six, all of, [whom admitted complicity. They were charged with possession of narcotics with intent to sell. / I’m “regusted” and I know plenty others feel likewise. Speak up voters, now is your chance. Do it now, or don't sob afterwards. Everybody opposed to having your rights stolen from you should write this column at once. Let the plumbers and the electricians {and the “City Dads” know' that you're not asleep.
