LIKENS GOODRICH RULE TO CANCER (, (Continued From Page One.) tion by limiting the session to the consideration of one subject. He concluded with an appeal to the voters to stand by the principles 01 .fefferson and of Lincoln. “I appeat to you to stand firmly for those principles,” he said, “to stand for them in peace as well as in war, in order that government of the people, by the people, and for the peofde shal not perish from the earth.” The full text of Dr. McCulloch's speech follows: “A cancer has attacked the body politic. From small beginnings It has reached out and spread its roots to every vital organ of the state. Great suffering has followed in its wake and all men call for Its removal. “This foul an malignant growth has been engrafted on the state by the republican party. This gnawing, eating thing owes its birth to the administration £iow seated at the statehouse at the capital, and this same administration -must bear the responsibility for its encroachments. "It is not a mere local affair. It is not a midsummer nightmare. It is deeper, more fundamental, more profound. Tt is a dread and deadly disease. which must be attacked first at its source and origin, and then followed with painstaking care and thoroughness to all of its ultimate ramifications. No mild measures are meant for its removal. No temporizing treatment will suffice for its cure. No cauterization around the edges will give relief. No amelioration can be secured from soothing plasters and balmy oils. The knife, gentlemen of the faculty who are sitting here tonight in consultation on the case, the knife alone will bring a cure. Cut. end cut to the bone. Shell out the large and threatening tumors—dissect away each reaching rotton root. "Never in recent years, aside from the great war just concluded, has the state been so menaced. Never since the Civil War has our beloved commonwealth been so threatened. “Stripped of all frills and furbelows, set forth In nakedness for your Observation, oue can see with clear vision

lined in distinctness again the velvet curtains of our ancient traditions the underlying principle which has been responsible for all the trouble and discontent of which we are oppressed, for all the dire disasters to our happiness and well being. “Centralization of power, gentlemen, centralization of power in the statehouse —that is the beginning and the end of what is so obnoxious to each and every individual who by the grace of God and opportunity lives in this pleasant land that Is splashed by the majestic breakers of Lake Michigan and laved by the cooling, soothing waters of the Ohio. CITIZENS RAVISHED OF THEIR RIGHTS. “The republican administration bas reached out to every township and town and so set the machinery of the law. that the inhabitants are ravished of their rights to regulate the most ' essential needs of their daily life. They have organized a lodge and as far as the people are concerned, It might well be termed a lodge sorrow. A tribunal Is established in the statehouse, and It has assumed the possession of all knowledge, and grasped firmly all power. “We can visualize the situation. There is a meeting of this lodge. The outer guard announces the arrival of a company of petitioners. The tribunal is enjoying its after-dinner cigar. Shall they be admitted? says the guard. They .are dusty and tired and are hungered from their long journey from the uttermost marches of the state. The sun is hot and there are no cooling shadows wherein to rest—no limpid streams to assuage their thirst. Then says the president of the lodge: “Let them wait without until we smoke another cigar.” Angry are the pilgrims and full of righteous wrath at such a welcome. “Willingly would they torn their backs and leave the lodge, with bitter maledictions. But they represent their people. Their personal feeling must be subordinated to the cause which they come to plead. So in humiliation do they stand awaiting the pleasure of those who sit in judgment on their welfare. “Their cause Is righteous, working 'good to many and evil to none. Two roads run south from a certain populous city in our state. They are slightly divergent and the distance between them grows greater as one follows a southerly course, and teh other veers to the southwest. Ten miles from the city they are separated a good three miles. At this point on each road Is a church. The petitioners wish a crossroad built that those who worship in the church on the opposite road may cross over, and avoid the necessity of a long Journey around to the city and back. The farming and commercial interests of the region are also in favor thereof. The country thereabouts is rich and prosperous. Smiling fields give promise of luxuriant harvests, well built barns are full of sleek and well-fed cattle. The impatient orchards call for props to support their groaning boughs burgeoned with fruit for winter use. The homesteads, white and green shuttered, all portray a happy and contented people, ■well endowed with this world's goods and amply able and more than willing to pay the cost of the improve ment for which they ask. No opposi t'en anywhere of any kind. Why. should not their righteous plea be granted? They have no expectations of any othe'- outcome. Annoyed they are perhaps by the contumelious reception of

The housewives would not buy 72cent eggs. this tribunal, which should be their servant. But such things are of small moment and soon to be forgotten when the object of their journey shall have been accomplished. WILL NOT LET RIGHT PREVAIL. “So, after due deliberation, after much irksome waiting, the high and mighty tribunal admits them to its awesome presence. “With a sense of conscious rectitude and full belief in the righteousness of tiieir mission, the pilgrims lay their petition on the bench, state their case and ask for the requisite authority t spend their own money in compliancs with the wishes of the good people whose spokesman they are. “No thought have they of a refusal, no glimmering of a disappointment has ever obtruded itself upon their Imagination. "Why should it? Who coula possibly be harmed by the establishment of a convenience for ail the country side? “But imagine their astonishment, theii chagrin, their disgust. Imagine their anger, bitter and well justified, when the tribunal, this commission, bands down this decision. ‘We will not ap prove the bond Issue for this road. Lei those who live on one road go to the church on the same highway. Let those who live on the other road attend the other church, regardless of re’igioua belief. The petition Is denied.’ “What right can there be in sucb a Mate of affairs as this? is none. Who can be a better judge of the nece*' sities and convenience and desires of community than those who live therein': \A hat docs representative government, amount to if the representatives can not be the Judge of what their people want ? “Is this right? Is this just? Ih this in accordance with the fundamental truths —truths, gentlemen, not theories, which were expounded by that greatest of ail democrats, Thomas Jefferson? DEMOCRATS STAND FOR HOME RCLE. “Home rule for the smaller units, for the town, townships and cities—freedom for the self-determination of their needs and desires—that is what the democratic party stands for. That Is Its ancient and honorable tradition and is the motive power and the force which shall carry it to victory at the coming election. "The people know it They want it. and they will demand It through the medium of their ballots In November. They cock their ears aloft to hear the first faint whisperings of its approach. They put an ear to the ground to decoming. “In full faith that into the hands of the people will be resubmitted the guid ance of their own welfare, do I demand the republican administration be dethroned. “It is a pleasure to meet with men who believe in democratic principles, be

INDIANA DAILY TIMES, FRIDAY, JANUARY 30, 1920.

cause I am convinced .that our greatest need today, nationally a* well as In the state of Indiana, is a recurrence to the fundamental principles on which our government was founded. There have been many volumes written about the conflicting ideas of Thomas Jefferson and Alexander Hamilton, but the one Important difference between them was that Jefferson believed that they needed a governing class to act as guardians of the public welfare. "Abraham Lincoln was preaching Jefferson doctrine when he said that no man was good enough to govern another man without the other man’s consent, for Jefferson was always opposed to the institution of slavery. If the American people were capable of self-government a century ago they certainly ought to I be capable of self-government now, with 1 all the advantages of education, and the ' newspaper and other facilities for eouI sidering public questions. Yet I ask I you to consider very seriously whether i they are capable of self-government if they permit, without protest, the violation by their chosen officials of their official obligations. “I submit to you that you arc not governed by your own consent when your officials violate tbe constitution, or the laws that have been made to regulate their action, or the obligations to conscientious performance 6f duty which is implied in their official oaths. What are you getting in Indiana? You may perhaps have heard that among other blessings, you have a reform tax law. You provided in your constitution that the general assembly should not pass any local or special law “for the assessment and collection of taxes for state, county, township or road purposes.’ In defiance of that provision this law undertakes to pass special and local tax laws for every county, township, city and town in Indiana. Why? On the avowed principle that the people of Indiana are not Intelligent enough for local self-government, and must have guardians who can administer their local affairs wisely. They tell you that if they had not violated the constitution In this matter, and In the matter of bond issues, local officials would have been foolishly extravagant in local expendl tu res. TAX BOARD HITS SCHOOLS. “Well, what do you think of your guardians? Some of you may have been obliged to go down to Indianapolis, aud get down on your knees to them to obtain what Is your constitutional right to decide. What of their wisdom iu governing you? One of the things that has been a matter of pride to Indiana has been the devotion of the people to education. Their schools and public 11nrarles have attracted praise from many visitors to the state. I am told that the state tax board cut the revenues of tbe public library over here at Hatmnond to such an extent that Its usefulness would have/been crippled; and that they did not make any provision whatever for the public library at Whiting; that In consequence of these inlsarts the ‘lncompetent’ local officials had to get together and devise means by which the wrongs to their local institutions could 'be rectified. "These are not exceptional cases. All over the state activities have been Instituted to enjoin obedience to the orders of the state tax board in the courts. Tbe teachers of the state, convinced that the system means the ruin of the public schools, are tn open revolt, and have

started a paper at Indianapolis to de* mand repeal of the unconstitutional features of this law, In which they say: “Because of thie vital Importance off ed ucatioa to the state the school corporations were granted Independence from control by other political units; were empowered to levy taxes for school purposes without the sanction of mayors, city councils or county or state officers; were given the right to borrow money, issue bonds, purchase land and erect buildings for the benefit of Indiana’s children, without consulting the civil officials; were independently organized for the sole and supreme purpose of Insuring to the state' a sane and competent citizenship. To this freedom from political control, to this complete separation of school government from other governmental units, is very largely due the early and continued excellence of Indiana's school system. “From the school administrator’s viewpoint the chief faults of the (new tax) law may be summarized as follows: "1. No money can be borrowed, noj bonds Issued, without the consent of a busy and inaccessible state tax board. “2. No school corporation can raise more money by taxation than was raised the preceding year, except by the consent of the said board. “3. The tax board Is given power to raise or lower any tax rate at its discretion. “4. There is no appeal to the courts from the boards decision. “5. The duties of the board are so multitndious that it is physically impossible to give other than the most cursory and superficial consideration to ; the serious and complicated financial problems of the thousand or more school , corporations of Indiana.” “And while your guardians of the ' state tax board were cutting local revenues regardless of local needs, what were, they doing with the state revenues? Tbe general assembly gave them complete control of the state levies. Did they show any economy. On the contrary they Increased the state taxes 40 per I cent. Tn the face of the provision of tbe law that these taxes should not raise more money this year than last year, they increased the state taxes nearly $3,000.000. With full Information before them, they levied 5 cents more than was necessary to raise the amount of the state taxes that were raised this year. Why not turn the rule and make the local officials guardians for the state i tax board? “Let me call your attention to an open and flagrant assault on the rights of the people that Is now tn progress In Indiana, and without rebuke. Tbe people oecame weary of the control of party nominations by party bosses, and in response to popular demand a primary law was passed, giving the people the right to make their own nominations. This did not suit the republican leaders. Gov. Goodrich and other party magnates, at which a “gentleman’s agreement" was made to nullify

the primary law by shutting out any opponent to Goodrich for president. Under that agreement the voters had no choice whatever, the power that belonged to them by law was taken away by a dinner party at the Scverln hotel. “The only trouble with the scheme, according to newspaper reports, is that nobody Is keeping the agreement. Tbe republican ‘harmony’ scheme is evidently a hog and harmony proposition, and they deserve it for trying to take away from the people, in evasion of the law, their rights to express freely their choice of candidates. “Now, my friends, these things are not only violations of law, but also violations of democratic principles, as I understand them. They are violations of the fundamental Jeffersonian principles of the right of the people to govern themselves. That is why I say It is necessary now to return to the fundamental principles of our forefathers In order to redeem Indiana from misrule.

NEWBERRY JURY HIT BY ILLNESS Member Faints on Way to Election Fraud Trials. GRAND RAPIDS, Mich.. Jan. 30.—Illness today depleted the ranks of defendants and jurors In the trial of Truman H. Newberry and 134 others on election fraud charges in United States district court. Will S. Purple of Brutus, a juror accepted by both the defense and state, fainted while en route to the courtroom. He had been taken suddenly ill during the night. Judge Clarence W. Sessions excused him and J. E. House of Marion took his place in the jury box. Three more defendants were excused from attending the trial because of severe illness. They were Lewis Burr of Houghton, George W. John of ML Clemens and Mel Deo of North Branch. Frank C. Dailey, special United States attorney general, a former IndianapnlD man, will make the opening statement for the prosecution and Judge .Tames <>. Murfin of Detroit for the defense. Murfln is the personal attorney for Truman H. Newberry. United States senator, and the main defendant. Murfin has been 111 and took no part in the selection of the Jury but expects to be able to be In court by Monday. Much of the difficulty in procuring a jury was due to the fact that many talesmen were active In tbe campaign of 1918, when the committee in charge of v the campaign to elect Newberry to ihe United States senate Is alleged to have spent more money than allowed l>y law.
