COX TALKS HERE FOR EVOLUTION (Continued From Pag# One.) take eighteen months to transport men overseas. He declared that more men landed every month than his military critic said could be transported in eighteen months. '“We transported overseas in eighteen months 2,000.000 men and brought the f war to an end. and yet they are not sat- ‘ isfied,” he said. “Thp transcendent grlev- ; cnee in the minds of republican poltti- ! cians is that. Almighty God brought on a war and left them sitting on the bleachers. “President Wilson prevented the victors from carrying away the loot of the war. That is why he went to France. If he had not, God knows how soon we would have been in war again. MALIGNANT ENVY AGAINST WILSON. “There is a monster of malignant envy directed against Woodrow Wilson. One senator wrote in a jubilant mood that the president was hopelessly stricken. That Is one Moses who should never have been taken from the bullrushes.’’ In telling ->f the delay in ratifying the peace treaty; Gov. Cox told of a conversawith the king of the Belgians In which the king said he was compelled to tell his people that they bad no work because they had no raw materials due to the necessity of waiting on America to ratify the peace and bring affairs back to normal. Gov. Cox told of the objection of Senator Lodge in 1599 to any necessity of President McKinley going to Spain with the objection that the treaty was so severe that the congress would not ratify it, yet, he said. Senator Lodge desires that President Wilson go to Germany and do this very thing.
DECLARE PEOPLE WILL NOT PERMIT IT. ■‘Woodrow' Wilson will not do it. The American people will not permit it,’’ he said. The seeming acquiescence of England to the Lodge proposal is due to duress. Gov. Cox said. He pointed out that the pound sterling is at its lowest ebb in the history of England. He said that unless the treaty is ratified and civilization and commerce can progress, there w ill 'be a surplus in America, bringing about a crash and financial calamity. V “England does not have six votes in the league of nations." he said. “Britain has six votes. It will stand to the credit of Great Britain that the empire was not dismembered when there was the opportunity. Canada's dead were more than ours, yet they say Canada is not entitled to a vote. Any political party which desires to gamble with the tears of humanity deserves to die." POINTS OUT TWO RADICAL MOVEMENTS. In speaking of industrial unrest' Got. Cox pointed to tbe fact that hundreds of thousands of aliens were brought to the United States to work in factories and that no attention was paid to their Americanization. He said the men who ask *for state troops to operate their factories are reaping the shelves o* a harvest which they themselves have sown. Gov. Cox said there are two radical movements in this country—the movement of those who desire to destroy the government and the movement of those who refuse to pay heed to progress and call upon soldiers to carrry on their affairs. “The democratic party believes in evolution rather than revolution.” be said. ‘lf you keep the tires of evolution burning there will be no fear of revolution. The democratic party bns lived because, It is founded on the fundamentals of Justice, of equal justice for all and spe■lnl privelege for none." HAS NO TEAR OF RESULT NEXT FALL. Gov. Cox declared there must be political parties and that nonparttsanlsm Is a menace. He said he holds no fear as to the result this fall. He declared that if every disloyal vote had been eliminated there would have been a democratic congress in Washington now. “We find Will Hays offering SIO,OOO for some genius to write a platform for she republican party. He has named a committee of 171, but he has not called It together. I hope be does not call It. together in Ohio, for troops would be necessary to settle thp fight which would ensue.'’ He concluded with the assertion that the democratic party will not be guided by expedient but by principle. RAIL ACCIDENTS DROP. During the first ten months of 1919 1.107 fewer railroad employes were killed and 25,930 fewer injured than during tbe corresponding period of 1918. TOO BIG TO GRASP, The war cost tbe United States $32,000,000,000. according to the latest estimates. The cost to all nations combined was $156,000,000,000. 1 :

FOOD AND WORK EUROPE’S NEEDS (Continued From Page One.) among the Europeans and those ar; the two principal factors in developing political unrest. PRODUCTION ONLY CURE lOR El ROPE. “There is no cure you can take out of a patent medicine bottle. The cure Is for Europe to produce more so that Europe can pay for what It must import. But, it is hardly to the point to insist that Europe must work, but it must have something to work on snd raw materials in work with, and in the meantime it must have food to support the people, .lust now the people of Austria and other central European countries are exhausted and dying of starvation. “I doubt tbe wisdom of our government granting more credits to Europe. At the same time tbe credits that are needed must run for too long a term to make It feasible for—banks to make tbe grants. Besides, otir banks have ex panded their credit facilities for domestic requirements i. quite as high a point as is safe. That means the credit should come from our investment funds, which have been largely dissipated in tbe recent past o.v our flotations of new companies. We have great demands for domestic promotions and for such work as rehabilitating our railroads, which are now iu need of six hundred thousand cars. Nevertheless, we can at the same time assist. Europe. We can expand our lending ability very much by practicing economy find stopping the present craze for extravagance. INVESTORS FEAR FOREIGN SECURITIES. "But our investors are not disposed to adventure in foreign securities. Thev can get very high returns from domestic securities and they lack understanding and experience in foreign securities. Such Investments as they have made abroad haven't been altogether happy in some instances. The remedy can only come with a realization by our people of Europe's extreme needs of our own Intimate connection with European ttf fairs and of the reaction on us of any economic breakdowns in European countries. ♦ "In investing our funds to help Europe's recovery the idea would not be for European governments to float loans here as they did during the war. The task Is one primarily for financiers. There should be a consortium of bankers, representing the principal lending countries,
that Is. those which have a surplus of food and raw materials. This council of bankers would have to study the European industrial situation and ration st.ch credits as it could grant. If would extend credits solely with a view to starting industries and keeping people from starving. The credits should be extended only in tbe form of food and raw materials. The consortium of bankers would sell to American investors obligations secured by a mortgage or other security by the government of the European country accepting the goods from America. This government guarantee might be the in form of a prior lien over all oustanding government loans. WANT AND IDLENESS BREED REVOLUTION. “The degree of safety of these obligations would be high if the credits granted were on a comprehensive scale and left no areas helpless. There could be no complete safety for such investments, however, as long as there were great political districts left In want snd the people In Idleness “Want and idleness are ant to lead to political revolution, which is a eotnmuni cable disease. While the facts arc pessimistic, there arc some bright spots. Eng land has done marvelously in getting her industries adjusted. Belgium, too, has done very well. But elsewhere the re viva! Is not sufficient to warrant optimism. In some places only 20 per cent of industrial revival has occurred. Nevertheless. once u start Is made in helping Europe by the United States, the situa tion, should become much blighter. The only possible solution is in our bands Russia can not give immediate help. She has no riw materials on band and her paralyzed railway system makes transportation very difficulty, rt would do no good for us to cancel the debts Europe ones us. for what Europe needs is the food and raw materials we can supply. “The present situation was evident year ago. But the people who made tbe peace treaty paid no attention to eco nomic data. They did not understand the complicated theory of modern industry. They had not taken Into consideration the fact that the population of F.urope under the influence of an industrial age had grown to fir larger numbers than Europe's fields can feed. But. with It ail. we can save it. We ran do it if we stop our wild extravagance, comprehend the seriousness of the situation and decide it is time for us to help our neigh bors. Then we shall have the world at our feet In gratitude." U. s. PROBES PRIORS. Government experts are making Investigations of retail prices of necessary commodities, including clothing, shoes, furniture and other household goods.

‘SHAMS,’ IS CRY OF BIG AUDIENCE (Continued From Page One.) sponaibllity,” she said. “T don’t believe j Americans are yellow dogs. A vote of tbv i people would demand that America j shoulder the responsibilities." The third speaker of tbe evening was j Daniel W. Simms of Lafayette, who spoke on the tax law. He explained that the j old tax law was designed to relieve 11a- j fair assessments and if carried out would , have made new legislation unnecessary, j He said tbe republicans In Indiana do j not know anything about the science of: government, but that they do know the I science of office getting. Mr. Simms pointed out that the pro- j visions of the new tax law for true j cash valuations and for the assessment ! of intangibles are simply re-enactments j of the old law. He said this part of ! the law followed democratic thought I and precedent. “Then they thought of building np a [ machine that would keep them iu office,” j he said. “For this purpose they struck j <}own the principles of local sclf-govern- j ment. That is a vicious feature of the j law. They put their bands on the ae- 1 tivities of every taxing unit in tbe state. < The legislature delegated power to the 1 tax board to do something which the i constitution says they can not do. BOARD GIVEN UNDUE POWER. “The board fs clothed with the power j to remove assessois elected by tjie peo- i pie. They are given power to classify I property In municipal taxing units. They ; are given power to make horizontal in- ; creases. The law’ is based on a vicious principle. It Is the most infernal and i most unpopular law ou the books." He explained the provisions of the law j which gives the board power over levies and the requirement that the board must pass on all bond Issues. He also (minted out the section of the law which makes It impossible to collect taxes ou real estate this year except by suit as for a personal debt. He designated this: sea ture as the “crowning glory of the law." He said the personnel of the board is immaterial, for the law Is unconstitutional in that It delegates power prohibited by the constitution. He called upon the democrats to fight (ho law until ■ it is down and down for good. Mrs. Gibson Tv a introduced by Miss : .lulia Landers, member of the democratic ! nationni committee. Dale Crlttenberger ' of Anderson introduced Mr. Simms and j Edward G. Hoffman of Ft. Wayne, sec- ' rrtary of the democratic national com j niittee, introduced Gov. Cox.
