PASSES ELEVEN BILLS IN FIRST NIGHT SESSION House Mixes Pleasure With Business, but Makes Rapid Progress. CITY PLAN IS ADOPTED In the first night session of the present Assembly, members of the House of Representatives interspersed pleasure with business in the passage of eleven bills last night. Eleven bills also were passed in the afternoon. The most important of the bills passed at night were those granting common councils power to adopt a city plan and giving them power to restrict building and use of buildings in the cities. The bills were introduced by Representatives Abrams. Nelson, Fifleld and Smith and hare a particular bearing ou Indianapolis. The first of the measures, which are twin bills, gives the councils authority to create a city plan commission composed of nine members, to serve without compensation except of actual expenses. A report of progress, receipt* and expenditures is required to be made to the mayor on or before the first day of February each year. The commission would have absolute power to restrict and pass on any building, statuary, bridge, viaduct, street fixture. street sign or other public structure before erected, the twin bill giving the commission power to exert its authority in this matter. LEVY OF EIGHT MILLS PROVIDED. A tax levy of eight mills on each SIOO of taxable property in any city adopting the city plan is provided in the bill to defray expenses of the commission. Members of the House enjoyed a good laugh when House bill No. 141, Introduced by Representative Russell B. Harrison, Marlon County, was called down for passage. The bill had passed three Committees and the entire House on second reading, but when called for passage It was found there was no enacting clause In the bill. Representative Harrison Immediately got busy and made arrangements to have the bill redrafted, and it Is probable It will be reintroduced and passed under suspension of the rules. The bill prof* Tided for an Increase in the number of trustees of the Soldiers' and Sailors' Orphans’ Home at Knlghtstown from three to five, two of whom shall be women, one the wife of a Civil War veteran and the other the wife of• a Spanish-American War veteran.

THE Hooper family live in a sevenroom house In the suburban town of Mayfield. Henry Hooper Is an accountant In a commission house In ' the nearby city, lie has had this position for eighteen years, with an occasional rai.-e In salary, grunted him in recognition of faithful ser.-s e, un'il now he earns SSO a week, lie is toe conscientious, plodding sort that becomes a cog In the machinery of bus! ness, who Is valuable as a type rather than as an individual, and who never reaps the benefit of wage adjustments that would tend to keep his salary rising with changing living conditions. There are mill!' ns of men and women such ns he in the United States today, who in the aggregate form the real economic backbone of the country. Between the two autocratic camps of labor and capital this army of wage-earners Is marching with heads erect and eyes ou the future. Their Income would be wholly Inadequate to meet the demands of present- lay living conditions If it were not for their intelligent and sbursenient of their merger weekly stipends That they are meeting the situation bravely and keeping themselves and their families in the Trout rank ns good American citizens is due to the fact that they are running their homes on a basis of sound business principles that are so simple that anyone may do likewise If he will adopt their method of dispensing the contents of his pay envelope. Only when every individual home in the United Stales Is operating ns sound, aconomlc unit with Its receipts anJ Us disbursements properly balanced, will the domestic situation in the na tion recover Its equilibrium and nssuine an aspect that Is normal. Statesmen and political economists are applying their best efforts to solving the problem, but ss a matter of fact, the solution lies in tbe hands of the housewives of the country.

Henry Hooper, with his sula-'y of SSO a week, provides the money for the successful management of Just such a home. His family consists of his wife, Roger, a son of 14, a freshman In tile local high school, and two daughters, Helen, 12, and Elizabeth, or Baby Betty, as she is called at home, who is Just approaching her fifth birthday. Mrs. Hooper has the entire management of the finances of the household, and years of experience have taught her that a “budget" system Is absolutely necessary to operate a home ou a scientific basis. llcnry Hooper's years of steady employment, with his wife's strict adherence to her budget, and with practically no financial setbacks, bus enabled them to <wn their home. It was purchased before Roger's birth, fourteen yea s ago, for $4,(00, the payment on it being what Henry had saved from the time he had first gone to work. It was entirely paid fur at the end of two years, partly from the spring of $25 a month rent, which t.iey had beeu paying fo£ the asms house of seven rooms and a bath. The gams property Is now valued at $7,000 and would rent for SSO a month. With no rent to pay, Mrs. Hooper s‘>s aside JO a week ur $.712 a year for taxes. Insurance anil repairs on the place. If the house were not owned she would not exceed $25 a month for rent, which Is the equivalent of what she allow* for the maintenance of their property. “Thank goodness, we own the house,” 18 Mary Hooper's frequent exclamation, as she adds up her weekly accounts on Saturday night. “Rent U certainly the most difficult Item In the budget to adjust in these days.”—Copyright, 1921.

JEWETT-NEWS PLANS UPSET IN CITY RACE (Continued From Page One.) ett administration. This group sets out that Mayor Jewett went Into office with his administration underwritten by the Indianapolis News, und in spite of much publicity and effort, has been unable in more than three years to show more than a proclivity for Increased city expenses, with little in the way of Improvements to account for It. They take the viewpoint that the News failed In giving the city a popular mayor when it indorsed Jewett, and they want more than the News indorsement as a guaranty that Howe will he a success as a mayor. ACCUMULATION OF UNDESIRABLES. Then, too, there has been considerable hesitancy concerning the Howe campaign owing to the fact that the administration which is bringing him out has accumulated a tremendous number of undesirables who are trailing In Its wake. The activity of Claris Adams, former prosecutor; Rufe Page, uegro politician and gaming house keeper; Jewett, Lemcke, Thomas Riley and others of the hl-purtU'an political combine In the city Is doing considerable harm to Professor Howe's candidacy for the reason that the Republican voters generally resent the assumption thut these men are the Republican party aud the sentiment of the party Is expressed by them. The greatest blow to the candidacy of anyone supported by tbe Jewett Lemcke crowd was in the defeat of the Thomas Riley faction of Democrats* who sought to name XVill Feeney Democratic city chairman. How dear to tbe heart of the mayor wan this little excursion into Democratic sffalrs can well lie estimated from the fact that tbe mayor roundly berated those he held responsible for ''putting Tom Meeker over on US.” CHANCE OF PRIMARY MANIPULATION LOST. YY'ith the control of the Democratic city chairman in the hands of Thomas Riley and control of Thomas Riley in the hands of Mayor Jewett and .the News, the stage would have been all set for the nomination of anyone the News-Jew-ett crowd might desire, through the slm- ! pie expediency of working on the elec- ! tion boards as was done four years ago. But with Thomas Meokar, Democratic i chairman, in a position to insure a fair ; primary and the elimination of the administration's pets from control of tn ' election boards, the favorite scheme or primary manipulation has gono into the , discard. At present there is every indication i that votes cast at the primaries will bo ! counted as voted and it is uot improbable | that had the Jewett organization believed It would not be able to control the Democratic party it would have looked longer for a more practical politician than Professor Howe to carry Its banner in this primary. As It is, the Jewett administration Is saddled with a candidate who has failed to make a popular appearduce, la deprived of opportunity to manipulate the primaries aud Is Just now beglnulng to realize that it has a fight on Its hands for existence. ROBISON'S POSITION. Ed Robison, so-called “independent” candidate for the Republican nomination, is uot very active and cannot be *nld to be "going auy place." YY'hether he 1* lying low in the hopes rhat the Jewett crowd will realize the futility of ■ nominating Professor llowe and will flop , to him at the la it minute in a desperate ••(Y.,rt to defeat Samuel Lewis Shank, rei mains to be seen. It is generally eon- ' ceded that Robison Is exercising good strategy and that only In event of support from the Jewett crowd will he 'tand a chance of nomination. The Indianapolis News Is understood to be against Robison and unable to change Hilton U. Brown's edict that It must “go all the way" for Professor Howe. Btmnk continues to gain strength in the campaign. Announcement of support , from Dr. E. E. Hodgin, the presen 'e of Edward Konrbier at hi* organization meeting and a number of other incident* show that tha reports of “solid opposition" from business interests has been greutl.- exaggerated. Dr. Hodgin never has teen regarded as an “undesirable” and In fact, was seriously considered as a business man's candidates for the corn inatlon himself. Sonrbier is a business mtsoolate of Henry Campbell, H. C. Htutz. F. 11. YVheeler, S. T. Mnrdock and others well known lu the financial circles of the city, and his association with the Shank cam palgn la evidence that it will be Impossible this primary to mike It apI car as a campaign of “sinister interests" to Injure capital. DE.YIOU RATS SEEK CANDIDATE. In the Democratic ranks there Is considerable elation over the defeat of the attempt of the Jewett organization to control the party, and there is a genuine effort beiffg mMde to find a real Democrat who will make tha race. Democrats generally believe that Shank will win the primary and they are seeking a candidate who will appeal to those Interests that cauuot support Shank, and Is not a part of the News-Jewett bi partisan organization. In event such a candidate Is found and Shank wins at the primary the Democrats' believe they have an excellent chance of electing a mayor. However, their path is fraught with some danger, for there is a large part of the Democratic party thHt has grown tired of the donhje-crossing of the party by News-Democrats and word already has gone down the line that if the party selects a candidate who is even remotely connected with the News it will lose support without which it cannot hope to carry the election. SHANK ISSUES STATEMENT Samuel Lewis Shank, candidate for the Republican nomination lor mayor, today insue.d tbe following statement: For the reason that the thing which is likely to affect the citizens of Indianapolis the most in the next two .years is finance, I wish to call public attention again to the statement of the finances of the city ! <>f Indianapolis, issued by Controller Bryson. - This statement shows that Indianapolis received from all sources iu 1920, $lO.593,332.92 and Bpent $8,022,718.33. This was an Increase in receipts of $3,873,842.90 over tlie receipts of ICI9 and the report shows that only $519.470 20 of the enttra receipts were left at the end of the year. NO PARTICULAR MARK OF FINANCIAL AJ4ILITJ. I do not pretend to be'a financier and in event of my election I scarcely hope to have the active assistance of some of the financiers who are now allied with the administration, but I have got business sense enough to know that it is no particular mark of financial ability to save half a million dol- ] Iflrs out of almost $4,000,000 increased j revenue. Controller Bryson's report shows that I the expenditures of the city of Indian- | spoils for 1920 were $8,622,718.33. 1 am of the opinion that any one who really desired to operate this city economically could get along without expending that much money. If such an expense Is to be borne annually by the citizens of Indianapolis they certainly ought to have something to show- for It, and I leave It to the taxpayers If they got nearly $4,000 000 better government in 1920 than they did iu I#l9. I do not w-ant to be elected mayor of Indianapolis on any promises to save the ! public money. The neglect of the present administration has been such that it Is going to take a lot of money to put this citv where it ought to be. SOMETHING FOR MONEY PLEDGED. But I do pledge to the citizens of Indianapolis that If I am elected mayor they will get something for their money. The expenses of the city will not be Increased four million dollars a year without four million dollars being spent

Blue w-olf. for collar and cuffs, matches nicely with the taupe shade of the Bolivia cloth of the coat. for something besides keeping up a political machine. It Is my Idea of the finances of this city that they ough* to be taken in hand by men wbo know how to haudle them and are not tied up to any one bank or group of bankers. I know there are experts on city financing who have made a study of such affairs and are able to outline economical and proper methods of raising and spending public money. The Bureau of Municipal Research has such experts in its employ. Their advice and their assistance can be obtained by Indianapolis and it is to sources such as these that I propose to look for help in solving financial troubles. PROMISES TO TAKE ADVICE. It has been said of me that I do not know enough to be mayor of Indianapolis. Perhaps I do nut, but I (lo claim to know enough to know when 1 do not know and to be wise enough to get the advice of men who do know. As my campaign goes on I am going to lay before the puDiic my ideas of what ought to be done to help Indianapolis. 1 stn not going to promise to do everything that I would like to see done, but I am going to promise to do everything I can to bring about those things that I believe ought to be done. In the last four years we have been promised better street service, a coliseum, anew market house, municipal yards and barns, enlargements of the city hospital, better streets, swimming pools, more park*, more boulevards, community cen tecs, more tire stations and other articles more numerous than are offered at one of my auctions. KNOWS WHEN MONEY WASTED. YVe have not got them, but we find that last year the city spent enough additloryil money to have provided any one of them. I want to say to tho business men and taxpayers of Indianapolis that 1 am not a financial wizard, but I know w beu public money 1* being wasted and 1 know that the waste of public money makes taxes high and improvement* scarce. As mayor "f Indianapolis I pledge myself that I will not tolerate S4.OOtJ. l )('G Increases in expenses and I say that no administration that causes such Increases i a tit admini-cia! on to sclp.-r it- successor.

MOTHER MAY GO TO HIGH COURT FOR HER 2 SONS (Continued From I’ge One.) ! was then in Jail, filed an Intervening pe- | tition asking for the custody of the boys. This intervening petition vas dismissed this morning and the petition of her j brother, Mr. Snider, substituted. STATEMENT MADE BY COURT. In awarding the custody of the two boys to Mr. Snider, Judge Carter said: "I have given this case more consideration than I have any case which has been before me because of its nature. It has always been the Inclination of this court to permit the natural parents to have the custody of the children when possible. “The adultery matter in th divorce proceedings against Mrs. McGrath Is not going to have much weight in the court's decision. Here we have two boys, 1$ and H years of age. Oue in the grades and the other In the high school. We have the undisputed testimony that the natural mother has never entered Into their lives. “The boys know less of thoir own mother than they do of a woman on til* streets aud they think less of her because they have been taught that way. “Mrs. McGrath would take them Into surroundings which are not as good a* they have been accustomed to. I do not want to be misunderstood, as I am not of the opinion that Mrs. McGrath Is an unfit person to have the custody of these boys, it is a consideration of what is best for the boys. I can not see how she could keep them in Chicago. The boys have stated their dislike for their own mother on the stand. I can not see how I could keep tho boys la Chicago If I sent them there. They would get back to Indianapolis, prohably, if they ha 4 .come on a freight train. CUSTOD Y’GIY'EN TO SIR. SN-IDER. “For those reasons tbe court wiH giv* the custody of the boys to Mr. John M. Snider.” ruled the court. Mr. Snider and his wifji took the stand and testified that they loTed the two Myers boys as their own and were financially and otherwise able to take the boys into their home and educate them with their boys. They stated they would not ask and do not expect any compensation. Mr. Carlin Shank, county commissioner, testified as to the excellent home conditions at the Snider farm and homo. Both counsel for both sides agreed as to the exc-oileut condition of the Snider home. Byron Myers took the stand and testified that he would rather live with his stepmother better than any one else and if not permitted to live there he would prefer to live with his “Uncle" John Raider. He admitted that his feelings toward his blood mother have not changed and stated that he would not care to live with Mrs. McGrath, his natural moth#*, Arthur Myers stated that he would ratbag stay at the Hildebrands and his seconA choice was the farm of his “Uncle.” Mrs. McGrath, the mother of the boy*, took the stand and testified how she hA4 attempted to see her boys after the divorce proceedings and claimed that th# late Mr. Myers told her what “he woulA do” if she attempted to see them. “i was afraid to go back.” she testified. “One time the door was shut tn my face. I have written the boys, but received no answer.” Mrs. McGrath appeared to be under th# strain of the court ordeal. She made no comment after she lost In the first round for the custody of her ions. The boys appeared to be happy after th# court’* decision.
