SHANK ISSUES PLATFORM FOR HIS CAMPAIGN *Law and Order’ and ‘Hands Off Primaries* Chief of Pledges. , ■‘Law and ortlr come first, other things saeond ' declares tha platform upon which Republican candidates will seek election in November. The law and order plank and one devoted to a pledge ; that the administration will pursue a "hands off” policy In any primary election arising during Its Incumbency are eonaid“red the most important parts of the document, which wag made public today, following final adoption and signature by r.ll of the candidates. The platform, as finally adopted. Is practically the same as it was originally written several weeks ago by close associates of Samuel Lewis Shank. Republican nominee for mayor. In the end, it la said, Shank's platform ideas predominated. SHE REFLECTION ON JEWETT. Some of the councilmanie candidates. It Is said, objected to the “hands off” pUnk on the ground that it casts a reflection upon the administration of Mayor ; ■"Charles W. Jewett, but they finally capitulated. The platform contains no denouncement or Indorsement of the preeent city regime or of any other. This. It Is said. Is the result of recognition on the part of Republican leaders that some 38,000 votes cast in the primary for Shank and E. J. Robison were in a great measure an expression of dig j approval of the Jewett administration, j To have Indorsed Jewett rule would "have ! been to drive thousands of supporters ; •way from Shank, it is said. PLATFORM IN FULL. The platform in full is as follows: “We, the Republican candidates, nom lnatad on May 3. 1921, hereby submit to the voters of the city of Indianapolis for their approval the following principles:^ "Nine short months ago the people of the country turned for their Government to the Republican party by a vote ‘of confidence as pronounced as any ewer cost Never-sleeping enemies of the Republican party are already saying that It is of no importance to the city or the Republican party that the Republican candidates be elected this year. We, the Republican candidates, believe that tho j party of Lincoln, McKinley and Roosevelt ! can be a useful instrument of Government in this city as distinctly as It can be lu th- national Government and we. the • Republican canildate*. pledge that we Will make every effort to the end that the dtisens may be proud of their local j government as they now are justly proud ' of the national Government. ANTI-VICE MADE. "Law and order come first, other things second. The laws of the Nation, of the 1 State and of tb’ city must be supreme ever aIL The coming Republican administration declares that It Is opposed to and will suppress rtce and crime of every nature and all el-e that detracts from the cleanliness °nd good morals and good order of the city. Indianapolis Is • city of homes and churches and its moral atmosphere must be kept free from contamination. "Next in Importance to the moral conditions of the city are the health and sanitary conditions. We pledge our best efforts toward the improvement of con- ■ dltlons at the city hospital. "We declare for an enlarged, modern city market. We are especially Interested In the health and happiness of the city’s children: therefore, we favor the installation of additional playgronnd* and swimming pools. STAND AGAINST SOFT JOBS. “We pledge our vigilant activity along all sanitary lines, especially such as sewage dlspotal and remedying the befouled condition of Fall Creek and Pleasant Run. We favor the establishment of more public comfort stations. "We fully realise that taxation has become a burden. We a progressive city, but insist that rbe strictest economy consistent with efficiency shall be practiced in all departments of the city government. There shall not be a Slagle person on the city pay roll who is not needed and every employe must ■ be worthv of his t^fe. "All contracts for street improvements shall be let by the board of public works In the open and such contracts shall be drawn in such a manner as not to create monopoly In favor of any particular brand of material: nor shall such contracts be let without due consideration being given to the interests of the majority of the property owners affected. “The personnel of all the boards shall be such as to command the confidence and respect of the citizens of our city. "Justice demands a fair representation of women in appointive positions. They will Be asked to •'ssume important responsibilities In th ity government and especially shall W." a representative connected wjth market. “In appointments to the police and fire department, ex-service men shall be given preference; efficiency and courtesy will be demanded of all city employes. CITY'S FUTURE BELIEVED IN. “Track elevation has already proved to ' be of inestimable raine to every one con cerned, and we favor the continuation of : the project as rapidly as our finances will j permit. "We favor the extension of water and 1 gas mains and electric light lines so that i the greatest "service possible may be ‘ lad by the greatest number of citizens. "We believe in the great future of In d;ano polls. We propose to make the city grow, and to that end, we favor such crosstown street car lines, such car line extension!- and such routing of the car Hues as will make a bigger and greater Indianapolis. "We foster no 111-wlll toward any phbr lie service utility; we want every utility to make a fair return on Its investment, but we shall Insist that each public utility fulfill Us obligations to the people- We further pledge to resist every unnecessary raise In public utility rates. "We pledge a policy of ‘hands off - relating to any primary election arising during our stewardship. Our position is that It Is not the business of the city administration to select the candidates for city, county. State or national office; that our sole business is to merit honest public approval for a difficult pnblic irust well executed. •ffTpon these principles we stand and ask the suffrage of the voters of the city of Indianapolis." SOCIALISTS OPEN t AMPAIGN. Will.am R. Snow of Chicago and Socialist city candidates will speak at Warren and Oliver avenues this evening. William H. Henry, Socialist candidate for mayor, and others will talk at Clifton and Udell streets Wednesday evening. The regular meeting of the South Side Republican League in the Souf”h Side Turners hall Thursday evening will be addressed by E. J. Robison and Taylor Groninger. The Tenth Ward Democratic Club is a rally and lawn fete at Churchman avenue and Prospect street Saturday evening. Democratic candidates will •peak, reports from committeemen and comm It tee women of the precincts will be received and plans iTr the formation of Ralston-for-Mayor Clubs in each precinct will be. discussed. Boyd M. Ralston, Democratic candidate for mayor, and Mr. Shank have been invited to a lawn fete at the residence of John Sullivan, 4500 Washington %oolerard this evening.

Great Hardships Seen in Austrian Capitol Nobles, Educators and Once Wealthy , Eat in Community Kitchens —Americans Feed Children .

By BETTI BLYTHE. VIENNA, Austria, Aug. 9. —This morr- , Ing I observed a man in the principal ! business street here who appeared to be removing the glass front of his shop completely. Another look revealed that he was <xn4y opening the front of his shop to take an article out of the window. The huge plate glass windows In all of the shops here are on hinge* and tilt ; out on the street when opened. Tho | hinges are at the sides and the window ; locks at the bottom. When they trim | cho window It Is not. done from the tnI side, but from the street, j • I saw a little si-re-iv top bottle in a 1 window, the cost of which was about a 1 quarter in American value. When I sought the article In the shop the man ; took his key, went out on the sidewalk, ! unlocked bis window, and brought it In to ! me. They do that kind of thing all the j time. At night every shop window In i Vienna—in fart every shop window in j continental Europe—is covered with a I great curtain of sheet iron dropped from ! the top/ The porter comes out on the sidewalk and catches his iron screen with a big Iron hook, and draws it down. The t curtain is Then locked at the bottom, an iron screen drawn across the entrance door to the shop and locked. The proprietor then turns complacently home. In Prague, the capital of the new Czechoslovakia republic, every single shop is closed for two hours at noon. As some close between 1 and 3 and , others between 12 and 2. or even from 12:30. it can readily be appreciated that shopping must be nicely calculated as to time. The natives take % it all as a matter of course, but it Is hard on for- : signers. wasttT or GOOD WINDOW ADVERTISING. It was an extraordinary spectacle to see all those shopkeepers come out with their big hooks at noon time and start the business of rendering their shops impregnable as a fortress; for they 10-’k up In the same thorough manner at moon tfs at night, and cover up the window displays. Now 1 submit to any member of the advertising that the most rotten waste of good advertising? Think of all those potential shoppers abroad In the streets from 12 to 3. denied a chance to see what they might desire to buy, were they not denied the chance to look ■ around. Here there is absolutely no attempt at advertising according to American standards. It is true that any form of advertising designed to reach the buying j public here would necessarily hare to be written in the dozen languages making ■up the foreign population, since these people alone buy. No Austrian is ever seen jin the better shops unless, Indeed, he , goes there to try to sell something. JFor ! eigners have reaped harvest of charm ling articles here—the people are not only selling ajo'lr household goods, but the i women ar\ bit by bit, disposing of their j Jewelry, their laces, furs: anything that I will bring them a few kronen, to keep away actual starvation. This morning I bought six embroidered ! towels from a formerly prosperous physician whose wife is terribly 111, and who is selling the things from bis once beautiful home in order to buy food, j The price was small in American value, j and I am telling you that one feels Uko Ia crook to buy things that way, but if they could not sell these things, God ; alone knows what would become of thousands of these people. Shopkeepers, of course, give them so little for these

John Aire, 14 years old, of Glenburn, Pa., -who has confessed to placing obstructions on the railroad and wrecking the Lackawanna Limited at Glenburn.. Two persons were killed and thirty injured in the smash-up. Arre wag captured by police shortly after he had placed obstructions on the track four days late. The boy said he wanted to see bolts and nuts flattened by the trains. He knew that two men had lost their lives, and he said he felt bad, but that didn't stop him from placing more bolts on the rails.

[city, driving everything before them. Acj cording ot the Bolshevik Minister of ! Foreign Affairs, the famine conditions in i the Volga provinces is very serious. Ten [ million peasants are dying from starva-

used articles that they sell them whenever possible to foreigners. Women of the nobility, formerly wealthy, but whoso Incomes have disappeared through the terrible depreciation of the kronen, are working day and night, making exquisite beaded bags and other beaded articles, embroidering underwear—-In fact, turning out any kind of handiwork that will bring them the price of food. FORMER GENERAL SELLS BEAD BAGS. This morning a former general In tha army, a very great man under the old regime, brought bead work to my room in the hotel- made by his wife. Both are old and penniless. She slaves with her needle and he fills the orders from gueßta ts the hotel. There are great numbers of people doing likewise. 1 started this letter Intending to give the Indianapolis Advertising Club some ideas of business and advertising conditions here, but It now occurs to me that perhaps you would all like to know tblng of the human interest side of things here. So I shall lot the other phase rest for the - next letter. To nnderotand the present frightful plight of the Austrian people an understanding of the economical and financial situation Is essential. The exchange rate today is 730 kromen for an American dollar. There ore thousands upon thousands of people ‘who formerly had Independent Incomes whose Invested cap ltal brings them practically nothing today. There are hundreds of thousands at university professors and touchers, doctors, lawyers—the vast middle class socalled (.which means tho educated class as differentiated from the working people) who have fixed In com*-a totally Insuffl rient to provide for their famUiea To this class belong the army officers and government employe*. To give an idea of the Situation the •led Ores* has helped SI,OOO school teachers. with absolutely ee*>ntlal clothing, like underclothing and stockings, that they had no means of buying for themselves. Hut you ask how do these people live—and they nnmber hundreds of thousands First, It Is this class that constitutes Austria's most heart-breaking problem today. There la no way of Rnniring relief. CHILDREN FED • BY AMERICAN'S. The children—three hundred thousand of them —ore ltelng fed by the American Relief Administration. Their kitchens are the most splendidly organized I have scfrn in Europe, and the work Is wonderfully curried out. American charity also Is aiding in some measure some of the moot destitute of the adults. This Is done through private funds -turned over to the American Relief Administration for distribution. This money Is used for food packages distributed by The A. A. R., and 1 have followed up some of these cases and bare been witness to beart rending scenes. To further aid this class, community kitchens have been opened, where for r price that ts less than a tenth part of nr Amerion penury, a nourishing meal Is provided. This work 1s largely In the hands of Austrian organizations. The other day I talked with an Austrian Baroness, who Is performing prodigies in the way of helping to relieve the suffering among her people. She said “I meet all my fripnds nowadays in the communal kitchens— for that is where they eat." # I went to one of these kitchens; 12.000 ate there that day. Hundreds of them were old people trying to live on pensions, old soldier* or the families or

soldiers and officers, university professors and their families. For the meal they paid twenty kronen—ar.d remember exchange at this writing is 700 kronen for sl. COLONEL GETS PENSION OF $2. I talked to several of these people. A colonel and his wife have a pension ot 1,400 a month. That’s 52. Today I had a most remarkable ex-perience—-I lunched with the professors’ mess; that means the best scientific brains in Austria, and In some lines of study, almost the best In the world—and the majority of these men are now so poor that they are glad to cut the | balanced ration provided to them through I this mess. Operated with outside assistance. I believe. | Next to me sat a world-famous man — he put the slice of bread provided for the meal Into his pocket. "I never eat the bread, ho said; "I take It for my breakfast.” I gave him my slice. Ho accepted It thankfully. Troughout the meal this man, who spoke English perfectly, en tortalned me with mervelous stories of i.l scientific researches In the countries iof the world. He cannot do any more research work; he cannot afford the railroad faro. This luncheon was attended by Jane Addams. on invitation of Dr. Plrqnet. the lntercatlocall'S’ known expert In child diseases. After th* meal Miss Addams accompanied Dr. Pirquet to Inspect the feodlng stations of the American Relief Administration, with which she expressed heraelf as delighted. The association of a man of Dr. Plrquet’s fame and at-, talnments has been a stupendous thing I for the hungry children of Austria. Although he Is at head of the great Vienna children’s hospital, he, through love of all children, consented to head the Austrian section of the child feeding and the work In bls.country haj become the best known tn all of Central Europe, by reason of the fart that the feeding Is Plrquet's own system of nutrition, which has attracted | world-wide Interest. May I tell you an lntereVtng bit of personal history? Dr. Pirquet g grand father, who was commandant* of the household of the Prince Bishop, and my own grandfather, of tho military household of Louis wore both emigres to Austria, during the French RevoluLon Thanks be to goodness my own lxn • mediate ancestor w-nt to America. whUs Plrquet's remained in Austria. On the strength of this Dr. Pirquet took time ! to personally show me through his marvelous hospital—don't believe there can be another Ilk- It In the world. Oh, yea. about the luncheon menu. I must tell you what w> ate. First there vias a thin soup. Tb-n a large portion of boiled rice flavored with bacon fat. some lettuce salad, a slice of bread and a roll with sugar on top and a cup of cocoa. lou ought to ha ve seen tho way those men ate the rice. They did not leave a grain. These men have meat perhaps once a month In their homes. It la a fact that the intellectual people here iran afford meat very, very seldom. VO rat IT SEEN IN AUSTRIA. Think of a great capital city where an orange cannot be 'bought. IV here i there are no kpples. I liaro not seen ' a banana In Europe. Imagine not being able so go into a store and buy lemons. There are a few |on the corners not. very good. And further imagine buying a f,*u riinv in a twisted bit of paper, as we buy 1 salted peanuts. hen I came to Vienna two weeks ago ! there was no fruit of any kind to be bought. Now a little has been sent In nnd Is sold from tiny stands on the Cornells. There are some cherries, apricots, currants ar.fi today for the first time I have seen some half ripe plums. The fruit Is sold mostly in quarter and half r ound lots. The price is so high that the local people cannot buy. 1 saw a man awhile ago pick up out of the gutter a half rotten cherry and er.t i It. dirty as It was. That shows the fruit hunger that must exist. Ope never goes on the street without seeing n number of men eagerly searching every inch of the sidewalk. They are looking for possible eigarerte ends. ! The day of my arrival an old man spoke ) to an American who left the train .lust l in front of me. He was asking for the j inch that remained of his cigarette. Some man or woman pounces upon every scrap of paper thrown on the sidewalk. WOMEN PERFORM MANUAL LABOR. It is incredible, tbe bard labor the women perform. Remodeling is going on In this hotel. The bod-carrying is all done by women This morning I watched them carrying loads that bent them down, and I wondered what such labor on the part of the mothers meant to the race. The men do tbe skilled work—tho women the hard work. The kitchens of Belvedere, the palace of the Archduke Ferdinand, whose assas slnation started the war. Is being used to cook food to feed 12,0<X) poor children Kow Is that for melodrama? It is a very nice kitchen. I saw It this morning—you will observe I have bad a busy day. The palace is so huge that 1 cannot even approximate the size for you. It must cover acres. Has wonderful gardens—in which the public wag sitting. I believe the gardens were open to the people during the Imperial residence there. The staterooms—very gorgeous—contain an exhibit of the state tapestries, said to be the finest collection In the woild, and worth untold millions. I was told by an Austrian lhat at one period when tho people were very hungry it was seriously considered to sell these tapestries to America. I hare been wondering who had enough money to buy them. Well, I wish everybody at borne could see them. HIKE BY BISHOP.

CHERRY SISTERS TO AGAIN THRILL BLASE BROADWA Y Famous Stars of Beets and Carrots Fame to Do Old Stunts. 'CEDAR RAPIDS, lowa, Aug. 9. Broadway Is in for the thrill of Its blase existence. TJie Cherry sisters are coming Lack. The only histrionic artists who ever made world-wide reputation dodging aged vegetable*, and who gave their performance behind screens to protect them from the deluge of leguminous bouquets that greeted their efforts, are tired of the farm. "Yes,” Effie Cherry said. “Yes, young man, Aggie and I have decided to go back on the stage. We are tired of our bucolic life. We are negotiating wit)) Will Harris of New York and expect to accept engagements this fall, probably on Broadway. THEY YEARN FOR APPLAUSE. "We yearn for the applause and receptions we used to get. It Is true the audiences used to throw things a*, us, but tnat wag part of the program. It was so amusing to dodge cabbages and bunches of carrots and onions and things.” The advent of the Cherry Sisters to stage fame followed an amateur performance many years ago. They took issue with a dramatic critic who said they were "scarecrows.'’ The judge evidently agreed with the critic when he refused to give Judgment. This gave them nation-wide publicity and then they went Into vaudeville. MAY NOT DANCE AGAIN. “We will sing and act,” said Miss Effie. "No I don’t think we will dance any more, but we will have little sketches —-gestures and all. Aggie and I wanted to return to the stage a few years ago, but the flu epidemic stopped us. It is always something It seems. We gave a performance in tbe opira house here recently and got a splendid reception.” The Cherry sisters are now onto middle ago. They own a farm and have been successful in raising vegetables and other produce they used to receive In another way on the stage. TAX PROPOSAL GIVES POWER TO ASSEMBLY (Continued Frm Page One.) tangible property. But everybody knows that intangible* have no value unless there is tangible property back of them. There are millions of dollars of "bluo sky” stocks and bonds scattered about, and quantities of Confederate paper money and wild-cat bank bills In museums, which hare no value for taxation or anything else, except as curio*. SECURITIES TAXED OUTSIDE. And everybody knows that the greater port of our tangible property la not mortgaged or bonded In any way; nnd that what la so incumbered I* seldom mortgaged for Its full value. The principle property mortgaged to full value in Indian* Is that of railroads, interurbans, and other public utility corpora flons; and practically all of their secur I Ittes are owned outside of tbe State, and are not taxsble In Indiana. The stocks of domestic corporations are not taxed, because they merely repre- : sent ownership of the corporate property, which Is supposwd to be taxed at Its full value, and is so taxed when the State tax board performs its sworn duty. The one exception to this is lhat the State cannot tax national banks, but Is allowed to tax national bank stock as other bank stock Is taxed. This system is fair if tho law Is enforced, but the Slate tax board does not tax bank stock at Its* full market value, as required by law. but undervalues it to the exrert of 20 1 to per cent by an arbitrary and ridiculous rule of assesametit. The only other leak, In this connection. Is that the State tax board treats "preferred stock” as common stock, and exempts It from tax ation, for which there ts no Jngtmeatlou whatever, as preferred stock doos not carry ownership, but Is merely a form of security, and should be taxed the same as a bond or a mortgage note. SECURITIES TH AT ES< APE. The principal intangibles, subject to taxation, which escape taxation In Indiana. are securities of foreign corporations. of which the amount Is eonparatlvely small, mortgages and bank deposits. Taxation of these is evaded chiefly because the legislature has never been willing to enact adequate laws for their collection. The owners of intangl- j bles do not escape the national income i tax, because they know it Is not safe to try to do so There used to be trouble about the collection of the State liquor license; but there was rarely any difficulty about collecting the naiional Internal revenue tax on liquors. Tho talk about It being lmposable to collect taxes j on intangibles, otid about tbe general property tax having "broken dowu,” are j all nonsense. But these taxes will not be i collected until the people realize that i taxation is n moral question; .-nil that every tax-dodger is robbing every honest taxpayer; and deserves no more consideration than any other robber. That la the principal that the National Government proceeds upon, and that Is why It collects the taxes tt levies. And this calls attention to the Gov ernor’s second proposition, lhat by 'Vlas sificatlon.” with lower taxation, of course. Intangibles “will be required to come out of What will '‘require" them to come out? Merely lowering th l * tax would be some Inducement, but not a requirement. No Indiana ndvoeate of this system has suggested anything to eo'mpel the return of intangibles under "classificationnnd yet there Is no State where classification has had any material effect that has not penalized the failure to return them. Kentucky makes notes, stocks and bonds noncolleetible if not returned for taxation. That sort of legislation has some effect on the tax dogder. CLAIM CANNOf BE JUSTIFIE D. It Is commonly claimed that this exemption from full taxation of intangibles will “reduce the burden on real estate.” There is hoi a State in which the system has been tried in which real estate Is not paying more taxes today than It was when classification was introduced. The advocates of the system never give KOW TO REDUCE VARICOSE VEINS Many people have become despondent because they have been led to believe that there is no remedy that will reduce swollen veins and bunches. If you will get a two-onnee original bottle of Moone's Emerald Oil (full strength) at any first class drug store and apply it at home as directed you will quickly notice an improvement which will continue until the veins and bunches are reduced to normal. Moone’s Emerald Oil is very concentrated and a bottle lasts a long time—that’s why it is a most inexpensive treatment. It has brought much comfort to worried peop'e all over the country and Is one of the wonderful discoveries of recent years and always bear in mind that any one who is disappointed with Its use can have their money refunded.

any figures on tax payments. They confine their attention tp lncreasud assess- | meats of Intangibles, and omit everything else. And they talk as freely about j things that they do not know as about things that are known. For example, neither Governor Goodrich nor any other person knows what proportion of Indiana taxos is paid on intangibles. There Is uo report of It, and no data from which It can be yomputed. Ills statement that it “pays less than 5 per cent of our taxes" ts merety his guess, hut it is probably a fairly good guess. I But it can be said with soma cer- ! talnty that if Intangible property pays j even 2 per cent of Indiana taxes, it pays more than in any State where classification has been tried. Maryland appears to have obtained better results from the classification system than any other State. In 1919 it had a return of $327,040,316 of intangibles, which was a drop ; from $334,702,162 tn 1913. These paid local i taxes at 30 cents on SIOO, or $981,120.93. i The State tax was 15 cents on SIOO, but as the State does not tax securities held by railroad companies, tbe amount taxed was $270,039,477, and the State tax collected was $105,089.20, or n total of State nnd local taxes of $1,386,210 13. In Indiana the total taxes In 1919 were $75,i 615,793, and 2 per cent of that amount Is $1,512,316, or more than the total collected ] In Maryland. EXPERIENCE IN EAST. In Connecticut, after twenty-eight years’ experience. Connecticut began it .four years before Maryland—in 1918, the total taxes collected on Intangibles, at a fiat rate of 40 cents on SIOO, was $348,660.7*. In Rhode Island. In 1918, after six years' experience. Intangibles valued at $94,420,080 paid taxes, at the rate of 40 cents on SIOO. amounted to $377,680.32. At the same time the targlbl* personality alone, valued at $72,362,000. paid tans of $1,342,397. the rate being $1.35 on SIOO. These are old and wealthy States, In which holdings of intangibles are notoriously much greater in propor- ! Hon than In Indiana. Indiana has been paying tribute to them for a century in tariff taxes, tnsurnneq premiums and In- [ terest on mortgages, and Indiana ba no sneh aecumiatlou of Intangibles as they have.

STONE’S BODY IN GOOD STATE Remains May Be Interred in Mountains. \ BANFF, Alberta, Aug. 9.—The body of Dr. W. E. Stone, taken out of Mt. Eaon Sunday, three weeks after he fell to his death. Is in a good state of preservation due to cold weather and the high altitude. H. F. Stone, a brother of the deceased president of Purdue University, sent this word here today from Eau Claire Camp where he is awaiting arrival of the body. Guides who helped rescue it reached Eau Claire Camp in advance of the stretcher party, bringing It out. Mrs. Stone also is at Eau Claire Camp, and now Is In excellent health. It was said. She probably will decide favorably on proposals to bury Dr. Stone In the mountains here.

Hats of All Sizes , Shapes and Colors; But Prices! Oh, Boy! NEW YORK, Aug 9.—The hat’s the thln£ in millinery this fall. Trimmings? a few. But the dominant feature of the exhibits to be shown at the Retail Millinery Association promenade here tonight is the stressing of the bat Itself and the subordination of trimmings and ornaments.
