Special to Indiana Dally Times and Philadelphia Publft) Ledger. WASHINGTON, Oct 17.—Efforts ot John Skelton Williams, formerly Comptroller of the Currency, to discredit the Federal Reserve Board by calling attention to the high salaries paid officers of Federal reserve banks, particularly in New York, are being combatted vigorously by W. P. G. Harding, governor of the Reserve Board. Increases made since the advent of the Republican Administration had been Mr. Williams' target and his speeches and statements scoring the Increases were read into the record of the joint commission of agricultural inquiry. Governor Harding’s answer, made in the form of a letter to Representative Sydney Anderson, chairman of the committee, states the increase in the salary of Governor String of the New York Reserve Bank from $30,000 to $50,000 annually was approved In 1018, when William G. ilcAdoo was Secretary of the Treasury. Mr. Harding also calls attention to what he calls the-, “absurdity" of Mr. Williams’ attempt to measure the salaries of officials of Federal Reserve banks by the salaries of the United States Senators and points to the action of Mr. Williams, himself, when Comptroller, in approving salaries for national bank examiners far in excess of the salaries of Senators. There i3 no attempt on the part of Mr. Harding to criticise the high salaries paid; in fact,, he approves them, but he plainly intimates that Mr. Williams’ statements cannot be regarded as more than an effort to make political capital of the recent increases in New York.—Copyright, 1921, by public Ledger Company.

SHANK ASSERTS RALSTON PLANS ‘WILD DREAMS’ Both Mayoralty Candidates Attack City Sanitary v Ordinance. Boyd M. Ralston's plan to form a loan company which would assist small property owners in meeting the cost of Installing sanitary equipment required bv the anti-open vault ordinance wa* termed “another wild cat dream of my friend Ralston—dreamed for the purpose of catching votes,” by Samuel Lewis Shank, Republican opponent for mayor of Ralston, In speeches Saturday night. Both candidates, however, have attacked the ordinance, differing with sanitary and health authorities who say that the ordinance is one of the biggest steps over taken toward removing from Indianapolis the stigma of the second highest death rate from typhoid fever among the larger cities of the country. Persons interested in the elimination of conditions such as the night soil dump at Sellers farm fought for ten years to get the ordinance passed, succeeding only a few weeks ago. “The vault ordinance,” said Mr. Shank, “passed recently by the city council and signed by the mayor, provides that all open vaults, within one year from Oct. 1, 1920, be connected with the city sewers if such sewers are within 100 feet of such vault, or if no sewers be within 100 feet then connected with septic tanks. To comply with this ordinance will require the expenditure of a very large sum of money. The costs of complying with this Ordinance must, of course, fall upon the property owners. This will mean a hardship In many cases. It. will affect not only the property owner but the tenant will feel It in increased rents PLT AT $5,000,000 ltY RALSTON, HE SAYS. “Mr. Ralston says the cost will exceed $5,000,000. He makes the absurd proposal of getting a large b .dy of men to organize a loan company to loan money to people with which to pay the costs, allowing them to repay these loans in small amounts over a long period of time. Folks, this is another wildcat dream of my frieftd Ralston’s —dreamed for the purpose of catching votes. If you but stop to think of his proposal you will brand it as an attempt to establish the most collossal loan shark organization ever proposed by any man la this city. “You know that when men lend money they expect a large per cent of interest, they expect the owner to furnish an abstract of title showing the property to be free from other liens and incumbrances, and you know how this would affect the little’ property owner who is buying Ms house on payments. You know the lender would require the man who borrows money to pay attorney's fees for examination of the abstract, pay recording fees of tmortgage and other expenses incident to making the loan. “Mr. Ralston’s proposal, ladles and gentlemen. of establishing this gigantic loon shark organization has more dangers to the little property owners of the city than all the open vaults combined. THEN HE TELLS HIS PROPOSITION. “I have a proposition to make on this subject. I am in favor of improving the sanitary conditions of Indianapolis, i feel that the ordinance which recently was passed by the council should either be repealed, er modified, so as to mase it possible for the property owners to make the Improvements and extend the time for the completion of the entire work f> r three years. Times are hard, t i\"s are high, the property owner must be given the opportunity of getting back on his feet. We must use a little common sense in making improvements, and Just here I want to remind our genial city sanitarian that people will continue to cook cabbage in their kitchens long after his famous 'flu mask’ order has been forgotten. “If the ordinance is repealed I favor getting a bill passed by the State legislature in 1923 similar to our present Barrett law under which our sidewalks, sewers, streets, etc, are now put in. If such a law were passed the property owners could have these vault improvements made and pay for them as they now pay for street improvements under the Barrett law. This kind of law will protect the property owner—enable him to have the improvement made and pay for it in yearly installments. But, ladies and gentlemen, I warn you against Ralston’s loan shark proposal. It would i simply ruin every little property owner who ever got Into the clutches of his ; loan sharks.” ! Mr. Shank spoke at Missouri and MeI Carry streets and West and Maryland i streets.
