SHERMAN LAW IS BLAMED FOR BUSINESS ILLS Albert J. Beveridge Says Decks Must Be Cleared. CREDIT MEN MEET Problems Aired at Session of 3,000, Covering Wide Range. Prosperity cannot come to American business until the "clutter of uneconomic and anti-economic legislation” that has been put on the statute books, especially during the last six years, has hoe., cl- a red away, declared Albert J. Heverbjge. Republican nominee for United States senator from Indiana, in an address bes- re the convention of the National Association of Credit Men, at its opening session here today. “The ancient Sherman law shonld he fundamentally changed—or repealed altogether,” Mr. Beveridge asserted, "and railroads should be freed from the ‘welter’ of hampering legtstlatiun with which they are encumbered.” TIME HAS COME TO CLEAN 1101 SE. Repeal or material alterations of busi-ness-shackling legislation has been prevented. he said, by the “selfishness and cowardice of politicians, the audacity and bluffing of demagogues and the political torpor and timidity of business men themselves. The time has cotne to clean bottse.” Mr. Beveridge attacked the “scheme for the confiscation of business capital under the guise of tax legislation which was hastily improvised in the hectic days soon after we declared war with Germany." and which, he declared, “frankly violates the first principles of economics.” "It must, be done away with or, at the very least, be elementally modified,” he said, "and in place of it an equitable, jnst and simple tax iaw be enacted.” The best measure thus fur proposed, he added, is a general sales tax. Predicting the "coming conflict” over riilway legislation will be the supreme—perhaps final-test of the "good sense and pound instinct” of the American people. Mr. Beveridge asserted “st.ll more ini portant. if possible, is the radical altera Hen or total abolition of the welter of laws, regulations, agreements, and hap- 1 l*zaril governmental interference by ■ vlil'h railway operation and management' hss been all but paralyzed.” rjIOBLEMS BEFORE 3,®UO C REDIT MEN". Problems to be aired hr the 3.000 credit ’ men attending the c*nver‘.ion include; pr- posed amendments to the Volstead ; national bankruptcy regulation bii! and j the establishment of bett r protection of' credits, with efforts tew -d closer co operation between merchants and banks.

To carry out the lagoon idea the property bet we,- i the hospital and river s-uth of Walnut and north of Michigan streets also would he purchased, giving a uliietv-five cere tract in all, the mayor said. Tiie lagoon would be of the winding ennui typo, three or four feet and- p and from twenty-fire to thirty feet w.do. Steam shovels could cut its course so water would enter Fail Creek and meander the river. C ty Engineer John L. Elliott said, c,, st of the project not been estimated. The idea includes construction of rns tie bridges across the lagoon at frequent intervals. Trees and shrubbery would bo used t "make the place a regular fairy land, the mayor said.

SWIFT 1 HAS NO FEAR OF JOB BEING TAKEN Sanitary Board Hears Threat of Appeal to Legislature by Shank Crowd. Thr-ats of Shank city administration leaders they will influence the next Legislature to amend the Indianapolis sanitary district law, so tho members of the board of sanitary commissioners will fail under the "hiring and firing" power of Mayor Shank, in order that ho may r-movo Commissioners Lucius B. Swift iiiol Jay A. Craven, btdd no terror for Mr. Swift. * T don't anticipate such a thing. I’m not seared of It. i don't think it will happen," uld Mr. Swift today In a meeting of the sanitary board. The board was discussing tho advistbllity of immediately changing tho ceurs- of Eagle Creek along the west side of Sellers farm, whore the new city sewage disposal plant Is being erected. A board member hud suggested that possible the work should be done at once since “no one knows what nuty happen next year.” It was then that Mr. Swift waved the possibility aside. Shank politicians hold enmity toward the two members of tho sanitary board because they discharged two favorites in tho administration political machine. It also is said the city hail crowd would like to get their hands on the 150 or so jobs under control of the board. All the precinct committeemen in the county could have nice Jobs if these were available, it has been suggested.

( HOARD VISITS ! EAGER l REEK. i The board visited the banks of Engle ! Greek where the straightening is proposed 1 and Commissioner John L. Elliott, city eni glnoer, said It was practically decided the j work should be done nt once j Engle Greek, nt the point In question, ' makes n sharp curve. It has been eating Into Fellers farm at the rate of from twenty to thirty feet a year. YY'hen ; the board first came into control of j the farm the city owned about an nor jon tho west bank of the stream. It has so cut into the east bunk that there now are three or four acres belonging to tho city on the west side. Charles 11. Huril, consulting engineer for the board, said there is danger. In time of high water, of the creek cutting through the east bank, flooding the lowlands on the farm, where the sewage disposal plant is located, niul cutting an entirely new course to the southeast to White River. Such a path likely would be straight through the site Dir one ol the Important buildings, he said.

RKCO.YIM ENDS ELIMINATING CURVE. To prevent such u mishap, Mr. Hurd recommended the course of the stream be straightened where the sharp curve now exists, the cast bank be tilled tn and a dirt levee be thrown up along the east bank. The hoard found today the stream is about to undermine several floe trees along the east bank, Mr. Elliott reported. This would lot lamentable, he said, since the sanitary board expects the board of park commissioners to make the farm Into one of the beauty spot* of the city after the construction work is completed. Mr. Craven announced that garbage and ash collection trains are running on schedule once more and complaints have returned to normal. The collection departments were demoralized several weeks ago in a mix-up, which included the discharge of the superintendents and a warning to Truly Nolan, spervisor of both departments that he would go, too, if conditions did not Improve. Mr. Craven said collection is progressing satisfactorily now.
