SMOKE NUISANCE FIGHT CLIMAX ON PROGRAMTONIGHT Substitute Ordinance Before Council —Traffic Measure Written, The climax of a long fight against the smoke nuisance in Indianapolis will be reached tonight with introduction of anew smoke ordinance in city council by Councilman Walter Wise. The Scientecii Club, Civic Clubs and the Chamber of Commerce are on record favoring the ordinance which was drafted by Councilman Lloyd Claycombe A reasonable salary, however, is asked for an assistant smoke Inspector, and a board of appeals is suggested—where aggrieved parties might carry their case. The system of fees is praised as a step to make -the department selfsupporting. The measure combines features of ordinances at Philadelphia and Cincinnati with fragments of the Chamber of Commerce-Scientech measure, which the council rejected several weeks ago. It eliminates the advisory and techrical committees, which drew opposition from the councilmen because of expensive and .cumbersome provisions. It is regarded likely that a citizens committee will act as connecting link between the bureau and the public. Meanwhile the smoke nuisance continued the topio of discussion today while city councilmen were guests of the Sclentech Club at luncheon at the Chamber of Commerce. Councilman Otto Ray plans to introduce an ordinance proposing the Detroit system for handling traffic violations. Under this plan, violators must appear before rollce within two days after receiving a "sticker.” First offense provides a fine of $2, second offense $3 and third or subsequent offense $5. Councilmen saw merits and flaws In a proposal of Taylor Groninger, corporation counsel, that Benjamin Perk, expert accountant, be employed to supervise the city budget and perms nently assist the city in fighting utility rates. Groninger holds that a more efficient handling of the city budget could be effected with Perk’s advice Perk has assisted Groninger in fight ing increased rates of the water and telephone companies. The council and the mayor will be approached on employment of Perk as soon as plans can be formulated, Groninger indicated. FOURTEEN AUTOS IN ONE COLLISION None Hurt as Cars Pile Up on Narrow Road, Following collision of two automobiles at Philadelphia, Ind., fifteen miles east of here, twelve other mar chines collided In succession. The National Road, at this point, Is so narrow it was impossible for the drivers of the other cars to escape the wreckage. Two of the machines were junked. No one was Injured.

PINCHOT HITS AT PROHIBETRAYAL (Continued From Pago 1) fused and troubled prohibition enforcement situation of today. One is the steadily Increasing determination of decent people to have the law enforced. The other is the steadily increasing violation of the law by the criminal elements. The former was to be expected. The reason for the latter Is not far to seek. “The Eighteenth Amendment has been betrayed in the house of Its friends. Measured by the respect accorded to It, It has failed, and the reason is that no sincere. Intelligent and concerted nation-wide effort has ever been made to enforce it. "We All Know Proof" “We all know the proof of that. It is found in the east with which great quantities of liquor are being smuggled into this country; in the huge amounts of bogus whisky manufactured from denatured alcohol; and in the continuing sale of high power beer from the breweries in truckload and carload lots. “It is idle to suggest that the law can not bo enforced. That the Government of th® United States, the most powerful nation on earth, with the people overwhelmingly behind it, is powerless before a few thousand, or a few hundred thousand, of assorted law-breakers is simply unthinkable. The fact Is wo have never really tried. "The thing that has protected the liquor criminal froia the law Is politics. Bad whisky, with beer to help, has supplied the sinews of war for bad politics, and politics has returned the favor. “The most elementary principles of good business management have been disregarded in the organization of the Government enforcement work. I refer. for example, to the un wise division of authority.

"Collectors of Graft" "Under this system, born and bred in politics, it is commonly believed, and T share that belief, that certain agents of the Federal Government not only wink at the violation of the law, but have served or are serving, as collectors of the six or seven dollars a barrel graft money paid by brewers for immunity. "The Federal Enforcement Depart ment will never be worth Its salt until It is taken wholly out of politics. That is the first step. The second, in my judgment, is to make the head of It responsible directly to the President of the United States. "Under the existing organization the line of authority leads from the President to the Secretary of the Treasury, from him to the Commissioner of Internal Revenue, and from the commissioner to various subordinates. What is needed is an organization in which responsibility is definitely centered; one in which the buck cannot be passed, and over which the President can exercise immediate control. “Such an arrangement should be only temporary. The President Is heavily burdened already, and nothing should he added to his load without serious reason. But the attack upon the Constitution and laws of our country Is so serious as to enlist the active direction of the President himself. He alone, in my opinion, can meet the present emergency. “Thrown Down Gauntlet” “These brewers, bootleggers, and saloon keepers have made a larger issue than that between wets and drys. They have thrown down the gauntlet to all law under the Government of the United States. They defy our Constitution and our laws as did their ancestors, the outlaws of the Whisky Rebellion of Washington’s time. "Washington, in that emergency, took personal charge of seeing that the law was respected as supreme and was prepared to use all the powers of the Government, if necessary, to make It so. His example Is a sound one to follow in the whisky rebellion of today. "There is another reason why the President should take personal charge. Not only has the political hamstringing of the Federal Enforcement Service had its seat in Washington, but it is notorious that disobedience to the eighteenth amendment hai been flagrant

in the capital city. Stories are innumerable of the active practice and encouragement of law breaking by officials high in the Government of the United I States. Played by Nation "I am not one to disavow the re* sponslbility of each State for enforcing the law. Pennsylvania need not shrink from comparison with any other State in this respect. But I recognize, as every man must who has studied the situation, that the leading part In successful enforcement must be played by the nation.” The Eighteenth Amendment was initiated in Washington. The Volstead Law was passed by the National Congress. The leadership in this matter belongs of right to the National Government, and can only be exercised by it. It has, and It alone can employ, powers granted to none of the States —powers without whose use the law cannot be successfully enforced. "No liquor can lawfully be manufactured except by Federal permission. No alcohol can be produced without a Federal permit. All whisky and alcohol in storage is solely in control cf the United States. None can be released from bond, sold, transported, or used In manufacture except by Federal perclssion. No brewery can operate without a permit from the United States. With these permits no State can interfere. The Uquor problem Is first of all a National matter, and as such cannot be met and solved unless the Federal Government Jojs its full part. For Fall Discussion "Do not misunderstand me. I recognize to the full responsibility of each State and of every municipality. But I believe that a clear understanding of the relative powers and functions of State and Nation is indispensable. Without doubt this whole matter will come up for full discussion at the coming conference of the Governors with the President of the United States. "It is foolish to expect the State anl municipal police powers to cope with floods of Illegal liquor let loose by the failure of Federal agents to dam the flood at Its source. “The Nation’s part in enforcement Is not that of the local policeman. Home brew and the blind tiger need concern it little. The State can and should look after such as these. But the Federal Government alone is in position to stop important violations at the source and effectively check the big violators who make the real trouble. "The issue is clear before us, and the outcome is assured. No band of criminals ever has of ever will defeat cur Government and our people." SCHOOL BUILDING BIDS Two More Will Be Received by Board Officials Today. Bids for new buildings at schools No. 38, Winter and Bloyd Avee., and No. 67, 3615 W.
