imoo PHAM PLEDGES CLEAN-UP IN GOVERNMENT Tax Reduction, Railroad Reform and Repeal of Tariff Law Promised, By United Press CHICAGO, Feb. 19.—Supporters of William G. McAdoo, having declared him fully available for the presidency, today carried back to the rank and file a list of issues accepted as the McAdoo platform. McAdoo pledged himself to the following program, if elected: ' To scourge the corrupt and the unfit out of Washington. To call anew international conference for discussion of peace. To break the “grip of Wall Street” on the Treasury Department and the Federal reserve system. To bring about railroad reform and reduce rates. To do something concrete for the farmer. To enforce the dry laws. To reduce internal revenue taxes. To repeal the Fordney-McCumber tariff bill. To clean out the Veterans’ Bureau and operate it efficiently. Received With Acclaim McAdoo was received with tumultuous acclaim when he was escorted to the room where the "availability conference” reached its decisions to keep him in the race, holding his connection with the Doheny Mexican oil interests was strictly ethical and legal. “I accept the command,” McAdoo cried when the resolution calling on him to continue the fight was read. McAdoo then read his program, pledging himself to clean out Washington as his first step. His second plant calls for an international conference as soon after March 4, 1925, as possible, for the purpose of considering Uie economic and conditions prevailing in the world with a view to such action on the part or the United States as will promote peace, reduce the burdens of armament, restore justice, and stability and revive prosperity. Submit National Referendum If, as a result of such a conference, an agreement is reached for America to be a party to the agreement, McAdoo uaid he would submit the question to a national referendum at a special election divorced from any political election. Railroad reform is badly needed, he said. He charged President Coolidge has accomplished nothing in that direction. Mr. Coolidge has decided on general consolidations as the remedy, but has merely given the railroads "seven years in which to think it over.” McAdoo also pledged himself to a labor delegation that, will make for accent living wage standards and tribunals for keeping peace in industry. He pledged himself to work for child labor and minimum wage amendments to the Constitution.

SICK HEADACHE WAS RELIEVED Missouri Lady Says She Was Miserable With Constipation and Sick Headaches Until She Used Black-Draught. "I have used Black-Draught, when needed, for the past twenty-five years,” recently said Mrs. Emma Grimes, who lives in “Green Valley Farm,” near Forbes, Mo., “and it has given perfect satisfaction. “I began taking it for a bad case of constipation. I "would get constipated and feel just miserable—sluggish, tired, with a bad taste in my mouth. I didn’t feel like doing anything and soon my head would begin hurting and I would have a severe sick headache. t “I don’t know who started me to taking Black-Draught, but it did the work. It just seemed to cleanse the liver. Very soon I felt like new. When I found BlackDraught so easy to take and easy acting, I began using it in time and would not have sick headaches. .. . “I can recommend Black-Draught very highly for liver trouble, headache or constipation.” • Constipation leads to a great deal of sickness among those who neglect to treat it without delay. The poisons which constipation forces your blood to re-absorb may cause great pain and much danger to your general health. Keep Thedford's Black-Draught in the house and use it promptly for relief at the first sign of constipation— I Advertisement.

CIVIC CLUBS TO STUDY CAR FARE INCREASE MOVE Attendance at Public Hearing Next Monday Evening Is Probable, Officers of the Indianapolis Federation of Community Civic Clubs will meet with E. O. Snethen, president, Friday to discuss the attitude of the federation toward the proposed street car fare increase, Snethen announced today. "We probably will have representatives present at the public hearing before the city council Monday night,” he said. "However, we may not oppose and increase. I believe the car company really is in a bad financial condition.” The council considered a report on the company’s condition Monday night. The report made by Benjamin Perk, city utility expert, and a council committee of Lloyd D. Claycoinbe, John E. King, Otto Ray and Theodore Bernd, carried no recommendation for any specific increases. Figures showed that the company’s revenue in 1924 will fall $475,735.05 short of the $6,002,860.35 needed for operating expenses, taxes and depreciation. Bernd Fails to Sign Councilman Bernd did not sign the report, explaining he had no opportunity to read Perk’s findings. Perk calculated that on a 7-cent fare with four tickets for 25 cents, revenue wftuld increase $1,058,079 on the present passenger list. This includes a 1-cent transfer charge. A 6-cent fare with 1-cent transfer would increase revenue $724,579 with the present passenger list. Increased fares probably would reduce the total number of passengers carried, Perk estimated. The company carried 91,864,543 revenue passengers in 1923 and 18.656.944 transfer passengers. Fare receipts amounted to $4,602,549.41 and transfer receipts $379,871.33. For several years, the company has not been able to set aside any depreciation reserve, the report shows, and in 1923, without depreciation it showed a surplus of only $4,116.32. while in 1922 it showed a deficit of $26,900.99. Another blow at the proposed garage at the southwest-corner of Market St. and the Circle was struck by the council when an '■•••dinance prohibiting construction of a erarage within 150 feet of a public memorial, public building. church or school was passed under suspension of rules. Councilman Ray introduced the ordinance. Fees Are Reduced The council reduced city fees on pool and billiard tables from $lO to $5 annually with passage of an ordinance providing for the reductions. ordinance passed changed classification of the southeast corner of Sherman Dr., and Twenty-Sixth St. from residential to business. Ordinances introduced! Changing territory in the vicinity of Twenty-Fifth and Gale 45ts. from residential to business. Establishing territory near Oliver, Tremont and Morris Aves. as residential.
