SHANK PROMISES FARM MARKETING AIO IF ELECTED Mayor Touches on Rural Taxation and Blue Sky Laws in Rushville Speech, by lime* Special CONNERSVILLE, Ind., Feb. 26. That he would back a cooperative farm, marketing bill drafted to meet demands of Indiana's most competent farmers was the campaign promise of Mayor Shank of Indianapolis, candidate for the Republican nomination for Governor in a speech here Monday night. More than 400 persons crowded the courthouse to hear Mayor Shank. In discussing marketing he said there was entirely too much of a gap between the farmers’ and the consumers’ price for products and a marketing organization would cut the middleman's profit. Tax Burden “The burden of taxation is on farmers because most of the levy is on real estate,” the mayor declared. “At least one-half of the property of the State is in stocks, bonds and mortgages. but I'll bet there is not more than 25 per cent of it on the tax duplicates.” he said. After making a vigorous attack on the Dollings concern, he scored Ed Jackson for permitting such stock to be sold and advocated stringent “blue sky” laws. He characterized the Dollings case as a tragedy to Indiana widows and orphans. He suggested the licensing of all stock agencies and a tax on stock securities. Talks of McCray The mayor attacked members of the public service commission who voted to raise Indianapolis water rates, and discussed briefly Governor McCray's financial transactions. “There's not much danger that I'll borrow any money if I'm elected,” the mayor commented. “I doubt very much if any Governor of Indiana could go into any bank and borrow money. “The first thing they would ask him is what business he was in. If he said he was Governor, they would refuse,” Shank said. The only reference he made to the Ku-Klux Klan was when he said he belonged to almost every organization except the Knights of Columbus and the Klan. TUNE IN ON THIS.

The Film Combated Why not keep th'ose prettier teeth ?
Your dentist, when he cleans teeth, removes the dingy film. Th teeth look whiter, cleaner. Wny not keep them so? Millions of people now daily fight that film. They use a newtype tooth paste. Now, wherever you look, you see teeth glistensee them free from clouds. How teeth lose their beauty You feel on your teeth a viscous film. Under old-way brushing, much of it clings and stays. Food stalifs, etc., discolor it, then it forms dingy coats to cloud the luster of the teeth.. Film also causes most tooth troubles. It holds food substanoe which ferments and forms acid. It holds the acid in contact with the teeth to cause decay. Germs breed by millions in it. They, with tarttar, are the chief cause of pyorrhea. That is why tooth troubles come to so many, despite the daily care. Modem science has discovered
Protect the Enamel Pepsodent disintegrates the film, then removes it with an agent far softer than enamel. Never use a film combatant which contains harsh grit.

COUNCIL CONSIDERS CAR RATE J^NCREASE Further Survey to Be Made, Following Airing of Public Views on Proposed Boost,
City councilmen today were con- | sidering financial condition of the In- ! dianapolis Street Railway Company, | after views on a proposed car fare boost had been aired in a public hear- ! ing for two and a half hours Monday night in the council chambers. Waltei W. Wise, president, said no action would be taken until next Monday night, when additional surveys would be made. Sentiment expressed Monday night by “straphangers” was largely against any fare increase, although a few citizens appeared in defense of the st -eet railway. Robert I. Todd, president of the company, was on the floor constantly, challenging statements and answering questions. Joseph A. McGowan, treasurer; Charles F. Hogate, master mechanic, and H. C. Wilson and John J. Appel, directors, also were present, but did not speak. Three Hundred Present Almost three hundred citizens, from all occupations, were crowded into the chambers. Frequent applause and laughter marked the hearing, despite efforts of Wise to keep order. At 10:30, when adjournment was taken on motion of Councilman Heydon W. Buchanan, ruen werestill clamoring for the floor. When asked by William Bosson what the street car company really wanted. Todd admitted no new fare schedule had been formulated. “We just want to give the service the city deserves and wants,” Todd i said. Benjamin Perk, city utility Expert, repeated his suggestion of a 7-cent cash fare, one-eent transfer, four tickets for a quarter, and eighteen for sl. as one way to realize an additional $i,00.000 In revenue for depreciation. Schmidt Favors Increase He showed that the company had only $4,116 for depreciation in 1923. with a gross revenue of $5,527,009. He ' proposed that any rate change be ! temporary and that regulation of the I company should be up to the city. Perk, at Wise's request, read a letter from Gustav Schmidt, former president, of the city council, urging that the car company be treated fairly. He said the company was the only utility which had not received fair treatment from the city. Stephen Fuller,, member of Mayor Shank's street railway committee in 1922. spoke for forty minutes against any fare Increase as “an old story.” fries of “Hear him” rang out when Wise attempted to cut his time short. “Cut and I>ried” ‘We never can get the company to tell what relief it wants,” said Fuller,. “We gave it a 10-cent car fare and removed jitney competition. “Why are more cars necessary if (the company ra e<t 214.000 fewer passengers last yea, than in 1922?” When laughter accompanied this re-
two ways to fight that film. One disintegrates the film at all stages of formation. One removes it without harmful scouring. Many careful tests have proved these methods effective. A newtype tooth paste has been created to apply them daily. The name is Pepsodent. Today careful people of some 50 nations employ it, largely by dental advice. To countless homes it has brought anew dental era. Ten days shows what it means This delightful test will quickly show you what Pepsodent can do. It does more than fight film. It multiplies the alkalinity of the saliva. That is there to neutralize mouth acids. It multiplies the ptyalin in saliva, which is there to digest starch deposits on teeth. These combined results give a new idea of what a dentifrice should do. Send the coupon for a 10-Day Tube. Note how clean the teeth feel after using. Mark the absence of the viscous film. See how teeth become whiter as the film-coats disappear. What you see and feel will tell you what is best for you and youpe. Cut out coupon now.

Green of the Railroad Men's Building- and Loan Association, said a 6-cent fare was inadequate now, and the company should have an in- j crease. He said other costs had ! mounted. “This whole thing is cut and dried, j what’s the use of eomirg up here any- j way?” shouted William E.

Bornkamp, who said he 1 represented citizens of the west side. | “I think the fares ought to he re- | duced instead of increased.” Henry L. Dithmer, president of the | Chamber of Commerce, pleaded for a | square deal for the company. “I have faith in these officials, and : we want a real car system to help I the city grow,” he said. “You haven’t considered common | labor in this increase.” shputed TI. | O'Connor, a patron of the Brtght- | wood line, who said he did not bej lieve car fare in other cities should | j he the basis when wage scale is lower j here. Snefhesi for Increase I | “What do other cities pay for labor—that’s the question,” he said. The street car company cannot do the work it did ten years ago at the same wage, any more than any individual can. Russell Willson former city council president/ said. He pointed out the danger of reiving on busses if the street car company failed. T. M. Thomas, who said he represented the “whole south side," questioned the safety of motormen in dink cars on the south side. He was ruled out of order by President Wise. H. L. Seeger opposed any increase now. saying the country was passing through a period of depression. Edward O. Snethen, president, of Federation of Community Civic Clubs, said clubs were divided over fa-e increase, but personally he believed the company should have relief. Todd on Defense C. A.

Losh, representative of the Enterprise Civic League. “The company has milked the public for a long time.” J. L. Bryant, representing Community Boosters of the Bethany Christian Church, and Toad engaged in a heated discussion at the top of tneir voices. “I understand you get $25,000 a year,” shouted Bryant. “I wish I did,” retorted Todd. Bryant then questioned the legality of the company’s organization, but Todd said the company status was legal. Todd then Sreplied to many ques- j tions from the crowd. He admitted | that the company had made only five j miles of extension in slxten years, while the city's population had doubled. TV/0 STATE LAWS UNDER U. S.
