FARMER SENATOR SCORES MEASURE ON COUNTY UNIT Lindiey Declares Proposed System Would Harm Rural Schools. '•The theory of the county unit educational system points to Federal control of our system, and, if carried to its ultimate conclusion, would lead to the Communist that the State should control the children.” This was the observation today of State Senator A- M. Lindiey, Kingman, farmer, regarding the county unit educational bill. Lindiey is chairman of the Senate Agricultural committe and is especially interested in the bill in so far as it affects rural schools. Lindiey held no brief for the county trustees, but declared a county board of education of five members, as set up by the bill, dominated by the county superintendent, who in turn is controlled by the State board of education, would set up an education oligarchy. Comparison With Roads He likened the system to the present county system, in which he said all improvements were made near or leading toward the county seat for the reason the political life of the county was controlled by the county seat. He said the theory of throwing county educational funds into a general fund and letting the “rich townships help pay for schools of the poorer townships” looked all right, but that it was just as logical to let Lake or Marion County help pay for schools in Brown County, or Illinois, a richer State, help pay for education in Indiana or Idaho. .Lindiey scored the State board of education, declaring needs of the common school, or more particularly the country school, were overlooked, as he. said the board was controlled by heads of Purdue and Indiana Universities and the normal school and common school curriculum was made a feeder for colleges, not of any particular benefit to the child in itself. Survey Report Quoted The Senator pointed to the report of the recent educational survey in Indiana, in which it was set out that tne normal schools were training teachers .for high schools and that the courses were merely a college eourse instead of a normal school course. ....... Lindiey also pointed out report of the survey regarding the State board of education. “A properly constituted State board of education should be composed of high-minded laymen. Representing the people in an advisory, legislative and judicial capacity, it should depend for professional guidance and for execution of the school law* on its executive officer, the State superintendent.” The report of the educational commission, however, recommended the county unit system of education. VETS GET FIRST CHANCE Islands in Tippecanoe River Opened to Homesteaders. Bu Times Special WASHINGTON, Jan. 30—The last unappropriated public land remaining in Indiana has been thrown open to homestead entry by order of the Interior Department. The land consists of two small islands in the Tippecanoe River in White County, with a combined area of about five acres.

Salvage Truck Bumped Miss Louise Allen, 18, of Cold Springs Rd. and Thirty-Eighth St., was charged today with blocking a salvage truck which struck her auto en route to a fire at Capitol Ave., and Twenty-Sixth St. She said she did not see or hear the truck.

THE '.INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

SUPPORTERS OF THIRD PARTY GET COOWE SLAP La Follette Supporters Denied Any Patronage by President, BY DALE VAN EVERY United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Jan. 31.—President Coolidge has cov.mitted his administration to a political policy which would seem to bar adherents of third movements from virtually all political and social participation in governmental affairs. His policy was initiated by withholding from Republican members of Congress who supported Senator La Follette all consideration' in matters of patronage and then was developed into real militancy by excluding them from Republican cnucuses in both 'be Senate and the House. Vigorous Warfare Mr. Coolidge .is determined to make this vigorous warfare upon all thirty-party movements one of the dominant political aims of the next two years of his Administration. He believes that his victory in the last election was not onl' r a mandate to the Republican party to rule, but to accept the sole responsibility for ruling. The President approved and encouraged the ouster moves in the Senate and House. But his disapproval of third-party movements goes deeper than mere inner-party politics. He believes a two-party system the only sound theory of government for this country, and is determined to make war on all blocs. Snubs Shipstead The extent to which Mr. Coolidge proposes to carry his policy of withholding recognition of any kind from third party adherents was exemplied when he recently invited Republican and Democratic members of the Senate Foreign Affairs Committee to dinner at the White House, but did not include Senator Shipstead, Farmer-Labor member of the committe, among his guests. This policy of rigorous exclusion from every Bort of consideration President Coolidge feels to be the one sure method of breaking up obstructionist groups of Congress. The last election, he believes, resulted in a popular mandate to maintain a two-party political system and vigorously to suppress every tendency to depart from it.

IRISH FREE STATE PREPARES TO 1 FAMINESUFFERERS Amount of Relief Needed Being Estimated by Government, By United Press DUBLIN, Jan. 31.—Public pressure was brought upon the Free State government today that it intervene in the famine crisis of the west. * An official statement was being prepared, concretely defining the areas in which failure of the potato crop has brought on conditions akin to starvation. * Estimate Needs The government also is attempting to estimate the precise amount of charity relief needed. Everything depends upon the weather conditions of the remainder of the winter and early spring. Continuous rains not only have blighted the potato crop and deprived thousands of their one source of food, but have inundated the peat bogs, where the peasants get their winter fuel. Continuation of inclement weather ur, doubtedly will result in the worst famine in all Ireland's history. Map Being Made • The Government is perfecting a map of the famine area, showing the “black misery” pockets and sections where the fuel supply is from one-half to two thirds below norraaL Such a condition exists in County Cork as well as on the western seaboard. \ Government officials are certain the present relief fund of 500,000 pounds starling is insufficient.

KEEP ROAD COST OUT OF GENERAL TAXESJTEW PLAH Proposed $6,000,000 Cut in Commission Requests v Is Explained, The budget advisory committee's recommendation that the State high way commission’s request of $17,900,000 for each of the next two years be reduced $6,000,000 per year, reduces the commission’s expenditures strictly to the estimated revenues from gasoline and automobile ( tax, inheritance tax and Federal aid. it was learned today. Federal Aid The $6,000,000 reduction in the request interferes in no way with Federal aid, estimated at $3,000,000 per year, it is understood. Deduction of $6,000,000 from the commission’s annual request leaves $11,900,000, is made up of $4,700,000 in auto license fees and $5,720,000 gasoline tax. Natural increases in the revenue for 1926 would make the second year’s total $12,600,000. Including Federal Aid, an average of $15,010,000 a year will be available as compared to the $17,900,000 requested. The effect of cutting the highway commission’s request is to avoid appropriating $2,890,’000 a year out of money raised by general taxation. Other Outs 9 It is understood approximately SB.000,000 will be cut from the several budget requests of $25,000,000, leaving approximately $17,000,000 to be raised by general. taxation for all purposes. It would take a 31-cent levy on the present valuation to raise the $17,000,000 contemplated. If the re appraisal lowers the assessed valuation of property in the State by $500,000,000 a 34-cent levy may be necessary, it was learned. GUN OWNERS WARNED Arrests to Follow Unless Licenses Are Taken Gut. Unless approximately 300 persons obtain 1925 licenses in the next few days from Oscar Queisser, secretary to Police Chief Herman F.
