DEMOCRATS TO SLAP SILENCER ON REFERENDUM Party Chiefs Regard Move as Dangerous Politics, Gossip Indicates. BY BEN STERN If trends of thought among Democratic leaders gathered at French Lick over the week-end for thc-ir harmony sessions are indicated by their gossip, the Democratic state convention not only will refuse to approve a plank asking for a wet and dry referendum, but may not be given an opportunity at all to act upon such a resolution. The three committees which will act as a barrier to all plank proposals are expected to be able to withstand the assaults of friends of the referendum; and when the finshed resolutions will be presented to the delegates for approval, the referendum question will be noticeable because of its absence. No matter how the majority of Democrats feel personally about the wet and dry issue, they regard insertion of any pronouncement for a vote on the questions as dangerous politically. Formal announcement of his candidacy for the nomination for secretary of state was made by Arthur J. Hamrick, Clayton, three times nominee for the post. At same time, Dr. T. A. Sigler, Greencastle, also from the Fifth district, has indicated he may become a candidate. Sigler is Putnam county chairman.

Shousc Flays President Address of Jouett Shouse, chairman of Democratic national committee, and Frederick Van Nuys Indianapolis, former United States district attorney, were heard by more than 450 party leaders and workers. Shousc undertook the task of puncturing stories concerning “Hoover, the miracle worker and paragon of efficiency.” “Standing behind the President lias become more and more difficult for the statesmen of the President’s party,” he said. “In fact, it has transformed these standpatters into grandstand Jumpers.” Shouse concentrated his attack upon the President’s policies with regard to the tariff and the stock market collapse. He attributed the present “bewilderment and distress of the country to the amazing series of legislative spectacles which has attended the writing of the tariff bill. “The bill pleases no one. It does not help the farmer, as promised. It threatens business everywhere and living costs will be higher for all,” he asserted. Brands Tax Board Moves “Wholesale tax evasions in Lake county with the cognizance of the state administration are responsible for the heavy tax burden upon Indiana,” Van Nuys charged. He stood the party leaders in their seats as he asserted; “Governor Leslie’s state tax board does not use its power to increase assessments in Lake county because the Calumet region is the balance of power which gives G. O. P. state tickets their winning votes. “Leslie will not act. His hands are tied. It was the vote of Lake county and the corrupt Tenth district Republican machine that elected him Governor. Lake county’s tax valuation should be twice that of Marion county whereas in 1928 the total assessed valuation was little more than half of that in Marion county.” Wales Presides at Levee Hu United Press LONDON, June 2.—The second levee of the season was held at St. Jame's palace today, but it lost much of its significance, because of the absence of King George, who is ill.

Delivering the Goods The railroads of the country go everywhere and carry everything, and thus they enter into every phase of modern life. vast flow of goods that moves over their lines is proof of the diversity and immensity of needs and desires in a great nation where a high standard of living prevails. Truly the railroads serve everybody and in every conceivable way. The railroads serve the individual by carrying food and clothing. They serve the home by transporting building materials and fuel. They serve agriculture by hauling seed stock and implements and farm products. They serve industry by moving raw materials and manufactured goods. In fact, everything that contributes to our national economic productivity enters into the great stream of traffic that unceasingly pours through the nationwide channels pro video by the railroads. Altogether this traffic stream is made up of approximately 25,000 classifications of commodities, some of which in turn comprise hundreds of different items. The value at destination of a year’s shipments by rail in the United States was recently estimated as being approximately sixty-eight billion dollars. - The railroads are mindful of the great responsibility resting upon them by reason of the essential nature of their work. They are proud of their record of service in the past, but at the same time they are steadily increasing their capacity and efficiency. With the continued good will of the public, they can be relied upon to advance constantly in usefulness to the nation. Constructive criticism and suggestions are invited. L. A.

B’l United Press EVANSTON, 111., June 2—Presidents of 255 colleges in forty-five elates believe there is less student drinking, that there is a larger number of nondrinking students (nan ever and a growing trend of student opinion against liquor, according to a questionnaire seent out by the Women’s Christian Temperance Union.

FAILURE OF DRY LAW IS LAID TO STATEOFFICERS Doran Charges Disregard of Federal Statutes in Wet Sections. BY CECIL OWEN United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, June 2.—On the eve of the federal government's supreme effort to enforce prohibition through anew alignment of investigating and prosecuting agencies under Attorney-General Mitchell, the administration has launched a new appeal for better co-operation from the states. In an analysis of prohibition enforcement made public by Prohibition Commissioner Doran, failure to obtain effective liquor law enforcement was blamed squarely on some state officials who were said to have disregarded their sworn duty because of wet sentiment in their communities. “If state officials were as active in enforcing the national prohibition act as it is clear they have the duty and obligation to be,” Doran said, “it becomes at once apparent that prohibition could be enforced successfully.” The Doran charge against certain state officers was the most direct accusation to be leveled against the states by a high federal official, although chairman George W. Wickersham of President Hoover’s law

enforcement commission has urged more co-operation from the states. Inadequate prohibition enforcement in New York state was laid by Doran on the refusal of local authorities to initiate prosecutions in the larger cities. States not having dry acts of their own still are required by the concurrent clause of the eighteenth amendment to assume equal responsibility with federal officials for enforcing prohibition. Doran said. Fishing Boat Wreck Probed Bn United Press SANTA MONICA. Cal., June 2.
