legislators BROKE PLEDGE. BOSH CHARGES State Lawmakers Silent as Taunts Are Flung in Their Faces. CLmi-gp?; of Lieutenant-Governor rf Rar D. Bush that no defense can made or the failure of the 1931 *" era J assembly to enact definite and adequate remedial tax legislation was received with but little comment today by members of the assembly. Bush made his atack at the annual luncheon given by the state an board to the Governor and members of the general assembly •Thursday in the woman’s building. Approximately half the members oi the general assembly, Governor ■Hairy o. Leslie, and party leaders Were present when Bush spoke. No defense can be made for the lailtire of the general assembly to enact definite and adequate remedial ! tax legislation. The people were! begging for relief. They asked for \ bread and the legislature gave them a stone. They asked for fish and you gave them a serpent.

Less Drinking in ’3l The failure of the legislature to keep faith was not due to the fact that its members were inferior in intellect and character to the men of the previous sessions. Neither was it due to the fact that they were drunk and that they paid more attention to drinking whisky than they did to legislation. ' "There was less drinking in 1931 than there was in the 1917 session over which I presided and there were enough sober men in the 1917 general assembly to pass state-wide prohibition. Each succeeding session since 1917 has been accompanied by the falling off of the influence of liquor in cur lawmaking toody,” Bush said. ‘‘The failure of the legislature Was due to the fact that neither political party Republican nor Democrat—had the honesty or the courage to carry out the promises made to the people in their platforms and on the stump. Broke Their Pledges Bush pointed out that tax relief definitely w r as promised by both parties, but in no case did the leaders stand by their loyal members in both houses. Taking issue with Bush, Representative Earl Crawford of Milton, Democratic caucus chairman, declared he believed it was a good thing that no tax legislation had been enacted.

“I have no apologies to make for the last session,” he said. ‘‘l am not so sure that some good has not come out of our failure to pass tax laws. If some of those bills had been passed, we would not have had the interest now existent in reducing budgets.” DEPRESSION TO BOOST BUTLER ENROLLMENT Students at Out-City Colleges Likely to Register Here.

V • •' $M&&:

Howard Buck Hopes to Be Saved From Lawless Tendencies. Medical science has striven again to erase the criminal tendencies of Howard Buck, 30, of Akron, former University of Chicago football player. „ In a hospital at Massillon, 0., Buck is recovering from his second operation in two years to remove pressure on his brain that caused him to be nervous, depressed and to write false checks According to physicians a£ the Ohio institution the operation, from a surgical standpoint, was a success, abscesses on his brain and the pressure of a bone, having been removed. Time Only Test

Whether the operation will clear up Buck’s penchant for writing bad ; checks during lapses of memory, ; only time will tell. The former football player today ! said he “felt better” than he had in | the last nine years. “My head feels clearer,” Buck | said. “I believe my criminal tendencies have been removed.” Buck recently was arrested in Ohio for forgery. It was then that he revealed his condition to prosecuting authorities and the operation followed. Hurt in Grid Game Buck, who said he suffered a fracture of the skull in a Chicago football game in 1922, underwent his •first brain operation at the Robert W. Long hospital here in 1929. The Indianapolis operation was performed while Buck was on parole on a two to fourteen-year forgery sentence from the state reformatory. He was working as a draftsman in the state highway commission when Bert C. Fuller, Indianapolis insurance man, and Governor Harry G. Leslie became interested m ! his case.

DRY CRUSADER BRANDS LIQUOR ‘MORALCURSE’ Decides Personal Liberty Argument; Sessions at Cadle to Close. i “If there ever was any right of personal liberty to get drunk, it has been lost in the common right of : protection of life and property of I the whole people.” This challenge was hurled at .wets by Colonel Raymond Robins. Chicago social economist, in adaddress Thursday at the Allied Forces for Prohibition mass meetings at Cadle tabernacle. “The advance of democracy, particularly woman’s suffrage, now that 1 women can protect themselves at , the ballot box, is the best guarantee j that the eighteenth amendment | never will bs repealed,” Robins said. Called Moral Parasite He insisted that a careful study ! of economics demonstrated that the j “liquor traffic is not only a moral j curse, but a moral parasite upon ! legitimate business.” Miss Norma C.
