RELIEF BURDEN WILL FALL ON RICHIN NATION ‘Larger Giver’ Backbone of Aid Structure, Council Head Declares. H’J Bcrippn-JI nirard Xrirnpapcr Alliance WASHINGTON, Oct. 2.—First formal appeal to those with large incomes to contribute more to unemployment relief and general welfare funds this winter has gone out from the headquarters of the National Association of Community Chests and Councils. This association is responsible for success of drives in more than 500 cities, and its campaign is being carried on under auspices of the administration and the President’s organization on unemployment relief. Its statement, sponsored by Paul A. Schoellkopf, of Niagara Falls, vice-president of the association, points out that the most “spectacular feature” of the campaigns for funds for 1931 requirements was the increase in the proportion of contributions made by employed people, over the proportion given by this group in the previous year. Depending on Rich The winter’s campaigns, scheduled by Walter S. Gifford, director of the President’s organization, to start Oct. 19 and Nov. 25, cannot succeed without a “radically improved showing from people of wealth or of large income,” the statement declares. “Analysis of the contributions which were received by 127 community chests,” Schoellkopf says, “shows that the small giver, the individual or family subscribing less than $25, gave 25.8 per cent of the toal for 1931, as against 22 per cent of the total for 1930. To look at it another way: these 127 chests provided an increase of $4,773,177. for 1931 over their grand total for 1930. Os this increase, subscribers of under $25, given largely through employes’ solicitation, are credited with giving 44.9 per cent. Small Donor Essential “Wage-earning people who have been fortunate enough to maintain adequate incomes must continue to do their share, but last year’s proof of their generosity can not be presumed upon too greatly, particularly in view of the falling pay rolls, as shown in a recent general index of manufacturing employment published by the U. S. bureau of labor statistics. “It is apparent that the crucial problem in campaigns for the needs of the coming winter lies in the area of the larger givers.

Indian Pleader

—'■ •

Chief Tecumseh (above), Wenatchee Indian, whose people reside near Tacoma, Wash., will appear in the halls of congress this winter to make a personal plea for justice to his red brothers whom he claims were defrauded of their lands half a century ago. Tecumseh is a college graduate and war veteran, but he will appear in full Indian garb in congress.

EXPLAINS REFUSAL OF CITIZENSHIP TO ‘RED’ Judge Says Russian’s Stand on Public Utilities Not Issue. fl]/ United Preen LAKEPORT, Cal., Oct. 2.—Denial that belief in public ownership of public utilities constituted any part of the grounds for his refusal of citizenship to . T akob Hullen was voiced today by Superior Court Judge Benjamin C. Jones of Lake county. The denial was made in answer to charges contained in a resolution of the national convention of the Public Ownership League of America at Los Angeles. Judge Jones claimed that public ownership of public utilities was not discussed at the citizenship hearing, but that Hullen, a Russian, expressed his belief in the communistic doctrine that all property should be owned by the government and said he did not believe in the American principles of government.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

being fought along national lines as was the Missouri fight. Republican leaders are fearful that desertions will make it impossible for them to organize the house. They no longer are counting on Representative Paul J. Kvale, Farmer-Laborite (Minn.), to vote for Representative Tilson, their nominee, leading G. O. P. candidate for Speaker. Melvin J. Maas of St. Paul is expected to support Representative Garner, the Democratic speakership candidate. In Texas, considerable pressure is being applied to Representative Harry Wurzbach of San Antonio (Rep.) either to vote for Garner or absent himself. From Chicago come reports that Representative Oscar De Priest, Negro (Rep.) threatens to desert and vote for himself for speaker. Republican leaders are not at all certain, they admit, that they will be able to hold western progressives in line. Election of the speaker also assures control of the house, including committee chairmen. Special elections still are to be held in Cincinnati, Saginaw, Philadelphia and in Wisconsin to succeed Republicans and in Cleveland and Brooklyn to succeed Democrots.

SLAPS BAN ON JAP JONES AND HISJIATE PLEA Electric Petition Is Branded Form of Racketeering by Commissioner. Jap Jones and his Franklin electric rate reduction petition both were banned by the public service commission today when an order written by Commissioners Harry K. Cuthbertson was adopted. The Cuthbertson order provides, however, that the commission engineers and accountants “continue their appraisal” of Public Service Company properties at Franklin and that the rate reduction move be carried on through actiota of the commissioners themselves;. It was pointed out in the order that Franklin citizens thus will be given a hearing without the 25 per cent contingent fee, on a reduction basis, which was agreed to by con-

tract between Jones and the Franklin city administration. Jones, well known Martinsville hotel man and prominent Democratic politician, refused to appear and defend his position at a hearing conducted by Cuthbertson last week. Cuthbertson managed to get the contract introduced in evidence through Carlton Shuck, Franklin city attorney, who had lifted it from the files of the city clerk. It disclosed that Jones had been given a $25 fee in connection with the Franklin case and was to get 25 per cent of all reductions made for both city and citizens during the first year the new rates would be in force. This was to come from the city general fund. Cuthbertson's order terms the contract “champertous,” and forbids Jones to appear in connection .with the case. It throws out the petition signed by Franldin citizens, but shown to have been circulated by the city attorney to back the Jones contract. In instituting a rate investigation by the commission, the Cuthbertson order states that rights of the city of Franklin and the consumers who signed the petition “will not be abridged.” He calls the Jones contract idea a form of racketeering and said it was inaugurated “for the purpose of exacting from the public fees and

compensation that not only are unjust and inequitable, but in violation of the. law as being a fraud perpetrated against the public.” Jones recently incorporated the Citizens’ Service Bureau. Inc., to

It doesn’t take long for American-, to wake up to a good thing—only 3 years ago Kruschen Salts were introduced into this country and the welcome news of their superior goodness traveled so fast that at one time the supply was many carloads behind the demand.
