U. S. DECLARED INDIFFERENT TO STATE AFFAIRS Need of Informed Voters Is Cited in Talk by David Lawrence. America was described as “a nation lamentably Indifferent and ignorant of its affairs of state,” by David Lawrence, noted writer and editor of the United States Daily, Washington, in addressing a luncheon meeting of the United States Society at the Columbia Club today. He will speak tonight at the clubs forty-second annual beefsteak dinner when members of twenty-five years or more standing will be honored. This afternoon Lawrence was to be a guest at tea of Mr. and Mrs. Booth Tarkington at their home. Delegation Inevitable Discussing government at the luncheon, Lawrence said that as soon as a community grows beyond the "town meeting” stage, delegation of power to a few becomes a neccsit.y since there can not be a day-by-day referendum on affairs of state. 'We are turning out of our high schools and colleges a million more students every year,” he continued. "Unfortunately, through no fault of the schools, we have failed to create either a familiarity or an interest in government on their part. "Now, if we could turn out annually 25,000 young men and women whose interest in the subject of government in the affairs of their municipalities, their state and their nation was sufficient to qualify t hem for informed leadership, we surely could change the whole conception of government. Into Informed Voters We could transform a nation lamentably indifferent and ignorant of its affairs of state into a responsible and informed electorate.” Lawrence, who is national chairman of the United States Society, expressed a belief that it will do much toward acquainting the mass mind of America with governmental matters. He praised the organization's Indiana leaders, William Fortune, chairman, and Miss Lucy Taggart, co-chairman. At the dinner tonight, Lawrence will be introduced by Governor Harry G. Leslie. "Current Proolrms will be the editor’s topic.

COUNTY TAKES $127,000 LOSS IN LOT FIASCO No Buyers Found for Land in Which School Funds Are Tied Up by Loans. BY SHELDON KEY Marion county today had shouldered an added tax burden of more than $127,000 because officials Monday were unsuccessful in selling at auction scores of vacant lots, remnants of a futile real estate promotion. With common school funds tied up in the real estate because of loans made on , the properties in 1928 and 1929, the county must take over the indebtedness and the 6 per cent accrued interest. Charles A. Grossart, county auditor, today said that, due to the financial mix-up, it will be necessary for the county to seek monetary support for the school fund. He said steps will be taken to transfer finances from the general fund into the school division. Involved in the $127,000 financial load, which will be met in the future by taxation, are scores of unimproved lots in Rainbow Ridge addition, near Speedway City. Loans, totaling more than $60,000,

Snagged Again! By United Pretß JEFFERSON CITY, Mo.. March 29 —The candidacy of the Rev. James L. Delk, Sullivan, Mo., evangelist, for the Democratic gubernatorial nomination, struck another snag today. Delk, an enthusiastic campaigner who seeks election on a platform of abolition of capital punishment, poorhouses and potters’ fields, notified Charles U. Becker, secretary of state, of his candidacy—but he didn’t inclose the necessary SIOO filing fee. The filing won’t be accepted until the money is received. Dslk recently incountered difficulty when someone stole a pair of overalls from the car in which he campaigns. He explained the overalls were for rural speeches, and that he didn’t have money enough for another pair.

were obtained on them from the school fund by Wesley Ryan, Indianapolis contractor, on approval of Harry Dunn, former auditor. According to records, Ryan obtained the money with the aid of Ira Haymaker, county recorder, and by using names of nineteen persons who, it is said, did not own property in the addition. According to statements of officials, the law, limiting loans to $4,000 to any individual, was evaded through use of the nineteen persons’ names in the transaction.

SCHOOL CENSUS HONESTY‘PAYS' City Loses $3.50 for Each Name Missed in Count. Co-operation of the public in the annual school enumeration to be taken April II to 30 was asked today by W. A.. Hacker, city schools assistant superintendent and social service director. Misunderstanding of the purpose, of the census, Hacker said, has resulted in past years in some persons failing to co-operate with the enumerators, with the result that names of many persons of school age were not obtained and the school city failed to obtain its just share of money from the state school fund. The school city receives approximately $3.50 for each name, a total of more than $300,000 a year from the state school fund, distributed on the basis of the enumeration. Approximately sixty-five enumerators, all of whom already have been selected, will conduct the enumeration. Names of persons between the ages of 6 and 20 will be taken. Last year the number totaled more than 83,600. Bridge Contract Awarded The highway department today
