DRASTIC CHANGE IN GOVERNMENT URGED FOR CITY Former Judge of Appellate Court Says Consolidation Is Necessary. Sweeping change in city, township and county government through elimination and consolidation of offices to gain increased efficiency and economy was advocated today by Elmer Q. Lockyear, until recently Indiana Appellate court judge and now associated in practice of law with Seth S. Ward with offices at 704 F.etcher Trust building. Curtailment of the jurisdiction of justices of peace to prohibit civil actions being taken is their courts is included in the recommendation made by Lockyear. Duplication of governmental function* by city and county officers in Marion county was cited by Lockyear as offering an opportunity for consolidation similar to the plan followed in St. Louis where county officers also direct municipal affairs. Outgrown for Years “Constitutional offices 'provided .years ago have been outgrown under the increase in our highway system and methods of transportation," Lockyear declared. ‘‘An example of this is to be fond in ihe office of justice of peace. Years ago travel to county seats required hours sor 1 the transaction of even minor legal matters. The location of the justice of peace in the township was a necessity. “Nowadays, when an entire county can be covered in less than an hour’s time, and with the facilities provided in municipal courts, the justice of peace only duplicates, in a much less efficent manner, the Unction of municipal courts.

Rests on Legislature “In city courts, parties in any action have the benefit of judges with full knowledge of law. The justice of peace is not expected or required to have the legal training necessary for occupancy of the bench. “In my opinion, the solution of this problem rests with the legislature, where the jurisdiction of the justice should be curtailed to approximate that of a notary public. Because it is a constitutional office, the justice can not be eliminated entirely. “To put them on a fee basis entirely. and restrict their activities to administering oaths, handling deeds and mortgages and perhaps retaining for them the right to perform marriage ceremonie's, would remove the conflict with municipal courts." Willing to Lend Aid Lorkycar declared (hat he would be willing lo assist in drafting a bill covering his suggested changes for introduction to the general assembly. “In a city the size of Indianapolis, where the city limits reach nearly to county limits, there can be numerous offices consolidated with tremendous saving to taxpayers,” Lockyear continued. , “Police functions can be vested in either the sheriff or chief of police. which would eliminate the conflict in authority that now exists with each refusing the act within the other's jurisdiction. “Likewise the county commissioners and the city board of works could be consolidated. So could the county auditor and the city controller, the county and city school superintendents, county highway superintendent and city street commissioner. Assails “Outward Ideas” “Elimination of the city treasurer by including his function in that of the county treasurer has proved satisfactory, so there appears no reason why the same plan might not bo extended throughout our governmental system. “Personnel, records and equipment are duplicated .at present, at a terrific cost to taxpayers, who. however, fail to receive any additional benefit from their extra officers and employes. “In the interest of economy and efficiency, we should place our government on the basis of modern needs rather than continue with a topheavy. outmoded machine of 1900 vintage." Lockyear asserted. FACE BUDGET REVISION Farm Bureau io Continue All Services, Is Report. All services of the Indiana Farm Bureau.

1. I think much more so. The Victorian Age had two outstanding characteristics: Men lying to women about their sex purity and women pretending, even trying, to believe them. It w r as probably the most hypocritical age of sex morals in all history. Men and women now are treating sex as a matter of mutual, honest discussion, and whatever solution they may reach in individual cases, they are at least less hypocritical about it. 2.

Sally and Ralph Have Romantic Roles in Movie Olsen and Johnson in Their Latest Nutty Revue Opens a Week’s Engagement at the Indiana Today. WHEN Kathleen Norris wrote “Second Hand Wife," it is reported she avoided the customary viewpoint of having the divorced wife be represented as a long-suffering martyr and the “other girl" as a golddigger—a viewpoint that is thought to be prevalent in much of today's fiction but which is seldom truthful. Instead. Mrs. Norris wrote a moving and brilliantly true-to-life story about the triangle of a wealthy young banker, his selfish and avaricious wife and his pretty stenographer. In making the screen version of the story, opening at the Apollo today, Director Hamilton MacFadden adhered to Mrs. Norris’ original

tale with exceptional fidelity, it is reported. Sally Eilers and Ralph Bellamy have romantic roles and Helen Vinson is the scheming wife. The work of the three principals is supported by Victor Joy as the wife's lover, little Karol Kay as the daughter, and Dorothy Christy as the society woman who unravels the final tangle. Short subjects supplementing the featured attraction on the program are Movietone News, a two reel comedy and an organlogue entitled, “Night of Romance.” u n a Olsen and Johnson and a large company open a week’s stage engagement today at the Indiana. The screen offers “Madame Butterfly.” “Goona-Goona,” said to be a romantic novelty with native Bali men and women in the cast, opens today at the Terminal. Other theaters today will offer: “Silver Dollar" at the Circle. Singer’s Midgets at the Lyric. “The SonDaughter’’ at the Palace, and “Second Hand Wife" at the Apollo. LAUDS JOB INSURANCE Advantages of Plan Are Explained By Dr. R. Clyde White. Advantages of social insurance were explained to the Indianapolis Advertising Club by Dr. R. Clyde White, of the Indiana university bureau of social research. Thursday. He told how a compulsory savings out of wages can be made to meet the normal exigencies of sickness, accident, old age, and other social problems. Cost of the social insurance system in Germany, Dr. White said, is met from three sources, the employer's income, the wage earners income, and from the state.

and the satisfaction of the hunting instinct by “trimming" others out of their money, undeterred by moral considerations. If he were influenced by moral standards, he would go straight. 3. There are many just reasons, besides romantic love, for a woman marrying a man whom she can respect, such as securing a home, educating her children, congenial companionship, providing for cld age, and the like. I think these are worthy of any woman.
