DEMOCRATS TO DISCUSS COUNTY SHAKEUPPLANS Sweeping Changes Drafted in Bill, to Be Sifted at Caucus Today. BY JAMES DOSS House Democrats were to caucus this afternoon on a proposal for a sweeping reorganization of county government, wiping out township lines, abolishing many county offices, and fixing a salary scale for county officials. Provisions of the bill, which is expected to bring about simplification of local laws and more economical administration, was to be explained at the caucus by its author, Representative Wilfred Jessup i Dem., Centerville). He also is author of the state reorganization measure, behind which Governor Paul V McNutt threw all the power of his administration. He estimates the county measure will effect economy of $5,000,000. Provides Three Classes Jessup's proposal would divide all counties of the state into three classes on a basis of population instead of area. First class counties, population more tha n 100.000, would have seven or five townships; second class counties, population 40,000 to 100,000, five townships, and third class counties, population less than 40,000, three or five townships. No provisions of the act would apply to courts or prosecuting attorneys. Effective May 1, 1333, the office of township assessor would be abolished and his duties transferred to the township trustee. The office of county assessor also would be abolished and his duties transferred to the county recorder. Offices of county highway superintendent and county surveyor would be combined under the latter office and the ditch commissioner’s duties assigned also to the surveyor. Salaries Are Set Effective Dec. 31, 1933, at the conclusion of present appropriations all fees of officers would be paid into the conty treasury and officers placed on the following straight salary basis: First Class—Circuit clerk, $3,000 to $5,000; auditor, recorder, treasurer and sheriff, same; coroner, $1,500 to $3,000; surveyor, $2,000 to $5,000. Second Class—Circuit clerk, $2,000 to $4,000; auditor! recorder, treasurer and sheriff, same; coroner, SSOO to $2,000; surveyor, SI,OOO to $4,000. Third Class—Circuit clerk, SI,OOO to $3,000; auditor, $1,500 to $3,000; recorder, treasurer and sheriff, same; coroner, S3OO to $750; surveyor, SI,OOO to $3,000. Salaries would be fixed yearly by the county council, and, effective April 30 of this year, boards of comity commissioners would assume all dutilcs of the present board, of the board of finance, board of review and board of education. Also effective on that date, the auditor, treasurer and assessor would be eliminated from the board of review. The county coroner would assume all duties of the county health commissioner, whose office would be abolished. Office of county school superintendents 'continue merged with that of county agricultural agent, salary to be fixed by county council at $1,500 to $4,000. The county council would be constituted of a trustee from each township and three councilmen. Thus, in a second class county will five townships, there would be elected in the November election three councilmen from each township with a total councilmanic personnel of 20. The trustee and the three councilmen would form the township advisory board and make necessary tax levies and appropriations. The Jessup proposal contains a school township setup to taxe over school property in new township boundaries, leaving school cities undisturbed. The trustee and advisory board would have charge of township schools and supervise all poor relief. Justices of the peace would be limited one to each township, with both his and a constable's salary fixed by the county council.

Shoes of ‘Miracle Man’ Put Under Critical Eves of State’s Podiatrists

Success of Canadian Due to Diagnosing Abiiity, Says Hoosier. Publicity that has clarioned Dr. M. W. Locke of Williamsburg, Canada, as the “Miracle Man” who cures many diseases and illnesses through foot massage and the use of certain styles of wedge shoes, will be “bunked'’ during the meeting of the Indiana Association of Podiatrists. The convention will open Sunday in the Lincoln and end Tuo.-aay. Dr. William J. Stickel. dean of the Illinois College of Chiropody, will tell of Dr. Locke's methods in his little farm home by the side of the road that has become a mecca for the ailing. Shoes prescribed by Dr. Locke will be on display at the convention for the critical eyes of the Indiana podiatrists. Dr. Hal P. Smith, chairman of the public information division of the Indiana body and the National Association of Chiropodists, declares, “There are no patent medicine features to any make of shoe.” •American manufacturers have developed many remedial and preventive lasts. The secret of a comfortable shoe for your foot is to find the right last and have it correctly fitted,” he says. "After treating a patient, in nearly every case. Dr. Locke prescribes shoes to follow up his treatment. His shoes vary in shape and heel height just as do other makes. His success in relieving foot troubles, it would appear, depends on his ability to prescribe the right last to relieve a specific foot condition. “Feet are as individual as a face. A hat that might, be stunning on your neighbor might not be the least becoming to your style of beauty and just so with shoes. A shoe that might bring complete comfort to one might cause you more grief. “It reallv is not the make of shoe that counts. It is finding the right last or type of shoe to correctly fit your foot." he said.

IVAN MORGAN WILL FIGHT TO BLOCKOUSTER State G. 0. P. Chairman to Battle Watson Move; Defends Record. (Continued from Page One) every reason to believe that Watson would favor, or at least not obstruct, his own candidacy. Morgan, so it is related, told Watson that the men who had put up SBOO should have a run for their money and, from that time on. he was off the Watson books. In a meeting held at Muncie following the election, Morgan was called upon to give an account of his stewardship. He told the members that the committee was in debt to the extent of $26,000 when he took charge. Among the creditors was Harry Fenton, secretary, to the extent of $4,200. Micky Hanrahan, field worker, was back $3,800 and Gaylord Morton, auditor for the party, had $3,000. coming. There was a hotel bill for two years for $4,800 and the telephone company had extended credit to the extent of $2,400. Morgan raised the money to clear the debts, run the campaign on a cash basis, and still has a balance of about $2,000 in the treasury, the first time, it is said, since former Governor James Goodrich was chairman. This record will be brought into the open when the committee meets. Under the rules all meetings must be open to the public. Friends of Morgan are fighting mad. They will protest against Watson again becoming dictator of the organization.

usual cathartic. You’ll be rid of all that poisonous waste, and you haven’t weakened the bowels. You’ll have a better appetite, and feel better in every way. The constant use of cathartics is often the cause of a sallow’ complexion and lines in the face. And so unnecessary! Would vou like to break yourself of the cathartic habit? At the same time building health and vigor that protects you from frequent sick spells, headaches, and colds? Get a big bottle of Dr. Caldwell's syrup pepsin today. Use often enough to avoid those attacks of constipation. When you feel weak and run-down or a coated tongue or bad breath warns you the bowels need to be stimulated. Give it to children instead of strong laxatives that sap their strength. It isn’t expensive.

State Cosmetologists Deny License Bill ‘Racketeering’

Although asserting the association

BONE DRY LAW DOOMED, SAYS GOVJ’NUTT Repeal to Come. No Matter What Beer Bill's Fate, Asserts Executive. “'Beer bill, or no beer bill, the Wright bone dry law will be repealed at this session of the legislature.” This was the assurance given newspaper men today by Governor Paul V. McNutt. He explained that the administration beer control bill is being delayed purposely, pending action of congress. "Should this delay be too prolonged, the Wright law will be repealed without the beer control bill,” he asserted. Predicated on Congress Action "Our beer control measure was predicated upon passage of the Collier bill by congress.” McNutt explained. “But that bill has been changed completely in its approach to the problem. In the United States senate they have adopted the Beck view of modification.” This view is based upon the alcoholic content of beverages as being nonintoxicating “in fact,” and makes the measure different from the stated limit of 3’4 per cent beer, upon w'hich the Collier bill first was based. The theory of nonintoxicants “in fact,” was advanced by Representative James Beck of Pennsylvania. Death of the beer bill has been predicted freely, following its recommittment to the public morals committee in the house, after it was withdrawn by administration leaders from second reading in the house. Bill Just Sleeping The Governor assured wondering wets that the bill is not dead, but sleeping. He said that he is eager to have beer control in the state as soon as its sale is legalized by the national government. Only in this way can sale be controlled to prevent the return of saloons and give the state revenue, the Governor pointed out. He is desirous that this be accomplished without calling a special session of the legislature, he said. ALUMNI INVITE M"NUTT Governor May Be Guest of Honor at Luncheon in Chicago. Invitation has been extended to Governor Paul V. McNutt to be guest of honor at a luncheon to be given by Chicago alumni of Indiana university Feb. 11 in Chicago, The luncheon will be held in connection with the ninth annual Hoosier salon. President William Lowe Bryan and Dean Agnes E. Wells of the university wall speak at the luncheon.

stands morally behind provisions of the measure, which was postponed indefinitely in the house early this week under threats of exposing alleged graft. Urban L. Powell, association membership director, said indorsement never was given to any ulterior plan to push the bill through the general assembly. “Our association knew that certain forces were at work to secure money on promise of gaining passage of the bill, but indorsement was refused by us.” Powell said. Charge had been made on the floor of the house by Representative Fied S. Galloway (Dem., Indianapolis) that he “might be forced to show up racketeering" if the bill was recalled from indefinite postponement for further consideration. The bill was sponsored by Mrs. Frances Differ, president of the State Association of Cosmetologists and Hairdressers, with headquarters at Ft. Wayne, but had received support of the local association. Reports were current at the statehouse that unnamed racketeers threatened to introduce a competitive bill unless money was paid to secure passage of the first bill.
