—Let's Go Fishing— SPORTSMEN TO CAMPAIGN FOR CLEAN STREAMS State Club Will Open War on Pollution as Part of Program. Members of the United Sportsman of Indiana. Inc . will meet Friday at 8 p m to complete plans to combat stream and lake pollution. At a preliminary meeting held at th< Washington Monday it was decided that the second meeting, with all state officers present, would be the way to launch a s'ate-wide campaign to correct this evil that is de- j stroymg som-> of the slate’s most historic streams. The United Sportsmen organization was formed to improve hunt- i ing and fishing conditions for the sportsman who enjoys a day in the open under conditions as nature intended Officers and members are going to ba'tle to th° last ditch to carry their ideals to victory. Every who ever has sjx n' the dav along any of our stream or lakes can do their part to help this cause bv enrolling now The dues for one year nr - * 50 cents, and the full amount will be used to better conditions, the officers devoting their time and efforts, without pay. Members of the Tndiannpolis Casting Club who attended the meet at ’he jkx>l at Coliegp avenue and Fall Creek Sunday were treated to some of the greatest fly easting ever seen lorallv. bv Captain Emil De I,use who a\eraged lio feet to take first place bv a wide margin in the distance event. His casts were 107 109 and 114 feet. F.d Nelson. who finished second, had an average of ninety feet De Luse also tied for top honors in the five and three-quarter ounce fly rod accuracy contest with 1,. Hurst. .7 Spear was next and Ed Nelson third The five-eighths ounce plug event was won bv Ben Bass with J. Sjiear, second, and H BrafTord, third. Earl Simon, who pilots a P Ar F. engine from Indianapolis to Springfield while on the job. and hunts bass when resting, enjoyed himself on Big Walnut cre*k the other dav. his six bass teaching the stringer in less than two hours. Simon says they were hitting so fast that he did not have time to light his pipe. Henry Moesrh paid a flying visit to the conservation depart ment from the state hatchery at Wawasee. Recently this hatrhrry planted 1.500 large mouth bass, in grades 4. 5 and fi They are taking their time and allowing the fish to reach these sizes before planting .lohn Stewart never will forget Ins battle with an etghteen-ineh ring fish that weighed three and onehalf pounds. Stewart also enjoyed taking the roek bass and goggle eye. while spatting. Fd Miller of the Peoples Outfitting Company and his wife enjoyed Sunday at Millers favorite spot on Sugar creek, and the result was five small mouth bass that averaged two pounds. Miller caught three of them on live minnows, and his wife the other two with night crawlers. Walter Cordon from Engine House 6 gave us another call and told that he stil had room for two anglers to make the trip to northern Minnesota. Gordon plans to leave Atic. 15 and return Sept. 1 Any angler interested in a vacation where the big ones strike, should get in touch with Gordon, at Rilev 3329. Eagle creek again produced a big one. this time a five and one-half pound large mouth The lucky angler was Earl Conger. 2907 Clifton street. This is the second big one that Conger snagged this season. Jack Waite never will be careless again. Waite was fly casting m one of the gravel pits close in. The line he was using had a break but Waite figured it was o. k to use. ns the fish were not rising to his lure. but. as usual, a big one took him on for a bnttle. the bass winning when the line broke at the tie A few days later. Waite returned for some more fun. and the first thing he found was a dead bass that would run about five and one-half pounds, with his fly lodged in its throat Garry and Lee Winders are going to spend Tuesday and Wednesday at their favorite spot. Owen Park, on Mill creek Garry Winders easily is the champ m this stream, his record for the last five years being near the three hundred mark, and they were all keepers. Charlie Ridlcn always wanted to tie into one of those kind that he could not handle, even as you and I. His ambition was realized Sunday with a bass that reminds one of a snag taking his lure When Ridlen realized that the snag really was “grandpa bass. ‘ it was too late, and the big boy escaped to give some other angler a thrill.

Politician’s Canning Plant Pours Refuse in Muscatatuck; Game Fish Die, Swimmers Menaced, Say Nearby Residents

Ivan C. Morgan at Last Is Working to Help in Conservation Plans. (Continued From Page One) its winding route, W. H Christie, acclaims that several cattle he owned died and in his belief their death resulted from drinking from the ditch. Swimming in Stream Perilous Opinion diverges on whether the river pollution is more serious when tomatoes are canned at the company's p’ant at Austin or when hominy and lye wastes enter. Swimming within eight or ten miles of the cannery is distinctly a danger. The ditch alone shows colon bacilli. sewage waste, to the extent of 1000 000 at the mouth of the ditch where it empties into the river. One mile below the ditch entry to the river the colon bacilli count, made bv the state laboratory at the request of The Indianapolis Times, shows 100.000 with a total of all bacteria at 200.000. Presence of lye in the wastes from the ditch might be indicated from the state analysis, at the request of The Times, that showed the ditch water to have 460 parts alkalinity a million. Lye is alkaline in nature. Fish Move Downstream Fermentation of other wastes of the ditch results not onlv in unpleasant odors but possih'e injury to fish life. Game fish of the Muscatatuck have gone downstream and are supplanted by scavenger vari<' ies. Drop by the home of the aged squire of Little York. A V. Criswell. and hell spin, by the hour, tales of the days of good fishing and swimming in the river. "All you had to do was to go and get them. Bass, redhorse and big buffalo. Many's the time I've swam as a boy in the Muscatatuck They don t swim there now," vouches the squire. The river has been the scene of other raids besides that on its fish and. oddly enough, again the name of Morgan figures. On July 10. 1863, the vicinity near the stream was raided by the confederate general. Morgan. Draft Plans to End Pollution Morgans men took 500 horses, levied supplies from the surrounding farmers and forded the river with their stolen mounts. The river and its bottomlands is legendary in the tales of long ago. An Indian massacre, known as the Pigeon Roost massacre, occurred in Washington county in 1812. But that's in the long ago and where the historical commission is interested in the massacre of old settlers, the conservation department of 1933 is interested in the massacre of fish in streams of Indiana because of pollution.

The conservation department, working with Morgan, is drafting plans for ending the pollution of his cannery on the stream. Screens Won't End Trouble It has his promise to place, within the next two months, a screen to halt the more solid, elements of the cannery's wastes from entering the Muscatatuck. But the screening of the solids in the wastes will not suffice to clarify the stream Other canrerv wastes, acids, lyes and fermentation —must be treated before the river once called ‘ Clear river" will be restored to its rightful name. If plans go through Morgan will be the first large canner in Indiana to end years of destruction of game fish on state streams. The conservation department has hopes that his cannery' at Austin will be the first in the state to install a complete disposal plant for treating its wastes. Other Wavs of Angling "They have the "heap big fish" in Indiana's stream pollution on the hook and willing to jump into the frying pan providing— The "heap big fish” doesn't wiggle away. If he does then there are other days of fishing and othpr ways of landing "heap big fish.” i (Next—A “No-Mean” City and Its Pollution.) SUIT TO BLOCK TRUCK TAX IS THREATENED Operators to Fight Imposing of Levy, Effective Today. Injunction suit to prevent collection of the $1 for each 100 pounds as a truck tax is expected to be filed in a superior court late today. The tax became effective today, and is for collection through the automobile license bureau. Each trucker having made payment is given a metal disk receipt. Suit will be launched djy a group of truckmen who claim that the law discriminates unjustly against the trucking interests. Frank Finney, chief of the license bureau, said that only half of the tax, or one-half cent a hundred, would be collected now, since it beI comes efective at the mid-year. It is up to the state police to enforce collection, he said. FALL VICTIM IMPROVES Millard Middaugh. 78, in Fair Condition at Hospital.

A Tw IY BRUCE CAJTQN CAPITALISM as we have known it has been nothing less than a modified feudalism. For the ordinary citizen, it has contained all of the evils of unrestricted competition and of monopoly as well, with few of the advantages of either. So says Robert Segal in "Triopoly—or Class War?” a stimulating and readable little discussion of the new trend in finance and industry. Man. says Mr. Segal, started out with nothing at all and worked up. by dint of infinite sacrifices, to a condition of widespread poverty, j Because the forces of credit and j machinery are essentially anarchic, he has got little genuine benefit | from either. Yet the solution, as Mr. Segal sees it. neither is difficult nor far away. It lies. Mr. Segal believes, in an adaptation of the industrial franchise—the franchise that so 1 far is granted only to public utiliI ties which have to be monopolistic. Mr. Segal suggests that all industry be franchised, with control vested, in a three-way manner, in capital, labor and consumer. Stabilization of business, abolition of unemployment, security of invssti ment and the maintenance of de--1 cent wage scales will, he says, be I the logical result. What makes his plan especially interesting is the fact that it looks remarkably like ' the program that now is being attempted under the industrial control bill. If Mr. Segal is right, this bill ought to be the most significant and profitable thing we have ever attempted. Published by Duffleld & Green, j this book sells at $2.

Plans for reducing com and hog production, recommended in a twoday conference at Chicago last week by a committee representing ten mid-west states, were being studied today by officials of the Indiana Farm Bureau Under the plan, farmers In Indiana and other corn belt states would benefit from higher rorn and hog prices, if the plan should be adopted by the agricultural adjustment administration The recommendation called for removal from the American market of 500.000.000 pounds of pork and pork products between now and Jan. 1. with a total reduction of 2.000.000.000 pounds of pork products in the next twelve months Suggested means of reducing supplies included sale or donation of pork to relief agencies under agreement not to reduce normal purchases. making low grade hogs and hog products into tankage, benefiit payments to farmers for marketing light pigs and piggy sows, increasing exports, levying a substantial processing tar on all hogs weighing more than 235 pounds Losses incurred in disposal of surplus pork would be paid from a processing tax on pork and competing products. The committee specified that any price improvement to the farmer not be pyramided by the processor and distributor in the price to the consumer.
