CITY CAB FARE MAY BE RAISED BY ORDINANCES Rates Doubled in Proposed Acts to Be Voted On by Council. Taxicab rides will be in the luxury class and cab patrons will be forced to pay rates approximately double those paid now for trips longer than one mile, if city councilmen act favorably Monday night on two pending ordinances. The ordinances, known as General Ordinances No. 4 and 5. would bar flat rates, such as charged by mast companies at present, requiring that all rates be on a mileage basis. As an example, under the proposed ordinances, taxi firms would be required to charge 35 cents for the trip from Washington and Illinois streets to Twentieth and Illinois streets, instead of 15 cents as charged at present by some firms. Where one company now charges 45 cents for the trip from Meridian and Washington to Thirtyeighth street and College avenue, the proposed ordinance would require a charge of $1.35. Drivers Plan Fight Drivers of several companies, fearing the new rates will cause a sharp decrease of patronage, are reported to be planning vigorous opposition when the measures are up for passage at city council meeting Monday night. General Ordinance No. 4 makes it unlawful for taxicab lines to charge, within city limits, a fare of less than the following schedule: First mile, 15 cents; each twothirds mile additions, 10 cents; for each three minutes of accumulated waiting time, 10 cents. Waiting Time Costly The other ordinance provides for providing badges to licensed taxi drivers, fixes license fees at 25 cents each, and then amends Section 21. General Ordinance No. 28. of 1931. This amendment prohibits charging more "than rates posted on each cab, defines waits for which charges may be made, provides receipts must be given passengers, upon demand. and bans a flat or zone rate basis for taxicab fares. “Waiting time.’’ it provides, “shall include the time when the taxicab is not in motion, beginning with arrival at the place to which it has been called, or the time consumed while standing at the direction of the passenger, but no charge shall be made for time lost for inefficiency of the taxicab or the operator, or time consumed by premature response to a call.” BISHOP WILL ADDRESS FELLOWSHIP SERVICE Northwood Christian Church to Meet Tonight. “The Cup of Fellowship” will be the subject of an address by Bishop H. H. Fout of the United Brethren church, at the Northwood Christian church fellowship service tonight. Dr. Tolbert F. Reavis, Butler university. will be chairman; the Rev. R. Melvyn Thompson, pastor, will lead devotions, and Mrs. Carolyn Ayres Turner will direct music. GREATEST TOREADOR REACHES NEW YORK En Route to Mexico and $20,000 Purse for Bull Fight.

COLDS Go Thru 3 Stages —and They’re Far Easier Relieved in the First than in the Second or Third! A cold ordinarily goes through 3 stages; the Dry Stage, the first 24 hours; the Watery Secretion Stage, from 1 to 3 days, and the Mucous Secretion Stage. The first stage is the time to “nail” a cold. Grove’s Laxative Bromo Quinine is the treatment for colds. It is expressly a cold remedy and not a preparation good for naif a dozen other things as well. It is direct and internal which is what a cold, an Internal infection, requires. It is also complete—it does the four things necessary. It opens the bowels. combats the cold germs and fever in the system, relieves the headache and grippv feeling and tones and fortifies the entire system. Anything less than that is inviting trouble. Get Grove's Laxative Bromo Quinine at any druggist. soc and 50c. Ask for it by the full name and refuse a substitute. —Advertisement.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

PERMANENT NRA! ADVOCATED BY I SAMUEL WYER Act Is History’s Greatest Social Experiment, Says Engineer. “Russian Communists have taught the whole world the need of na-tion-wide industrial planning and in America the planning done under NRA cedes must be made permanent.” This was the conclusion drawn from the new deal by Samuel S. Wyer, Columbus, 0., consulting engineer, in his final talk at the Butler forum last night. He dealt in detail with provisions of the President Roosevelt program and of fifteen major points; approved heartily of but two—the national industrial recovery act and co-ordination of railroads. The entire setup he termed “the

greatest social experiment of all history." “The new deal was brought into being in 100 days with 109,000 words of new law covering all social activities and never before was such a tremendous task undertaken anywhere,” Mr. Wyer asserted. Need for this was brought about by the panic following the stock market crash of October, 1929. which, he said, “marked the end of an epoch.” Mu'-h of the new program is “political ballyhoo" based on the American habit of "slogan thinking,” Mr. | Wyer asserted.

Repeal was cited as a case in j point in which, much more was j claimed in the matter of recovery ; than the facts warranted. “In pre-prohibition days the enj tire beer and liquor business eon--1 sumed but .7 of 1 per cent of the ! total grain production.” the speaker \ declared. “It could absorb but 1.1 |of the workers and meet but 3.7 I per cent of current governmental I costs. Therefore, the great claims I made for repeal on economic sac- ! tors were a gross misconception.” The Reconstruction Finance Cor- | poration he termed “Socialist bank- : mg” and charged that it had | extended $50,000,000 unjust aid to I life insurance companies. Clasing of building and loans until they reduced interest rates would

have been a better solution than the ! home loan act. he said. Only “joker” in NRA is the fact j that it is not deqlared to be a permanent policy and it should be made so by constitutional amendment so that it can not be challenged. Mr. Wyer advised. He condemned General Johnson's “cracking down” on little Blue Eagle violators "when he should devote his time to the big problems.” Republican Clubs to Meet Sixteench and Seventeenth Wards Republican Club will meet at 8 Saturday night at the home of James Eastus, 251 South Arsenal avenue. | for a business session and card party.
