LOW POWER FOR RURAL AREAS IN MIDWEST URGED PWA Committee Recommends SI 00.000.000 Be Be Spent on Rivers. By United Press WASHINGTON. Dee. 26. Expenditure of $100,000,000 to supply low cast electricity to millions of Mid-Western farm families was recommended today by the Mississippi committee of the Public Works Administration. The plan was recommended to Harold L Ickes, Secretary of the Interior, by the committee which consists of nine nationally-known engineers. They also suggested an outlay of $1,000,000,000 during the J 0 years to develop the MidWestern waterways system and the 31 states it drains. Mr. Ickes was known to favor financing projects to supply light and power to country sections. Rural electrification was believed to have held a prominent place in his recommendations to President Roosevelt for the 1933 Federal construction program. , Held Not C ompetitive The move, it was pointed out, would be in line with the Governments recently initiated plan to bring down private utility rates by aiding construction of municipal or co-operative projects. The board stated specifically, however, that the program would not compete with private capital. The committee estimated between 1,000,000 and 3.000.000 farm homes now without electricity could receive current from dams and plants that might be built on the Mississippi, Missouri. Ohio. Tennessee, Arkansas, Red and Colorado rivers, and said: “An allotment of $100,000,000 to build independent self-liquidating rural electric projects would be safe and socially justifiable. Such an enterprise would not compete with private capital, since it would serve territory not now served or likely to be served in any other way. Warning Is Sounded “There is every reason to expect that low rates which w’ould be possible would result in a great expansion in the rural use of electricity and a consequent increase in rural living standards.” the report said. Recommendations made by the board after a year's study were handed to Mr. Ickes with the warning that failure to develop the waterways system would result in economic and social chaas. If present-day trends of flood and soil erosion continue, the board said, “we should be compelled to predict increasingly large stretches of once fertile lands stripped of their life-giving humus, rivers breaking forth in floods of increasing severity as the denuded slopes permitted an ever-swifter run-off. industry and agriculture becoming even more precarious, the life of the people on the land becoming more and more disorganized, and a steady increase in farm tenancy and of economic dependency.

Opens Vast Field WASHINGTON. Dec. 26 Anew vista on the wide field of rural electrification in Indiana, through the use of steam plants using cheap and easily accessible coal, was provided j today in the Mississippi valley com- 1 mittee report. There should be 150.000 new rural j customers, using 3,000.000 kilowatts j of new power in the Ohio River Basin by 1955. the report states. It shows that, on 181.570 Indiana farms, there are but 30.335 houses lighted by electricity, and of this number only 18.569 are being served by electric power lines. Others use their own farm plant unit for electric production. Thus, the number purchasing power is but 10.2 per cent. Rosy Future Painted ••Increased sales of electric refrigerators, ranges and water heaters, and possibilities apparently existing in air conditioning, would seem to indicate average use of 1222 kilowatt hours a domestic customer within 20 years.” the report states. On those farms using electricity in Indiana, the yearly consumption is now only 613 kilowatt hours, the statistical tables in the report disclose. But the 181.570 Hoosier farms have 154,556 automobiles, 110.330 telephones, and 64.252 radios. Consequently, the rural electrification field is still unexploited, the committee pointstout. While it lists 13 flood control projects for Ohio River tributaries, none are in Indiana. Nor are any water power sites specified for the state. Here is what the committee found in regard to power: ‘ Power development in the Ohio Basin will usually require regulation of the flow by storage. Eeonomie Conditions Factor • Numerous problems must be considered in a proper determination of the type of generating plant to be installed. In the final analysis, decision as to type of plant is based on an economic condition. ••Generally speaking, the type which can deliver a kilowatt hour in the market at lowest cost is the one selected. “Apparently but few. if any, of listed water-power projects in this area can meet the generating cost of modern steam-power plants i4 mills or less> else more than 15 per cent of the present installed generating capacity would be in hydro plants.” SIOO TAKEN FROM COAT Motor Company Sales Manager Robbed of Firm's Gift.

ST. LAWRENCE TREATY FUES GIRD FOR FRAY Opponents of Seaway Pact Confident of Second Victory. (This is the eighth of several stories on the Congressional program). By 1 nitrd Prrn* WASHINGTON, Dec. 26.—Opponents of the St. Lawrence seaway treaty with Canada believe they can hold their lines in the Senate and defeat ratification a second time. Mr. Roosevelt submitted the treaty to the 73rd Congress on Jan. 10, 1933. The Senate Foreign Relations committee reported it favorably in March. On March 14 the Senate refused to ratify. The vote was 46 for ratification and 42 against, 12 votes short of the twothirds majority by which the Senate must advise and consent to treaty making. Copeland, Wagoner Opposed New England, the Mid-Atlantic area and South Atlantic states defeated the treaty. Senators Royal S. Copeland and Robert F. Wagner, New York Democrats, voted against the Administration on the agreement with Canada for power and navigation development of the St. Lawrence River. The State Department has undertaken modification of the proposed treaty in an effort to find a bisis of river envelopment which will command a two-thirds Senate majority. Meantime, there are reports from Canada that Dominion sentiment is swinging against the treaty. A reqgnt analysis of the Marcfi Senate vote shows treaty opponents to be in a relatively strong position as they organize to defeat ratification again. This vote analysis explained: Some Senators Must Change “If all the Senators of the 73rd Congress who will be in the 74th Congress should vote on the treaty as they did last March, the alignment of returning members of the Senate would be: “For ratification, 41; against ratification, 34. “Even though all 13 new Senators should vote in the affirmative, the alignment would then be only 54 yeas to 34 nays—five short of the two-thirds necessary for ratification. It is obvious that the President’s hopes for ratification depend on a change of position among some of the Senators who did not vote for ratification in the last Congress.” Taft Treaty Recalled Five of the Senate newcomers are from the East and must be assumed to be hostile to the St. Lawrence treaty. Editorial research reports recently recalled the history of the reciprocal trade treaty negotiated by the Taft Administration with Canada. The reciprocal treaty fight continued for months in the United States Senate. Finally, it was ratified. But in the meantime the Canadian government with which that treaty had been negotiated was defeated in a Dominion general election and the new Canadian government refused to ratify.

Indiana in Brief

By United Prrss r SANTA CLAUS. Dec. 26.—The rush and excitement of handlir,g the Yuletide mail ended. Santa Claus once more becomes a sleepy southern Indiana village today. Residents of the village celebrated Christmas Eve with a merry partv in the village church. it marked the end of another busy season, during which nearly half a million letters and postal cards were handled. Happiest man at the party was Postmaster James F. 'Jim) Martin, who supervises the handling of Santa Claus mail annually. The amount of mail almost set a record for Santa Claus, and the childish letters from throughout the world indicated that poverty is not so prevalent this year, he said. Located in the hills of Spencer County, Santa Claus consists of a general store, a restaurant and recreation room combined, a church, a grade school and 15 homes. The general store is operated by Mr. Martin in conjunction with the postoffice. Santa Claus received its name late in the nineteenth century, when postal authorities asked that it be changed from Santa Fe to avoid confusion with another Indiana town.

DEC. 26, 1934

SUICIDE DEATHS ON DECREASE IN MARIONCOUNTY Local Situation Similar to General Trend in Nation. A marked decrease in -the number of suicides in Marion County is indicated by statistics in the office of Dr. William E. Arbuckle, County Coroner. No official compilation has been made for the present year, but attaches asserted the falling off in the number of suicidal deaths is so large no tabulation is necessary to show that conditions here correspond with the results of a nationwide survey by statisticians of life insurance companies. In 1929. Dr. Arbuckle's figuresshow there were 56 suicidal deaths in the county. In 1930, with the depression well advanced, suicides increased to 105. The years 1931 and 1932, Dr. Arbuckle said, saw a diminishing toll from suicide. In both years 92 suicides were registered. Homicides also are decreasing, Dr. Arbuckle’s reports indicate. An increase in suicidal deaths was indicated in 1933, the Maroin Coun'y reports show. In that year 103 suicides were registered. The record for this year also is expected to show a reduction in the alcoholism death rate, according to Miss Minnie F. Sarter, Coroner's statistician. In 19£2 there were eleven deaths recorded from alcoholism. The total increased one in 1933. A preponderance of suicides is bv the gunshot and poison routes. Os the 92 suicides in 1932. 21 were by gunshot and 34 by poison. In 1933 gunshot suicides increased to 32 and poisoning diminished to 27. According to Miss Sarter. mast women who end their lives '•hoose poison. Records .show that few Marion County women suicides shoot themselves. Although determined to “end it all.” women avoid the facial or bodily disfigurement inflicted by gunshot deaths. Automobile accidents continue to increase, in 1932 there were 114 in the county. The total increased in 1933. Gunshot homicides continued to lead the list or methods employed by murderers. In 1932 there w'ere 33 such murders.
