Halleck Record Praised

“We urge most emphatically a balanced budget, stable currency, and credit. “We wish to commend the record of Indiana's lone Republican Congressman, Charles Halleck, of Rensselaer. “We find little to commend in the administration of our state government under the leadership of Gov. McNutt. That statement is not based upon any narrow partisan viewpoint. We urge the voters, regardless of political affiliations, to examine the record from the time Mr. McNutt took office to the present moment. _“In the event of Republican success in Indiana next November, we can assure the citizens of Indiana an immediate termination of dictatorship, and the early restoration of Republican government. “We further pledge ourselves to the cleaning up of a liquor and beer racket that has flourished beyond all bounds of decency, under a system for which the present Democratic administration in Indiana is entirely responsible. : “We promise an effective and adequate relief program—relief to those in need, without any thought of politics. Both national and state administrations have exercised unreasonable and wholly inexcusable partisanship in the administration of relief funds, to which all taxpayers contribute. “No Democratic politician in the country can convince any one who has eyes with which to see that relief and Democratic politics are not merged.

Merit System “Debauched”

“We will leave to individual interests the publication of newspapers. We do not approve of the financing of such publications from funds provided by state employes, many of whom are coerced into contributing, nor do we approve, nor will we permit the financing of any political machine from any such fund. “The debauchery of the merit system in both nation and state under the Roosevelt and McNutt Administrations is most deplorable. Neither Federal nor state responsibility can be properly developed and extended when accompanied by a virtually unconditional spoils system. “Under no circumstances do we favor the shifting to the state of the responsibility of caring and providing for persons whose children or close relatives are well able to assume such responsibilty. “We condemn the present state administration's attitude toward labor. We insist that labor, shall have the right to organize without coercion from government or from any other source.

Tax Relief ‘Demanded

“Taxation is a business and an economic problem. It is not a partisan problem. Tax burdens and expenditures go hand in hand. Further relief from the burdens of taxation in this state can only be found when expenditures are reduced to the lowest point consistent with an efficient and economical administration of government, both state and local. We favor such legislation as will result in every class of properties being made to bear its just portion of the burdens of taxation; less liberality in exempting by law certain classes of properties from taxation and reasonable limitations upon the ability of taxing units to incur indebtedness. “We are opposed to the present gross income tax law.

“The Republican Party is ever grateful to the veterans of all wars. It has always been the policy of the Republican Party, when in power, to recognize the real worth of our veterans in piacing them in positions of honor and trust. . Adequate care must be given disabled veterans, and we pledge the enactment: of legislation to that end.

Council Assailed by League for Cut in Merit School Fund

Women Voters’ Group Protests Action Providing Only One Class for Police and Firemen.

The City Council's action in providing funds for one instead of four police and firemen merit schools was criticised today by directors of the Indianapolis League of Women Voters. Directors said the league had made a study of the police and firemen merit law, and had found that, while some sections were imperfect, the law was an advance over the old system.

Hoping the Council would reconsider its action, directors said the $1800 fund transfer originally asked by the Safety Board for four merit schools was a reasonable amount. The Council agreed last night to transfer $450 in Safety Board funds for use in operating one police school. The Council today had before it for action the trackless trolley contract recently signed by the Works Board and Indianapolis Railways, Inc, and a proposal for an upward revision in the amount the Indiana Bell Telephone Co. pays the city for placing its plant on city property. The street car and the phone business was in the hands of Public Works Committee, headed by Dr. Theodore Cable. Other members are Dr. Silas J. Carr, Ross H. Wallace, William A. Oren, and John A. Schumacher. The council passed appropriation ordinances and authorized the issuance and sale of $300,000 in refunding bonds with which to retire an issue of a similar amount sold in 1906.

One ordinance appropriated $10,000 from the unexpended and unappropriated balance of the 1935 general fund of the public parks budget for the purchase of oil and gravel to complete the Fall Creekpkwy Works Progress Administration project.

Amendment Passed

An amendment to the new taxicab ordinance that is to go ‘into effect tomorrow was passed under a suspension of the rules, providing for a- month’s delay in enforcement of the section requiring licenses and monthly inspection. Measures to repeal the present picketing ordinance and one calling for the restoration of reductions in salaries of members of the police and fire departments were held over until the next meeting. Dr. Cable indicated that he would call a public hearing the first of next week on the trolley contract. South Side civic groups oppose the agreement because it provides for the merging of the Lincoln and Minnesota lines. They object to the

merger because they say it provides for the operation of trackless trolleys over narrow streets and over two blocks of Pleasant Run-blvd.

The contract must be ratified by the Council and passed by the Public Service Commission before becoming effective. Dr. Cable said that the telephone company was operating here under an agreement made between the city and the old Central Union Co. in 1896, a time when vhere were only 2000 telephones in use here. It provides for an annual payment to the city of $6000. Dr. Cable pointed out that in 1435 there were 70,000 telephones in use and that in comparison to that in cities of similar size payment was small. He recommended that the city legal department and the Works Board confer with the utility on what he considered a better balanced contract. Ordinances providing for the sale of “park land” of the city, formerly the right-of-way of the T. H. I. & E. Traction Co. near Kessler-blvd, and the establishment of a bus zone on the east side of Illinois-st north of Georgia-st also were introduced. Three ordinances requesting the transfer of money were introduced. The Safety Board asked that $7127 be transforred from the Gamewell division to the fire department. The Health Board asked the transfer of $600 for administration purposes, and the engineering department requested $2000 for sewer materials.

DISTRIBUTION OF BONUS OUTLINED

Bonds to Be Delivered by Postmen on June 16, Official Says.

"Bonus bonds are to be distributed to World War veterans beginning Tuesday evening, June 16, according to Adolph Seidensticker, postmaster.

Regular mail carriers are to start deliveries at 5:30 p. m. June 16. Veterans must sign for the bonds. “The evening delivery was selected because recipients are more likely to be at home at that time, Mr. Seidensticker said. / In case the veteran is not known to the postman, he must be identified by some one whom the postman does know and the identifying witness also must sign for: the bonds. If the recipient can not be located during the evening delivery, the postman is to learn when he will be at home and make another delivery. Mr. Seidensticker said. The bonds are expected to arrive here from the Federal Reserve Bank in Chicago late on the afternoon of June 15.

BY HILLIER KRIEGHBAUM United Press Staff Corfespondent

WASHINGTON, June 2—Representative busmess organizations

believe that industry should be allowed to set its own house in order without congressional regulations, a survey showed today. Most business men also want the Supreme Court left free to decide how far Congress can go in trying to regulate working conditions, hours and wages. To date, the court has disapproved most of Congress’ attempts including the NRA and the Guffey Coal Act. Having tried the NRA code regulations during the early days of the Roosevelt administration, most groups of business men oppose any revival of government control. The United States Chamber of Commerce, which represents approximately 750,000 members, adopted a resolution at its annual meeting last April which said: “When government attempts by legislative means or executive fiat to impose upon business rules of conduct pertaining to such matters as wages, hours, conditions and terms of employment, or other restrictive measures interfering with the free play of economic forces, it retards both the material and spiritual progress of the nation.”

Opposed Guffey Act

The National Association of Manufacturers not only disapproved reviving the NRA in a modified form but opposed its application to special industries. Its members specifically “opposed the Guffey Coal Act, which set up a “little NRA” for the coal indus-

try and was recently declared un-

constitutional by the Supreme Court; the Ellenbogen Textile control bill, which would license mill operators in an effort to establish control, and the Black-Connery bill which would establish a basic 30-

The = National Association’ of Manufacturers went. still further and opposed the Social Security Act in a resolution adopted at its last annual congress. It contended that such legislation attempts “to force uniform treatment of old-age relief, unemployment distress and relief of certain other forms of distress through the entire nation, regardless of local circumstances and environment.” The act, the delegates agreed, endeavors by taxation to force states into the program “regardless of what may be their considered judgment as to the merits of its objectives.” : In its only quoted plank submitted to both parties, the American Liberty League joined both the Chamber ‘of Commerce and the National Association of Manufacturers in defending the rights of the Supreme Court to pass on the constitutional-

He stressed the advantage of

only if the youngster is able to keep the animal throughout its life. “It is unfortunate that milk standards throughout the country are not uniform,” Mr. Glover continued. “A

slight surplus has allowed dealers

Our association is directed to bringing about a fair and uniform standard, but the local milk committee must co-operate in bringing about the fair price for fluid milk.” Speaking on what members of the association feel is one of the more controversial of problems in the industry, Mr. Glover pointed out advantages of feeding grasses as ensilage rather than grain.

ity of legislation without congressional curb. The Liberty League’s plank which would bind all candidates said: “We pledge our party unequivocally to oppose any attempt to curtail or abolish any of the powers now exercised by the judicial branch of the government.” The Automobile Manufacturers Association in its only request asked Republicans to approve the Administration’s’ reciprocal trade agreement principles “so: that the issue could be taken out of politics and “our foreign markets more fully restored.” .

S. REGULA

TION OVER INDUSTRY

Seizes 5-4 Court Ruling as Weapon in Fight for Amendment.

(Continued from Page One)

Justice Harlan Stone, was regarde ed as of especial significance. Some saw in it an implied invitation for a constitutional amendment define ing Congress’ power over industry. Stone intimated that the majority decision, written by Justice Pierce Butler, was based upon “personal economic predilections.” Joining with Stone were Chief Justice Charles Evans Hughes, Justice Ben-

jamin Cardoza and Justice Louis Brandeis.

Sharply Worded Opinion Stone, in his sharply worded ouinion, said: “The Fourteenth Amendment has no more embedded in the Constitu= tion our preference for some pare ticular set of economic beliefs than it has adopted, in the name of lib~ erty, the system of theology which we may happen to approve.” : In another portion of his opinion

he said: “It is difficult to imagine any grounds, other than those of our own personal economic predilec= tions, for saying that the contract for employment is any the less an appropriate subject for legislation than are scores of others, in dealing with which the court has held that Legislatures may curtail individual . freedom in the public interest.” Hughes, in a separate opinion concurred in by the other dissent= ers, said: “I can find nothing in the Federal Constitution which denies to the state the power to protect. wome en from being exploited by overs reaching employers through the refusal of a fair wage as defined in the New York statute and ascertained in a reasonable manner by competent authority.”

Same as in 1923

Approximately the same lineup as prevailed in 1923, when the court outlawed Federal legislation govern= ing wages of women in the. District of Columbia, held a New York law attempting the same end likewise invalid. The decision seemed to controvert any claims that the court as at pres= ent constituted is more liberal than - that which held office more than a decade ago. It alse served in the minds of observers to line young Justice. Owen J. Roberts up definitely with the conservative group on the court. It was the first time that Roberts had split with his Chief Justice over the validity of a major state law, Roberts joined with Hughes to cone trol the court and uphold chain store tax legislation, the Minnesota mortgage moratorium and the New York milk law. Roberts’ alignment with the con servative members, Justice Butler, ‘George Sutherland, James C. Me=s Reynolds and Willis~ Vandevanter was regarded as indicating little chance that the Wagner labor dis=putes act would be sustained.
