BUSINESSLIKE CITY RULE URGED BY TECKEMEYER

consist of skimping on necessities, slashing salaries, throwing people out of work and allowing the city’s property to run down. Not at all Economy means paying exactly what a thing is worth and in not having any more of it than is needed to do the job at hand, whether it be labor or material. In fact, if true economies are put into effect there will be a more ample allowance for the really valuable employees who are entitled to it. “Various municipal improvements " must be taken care of, but very often, when taxes are at the . burdensome stage, as they are now, we can do without some of the improvements which might be classed as luxuries. “Our pressing problem today is to accomplish the necessary things, eliminate the unnecessary, and above all reduce our local tax rate. We can set the pace right here in our own city by instituting that policy and plan, let the other units of government do what they may.

* ‘Mustn’t Deviate From Goal’

“Other issues. will worm their way in; issues which breed discord and dissatisfaction among members . of our party. But they will be only _ side issues and we must not deviate from our goal—to cut out waste and all the frills in government for which the taxpayers are paying, and place the management of the city into the hands of businessmen who will operate the city as they operate their own business—on a pay-as-you-go, economically sound basis.” In announcing his support of Mr. Teckemeyer’s campaign, Mr. Huff said. : = “Mr. Teckemeyer has grown up with the civic and business life of Indianapolis and is sincerely interested in the establishment of plain, wholesome, honest and economical government. He has the courage to carry through on pledges that are made and can go into the fall campaign ds truly representative of the Republican electorate, which cannot help but be anxious to return to the simpler, less costly methods of municipal government.” Mr. Claycombe, in commenting on Mr. Wolff's candidacy, said: “With a united front the Repub- _ lican Party in Indianapolis is practically assured of victory in the fall electon. Republicans who have been out of the party will follow a man who can command public confidence.

Wolff Record Praised

“Herman C. Wolff is an able, sincere and courageous man. His own business success is proof of his - ability to give the city an efficient administration. His many unselfish undertakings for the public good are proof of his sincerity. His fine war record demonstrates his courageousness. “A lifelong member of the Tabernacle Presbyterian Church, Herman Wolff is known as a man of fine character and as one whose personal life is beyond reproach. “Further, he stands for an important thing at this time, and that is tax reduction. . He not only favors lowered taxes, but he unquestionably has the ability and knowledge of ~ business and public affairs to bring

(Story, Page Nine.)

about reduction without impairing the public service.” At ‘the East Side Democratic meeting last night, Mr. Ray asserted the Democratic organization leaders were getting “jittery.” He said they were not holding public meetings for their candidates because they were afraid “I would take the meetings over as I did two years ago.”

“when I was a candidate, I found the machine got so it refused to hold meetings because they said I took the meetings away from them, They even turned out the lights on me. I talked in the dark.” He repeated his promise to step aside before-the end of his term as Mayor if the city manager plan could be put into effect by that time. “The city manager plan is the only way to rid our city of political bosses on both sides,” he said. “The machine bosses’ see the handwriting on the wall. They are using every kind of a trick. They are telling precinct committeemen to pick the right kind of a clerk. Others who are friendly to me have

‘had their watchers taken from

them.” Mr. Ray said he was running. on his past record in public life. “That record,” he said, “speaks for itself. I do not need public office. I own several businesses, but

my present campaig nis to give the people a chance to free this city from machine rule.” He gharged that police are instructed to keep out of taverns and that these places then become safe hangouts for criminals. Others speaking at the meeting included Mr. Schlosser, Mr. Jacobs, Judge Joseph R. Williams of Superior Court 2; Mrs. Nellie M. Walker, candidate for Warren Township Trustee; Judge Clarence E. Weir of Superior Court 4, and L.

William Curry, candidate for judge |

of Superior Court 5. Mr. Schlosser said, in part: “Bear in mind that there is a vast difference between = ‘organization’ and ‘machine.’ The organization consists of ward chairmen and women, precinct committeemen and women, whose duty it is to help elect the ticket in the fall election. A machine consists of a handful of men who order the members to push their slate under threat of dismissal and loss of employment.” ‘1 do not condemn a candidate because he may be on the machine slate, but I do condemn the practice of bosses putting candidates under obligations to them by placing them ou a machine slate.” Mr. Jacobs said he did not approve of any man Or group engaged in liquor traffic being permitted to exercise political power.’ “Experience has taught us well,” he said, that such influence tends

toward undue influence over all departments of government. “The liquor traffic must be divorced from politics . . . or prohibition will be upon us again, with its attendant evils.” A candidates’ meeting will be held by the Warren Township Republican Club at 8 tonight in the Cumberland Community House. Eight More Precincts

Charles R. Ettinger, election supervisor, said the primary cost would run several thousand dollars higher than the 1934 primary. Among the reasons, he said, were the cost of printing Beech Grove ballots, not included in the 1934 cost; about $2000 for absent voter ballots and

eight more precincts. ; Another reason for extra ballot cost, he said, is that, under the present law, ballots must be rotated wherever there are two or more

years ago rotation was not required unless there were four candidates. Without the additional ballot cost, Mr. Ettinger said, the primary cost this year would run lower than in 1934. , He reported that 335 Democrats had filed for the 310. convention seats and 309 candidates for the 223 Republican convention posts. Mr. Ettinger said a majority of the antiorganiaztion Republicans in the race filed this week, following the death of George V. Coffin, the Republican Party leader. A Schlott-for-Sheriff Club was formed last night at a meeting of supporters of Jack Schlott (R). Charter members and those attending the meeting, it was reported, are William E. Reiley, J. W. Mount, F. J. Isler, W. T. Crofts, H. T. Grouns, George A. MacDonald, Russell Carel, Fred Lenz, Lee Rasmussen, H. R. VanDevender, Clarence R. Null, A. E. Grofi, Clay Ryman, Roscoe Sears, Edward A. Glende, John Banks, John G, Willis, Hoyt Moore, Charles Shrout, N. K. Ramsey, Walter Hook and Ralph E. Johnson. A nominating committee was named to select officers.

The funds for the purchases are to be appropriated from the Park Departmen fund, subject to the approval of the City Council. Mayor Boetcher said he would ask the Council to pass the acquisition

The bridge over the canal is to be built by the city at an estimated cost of $30,000. 2 Mayor Boetcher said that the entire project was for flood prevention and that the City, in constructing the boulevards and the bridge, was

taking advantage of the flood proj-

ect to save money for the City. Dirt dredged from the river channel will be used to build the foundation for the bridges and boulevards. Park Board members said it would take 10 dredges a year to dig the channel to the necessary
