‘Maintain Gains of Past 8 Years,” Schricker Tells A..F. of L. Session.
By NOBLE REED
The vote of organized labor; al“Ways a major factor in election trends in Indiana, came under special scrutiny of Democratic leaders this week. Lieut. Gov. Henry F. Schricker, Democratic candidate for Governor,
who has been working rural -politics almost exclusively at county fairs the last two months, is outlining his labor policies. In a speech before the State Federation of Labor at Marion yesterday, he said:: “We want to join hands with labor to maintain the gains labor has made in the last eight years. 5
‘Don’t Believe in Abuses’
“We want to maintain these gains not at the expense of capital nor of employers, for all of us believe in the capitalistic system in this. country. ! “We-do not believe, however, in some of the abuses of capital which have been apparent by some employers through the years.” The candidate recommended settlement of all labor disputes in Indiana by the “peaceful}and sensible method of arbitratign.” He declared that under the administrations of the las§ two Democratic Governors “labgr has obtained its dream of half a century —the eight-hour day, the five-day week and collective bargaining.”
In Rushville Tonight
» Mr. Schricker is scheduled to invade ‘ Rushville, the headquarters city of the G. O. P. Presidential nominee, tonight. He said he will make a special appeal to the farmers in that vicinity. Presidential Candidate Willkie owns five farms near there.
Warning?
The Democrats say that if the Republicans keep on blasting at the Two Per Cent Club method of collecting campaign funds| they will pull an old ace out of the hole concerning some former G. O. P. campaign fund raising tactics. One Demaocratic leader said public records of the 1932 state campaign show that thousands of Re-

time paid as high as 15 per cent of their wages into the campaign war chest. = “If any one doubts that, we'll * produce .photostatic copies of thoke campaign contributions I. . . th only difference between the Republican collections and the Two Per| Cent Club is that the Republican collections were not organized,” one Democratic leader said

charge of the division.

Hillis Pledges Termination Of Machine Politics; Wiliis Raps Minton.
By LOWELL B. NUSSBAUM
Charges that the State House is under boss-rule and that the New Deal has preached discouragement for the youth of the nation were made by Republican candidates in
Glen R. Hillis, Republican Governor candidate, in an address at Columbia City, said that “there will be no Hillis political machine when I am Governor,” after charging that a few men now control the entire state government. : " Raymond E. Willis, candidate for | the U. S. Senate, in a ¢speech at! Valparaiso, accused the-New Deal of “painting a picture of discouragement for youth.” ““It is criminal to tell youth that opportunity is dead,” he declared. “Opportunity has been drugged the last’ seven years and progress has been stopped. We've got to get a| new driver who knows the roads] better.” - Takes Rap at Minton
"Taking a slap at U. S. Senator Sherman Minton, who is seeking reelection, Mr. Willis said: “I welcome the opportunity to oppose Senator Minton because he has been a parrot-like broadcaster of distasteful phases of the New Deal. Perhaps the reason he has failed to correctly - represent the sentiments of Hoosiers who elected him is that he has been too busy repeating the lines apparently written for him by some ghost writer.” My. Hillis, following up his opening campaign speech at Kokomo, promised to ‘steer the State Government clear of powerful factional rule that finally “leads to rty disaster and usually to political corruption.” : “In government of the people the party boss is just as wrong in principle as dictatorship in government,” Mr. Hillis said.
Tucker Hits New Deal
“No one can justly say the Republican Party in Indiana is boss-| controlled and I see no desire on the part of our party leaders to promote factional rule.” ; Speaking on the same platform | with Mr. Willis at Valparaiso last night, Secretary of State James M. Tucker said “Indiana’s little New Deal has broken faith with the people by its centralization of governmental functions not only in the hands of one man but by making laws through the added board and bureaus.” Mr.’ Tucker declared the state Reorganization Act which gave. the Governor wider patronage powers, “set up a dictatorship in Indiana which, in the wrong hands, could bring about a condition in Indiana that would rival some of the totali-

last night, before a large and enthusiastic audience, he set forth a four-point program of business recovery which would ‘turn the country around.” While visiting airplane factories in the Los Angeles suburbs yesterday, he pledged himself to’ create the post of Secretary of Aviation in his Cabinet if he is elected. To the 70,000 persons in Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum and a nation-wide radio service last night, Mr. Willkie said his four-point program would check a trend toward “a completely regulated economy” without depriving labor of progressive legislation. “If you people want a completely regulated economy, if you want a totalitarian system of some ‘sort, don’t vote for me,” he said. “I'm headed in the opposite direction and in order to turn this country around and get started in that direction, I propose to take four steps. I want now to be very specific? “l. The rules under which business is conducted must be clear and must be stable. > “2. Government policies affecting business should be consistent. “3. Government competition with business must be kept within welldefined limits. It must not stap the flow of capital into new productive enterprise. “4, Business must be given a chance to make a profit.” He said it. would not be possible
necessary large éxpenditures for na-
expanding old-age pensions. But he pledged “common sense” economy and advocated appointment of a commission of experts to study tax needs of Federal, state and local governments and to draw a revised tax policy. Applauded Two Minutes
Mr. Willkie was greeted with applause that lasted for a full two minutes when his car drove into the huge stadium. The crowd chanted in football fashion “We Want Willkie, We Nant Willkie” and the band played “Back Home Again in Indiana.” Applause interrupted his speech frequently. The Republican candidate was introduced, by white-haired Joseph Scott, former Republican national committeeman and veteran leader of the party in Southern California. From the coliseum, Mr. Willkie went to Hollywood Bowl, where he was introduced to another crowd by film star Robert Montgomery under | glaring green and red flood lights. He told this crowd. which included movie notables, that the question is whether democracy can be made effective enough to withstand “thes challenge of totalitarian powers.” His welcome, to Los Angeles proper was so boisterous that police lines were averrun and a 100-piece band was scattered. He mounted the steps of the City Hall amid such an ovation he could no more than pass. a formal greeting to city officials. Crowds were so dense along the streets his caravan was two hours behind schedule. Mr. Willkie's major talk of the day will be at Sacramento shortly after 5:25 p. m. (7:25 p. m. Indianapolis Time), when he will address

type of political thinking could easily lead to Government by selfish seekers for power and riches and glory. “For the great danger is that once the Government falls into the hands of a few elite, curtailment or even abolition of free elections might he adopted as the means of Keeping them in power.” He fired a protest at suggestions relief workers might be denied the franchise, a proposal he said was recently advanced by “some well meaning people.” “As long as periodic free elections, survive, no set of people can premanently control Government. In the maintenance of free eleetions rests complete and enduring safety for our form of Government. “No dictator in history has dared run the gauntlet of a really free election.”
Freedom Emphasized
Through the speech there seemed to be a precautionary word to business to cherish the most. complete freedom of the electoral process. Mr. Roosevelt said the German people despaired of their democracy 10 years ago and listened to “a new cult called Naziism.”

SEIBERT MINIMIZES "ESTIMATES ON FEES

the board today brought a, denial from Mr. | Seibert that the Clerk receives an estimated $5000 to $10,000 from the sale'of marriage license certificates over and above the regular $2 fee which is turned into the County General Fund. He said it is running about $2000 a year now. He explained that the $2 marriage license fee does not entitle the prospective bride and groom to a record which they can keep as a matter of personal preference. The clerk, he said, sells them this record separately as a certificate and keeps the money. The certificates cost from $1 to $3 above the regular $2 fee. : Mr. Seibert admitted, in response to: questioning by Beard Member George Kuhn, that it wouldn't cost much to make a carbon copy of the clerk’s own record and give this to the couple. The board members, who have been threatening to eliminate from the budget the salaries of some of
answer was no. The board is reported to be ready to approve the county budget for next year without change, except for. possible cuts in the .offices of officials legally entitled to pocket fees. Besides the Clerk, these are the Treasurer, Sheriff and Recorder.
Salary Increase Scanned
All that’s holding ‘up the school budget without change is: the question of an $81,000 increase in teachers salaries. Beard members were reported to be divided on the advisability of allowing this increase. The total schqols budget for the next .school year is $87,000 under
Elimination of the salary increases would permit a 1-cent reduction in the School City’s proposed 96-cent tax rate, which is the. same as the current rate.
