In income brackets over the set limits, however, the service plan operates similar to the -indemnity plan. In that case, where the average fee is $100 and the doctors normal fee is $125, the insurance covers the $100 and the patient makes up the difference from his own pocket. Service Plan Favored
“The service plan appears to me to be the better proposal to offset socialized medicine,” Dr. Howard said. “Yet under such a plan it would be a comparatively easy step for the government to take it under federal control. “I'm afraid the doctors will object to the service plan for that reason. They also might like the indemnity features better in that all money is

EVANSVILLE, Oct. 4 (U. P)— Carl Gray, Petersburg attorney, said last night that the “Republican U. 8. senatorial nominee, Homer E. Capehart, pledged aid to the Pike county Democratic organization In 1933 while seeking jobs for his brother and nephew. Gray quoted from letters which he said Capehart wrote to him and to Ray Lamb, Petersburg. In the letter to Lamb; Gray sald, Capehait wrote that “all the Capeharts are good Democrats.” The attorney, who is eighth district, chairman of the SchrickerJackson Good Government club, sald that Capehart's letter to him

Just to meet the interest on this debt and the cost of government we shall need large federal revenues. But it is stupid to suppose that we can support our government by levying taxes upon a dwindling national income. “Our first aim must be to increase our national income by puts ting to work all of the productive resources of our country—industry, labor and agriculture.

be a road block in the way of progress. We want them to be! levied sensibly, with understanding for the human needs of people.” Dewey said he had proof that a representtaive of the treasury department - had discouraged high wages in one factory and had stated that “a man who works with his hands should not be paid $5000 a year.” He also charged that the intricate tax laws prevented persons from starting new business enterprises. “Of course we cheerfully pay high taxes to meet the cost of war,” he said. “But the taxes we are paying today are not just for war. They also go to pay for the waste and extravagance of the sprawling bureaucracy built up by the New Deal in these last 12 years.” Only immediate members of his family and a few close advisers, including State Superintendent of Banks Elliott Bell, were present when Dewey spoke. The governor will spend the next few days working on campaign speeches, the next of which will be delivered at Charleston, W. Va,

The State Medical association could form their own company; recognize, approve and co-operate with some single commercial company, or let any commercial companies wishing to handle the insurance do so. The committee favors either of the first two as being the most simple and easily controlled and fear the third if irresponsible or “wildcat” companies “sold” the pub-
