"HICKMAN FLAYS |

omy's TAXI LAW

Undesirable Drivers Can’ "Be Controlled; He Says, Under Ordinance. City Controller: Roy E. “Hickman

today charged that efféctive control of taxicab drivers under a 1931 city

* ordinance “will be impossible” be-

cause it gives his office the job of selling licenses but does not provide for investigation and continued supervision of those licensed. , “We're not a police force,” Mr. Hickman asserted. “Our office is - just not equipped properly to handle the job.” The controller said that “anyone could sell licenses but the intent of this city is pot to collect license fees but to establish a check on undesirable - drivers by denying them __ licenses.”

Found old ‘Ordinance

Existence of the ordinance was discovered by the legal department when it was drafting a new law to curb the current wave of riders’ complaints against cab drivers. Requests for a new law came from Mrs. Maude Hobson, city. weights and measures director, who has been warring against overcharging and other alleged malpractices of drjvers, After discovery foithe ordipance plans for a new law were dropped and Mayor Tyndall directed Mr. Hickmran to establish machinery to issue the licenses.

years old tomorrow. Abandoning their plans for formal ceremonies, officials presented Governor Gates and the genera] assembly with a statement of appreciation for the constant support given the university. Governor Johnathan Jennings and the state legislature approved the original enactment establishing the institution on Jan. 20, 1820. This action was taken when: the then state capitol was at Corydon. The formal presentation for the university was made by President Herman B. Wells to Governor Gates. Lt. Gov. Richard T. James as president of the senate and Speaker Hobart Creighton. Each member of the general assembly received a copy of the statement which was read and placed in the journals of each house. It said: “One hundred and twenty-five years ago today, the governor and the general assembly of the state of Indiana established Indiana university and thereby fulfilled the provisions of the state's first constitution, that: “ ‘It shall be the duty “of the general ‘assembly, as soon as circum stances will permit, to provide by law for a general system of education ascending in a regular gradation from township schools to a state university, wherein tuition shall be gratis, and equally open to all’ “In this mahner did the sturdy fathers of our state, even before providing for the physical well-be-ing of fhe people, establish liberal learning. There were no roads through the forests and swamplands. The wilderness still held sway; wild animals ravaged the budding settlements. Savages harassed the families who were trying to carve a home within that wilderness. “Thus, In times of utmost hardship, began the first state university west of the mountains. Through the years other governors and other legislators have fostered the work early begun, so that today Indiana university is one of the great centers of learning and research. To all these men this formal action expresses deep appreciation for intelligent planning and constant support. o“

Congresswoman Acts as Speaker

ecutive agencies.

Police Gain Victory in-Suit To Enjoin Sidewalk Photogs

Police won a round in their fight against sidewalk photographers today when Judge Walter Pritchard in superior court, room 4, refused to enjoin the city from interfering with the activities of the Keystone Movie Flash Co. Ruling on the firm's request for an injuncition against the city, Judge Pritchard disrupted the contention of Samuel Shoen, owner of the picture-taking company, that the state veterans’ law permitted him to peddle without a license. “The state law giving a veteran

a license to peddle without cost is not consistent with the city’s right to regulate and to prohibit peddling within the mile square,” the fudge ruled. . Shoen named as defendants Tint Tyndall, members of the safety board and Chief of Police Beeker. Refusal to issue an injuncition against the city ‘automatically dissolved a temporary restraining order prohibiting ‘police to arrest operators for the company except, on warrants.

SCOPE FOR HEALTH

DETROIT, Jan. 19 (U. P.).—Dr. Thomas Parran, surgeon-general of

ice, last night advocated that every possible force in the nation “be di-

rected toward a national health

program to include means of financing costs of medical care for every! individual.” Dr.” Parran, speaking at dedication ceremonies of the“United Automobile Workers (C. 1. 0O.), health institute, said such a program should be maintained “through tax-sup-ported program, health insurance, or a combination of both.” The union's new quarters occupy a former home of the late Edsel B. Ford. Dr. Parran said it was an “institution dedicated to the health of American workers, a milestone in the coming age of labor and public health.” Dr. Parran also prescribed for the nation’s health program that tax {funds be available to build hospitals and health centers after the ar; taxes be tiseq to train and expand medical personnel; public health departments be encouraged throughout the country; both public and|
