COUNTY COUNCILS CM 1110 DEFENSE BODIES Stansbury Says it Is Legal to Appropriate Money for Patriotic Purposes.

INDIANAPOLIS, IND., April 19 Els Stansbury. attorney-general, in answer to e question of II. E. Foley, chairman of the state council of defense, has ruled that county councils may make reasonable appropriations direct for the county councils of defense to be used for war purposes. Gilbert H. Hendren, chief of the state board of accounts, in pursuance of the ruling-, has prepared a classification of counties according to wealth and population and has specified tho amounts that would be regarded reasonable appropriations for each of the classes. The attorney-general in his rifling, recites the fact that the national council of defense was created by act of congress August 10. 1917. "This law." says the attorney-general, "is intended to be broad and comprehensive and to enable the people, through organization, to meet the needs of the war." Should Be Liberal. The attorney-general says we must understand that a state of war now exists so that "in construing laws, with a view to prosecuting the war, courts nor individuals should be captious, but should be liberal in finding a way, under the law, to aid the. war." Recent court opinions are quoted in favor of a liberal construction for war purposes. The attorney-general then says: "I believe this is the true and patriotic theory of construing laws in time of war. "We find, under the federal statute and the Indiana laws, abundant authority to eay that there is law authorizing the board of commissioners to ask for such an appropriation as mentioned by you, and the county councils have authority not in conflict with our supreme court decisions to make such an appropriation as they may deem reasonably necessary to assist the county councils of defense in procuring from the people the doing of their part in this great conflict. Question of Pay. "You also requested my opinion as to whether bills should be presented to the commissioners for all of the items for which such money would be expended. "It would not be a reasonable construction to say that for each paper of pins or box of tacks purchased in that work a bill should be filed with the board of commissioners. I think it could be much more effectually used by making! en appropriation direct to the council, end tt would not be Improper for the board of commissioners to require an accounting at some future date by the county council of defense."

FOOD DIRECTORS MUST HELP LOAN

Emphasizing the present paramount importance of the Third Liberty Loan drive, Herbert Hoover, federal food administrator, has addressed a telegram to Dr. Harry E. Barnard, federal food administrator for Indiana, calling his attention to the duty of the entire food organization to support in every possible manner the distribution of the bonds. The Hoover telegram follows: "Dr. Harry E. Barnard, "Food Administrator, "Indianapolis, Ind. "We are reminding you that the United States Food Administration organizations, both national and state, are committed to do their utmost to co-operate with the Liberty Loan forces. "While In no way relaxing your food activities we rely upon your exerting every effort to Insure the success of the Liberty Loan. "HERBERT HOOVER."
