A REPUBLICAN OPINION
Jesse Eschbach formerly of Ligonier a republican was chief of the board of accounts for several years. He had been in the legislature 14 years and knew more; about the state finances than any men connected wit hthe present administration. His term expired in April 1923. In a speech at Terre Haute shortly before he retired from office he made some interesting statements.. : !
As the budget commissioner Eschbach recommended to the 1923 legislature the abolishment of five useless boards and commissions. None of them was abolished; most of them were given more funds.
He recommended total appropriations of $13,155,000 to that legislature, but added $8,000,000 more making $21,480,000. Al
He said one state official drawing a salary of $250 a month lived at the Claypool hotel while lobbying to keep the office from being abolished and sent the $lB9 bill to the state for board and room. o :
He said that it was a remarkable unfortunate fact that practically every institution board and commission for the year 1923 and 1924 asked over what they spent in 1921 and 1922 from 20 to 150 per cent. All of them he said could have been reduced from 15 to 40 per cent. . : . - The Historical commission created originally to take care of the state centennial celebration in 1916 was justcompleting- this work and its existence was supposed to end when the war. closed. Then it was continne. for two years more. .Eschbach re. commended that it be transferred to the history department of the State University with an $l,BOO clerk. In. stead of that they gave it an annual appropriation of $15,000 and quarters in an over crowded state house.— Gc¢ shen Democrat. s

He Scores G. O. P. for Support of Special Privilege and Predatory Wealth. Sixty thousand cheering Democrats, gathered for a monster rally and barbecue on the farm of Dr. A. W. Nelson, gubernatorial candidate, near Bunceton, Mo., heard John W. Davis, their Presidential nominee, tell in most vigorous fashion what' he thought of “gpecial privilege,” and ‘‘government by the rich,” and of the Republican party’'s subservience to the great pred‘atory industrial and financial corporations. Mr. Davis early in his speech threw away his manuseript and thereafter delivered a rapid series of telling blows at the Republican party that brought mighty shouts of approval from his heéarers. :
Coolidge, he insisted, must as‘s'nmé the responsibility of any error of the party he leads. ) -
After telling the wheat and hog growers how, in his judgment, Woodrow Wilson first tackled, and slew the special privilege dragon, Mr. Davis finally got around to Secretary Mellon’s aluminum interests and Mr. Mor< gan's steel corporation as illustrating how the special privilege crowd had again captured the government under Harding and Coolidge. e ‘When “Best Minds” Assembled.‘l “In 1920 a campaign was waged in this' country that gathered into one common flame every smoldering hate that affected the people of this nation,” sald Mr. Davis. “As a result, without great regard to any issue, the American people in overwhelming number, decldred for a change in their government. They certainly got a change! - “We were told that the first result of that change would be the . assembling in the city of Washington of all the best minds of the United States. . : :
“Any of you who happened to be standing at your local railway stations the: week or the month succeeding March 4, 1921, will remember in what large and enthusiastic numbers and by what hurrying trainlcads the ‘best minds” marched upon the natien’s capital. i :
“Once there, they made their local rallying point the ‘little green house on K street.
“Then there came on again, and almost immediately, the same hot contest for privilege and advantage that had driven this great party from power only twelve years before. _ “The result was written in a tariff law which the Republican newspapers of this country condemned on the next morning as an outragé and an imposition upon the consumers of this country. : o
Morgan’s Steel Corporation.
“But things of this sort must be dope with a reason. What-is 1t in this case? It used to be said when such things happened, that they were done to build up ‘lnfant industries.’ Well, since the coming of the steel corporation and ¥similar great organizations we do not hear much more of ‘infancy’; for this particular protected ‘infant’ produces single handed and alone as much steel as the German empire in the days of its might and majesty could put forth. And yet it must be protected. = “Then we-are told by no less a person than the President of the United States .on the 14th day of Ilast month, that the reason for this statute is a great impending avalanche of cheap made German goods that is about to overcome this country unless a dike is built against it. Example of Protection. “Let us have illustrations,
“Kitchenware. We were importing 2 per cent only of aluminum Kkitchenware. It is ®aid that there are some high in office who have large interests in aluminum manufacturing companées. This avalanche of 2 per cent of our annual consumption so alarmed the guardians of our liberties that they increased the duty on aluminum kitchenware three times over. ] '
“We have a great desire in this country ‘for a merchant marine. What does privilege suggest about it? That there’ shall be pald to private owners out of the taxpayers’' pockets a subsidy amounting in all to about $750,000,000 as our contribution to private owners of merchant ships. ' : “And I am glad to say that that proposition failed largely because of the votes of Jeffersonian Democrats who have the same ideas as I have on these subjects.” During a visit to Davis' western headquarters David Ladd Rockwell, manager of the McAdoo campaign, belittled LaFollette assertions of support from McAdoo Democrats. He said that attempts to create the impression of important defections from the party standard ‘had brought him several smiles. He said his own information concerning his primary state organizationg had not indicated any such situation and that his attempts to verify the, reports had failed, ; . “Since the convention,” he continued, “I have received letters from most of the states in which we put up active campaigns, and they indicate that Mr. McAdoo’s supporters are with the ticket. = Most of those letters have been from leaders, and they indicated that not only the leaders but the great body of pro-McAdoo men and women are supporting John W. Davis.” 3 e e ee e I e ' Photograph of the Children never ~ grow up - . Phone 103 Hieber Studio for an appointment. - 9btt Wanted to purchase eggs and poultry. Highest market price paid.
