MEMORIAL STATUE TO SUFFRAGE PlON tCEKS GIFT TO THE CAPITOL FROM WOMAN'S PARTY

INDIANA

: ; (Continued from Page One) candidate for the Republican senator

lal nomination in 1923 to succeed Senator Harry (S. New, and Senator New has announced that he will be a candidate for renomination. It is

understood that friends of Mr. Bever-

ldge Intend to put forth every effort to prevent the repeal of the primary

law.

Next February a convention Is to be

leld in Washington for the purpose

of ' organizing the "Business Ethics League of America, which proposes to conduct a vigorous campaign to secure

effective legislation against commer

cial bribery and tipping. It is stated

that substantial business concerns all

ever the country are interested in the

proposed organization. Claim tJ. O. P. Pledge.

v Promoters of the "Business Ethics

League of America" assert that the Republican party is pledged to enact

such legislation as the organization

proposes to advocarte by the following

plank in the Republican platform:

"There should be no persecution of

honest business, but to the extent that circumstances warrant, we pledge ourselves to strengthen the law against unfair practices." It is stated that Senator Albert B. Cummins, of Iowa, will sponsor the proposed legislation. Promoters of the Business Ethics Tongue are now issuing a monthly publication. The following appears in the December issue: "Congress must back up the decent Hement in American business," then follow a plea that- a bill prohibiting commercial bribery be passed before the close of the present session, adding: ;., v Set Out Reasons. "The baseball bribery scandal demands it. The shipping board disclosures demand it. The building trades corruption demands it. " The railroad ear graft-demands ft. - - The successful enforcement of prohibition demands it. And myriad other forms of bribery In virtlauly al ilndustries, trades and professions demand it. Revelations of business corruption, however, must riot be construed to mean that American business is fundamentally bad. The fact is -that the average of integrity is higher today in ,the United States than ever before. A specific statute againfet bribery in business, which the United States now lacks, will set up a standard and furnish means whereby the weak or the wilfully corrupt may be required to meet that standard."

American lives are represented. Several Canadian cities also had dele gates present.

In opening the convention Chairman Fred A. Howland of Montpelier, Vt., said the volume of life insurance in

force in American companies far ex

ceeds that in all other companies of all other countries. "It may fairly be claimed," he said "that sociologically, life insurance represents the greatest

contribution that the genius and enter

to the civilizing forces of the world

and its possibilities are limitless."

producers of Wayne and Preble coun

ties who are supplying Richmond with

milk, held at the county agent's office on ; Wednesday night, two tickets for directors were nominated. A total of 18 names were presentff9from which to select, and these will come before the meeting for action next Saturday evening. Whether the directory shall consist of five or nine members will be decided at that time.

distributor was paying $3.60 per hundred weight for 4 per cent milk, while all others are paying $3.C0 for milk as it runs, regardless of test. Should a milk station be finally installed here it will be a co-operative affair, all producers being stockholders in the plant. Milk farmers are requested to be out in force at the meeting to be held on Saturday evening, December 11.

Knapp and Oliver La Fuze, representatives, and Walter McConaha, senator, and copies will be sent to civic organizations over the state. The resolution is as follows: "Whereas, existing, Indiana laws which provide for the government of cities withlh. the state.have not proten adequate to insure efficient, scientific

and modern methods 'of city manage-

nient. and, Whereas, the lack of flexibility in the present statutes has made it possible for men who are mentally and morally unfit to be elected to and to retain high and administrative offices, and ' ' '.'Whereas, civic betterment is greatly handicapped if not made impossiblo when incompetence. and dishonesty or both prevail in city government, and, ."Whereas, in numerous instances in states where.the law permit, communities have been able to obtain efficient and honest administrations by reason of the eliminations of the party politicians, and of the unfit office seeker from city management, and the substitution of. men qualified for their work both ,by" ability and by experience, and; . "Whereas, in cities where politics has been divorced from city administration and where the commission or city manager form of government is adopted, greatly improved conditions now exist. ."Therefore, Be it resolved that the Young Men's Business Club of Richmond, Indiana, seek in every way pos-, Bible the enactment of a new law on this subjec by the state legislature-in its-lSSsession modeled after; the best etis'ting laws In' other" States."
