PUBLIC WISH IS LEADERSHIP BY PRESIDENT

Confidence in Administration

Growing Reins Will be Given to Harding Without Opposition by Congress. SOLONS-DILLY-DALLY

BV MARK SII.I.1VA WASHINGTON, D. C, July 2 Practically every well Informed person in Washington now believe that President Harding will have to take toward congress the same attitude Roosevelt did. This will be repugnant both to his personal temperament and to his theory of government. Harding, when he was a senator felt as stronply as any other Republican senator did that Wilson's regime was dictatorial and that the presence of congress in the machinery of government had been minimized to an unfortunate degree. For Harding now to assume the same role of leadership that Wilscn and Roosevelt did will b a wrench 1o all his past beliefs. But the thing is bound to happen. When it does orae, Harding will find it much easier to take control and exercise it than either Roosevelt or Wilson did. Roosevelt and Wilson had to fight for their control and had to struggle constantly to keep it. Harding's control will be given to

him without opposition. If Harding had meant all along as he has not meant to seize the leadership of congress he could not have built up a better background. The strength of the cabinet he chose, and the appointments he has made in other fields have given the public confidence in hi? energy and in his wish to do things in a big way. Confidence Grows. If General Dawes follows out the plans he has announced of summoning to Washington 20 or 30 of the business leaders of the country to reorganize the government, that will be one more example of the kind of thing that gives the public confidence in the administration, as against congress. If there is dramatized a fight for the reorganization of the government in the interest cf economy and effi

ciency between 20 and 30 men who i

rome frdm various parts of the country and have tne confidence of their communities, and. on the other hand, j a congress resisting in order to hold j to old privileges, the public will side with Harding and Dawes and his volunteer assistants. Dawes is. an energetic person, with an understanding of crowd psychology and a genius for publicity. He will bo of great help to Harding. The Dawes appointment, coupled to a score of other things that Harding has done, put him in such a position that he will be the winner at the start in any effort that he makes for control of congress. No Strong Solons. Not only has Harding a good start toward prestige with the public. Further than that there are no strong characters either in the senate or in the lower houe to resist Harding's taking command. If there were strong characters in the senate or in the lower house ,the situation would not have arisen. Harding did not

want and does not want to take the leadership of congress. Both by word j

find by action he has disavowed n fgain and again. But it is just the lack cf leadership in congress. The lack of ability on the part of congress to get things done of its own initiative, that is going to make Harding take hold against his inclination. The record of congress is really pretty bad. It has been in session eleven weeks and the brevity of its accomplishments is deplorable. Nothing illustrates the situation better than the effort to achieve peace with Germany. The senate passed one resolution, the house passed another resolution. They both aimed at ihe same object and the only clash was over phraseology. A legislative body which could not solve so simple a matter in 11 weeks ought not to be surprised if it falls low in public respect. President Silent. For 11 weeks, also ihe lower house and the senate pulled and hauled ineffectuallv as to whether we should

STATE BOARD PROVES USEFUL IN HOLDING DOWN INDEBTEDNESS fBy Associated Press) INDIANAPOLIS, July 2 New debts by Indiana counties, townships and towns involving interest charges of almost $1,000 a day have been approved by the state tax board since it assumed control over local bond

issues three months ago. But without the state board's veto power, the

debts, with interest charges, would have been twice as much.

Records of the board show the ap

proval of bond3 aggregating almost

$6,000,000 and the denial of proposals for more than half that amount, with

others involving equally large expen

ditures pending for action before the

beard. Practically all of the new issues were to finance road and school

house construction, with the road

projects outnumbering the- schools

for 20 years and bear six per cent interest. , Restrict Bond Issues All proposals for bond issues, representing new public debts, originate with local officials whose approval of the expenditure is necessary before

Organization of Township Units

is Urged to Combat Chinch Bugs

Special Farm Meeting Called to Consider Methods of Fighting Pests, Recommends Drastic Action Randolph

Agent Discusses Methods Damage Reported

By FREDERICK TILTON ( Organization of each township as a unit to fight the chinch bug invasion was recommended by the assembled farmers and farm bureau directors at a meeting Friday evening in the county courthouse. The meeting was called by the farm bureau officials, and was open to all who were interested in eliminating the pest. Many who are not members of the farm bureau, never-the-less showed themselves grateful for its efforts and its support of the campaign. Early meetings called by township faimer association presidents to discuss the situation and plan he cam-, paign, were also recommended by the board of directors. The support of the county organization was promised but it was emphasized that, with the disaster so widespread, every one

would have to co-operate in the fight, rather than depending upon outside help altogether. Farmers who have not suffered from the chinch bug were urged to help their neighbors.

Situation Explained The state situation was

plained to the assembly, and a map displayed showing the wide distribution of the pest. A map of the county was also shown, indicating the places

where the bugs have been found and in what numbers. Neighboring counties all have the bugs within a few miles of the Wayne county line, while Randolph county is quite as badly infested as Wayne, according to County Agent Roscoe Fields. After a short statement of the situation, and explanation of the method of control which is being advocated, Roscoe Fields, agricultural agent of (Continued on Page Five)

local, but the last legislature abolished

this sort of "home rule," restoring to the state board last March its veto

power over security issues that had been lost by the board Jan. 1. The state board's policy is to go slow in permitting communities to issue new bonds, according to members of the board, who assert that as a general proposition new debts should not be incurred at present unless a real emergency requires the new project. Board members say they are loathe to pile up six per cent interest charges against local municipalities despite favorable action by the local officials. Insist on Local Hearing However, the board's policy is not to deny a bond issue without a hearing held in the interested community.

This practice obtains even in the ab

sence of a remonstrance to a proposed improvement, such a remonstrance being able to be brought by ten local taxpayers. Many of the denials have resulted from formal objections, others from the board's inquiry on its own motion, and likewise many bonds have been authorized in the face of objections. Only six school bond issues have been rejected by the state board, the largest being for $160,000 with the total amount of the six issues being $440,063. Twenty-six road projects have been denied which would have involved expenditures of $2,654,264. The largest of these expenditures was $470,000, with the others ranging from $13,200 to $450,000. Issues Total Over Million Thirty-five school bond issues ap-

products, not being specifically mentioned in the new bill, are included in the so-called "basket" paragraph which provides a duty of 35 per cent ad valorum for such articles and

wares composed wholly or in chief value of iron, steel, read, copper and other common metals, whether partly or wholly manufactured, and not definitely referred to in the measure. Gloves Protected Richmond's glove making industry is provided for in schedule 9 of the new bill. Gloves composed wholly or in chief value of cotton or other vegetable fibre, made of fabric knit on warp knitting machines, have a duty of 40 per cent ad valorum; gloves made of fabric knit on other than warp knitting machines, 33 1-3 per cent ad valorum; made of woven fabris. 23 per cent ad valorum. Under the same schedule duties ranging from 12 to 40 per cent ad valorum are, provided for cotton underwear. Schedule 11 establishes a sliding scale of duties for woolen knit

underwear, finished or unfinished. Knit garments made of wool or of

which wool is a component part, whether or not constituting chief value, and valued at not mere than $2.50 per pound, a duty of 30 cents per pound and in addition thereto, 20 per cent ad valorum; valued at more than $2.50 per pound, a duty of 36 cents per pound and, in addition thereto, 23 per cent ad valorum.

OLD FASHIONED 4TH WITH TALKS, PICNICS PLANNED IN INDIANA INDIANAPOLIS, July 2. Hoosier cities will celebrate the Fourth of July in the old, ' old fashioned way with oratory, picnics and parades, but no ear-splitting, house-burning fireworks.

In practically all cities there are ordinances which forbid the sale of explosive fireworks. The capital city has taken the lead in arranging for a safe and sane celebrationThe Marion county council of The American Legion has completed preparations for the day. The plans include a picnic, a parade, an Americanism pageant, some oratory and a dance. The former service men are planning, they say, to make the day'3 program emblematic of the ideals of their organization. Elaborate plans are being made at Columbus for the celebration there.

Sixty Sunday schools of the city and county are to unite in a pageant at the

city park. Old Time Games. Old time games and contests, pat

riotic speeches and a flag ceremony

are planned for the day at Elwod. A band concert and a display of fireworks in the evening will conclude the program. A community picnic will mark the celebration of the Fourth at Connersville. Each family will bring a basket and automobile transportation will bo provided for all to the picnic grounds. Fireworks will be discouraged in all cities. In Indianapolis all aerial fireworks have been forbidden. The board of safety decided that skyrockets, paper balloons and Roman candles are too dangerous to roofs. The board

has also decided to restrict fireworks

displays to persons who have obtained permits. The board's ruling will not interfere with the display" of fireworKs which The American Legion has planned as a part of the night program at the Fair Grounds. Numerous other cities in the state have arranged programs similar to the one arranged by the Legion in Indianapolis.

If congress takes favorable action upon the recommendation of Secretary of Treasury Mellon that the number of internal revenue collecting districts in the United States be increased, it is quite probable that Indiana will be given an additional district.

HOT WEATHER THOUGHTS. "Hot weather may be all right in its way, but there can be too much of a good thing," commented a gentleman of pronounced avoirdupois, wielding a "mean" handkerchief on a perspiring brow. "Just thing it over, my friend," and you'll be able to study out some advantages to this hot weather," replied the Chronic Optimist, trying to keep cool. "Just what advantage can you derive from a temperature that makes you feel like a glowing coal?" growled the obese gentleman. "Well, for one thing, it has caused a change in the restaurants' bill of fare," answered the Optimist. "It used to be that canned stuff and ready made eatables were all that you could order, short of entering into a special conference. But now you can actually get tomatoes, onions, radishes, and the like, without conducting special negotiations." "Sounds pretty far fetched to me," said the gentleman with the rapidly wilting collar. "That may be," answered the Chronic Optimist. "I don't mind the hot weather much anyway." And be ducked hurriedly into ti restaurant to order a dish of Chile con came.

Dempsey stood over the fallen French idol until the count was fin-

He opened up a cut under the Frenchman's eye and battered him so viciously around the head with vicious rights and lefts until Carpentier's face was swollen and bleeding. Carpentier fought gamely back at the champion, but he was oatclassed. Once he was half knocked and half pushed through the ropes, and most of the time was going away from the champion. Dempsey kept after nim: driving him to the corner whenever he had an opportunity. Carpentier was out only a few seconds. Police Clear Way Manager Descamps applied first aid as quickly as the dazed Frenchman dropped into his chair.. Police immediately climbed into the ring and made a path for the champion and Carpen

The crowd so quiet during the preliminaries, went wild when the fighters entered the ring. During the four rounds and at the knockout above all, sounded the shrieks of the women as blow follow, ed blow and blood was drawn. The sudden manner in which the main bout was staged with postponement of the last preliminary, caught the spectators by surprise. . - Cheer Frenchman ' There were cheers when the American champion was introduced, but" the crowd the arena around, cheered itself hoarse as Carpentier was hailed as champion of the old world.
