LARGE EXPENDITURES DENOUNCED IN OPENING SPEECH OF BEVERIDGE
WE MUST GET A DOLLAR'S WORTH FOR EVERY DOLLAR SPENT TO REDUCE TAXES, CRAWFORD
FORT WAYNE, Ind.. March 10. Extravagant primary campaign expenditures were denounced 'by Albert J. Beveridge, candidate for the Republican nomination for United States senator, in a Twelfth district rally at Fort Wayne Thursday night. Exhibiting a number of advertisements which appeared in the papers throughout the state as part of Senator New's publicity program, Mr. Beverldge declared: "Surely no such paid advertising is needed by any man who has served
with conspicouous merit during six of
the most fateful years of our history!
Unless it has a sinister purpose, it is all nonsense not wickedly meant, but
deplorable in its result; and. undeniably it puts our party at serious disadvantage in the battle we must wage with the Democrats next fall. In the end. dollar popularity is always as hollow as it is expensive." Mr. Beveridge said it is common report that large sums of money are being spent by the New organisation. He pointed out that the salary of a senator for six years is $45,000 and in. quired how can a .candidate Justify himself to the electors in November if he spends more than' that amount in the primary campaign. r Tndiana should lead the way for placing a limit on campaign expenditures, he declared, and for that reason be
proposed a conference, with - Senator New in a friendly spirit, to agree upon
a limit. Urges Rates Reduced. "Railroad rates must come down
he said. "Nobody can prosper when
Uansportation charges eat up the prof
its of the shippers and sometimes more. Tax laws that still paralyze trade and madden the whole people, must be thoroughly overhauled, and basically changed. Business cannot revive fo long as leech legislation nucks the life blood out of the veins of business." After declaring that the right of electing persons to office belongs to the people, Mr. Beveridge said: "Voters should take into account only one thing, who is the best person for the place during the particular term for which the officer is to be elected. It to the people's business that is involved, and nothing else; it is the Kood of the people that must be attended to, and nothing else." Mr. Beveridge pledged his support to President Harding, but said that on matters of principle he would be guided by his convictions. He then reviewed the legislation in which he was interested during his former term. "It has been put out that the president would use his Influence in this contest to force the nomination of one candidate because of personal friendship." said Mr. Beveridge. "That
is a silly falsehood, and President Harding has himself denied that puerile aspersion on his party integrity. But so long and industriously has that canard been used as propaganda, that the president's declaration of neutrality in this contest should be published broadcast in every newspaper and especially in every Republican newspaper in the state, and then republished until every voter knows the truth."
(Special to the Palladium) WEBSTER, Ind., March 10 "We must conduct public business on the same principles as our own business, get a dollar's worth for every dollar spent, and watch inefficiency and extravagance as jealously as on our own farms if we are to reduce taxes," said Earl Crawford of Milton, state highway commissioner, speaking at a "Good Roads" meeting of the Webster township farmers association Thursday night. Mr. Crawford told in detail how these principles had been applied by his commission to the state road work. Only one mile of state highway con
struction was contracted for last year on account of war time prices for
labor, road machinery and materials.
Money was spent only on existing roads with the consequence that, ?ince much more work can be done for the same money this year, the state will have a greater road mileage with no increases in taxes. Strict impartiality in letting contracts is the policy of the commission also, said the speaker. No local contractors are favored because of being Indiana taxpayers, if they are unabia to do the work cheaper than firms
outside the state. "If we pay extra prof it3 to such firms, it is we instead of they who are paying their taxes," said Crawford. "If Indiana firms can not support themselves in fair competition, I would prefer that any support the public gives' them should come through our charitable institutions we maintain for that purpose." Cause of Soft Roads. Inadequate drainage, frequently due to side ditches being stopped up by
culverts leading into fields, is a common cause of soft roads, water beins dammed up in side ditches and soaking into the roadbed. Most Indiana roads stand up under Mia traffic, said Crawford, except for
a few isolated spots where mud holes form. Where this is true, it Is plain that some local condition is at fault rather than the construction of the road.
Richmond Man to
Manage Elevator
Adequate supervision, and a closer attention by the public to road affairs, as well as other public matters; care to see that common sense methods are followed in draining wet spots; working roads at proper times, rather than, under the old system, whenever there was nothing else to do; care in selecting candidates for township trustees and county commissioners, and more assistance given to them after
election, were some of the measures
suggested by the speaker. Blame for
poor roads in many cases, he said,
rests squarely with local conditions in
which the citizens themselves are at
fault. Federal Aid
Only 40 per cent of federal aid road money may be spent on primary, or in- J ter-state roads, said Mr. Crawford. With primary roads amounting to about 5,000 miles, and 65.000 miles of secondary roads, funds available will amount to three millions on primary roads, one million of federal and state money on secondary roads, and the same for paving on primary roads The federal plans call for spending
as large a part of the money as possible on interstate highways but the commission is making every effort to secure as large a part as it can for improving farm to market roads. The speaker warned against further efforts to secure extravagant improvement of highways while the side roads are neglected. "No road is good unless it has been properly built," concluded Mr. Crawford, "and then it must be properly
kept up. Elect good officials and help them by a continued and close attention to road matters." Announcement of the boys and girls' club plans of the - association, which call for an appropriation of J50 for a trip to Lafayette by local club prize winners, was made by. Horatio King.

Important to All Women Readers of This Paper . Thousands upon thousands of women have kidney or bladder trouble and never suspect it. Women's complaints often prove to be nothing else but kidney trouble, or the result of kidney or bladder disease. If the kidneys are not in a healthy condition, they may cause the other organs to become diseased. You may suffer pain in the back, headache and loss of ambition. Poor health makes you nervous, ir
ritable, and maybe despondent; it
makes any one so.
But hundreds of women claim that
Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, by restoring health to the kidneys, proved to be just the remedy needed to overcome such conditions. Many send for a sample bottle to see what Swamp-Root, the great kidney, liver and bladder medicine, will do for them. By enclosing ten cents to Dr. Kilmer & Co., Binghampton, N. Y., you may receive a sample size bottle by parcel post. You can purchase medium and large size bottles at all drug stores. Advertisement.
