Dog Tortures
at University
May Be Ended
Discussion of a method of preventing
the medical school of Indiana University
from obtaining dogs from the city dog
pound with the intention of torturing
them under the guise of vivisection for
educational purposes was started today
among dog lovers as a result of a de
mand made at the dog pound for dogs
by a representative of the college.
It was agreed that if the college
pressed its demand for dogs and the
board of works permitted them to receive
dogs, legal action would be taken to stop
the vivisection.
For many months the Indianapolis Hu
mane Society has been disposing of the
unclaimed dogs at the pound.
They are first held five days for re
covery by their owners.
If not claimed within that time they
are turned over to the society which
has been finding homes for them and
destroying those whose condltlion made
destruction necessary.
As n result none of the dogs has
been available for the use of the med
ical sollege, a condition that has evoked
considerable complaint from the directors
of the college.
A demand for dogs made at the pound
today was met with the statement that
there were no dogs available for vivisec
tion purposes, and It is now proposed
either to pprevent any dogs ever being
available or for humane reason to stop
the vivisection work at the college by
prosecutions.

SAYSGOODRICH
IDEAS MUST GO
Spaan, Democratic Candidate
for Congress, Deals Raps.
' "x ■—
The mismanagement of the Goodrich
administration and the Marlon County
Republican ring must be done away
with, Henry N. Spaan, Democratic can
didate for Congress, declared in a speech
at the plant of the Midwest Engine Com
pany today.
“The State of Indiana has been cursed
by ‘Goodrichlsm’ —that means inefficiency
and extravagance In office; It means high
taxes and repudiation of the Supreme
Court,” Mr. Spaan said.
“The tax board created by Goodrich
as a political machine outraged the com
mon sense of the people of Indiana by
imposing the horizontal tax increase; the
Supreme Court —a Republican Supreme
Court—held that these increases were Il
legal. Goodrich called together hie 'rub
ber stamp’ Legislature and instructed it
to legalizo-what ; lie Supreme Court said
was Illegal—this was promptly done, and
the result is that the groat Republican
party now- stands for tne repudiation of
the Supreme Court. What a pitiful po
sition for a party to be placed in by the
incompetence puerile personal ambitions
of Goodrich and bis satellites.
“I now call your attention to the
Marion County Republican political ring
that has its party by the throat, and
has outraged all sense of decency in the
management of public affairs; by rea
son of this mismangeinent your taxes
have Increased by leaps ,nnd bounds.
First tho valuation of your property was
raised all over tho country—in some in
stances to more than It would sell for.
, “Next the rate of taxation has been
Increased until you will have to pay
! from one-third to one-half more taxes
| next year than you did this. The only
i way to cure this wild extravagance and
; constant increase of your burdens is to
| rote the whole bunch out of office. That
i is the American remedy for public out
j rages like the tax outrage In this State
| and scanty.
I "See to that you and your family are
! properly registered, and then in S'ovem
tier you can help rid this community
j of these men who have brought shame
j upon their party and this country and
State.
| "The Repupbllcan ring must go—the
independent and forward-looking men
j and women will see to It that they go.
and when they are gone there will be
nothing but rejoicing amon gibe tnx-
I ridden and burden bearers of our splen
did State and county.”
