HOUSTON ASKS
AID FOR FARMS
Secretary of Treasury Ad
dresses American Bankers
on Financial Topics.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 20.—Five of the
country’s most Important financial prob
lems were discussed by Secretary of the
Treasury Houston before the convention
,of the American Bankers’ Association
here today.
He outlined the problems and recom
mended ways for their solution.
Houston first took up the farmers’ plea
for financial aid in marketing their crops.
He asked the bankers to help the farm
ers all they could.
He warned the farmers that world-wide
price recession is on and that the Gov
ernment could not halt it if it wished.
Discussing Liberty bonds, the Secre
tary declared against all steps of refund
ing the bonds in securities bearing higher
interest.
The bonds, he said, soon would return
to par without sr.ch measures.
The public debt, Houston said, has
been reduced more than $2,500,000,000. and
the floating debt $1,600,000,000 since
August, 1919.
Federal taxes should be revised, the
secretary said, bnt warned that the total
they are to bring in cannot be cut
greatly. ,
‘‘A heavy fog has settled over the finan
cial field,” said Secretary Houston.
“We still confront highly abnormal
problems.
“What we need is more patriotism and
less partisanship.
"The first Impulse of many who are
searching for the way out is turn to
the government and especially' to the
treasury.
•‘Producers whose production cannot
be marketed satisfactorily and whose
prices are falling, are demanding that
the treasury intervene.
“They ask that it either deposit money
in certain sections or that the activities
of the war finance corporation be re
sumed.”
MUNICIPAL COAL
YARDS MAY COME
(Continued From Page One.)
mitted and shown before the commis
sion in their hearings.
A number of former retail coal deal
ers. according to Mr. Eschbach, have of
. sered to assist the commission in the
operation of municipal markets.
The issuance of new orders was not
considered in the conference this morn
ing, as municipal markets have prece
dence over other questions for the good
of the public.
Charging that there are too many retail
coal dealers in Indiana and that their
business is conducted Insufficiently and in
an extravagant manner, Mr. Esch
bach has sent a letter to the L. E. Bunt
ing Company of Warsaw in reply to an
offer of their yards and working force to
the commission for a municipal market j
upon conditional t^rms.
The conditions of the offer included the |
operation of the business by the commis
sion as now conducted by the Bunting
Coal Company upon the margin of $2.25
ordered by thp commission.
Mr. Eschbach’s letter says:
“Your letter of Oct. 10 has been re
ferred to me. There is one very excel
lent reason why the special coal and food
commission could not accept your offer
with the conditions attached.
“You make it one of the conditions of j
your offer that we shall conduct the busl- I
ness in what we feel is the same un- i
economical and unbusinesslike method it
has been conducted as evidenced by cost
sheets which you produced for the com- j
mission.
“Our expert accountant, Mr. O'Neal,
one of the best commercial accountants
_Jn the State, after the second examina
tion of your books, submitted to the com
mission his report in which he places
your handling cost at $1,489.
“The commission is convinced, after al- j
most a week of hearings devoted largely !
to the retail coal merchants, of several '
matters.
50 PER CENT TOO
MANY YARDS.
“1. That there are at least 50 per cent
too many retail coal dealrrs in Indiana.
“2. That approximately 50 per cent of j
the retail coal business is conducted in
an inefficient and uneconomical manner. !
“3. That the so-called handling charges
among different dealers in the same city,
under practically the same conditions,
vary as much as $1.50 per ton, all of
which the consumer must bear.
“4. Coal in most of the cities of Indiana
Is sold at such a figure as to return a fair
profit for the most inefficient and poorly
managed business.
“5. That an association In many of ;
the cities employs accountants, who ex- ]
amine the books of ail retailers, and from
the results of surfT examinations, establish
a price which represents to such an asso
ciation an average sales charge, which 1
average sales charge is communicated to
each membatr of the association.
“6. One retailer testified that he mnst
keep his price high in order to compete
with the other retail coal dealers (evi
dently meaning, so he would not compete
with them), (this dealer was making a
net profit of $1.21 pey tda on each ton of
v oal sold).
“The above are only a few of the eon- !
elusions to which any fair business man ;
must arrive after a study of this evl- ;
tience.
“The commission does not wish any
retail coal dealer in Indiana who eon- '
duets his business in an economical and j
efficient manner to sell coal without a |
fair and reasonable return on his invest- j
aent. (
“We suggest that you make your offer
of your coal yards to the mayor and
common council of the city of Warsaw,
hince tAir letter of Oct. 16 was addressed
to said officials, and unless especially
called upon by the municipal authori
ties. the details of the local arrange
ment will be left to the officials of such
municipalities as wish to cooperate in
this matter.
LEWIS ADVOCATES
FEDERAL OPERATION
YIRDEX, 111., Oct 20.—Operation of
fr-.e country’s coal mines by the Govern

for coal famines and rn'De strikes
throughout the country in an address
here today by former Senator James
Hamilton Lewis, Democratic candidate
for Governor. -
"I would place the coal mines under
the Government,” Lewis said.
“I would have the mines operated by
the miners through contract arrangement
with their Government, by which their i
and their hours would be arranged !
by the Government.
i “I would have the Government, either j
through the State or supervising agents,
contract with the miner in cooperative
bargaining for the output of the mines
in different localities and the shipment
of coal to ’such points as necessities of
the country demanded.”
A standing board to settle controver- i
pies between miners and mine owners was i
advocated - by Senator Lewis.

“Having received no answer from the
Columbia Club, it is assumed that tba
answer of your club Is the answer ot
the Columbia Club, also.
“After considering your letter, we reach
the only conclusion possible, viz., that

“Your avoidance of this opportunity for

LITTLE THEATER
OPENS SEASON
I Large Crowd Sees First 1920
Performance.
A large and enthusiastic audiedee
greeted this season’s first performance of
the Little Theater Society which was
held in the Masonic Temple last night.
Three one-act plays composed the bill,
“The Proposal,” by Anton Tchfkoff; ‘‘ln
Hospital,” by Thomas H. Dickinson, and
“Behind a Watteau Picture,” by Robert
Emmons Rogers.
The first two might be called merely
dramatic. Incidents, and the last was a
charming fantasy, dainty as n Dresden
nosegay, redolent with romance and gal
lantry of the ‘*patb and powder day-c”
In the opening farce. Miss Sapata Lau
ter in the role of the Russian girl, did a
clever bit of acting, her hysterics being
shrlekingiy realistic.
Paul lake gave an excellent portrayal
of the emotional, nefwous and at times,
enraged suitor, and H. L. Earnest, the
father, played the part of the "much
whiskered” Irrasctble parent with pleas
ing ease. f
Decidedly attractive were the brilliant
costumes of the father and daughter lu
this little drama.
Tile second production was possibly a
little too much a part of everyday life
to be particularly pleasing, bjit It offered
an excellent opportunity for character
work.
Robert N. Brewer took the lead as the
husband waiting for the result of a se
rious operation being performed on his
wife, and presented the character of the,
overwrought super-morbid male Jn a con
vincing fashion.
Mrs. Eugene Fife appeared to an ad
vantage as the delicate, courageous wife
Elizabeth Bogert Hchofield. ns the
: nurse; Robert E. Tracey, the surgeon,
| and Ralph F. Thompson, an interne, gave
: finished Interpretations of their respective
I lines.
' Reantiful scenic effects, riotous colors,
| fascinating, gorgeous huert costumes
I marked the final offering, “Behind a Wat
| tenu picture,"
>tlss Angelina Rates, as a Watteau
Marquise, picturesque In powdered curls
[ and rich blue satin gown, and Miss Flor
ence Farmna, as the dainty, love-inspir
ing, heartless Colomblne. dancing lightly
through life, played the two female roles
in charming fashion
Fred Heckman as the melancholy Pier
rot, -he leading male role, gave an artis
tic reading of his part and Paul Inks and
H L. Earnest played parts of the Wat
teau gallants with skilful grace.
I’letUH Kruyer, the fat Pierrot, and
Estal L. Taylor, as Harlequin, played
with fanciful abandon.
Bjorn Wlngert, Laurence Neidllnger,
Ralph Ballou, Otto Wickstrom, Thomas
A. Gallagher, Richard Young, Glenn
Campbell, Wells Hampton, Albert Hesa
ner and Maoeo Taylor gave splendid sup
port in their various minor roles.
iheidental music, indicative of the at
mosphere of the romance, was effectively
played by Miss Mildred Knight.
Mr. Sotnnes announces thn next hill will
be presented Nov. 19 and will consist ot
three one-act plays.
