I am an Indianapolis pninter and am Mikin’ to the citizens of Indianapolis. Now. folks -you take a fellow like Sen ator Harding, when he says he’ll do a thing, well. I take for granted he’ll do It. Now, didn't the Senator say he was go ing to turn hls back on this here vital question, the League of Nations? Yes, he did. But now he's kind of backed ofit of that nov, since he has seen that there was so durn many people for it t Now. the reason there Is so durn manv peonle for it, is this: They got to arguing this question around all the public places, and those against it. seeing they didn't know anything about it. they went and looked It up.

Indianapolis. WHERE RANK AND FILE IS. Editor The Times: Propres*lves, the rank and file, who seek nothing for themselves, and who fear no reprisals of a political sort, are not for Harding and Watson for #the very good reason that Harding and Watson are reaction ary and not in any sense progressive. There is nothing personal in the hos tility of rank and file progressives against reactionaries. Their differences are fundamental, and are based on prin ciple. When It comes to voting against Harding and Watson, the record Is the thing. Harding and Watson make no bones of their reactionary policy. The progressive rank and file makes no bone® of its utter refusal to accept Handing and Watson. Putting aside 1912, Watson's floor lead ership of the wrecking crew, Harding’s denunciation of Roosevelt, Watson's treachery to Wood—there’s the record. By their official acts progressives must classify such men as Harding and Wat son. It used to be “stiindpatism." then It was "Cannonism,” and now it is "nor malcy.” Harding and Watson are types of that period when ten years’ fighting were needed to pass a progressive law They ask us to go back with them to Hannalsm. No wonder the progressive rank and file declines. On the general trend of things Hard ing and Watson are wrong, for they be- * (Advertisement) r"'* Vote for Taggart and Economy in Government TAGGART’S NUMBER ON THE MACHINE IS 16 B. FIND IT IN THE BOOTH THOMAS TAGGART, serving in 1916 in the United States Sen ate, voted and fought for economy, for business methods and lower taxes. Senator Taggart earned nation-wide praise when he coura geously stood for the taxpayer and against waste and unjustifiable “pork'’ raids on the treasury—the raids that tend to increase taxes. While supporting constructive legislation, and while urging Federal aid for good foads, Senator Taggart insisted that the tax payers’ money be u invested” where it would bring returns, and he denounced useless public building schemes and successfully op- * posed *‘pork barrel” items in the rivers and harbors bill, point ing out $20,000,000 of waste and helping block that extravagance. Plain Business Sense Thomas Taggart applied in the Senate the budget principle he had used with remarkable sueeess in minor public offices and in private business. In every fair test the taxpayers have voted approval of Thomas Taggart’s record in office. lie was twice elected Auditor of Marion County, and three times Mayor of Indianapolis, refusing a fourth nomination. In 1916 Mr. Taggart’s economy fight in the Senate made him a formidable • candidate. The change of two votes to a precinct that year would have al tered the result that year. Thomas Taggart is running on his record. Praised By Press Os that record the Indianapolis News said editorially Aug. 14, 1916 : It gives the News great pleasure to commend in the most cordial way the main features of the admirable speech delivered by Senator Thomas Taggart in the Senate Saturday . . . “Economy in itself Is a great revenue” —there Is a doctrine that those charged with the management of the nation’s business would do well to lay to heart. Mr. Taggart’s warning should be heeded. The Indiana Senator spoke well and he spoke the truth.

S. Q. Where was the first canal In the United States built? G. H. F. A. The first canal completed In the United States was one at South Hauley, Mass., which was built around a rapids In the Connecticut River.

These were names given to political parties in Sweden early in the eighteenth long to the low wage, low living standard lockout era of the “Invisible govern ment,” the hired lobbyist and legislation by committee chairmen armed will bludgeons with which to kill all progres sive bills. On the League of Nations Harding and Watson are wrong, for they have gone on by-ways seeking to pander to voters of alien minds. So It Is that the Progressive rank and file refuses to follow reaction or trickery into error. Thanks be—there is a sane and safe alternative. Cox and Taggart are pro gressive-minded men of progressive rec ords in office. Cox and Taggart are right on the League of Nations. That is why it is both sensible and gratifying for the Progressive rank agd file to Join the Independents in support of such men as Cox and Taggart. Their records are such ns to pledge future service on progressive lines. The voter has #nly to compare the rec ords of Harding and Watson with the reeords of Cox and Taggart to make certain his decision. It Is Hnrdlng. Wat son and r-a-tion, against Cox, Taggart and progiegsivism. It is the league with clarifying reser vations. with Cox and Taggart, or It is the league “scrapped” and a separate peace with Germany, as promised by Harding and Watson. The frank statements of the opposed candidates, and tbe vivid contrast pre sented by their off'clal records, enable ns all to get right. The present sweep to Cox and Taggart In Indiana Is only a manifestation of the fact that the rank and file are not to be fooled hr the self-seeking maneuvers of politicians, apoloeists and shifty strategists.

McCulloch, Democratic candidate for Governor, expressed the opinion in a letter to Fred Rims, ••hair man of tbo State Board of Tax Commis sioners, that, under the circumstances, he has been exceedingly mild in his criticism of the tax board. The letter was written in reply to an inquiry from Mr. Rims ns to whether Dr. McCulloch was correctly quoted In a statement criticising the tax board. Mr. Sims’ letter follows: It was reported to me that you made the following statement at Newcastle, lnd., in a public meeting: The autocratic assumption of power by the B'-'te Tax Board—that ex emplar of the McCray-Goodrich type of centralized control—has outraged the feelings of every self-respecting, sane-thinking man and woman. I would appreciate an early reply as to the correctness of my information. In reply Dr. McCulloch said: I have your favor of the 20th Inst., with its implied complaint. I am sorry you have evidently construed this ns a per sonal attack upon you and your associ ates on the State Tax -Board, for all of whom in your private capacity, I have a high and cordial regard.

I believe the taxpayers would like a re3t. Let us not seek merely to find things on which to place taxes. The power to tax means the power to destroy. We do not want to destroy the earning power of the people by over taxation. Let us seek for those places where we may economize without injury to the public service. First see if revenues are sufficient, if not, then cut off every useless appropriation. I favor the budget plan. I shall always be found, in the Senate, using my best efforts and judgment in cutting off what I consider useless or extrav agart appropriations. * Get down to bedrock economy and save the people from the never-ceasing visits of the tax collector.

It was unexpected advice from anew member, but it was good advice and should have weight because offered by a man who, as a successful business man, has so recently taken his seat in the Senate. Senator Taggart has the viewpoint of the practical disinterested citizen. He has the right idea when he says: “Economy is itself a great revenue.” His advice no doubt sounded strange to the old-style politicians, but it is common sense. FEET ARE GIVING WAY TO HOOFS Professor Sags Narrow Shoes Will Bring 'Em. DES MOINES, In.. Oct. 30.—Hoofs Instead of feet will be the heritage this and succeeding generations will hand down to future generations, if the craze for tight shoes continues.

"The little toes of this generation are so little liecauee the toe is in the process of disappearing and will in time be extinct.” Explaining how the evolution from feet to hoofs will come about, Mar tin said: “The weight of the body alone Is forcing the feet of today into the narrow-pointed shoe casings. “The resule is feet are losing their shape: toes are compressed, corns and callouses follow and the logical result will be hoofs.” strained in the mutter of managing and controlling their own intimate municipal and county affairs; If you could know with what despondency they are facing the enormous increased taxes of next year running to 35 and 50 per cent, I am sure vou would feel that I have been exceedingly mlbl in my criticism of the official acts of this State Tax Board. something broke loose In my veins.

PUSS IN BOOTS JR. — By David Cory. By DAVID CORY. You remember in the last story that little Puss Junior was listening to the music of Pan, the goat-footed shepherd boy who played such lovely music on hls flute that all the nymphs gathered about him to dance. Well, nfter the music stopped one of the nytnphs asked Puss to come with her and she would show him a huge tree. It was so tall that Its trunk overtopped all the other trees and Its leaves were as broad as sails. And wnile Puss stood there admiring It, a Giant came by with an ax in his hand. "All, this tree will make me. some fine kindling wood,” he roared and his voice was so loud that all the leaves trembled and the water from the little stream spattered over the meadow. And when the little nymph heard him she turned pale with fenr, for she was the spirit of the tree, you see. but Puss didn’t know that, and maybe you don’t, so that’s the reason I’m telling it to you. "Don’t cut down this tree," she begged, “for I shall die If you do," But the Giant only laughed and swuug bis great ax. "Stop," erleil Puss, and he drew hls sword, but (he Giant only,. laughed louder than before, and I guess he would have cut down that tree and chopped It up Into kindling wood In less than live hundred short seconds and then carried It home to Ills great big wife, If Puss hadn't waved his magic flaming feather. And then, quick as a wink, that Giant dropped hls ax, for the wooden handle was all In flames. "Who are you?" roared the Giant, and he blew on hls hands to mnke them cool, and would you believe it, Ills breath was so strong that It sent Puss Junior’s cap right off hls head, and if Pan hadn’t enugbt It quickly it would have floated down the stream and away out to the great blue ocean. “I'm Puss In Boots, Junior," replied our Httle traveler. “Well, whoever you are," said the Giant, "you have spoiled my ax handle so that I cannot cut itiwn thla tree,” and he walked away with a great scowl on bis face. "You are a brave cat,” cried the little nymph. “If I were Immortal like my slaters of the mountain and the sea I would not fenr the Giant lest he cut down my tree, for Ls it perish I also die." And Just then a beautiful woman came by. In her arma she carried a bundle of wheat. “I will punish that Giant, she Paul G. Davis for Prosecuting Attorney t Hugh Dougherty feulia : “PAUL G.

Taggart entered the Senate from the business world where efficiency means success and where inefficiency, waste, extravagance and reckless spending moan inevitable, humiliating failure. He looks on the business of govern ment as a business matt ter that ought to be handled with an eye to efficiency and economy. He spoke on a business question as a business man speaks of business. He declined to accept the “pork” theory of public money and gov ernmental disbursements. He spoke as a good American as well as a good business man. Gains National Fame So ran the comment from coast to coast in hundreds of newspapers of all parties, the independent journals being especially vigorous in commending the now “\N atchdog of the Treasury. ” Senator Taggart became famous over night because he got results for the taxpayers. Many editors declared, with the Dubuque (Iowa) Telegraph, that “the United States Senate apparently needs a great many more men of Thomas Taggart’s type.” Taxation is a big issue in Indiana. The public man who gets economy re sults in government is hailed as a real friend by the taxpayers.

Senator Taggart’s record is the best guaranty as to his future non partisan service. In the Senate lie will go in pointing out the need for a budget. lie will insist that expenses be kept within income; that revenues be ascertained, and appropriations cut to fit the revenues. He will combat un justifiable “pork” raids.
