Steel Machine Organ Raps
Proposal That Taxpayers
Aid the Government by
Repairing Road With the
County's Fund.
The Gary Tribune, one of the organs
of the steel political machine organ at
'try. opposes r.r.d unsuccessfully the
r"rir at county expense of Lincoln
highway in Lake county, saying that the
federal govcniment has plenty of -coney
to wast?.
Whether an editorial labe'ed "This is
rot Prussia" is inspired by interests
tliBt do not wish to join in with other
willing taxpayers, only too glad to aid
the government by -repairing a highway
which will be used for the transport or'
war supplies, is not indicated.
Steel Paper Ignored.
When the state engineer appealed to
the county council that (500,000 be ussd
to repair the road, a sum the council
oted. Tribune editorials were circulat
ed at the meeting, but wore laughted at
Last night the Tribune printed this edi
torial :
"THIS IS ITOT PRUSSIA.
"Lake county has clone more than
Its share in all war work. It has
oTer-snbacribed In every campaign.
Are we to he repaid now by being
ordered to expend $300,000 upon a,
country road, which is of the sllght
eat practical value to the taxpayer
of the county, in that motor trucks
may run across the county f
"This ia America., not Prussia.
Lake county has its own govern
ment, free to do a Its officials may
decide in the matter of issuing' Its
own bonds.
"When the State of Indiana or the
Pederal government undertakes to
order X,ake county to expend large
sums, then home rule in Indiana
counties is over.
"If the improvement of Lincoln
highway in Lake county Is so Im
portant to the Federal government,
let It spend Its own money. It has
plenty to waate (see revelations in
aircraft scandal)."
County councilmen and the bulk of
the taxpayers feel that they are only too
glad to have the opportunity to aid the
government by assuming a burden that
.is negligible considering that very few
roads will ba built this year and that
road expense will only be a faction of
what it was in other years.

RED TOMfs
Dr. T. W. Oberlin, president of the
Hammond Hed Cross, has received the
following: letter from A. R. Lacey of
Co. C, 41st Kngineera now in France.
France, April T. ISIS.
Dr. Tom Oberlin,
President Hammond Red Cross.
Dear Doctor:
It certainly does pay to have a
stand-in with the local president I
found out today never knew I had.
but after receiv-inc my share of the
mail It rather looks as though 'his be
true unless some one made a mistake.
Alt the way from Hammond came a
collection of boxes, sweaters. soap,
tooth brushes and the like such as I
have never seen equalled. Ask m if
they looked good ask me! The smok
ing was bully as was everything, so
please tell all the folks who were, kind
enough to spend their time and take
the trouble in sending me the package
It was greatly appreciated. Overs here
where it rains once in a while and
then rnins some more, one can nex-er
have enough, sweaters, wool socks and
the like the clothes line is always full
of wet duds dry'nir. As for the kit
bag and contents well a kit bag Is
the most handy thing around a tent
you can imagine, and naturally have
always wanted one so now I'm happy
and even look forward with expecta
tions to tho next time I have a repair
Job on hand.
If I keep up. you will think I'm kid
ding some one. I'm not. Never In my
life did I recede such a bunch of use
ful gifts everything sent I can us
and have used, although I have been
the proud owner these three short
hours. I tell you doctor, if it wasn't
for the R.-i Cross and "T" this old
war game, even as we engineers play
it. would be something like what Gen
eral Shrman said It was. There Isn't
a man In the army today who isn't for
them strong.
The work they are doing Is truely
wonderful, and the way they do it is
what after all said and done;, counts.
The French and even the English have
not these branches organized as we
have, or- rather as you have. They
seem to ge no where with all their
efforts.
So. Doctor, all you have to do Is te
try and express my thanks to the
Hammond Red Cross that another pack
age landed safe and was given a gnod
home. I thank you. as O. B. S. was
wont to say.

"DON'T GAG PRESS"
SAYS JOHNSON

WASHINGTON, D. C, May 4. Warn
ing that passage of the pending sedi
tion bill would breed discontent and
i mak'? a "great people timid and fear

day in tne senate denounced wni. of
termed attempts to "padlock the lips
of America."
The bill imposes twenty years in
prison and $10,000 fine for any one who
uses profane or abusive language about
t?ie government, the army or navy, who
spreads false rumors or who favors the
cause of Germany.
"This effort to gag the press and
stifle free spr-ech," setd Johnson. "Is a
blow at our brave men 1n Franc who
daily perform deeds of valor which
t would put to Mush exploits rf heroes
