Muncie, Indiana. Friday, August 12, 1932.
I ‘Only Hither and Thither’ It is rather interesting and even amusing to note the complete change of heart and the opposing viewpoints snread in ink across the editorial columns of our two daily newspapers every other day. Both dailies have been aipimr’ for months for the slashing of governmental costs and the reduction of taxes but we find out that it makes a great difference where the costs are reduced in order to satisfy thC ^CommentMs not^to'be'recognized ‘Just Here and Therereuuests of the Star and the Press when they passed the $1 50 maximum tax rate bill because it effects all taxing units including the; school city, the county, the township, and the state as well as the civil city of Muncie. Simply because the other taxing units are controlled by Republicans and therefore possess the official O. K. from our daily newspapers you are now reading editorials in these same columns that have formerly demanded tax reductions unlimited, showing a different picture and relating that after all the legislatures should use at least ‘common sense when they can be torn to shreds and the editorial minds rejoice but the least mention of a reduction in school expenditures or county costs meets the direct disapproval of the same minds. No doubt the legislature was all wrong according to the Star and tne Press when they passed Bill No. 417 which provides that municipalities may condemn and purchase their own utilities and may fix the rates for light and water service commisS *° n 'The City of Muncie unfortunately does not own or operate any public enterprise bui must depend entirely upon taxation for revenue with which to maintain goveinment. Other cities do operate one or more of their utilities and financial statistics of these cities as compiled by the Department of Commerce at Washington show that each and everyone of these cities are earning profits from their operations. A recent report^ of Richmond, Indiana, shows that the earnings of their $ui(*%seryice enterprises operated by the city represented 39 per eefit/>f, the total revenu in 1931 an d 41.6 per cent for 1930. The percentages of profits as compared to the total revenue in such cities as own their light and water plants range from five to fifty per cent which would mean that taxes could be reduced accordingly. Some cities operate entirely from the profits of their municipal enterprises and require no tax rate at all. The same condition could exist in Muncie providing the city owned and operated the light and water plants. Now that the special session of the legislature has limited our tax levy to an unworkable rate the costs of government must be reduced nearly 65 per cent which means dark streets because the city must pay over $80,000 per year for lights and water alone, it iiieans a greatly reduced fire and police department which will cause the fire insurance rates to sail sky high, and it means less service in the cleaning of streets and hauling of garbage because of a lack of help. It has been mentioned that a tax be placed on all motor vehicles within the city limits to raise sufficient money to pay operating costs over the amount collected by property taxation. The amount of tax per automobile would be more than many used vehicles are worth at present while the collection of such a tax would be almost prohibitive. Also, such a tax is a sample of an unfair burden since the automobile owner now pays 4 cents on each gallon of gasoline besides his general property tax and license fees. Too much of the burden of taxation is placed upon the small wage earner where if legislation provided for a tax assessor with powers to enter bank deposit vaults and gather together all the taxable bonds and securities and place them on the assessment duplicates, the taxes would be paid more from those who can afford to pay. The laborer who is now working for contractors constructing state roads and bridges receives in many instances the unlivable wage of 15 cents per hour and gets paid only for actual hours worked. The same contractors pay 80 cents per hour for the hire of a man with a truck and he also gets paid by the number of hours able to work. These men drawing an unbelievable low wage must pay taxes on their second hand trucks and kitchen stoves because they cannot hide their property but the man able to invest thousands of dollars in securities and hide them in deposit boxes or safes is escaping his share of taxation.

MRS. HiITTHE BUMPS, College Avenue and Thirteenth street ‘‘It seems to me that all this talk about reducing salaries is a lot of

Honesty is one of the greatest quallifioation in a /public official and where officials are possessed of this attribute, and are otherwise qualified and efficient, then it would appear ridiculous to cut their salaries by way of reward I am not in favor of lowering wages or salaries, except jn cases of inefficiency or for similar causes,
The Spice in Sports BY BILL LEACH
Lame Duck Lays an Egg or Two Senator Friedley distinguished himself this week in the state senate by making an ardent plea in behalf of the fortytwo percent loan sharks, when the bill was up to reduce the rate from three and a half percent a month to two percent. Of all the senators he was the only one who had the gall to praise the Shylocks and was one of the ten who voted against the bill. Being a lame duck, with' no possible chance for election to any other office in the gift of the people of Delaware county, almost any kind of lobbyist can get his nose in the senator’s ear. The senator as usual voted for the utilities, which entitles him to perform in the lobby at the next term. That’s one thing about a lame duck. If he performs right just before the clock strikes twelve, a job and free hotel accommodations are his at the next session. » * , You just can’t get rid of them. ’
Oh, Misses Smith!
The “Muncie Milk ouncil,’’ a police name for the milk trust, has been writing nice little letters to “Mrs. Smith.” These letters occupy much space in local dailies every Mon-
day.
No doubt Mrs. Smith enjoys these weekly lectures, the main purpose of which is to keep up the price of milk to ten cents a quart while the price in all surrounding cities is eight
cents or less.
Mrs. Smith is being gouged out of two cents or more on every quart of milk she buys and the Mesdames Smith on the farm who get six cents a gallon for their milk are also trimmed by the milk trust, but nevertheless the Mrs. Smith letters are sprightly and entertaining and are no
doubt enjoyed by the victims.
One pasteurized milk producer from another city inform the Post-Democrat that the Muncie “Milk Council” waitted on him in a body a few days ego and threatened to
invade his city with “Milk Council” mdk and reduce the ^ vho relKlev r
price to four cents a quart, if he did not quit selling milk here for eight cents a quart. He says Mr. Law, of the state board of health also called him up and informed him, pleasant like, that he was getting in bad in Muncie and might have a milk price war on his hands at home unless he straightens things out here. At the last meeting of the city council the mayor sent his first written message to that body requesting its cooperation in reducing the extortionate price of milk in Muncie. The mayor requests the Post-Democrat to widen the scope of the message and to include Mrs. Smith among the
objectors.
The profits at ten cents a quart are unreasonable. Mid:
is an indispensable necessity.
Please, Mrs. Smith, refuse to pay more than eight cents a quart for milk. Don’t let the “milk council” kid you. The local trust is selling its product in other cities for eight cents and charging the Muncie Smiths ten cents. The Smith family should sit up and take notice. : y, :! <|a

Welcome to Our City, Knockers!
(By the Mayor)
Of course the dollar and a half taxation bill passed by the legislature is a very foolish law, but that hardly entitles it to condemnation by the Muncie Star. When the city council, the legislative body of the city of Muncie, imposes conditions which make government al most impossible here, the Star praises that body in un-
measured terms.
It demands that tax levies be reduced and budgets cut to the disappearing point, regardless of whether the vari-
ous city departments can function or not.
No complaint was made by the Star when the Hampton
administration spent $645,000 in 1929.
No comment was made when the Dale administration spent $503,000 in 1930, other than an insistent demand that
salaries and budgets be reduced.
The only suggestion made in 1931, when the Dale administration spent $448,000 was that the city was spending too much and that salaries and budgets should be reduced. When budget making time came in 1932, the Star complained especially of the Democratic city administration, and demanded drastic slashes, although the city’s expenses this year will be about a quarter of a million dollars less than they were the last year of the late lamented Republi-
can administration.
The Democratic city of Muncie was about the only unit m the county where expenses have not mounted continually. Most of the other units are run by Republicans, who are never criticized by the Star, no matter how much they
spend.
But the dollar and a half bill was too much for the Star, because it hits the school board, the county and other Republican units. Like rain, the dollar and a half law falls on the just and the unjust. When the street cleaning and maintenance department, the police department, the fire department, the park department and the law department were slaughtered last year the Star yelled Eat ’em up council!” a .. ^ken Controller Holloway this year recommended a dollar city levy, to make up the loss sustained by a twenty mi h mxru ec lV ctl ? n in evaIua tions, the Star blew up. What ii he Us ? 5, edl Lcing valuations if taxes are to be increased . inquired the Star, knowing full well that the Ser. ° f m ° ney actually P aid for ^es would be no The legislature came through with the famous dollar and four bits law, which hits everybody and now the Star says everything has gone haywire. If it had affected the city of Muncie alone the Star would have been the first to declare it wise legislation. It is indeed a pleasure to the city administration fo wp! come new recruits to the army of protest " We have been hollering alone too long.
Despite the fact that the Olympic Games at Los Angeles are rated “A number one” among all sports during these first weeks of August, major league baseball continues to command the most attention with as surprising a series of happenings as has befallen the national pastime all
season.
When Chicago released Hornsby last week, the same old explanation was made—“for the best interest of the team.” In this instance, however, it is difficult to see where the star exerted a bad influence. Chicago is well up in the first division with a club which, at the start of the 1932 campaign, was considered very inferior stuff. Even Horsnby’s most bitter baseball enemies have ad milted that he has done a great job of handling a raw club. Shires, on the other hand, has no such record to back up his contention that he has been victimized. Shires injured himself early in the year and hasn't been of any club owners search for a better use to the Braves. Randy Moore has been playing first while the player. The club has decided that “Whataman” is too expensive a luxury, not to mention the fact that his long-windedness is getiing tiresome. Hafey Returns W]hen President Sidney Weil of ihe Cincinnati Reds returned to the Queen City late last week for a few days’ stay before rejoining his club in the East, he brought the report that Chick Hafey is about ready to take his regular position in left field. Hafey played part of the series in Boston and showed that he is in pretty good shape after his long illness. His legs are still weak, of course, but i* few days of play will remedy
that.
The old expression, “The bigger they come, the harder they fall” still goes—for the Pittsburgh Pirates, at least. Ten days ago the Cosaii’s were riding on top of the National League with a margin ot six full games and nothing stand ing in the way of their first pen nant since 1927. But baseball con tinues to be a surprising game, as witnessed by the terrible slump that has dogged the Pirates re cently. The break came in the Philadelphia series when the Phil-
lies took four straight games from Uie league leaders. The Pirates immediately dropped two more to Chicago by wide margins. It was just a case where the pitching broke down completely. Consequently, the batting slumped and the team went onto the rocks. It is not too late for the Pirates to recover and win the flag, but at the rate the club is going now, the
road is entirely downhill.
When the State Legislative body adjourns, it will probably go down in history as “The Cut Legislature.” The worst trouble seems to be, that the cutting
wasn’t done in time.
Senator Friedley, in making his speech before the Senate in favor of retaining the present 42 per cent, loan bill, evidntly was laying down his political life for another.

sional character, and who have expended much money in acquiring a technical education in order to fit themselves for some particular line of work. Men of this character, as a rule earn their salaries and are sometimes hard to replace. Take the board of y .rke, and while its members are not mer with a technical eduaction, they are honest and conscientious, and seem to have the best interests of the taxpayers at heart in the transaction of business for the city. It is but a short time ago since the cost of improvements in Muncie were so extortionate that many
(Continued Frcm Page One) cost of defense and appeal to a higher court. While we were taxing the generosity and loyalty of city employes for the support it was their duty to give, the local daily newspapers sought by every means in their power to frighten city employes into wihtholding their support in a financial way. Every effort was made to deprive us of the money necessary to secure bonds, employ able counsel and to perfect their appeal. If they had succeeded Frank Massey would still be in jail and Pete Horstman, whose Elwood exploit, fixes for* ever his status as a courageous officer, would still be in jail. It was constantly pounded into the ears of the people that it was a great crime for city employes to contribute to what the Star and the Press designated as the “mayor’s defense fund.” Community-Chest Tapped While the Star was doing its hit to prevent Muncie officials from getting a fair trial by threatening those who contributed to this fund its own employe, Bob Parkinson, was taking up a collection from the enemies of good government in Muncie and paying such fellows as .Ed Quirk, Corbett Johnson, Red Rose and Fred Bohlinger. This money was used for the indefensible purpose of buying perjured evidence, and Parkinson knows it was perjured evidence. He knows where this money came from; I know where it came from and Parkinson knows that I know where it came from. The Star and the Press have held it to be a crime to contribute money for honest defense; what about money collected for crooked prosecution by one of their own num-
ber?
And that isn’t all. The community chest was tapped and the taxpayers of Center township were robbed of money to keep Rose and Bohlinger in groceries during the period that these two worthies were working with Sheriff Puckett and F< deral agents to “get the mayor” as kid Quirk put it while
on the witness stand.
