THE SPECIAL SESSION: Every citizen of Indiana* in these I turbulent days is interested vitally in the outcome of the special session of the legislature called by Governor Leslie for July 7th. It is tailed for the particular purpose of changing the tax laws of Indiana that the burden may be equalized and property saved from ' confiscation. A committee appointed by the governor to work out a' plan has decided upon fourteen i trinciples which will be included in 1 I.ills to be presented. The fourteen principles of the I Co-Operative Committee's taxation I relief program are as follows. 1. That appropriations to all I State schools be reduced at least < 10 per cent. 2. That the following state levies I shall be suspended for the years 1933 and 1934: World War Memorial Fund. State Teachers Retirement Fund. State Forestry Tax. George Rogers Clark. Memorial, educational Improvement Fund. 3. That enough additional re- ; funds from the Gasoline Tax tnon ies shall he made to the various counties of the state to replace the property levy for the maintenance ot local roads. 4. That all local roads of the county shall he under a county unit system of supervision. 5. That authority for local governments to levy a tax against property for the maintenance of local roads shall be repealed. 6. That authority to issue county unit highway bonds shall immediately be suspended to be effective for three years. 7. That authority of the "three mile gravel road" law shall be re-1 pealed. 8. That ill'- county shall be hijilthe unit for education. 9. That acts shall be passed to permit counties or lesser units to combine and thereby eliminate functions of government as the result of the circulation of a petition within those units for the uniting of such units after the same has received a plurality vote of those voting in an election upon such union. 10. That mandatory laws which require the continuation of services, offices, or salaries within the county or lesser units of government shall be repealed. 11. That all local units of government be required to divide their annua! budgets into monthly allot nients: that at the end of each month, they he required to adjust the following month's allotment to offset any decline in revenue, received or estimated. 12. That automobile licenses shall be issued by the county assess- 1 or and he shall collect the personal property tax on the automobile at the same time such licenses are issued and such license fees sha'l then be turned into the State Highway Department. 13.

annual poll tax of 51.00 on every free citizen over the age of 21 years through the county treasurer ot the county wherein the citizen resides. 14. That no license of any kind or character shall be issued within the State without evidence of payment of the State poll tax of SI.OO. The Rockefellers seem to feel that oil and alcohol will mix. Any way they are out with a broadside in favor of repeal of the present laws and favoring Dr. Butler's plan Ito submit the question to special '••late conventions. The Rockefel-1 Iler family have always been teetotalers and still are and say they have taken the stand because of I the failure of the present laws Coming as this does just before the national convention, it promises to be of considerable effect. The bonus expeditionary forces marched down on Washington, had a big parade and a lot of fun, if they never get any thing else.

Most ironic of all, the man whose ! wizardry with billions brought him i a persrWial fortune of $100,000,000 will leave Chicago a pensioner of, the companies which repression, whisked from his grasp. It is not expected the aging finan- i cier will be forced to undergoo the humiliation of bankruptcy, though I the ledgers will show him indebted , to the extent of $10,000,000. In-' stead, bankers and creditors have! arranged that each of the three' large Insull operating units, Commonwealth Edison Co., Public Service Co., of Northern Illinois and People’s Gas Light & Coke Co., will provide $6,000 a year for the man whose genius is responsible for their success.

was synonymous with amazing success are determined to spare as far ,-.s possible the bitterness of his defeat which came about, they assert, ] through his determination that not I a dollar of his own would be spar- ‘ cd in an effort to protect Instill in- 1 vestors from loss. It was this determination, they said, that led to creation of the vast holding corporations which were wrecked by collapse of the securities market. These corporations into which Insull poured mil- 1 lion after milion were organized largely to retain control of the op-, erating units in the hands which built them to success. Yet the holding concerns piling-1 ed.into collossal receivership and; brought Insull’s debacle while the; utilities themselves have weather-! ed the storm. Bankers had hut admiration fori the steely courage with which In-J still met the tall of his mighty | pyramid. One told of Insull's remark as he] rose after his resignation had been; accepted by the directors of one of the companies his tireless ener-j gies had brought to prosperity. | "Gentleman.” said Insull with a I tight-lipped smiles "1 am leaving I you now. after 50 years of work, i man without a job.” OBITUARY Edward Michael Burkhart, son of!

GARNER ready TO COMPROMISE (COhTINUEDFROM FAGS ONE! As a first stop. Democratic Loader Robinson will ask that the Wag- < ner bill authorizing the recon- I titruction corporation to loan ’ $300,000,000 to the states for re- 1 lief, lye taken up Immediately i after passage of the pending economy measure. It is believed that the Wagner bill could be passed with little delay. It is understood to be acceptable to President Hoover. And It is thought that Garnet ; would agree to It. Thus at least , S3OO 000.000 of funds for direct relief would be made available be fore congress adjourns. If time remained, the senate could seek to work out a further compromise between the Garnet, i Wagner and administration plans for creating employment by stlm- | ulating construction. Each of these plans provides increases of $1,000,000,000 or more ; In the capitilization of the recon-1 struction corporation to finance. ■ self liquidating" construction pro-, jects by public bodies and t orpor- < at ions.

bills also call for public works bond Issues of sl,tH>o,ooo,ooo and $500.000,<100, respectively. President Hoover opposes the bond Issues on the ground that they would unbalance the federal budget. He also holds that the proposed public works construction would be wasteful and unnecessary. Passage of the Garner bill by the house was accompanied by l itter Republican protests against "gag rule” tactics. The Democratic majority first pushed through a special rule for consideration of the hill, limiting debate to three hours and precluding the possibility of Republican amendments. This was adopted with the aid of Republican "progressives." The Democrat* then proceeded In record time to pass their bill,. one of the most controversial of the present session. Twenty-one Republicans voted for the Garner bill. Ten Demo-, | irate deserted their party leader-' l ship to vote against it. o BARGAINS — Bargain* tn Living Room, Dining Room Suits.
