OGDEN RULES TAXPAYERS CAN’T APPEAL
POLICE HEAD IS SHOT IN RESORT
ATTORNEY GENERAL RULES THAT 1927 INDIANA TAX LAW IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL—CANNOT APPEAL FROM ASSESSMENTS OF TAX BOARD
INDIANAPOLIS, Auk. 9—(INS) —James M. Ogden has handed down an opinion at the request of the state tax board to the effect that the provision of the 1927 Indiana tax law that authorities can appeal to circuit and superior courts f r om assess ments of the state tax board is un constitutional. Attorney General Ogden advised Philip Zoercher, a member of the tax board, that the hoard does not need to provide the transcripts of profeedings before the board to several irate lax payers who wished to use them in appeals to county courts. Ogden held that the fixing of assessments for taxation was purely a legislative functii n. "The power of taxation is legislative and the functoin of assessment for taxation is an administrative function in aid of the legislative luncti: n,” Ogden -aid in his opinion. ‘‘If courts may be transferred from their constitutional position as judicial officers to the position of assessing officers, a legislative function pure and simple, the provision of the constitution above quoted is made impotent ami meaningless.”

LONDON. Aug. 9—(INS)—Philip | Snowden, British chancellor of the; Exchequer, who outlined Britain’s demands at The Hague conference, thus precipitating a deadlock, has prepared to return to London immediately unless the demands are satisfied, according to a Central News dispatch from The Hague this after-} noon.
THE HAGUE, Aug. 9—(INS)— Aitempts to break the deadlock in The Hague conference failed todayPhilip Snowden, British chancellor of the Exchequer, who precipitated the tie-up by his “ultimatum speech” late yesterday, when he declared the British delegation would stand firm \ in their demands, remained adamant j teday. M. Francui, of Belgium, one of the ] Belgian experts who helped draw up the Young plan, took the lead in try- j ing to break the deadlock. He con-1 ferred with other delegates to The j Hague conference most of the night. I Following a long consultation witL \ German minister of finance Hiiferd-! ing, the two called upon Snowden to ! try to persuade him to make conces- | sions. Snowden reiterated his position, j which, in brief, is as follows; 1—Britain demands revision ofj the Young plan for reparation payments in order to obtain a larger share of German annuities; 2.—Britain opposes the division of annuities into two categories of con- j ditional and unconditional; 1>.—The British oppose delivery is ! kind by Germany as part payment of the reparation debt and oppose some of the provisions for the creation of an international bank for the collection and distribution of reparations.
HEN John Coolidge, son of the former President of the United States, and Florence Trumbull, daughter of the governor of Connecticut, are married, probably this Fall, they will begin housekeeping on an income just about equal to that with which the parents of the bride began a little more than twen-ty-five years ago. And they’ll start right in "doing without”
things, too.

But they I establish a home In New Haven Just as modest as that which Mr. and Mrs. John Trumbull established In Plalnvllla a quarter century back, long before they had any Inkling of the honor and wealth ahead. Mrs. Trumbull hints that the wedding will take place In the Autumn, and they will live on the salary of a clerk of the New York, New Haven & Hartford railroad. Mrs. Trumbull continued; "Of course they will have to begin housekeeping In a very mod est way. But that'e all the more fun, we think. The time to begin doing without things Is when you are young and as I look back on the years when I was first married 1 realize that the Governor and I really enjoyed trying to get along on what we had. "W# were talking It over Just the other night and remarking that John and Florence will have a little more to start with than the Governor and I had when we set up housekeeping. Only, of course, money went further In those days than It does now. And people didn’t want so much—there wasn’t so much to want.” It Is a fact the palatial home of
