The purpose of the .cold storage law is well stated in the preamble of the act as being "for the protection of the public health and the prevention of fraud and deception by regulating cold storage and refrigerating warehouses, the holding of food products stored therein, and defining the duties cf the state board of health in relation thereto.” The law provides that all food must be stamped with the date of entry and departure from cold storage warehouses; that food shall not be kept in cold storage for more than nine months, and specifies other regulations. Summary of Changes. The charges made In the indictments just returned are summed up aa JMm

changed to give the common council at least a month for the consideration off the budget after the certification of valuation has been received from the county auditor. The iaw requires the i tax levy and general appropriation ordnance to be passed by September 1. Hearing Monday Morning. Councilman Carneflx, chairman of the finance committee, announced that the committee would hold a hearing on the budget in the council chambers at 10 o'clock Monday morning, to which all councilmen and all citizens w*e Invited. Mr. Carneflx said that while the time the council had for consideration of the budget waa limited. It would give It the most careful consideration pos-

sible. > r

The city received approximately 1300,000 revenue from other sources than taxation, so that the amount to be raised by taxation as set out in the budget is $4,685,606. Based on present estimates of the valuation of taxables, the total tax rate in 1620 for tax payers of Indianapolis in Center township will run from $1.65 to $1.6®, If the tax levies being asked by the several municipalities are finally granted. Mayor Jewett. Samuel Ashby, corporation counsel; Robert H. Bryson, city controller; I^eo K. Fesler, county auditor, and George 8. Hitt, AjusIness director of the Indianapolis schools, held a conference late Friday, making estrimatee on the tax levy on the basis of a valuation of $690,000,060 of taxables In greater Indianapolis. It was estimated that the new state tax levy rate would be 17 cents; the county rate from 20 to 2$ cents; school rate, 36 cents; the Center township rate, 3 cents, and the civil city rate, •1 cents, with an additional 6 cents levy, which will be used to meet the deficit of $$00,000 that has resulted In the loss of revenue from saloon licenses and franchise taxes. Old Tax Rates. The tax rates under the old tax law this year were; State. 35 cents; county, 45.15 cents; School, 68 cents; Center township, 6.75 cents, and civil city, $1.14, making a total rate of $2.68, for taxpayers of Indianapolis in Center town-

ship.

The city officials first figured their tax levies on the basis of $660,000,000 valuation. but a revision of this estimate based on the total additions caused by

FARMERS BRING PRICES DOWN FOR CITY FOLK ON THE MARKET The stubborn cost of distribution received many a blow on the public market today. Farmers were out in force with fine assortments* of produgts in season, and city folk were filling market baskets all day long. The direct meeting of producers and consumers is gaining headway, and both buyers and sellers seemed to be enjoying the contact. The farmers who retailed were getting considerably more for their produce than they coaid by selling It to middlemen, and yet in many cases they were selling it for less than the middlemen, so that the advantage was reciprocal between producer and consumer. The discussion of public market conditions appears to be bringing in more farmys, and manifestly the patronage of the farmers is increasing. "Of course, we are not selling our stuff at a sacrifice.” one farmer said. "Nobody should expect us to do that. It would be better for society if tne number of these middlemen were reduced and a lot of them went to farming and producing. Maybe this high-price period will drive a lot of people back to the farm, and In" the end the high cost of living may be a good thing, for there are too many people engaged in handling what we produce. "This wholesale terminal market idea looks good to roe. for there are many producers that can’t come here and sell direct but that would ship or truck their stuff into the wholesale terminal market, which would get rid of a big bunch of middlemen and their profits.” Farmers at the Washington street curb were retailing roasting ears at pumpkin crop isn’t as big this year astandhoiders around the block were asking 36 cents a dozen, or thre ears for 10 cents. The farmers were cutting under standhoiders’ prices on grapes, tomatoes, live young, chickens and plums. The presence of the farmers seems to be tending toward a reduction in prices asked by several standhoiders. The Hooeier pumpkin, glossed with golden sunshine, was brought to the market today by the farmers in considerable quantities for the first time this year. They were selling at 15, 20 and S cents, according to size. The punkin crop isn’t, as big this year as it was last, the drought cutting it down. Still an ample number for all who like pumpkin pies is in prospect. Three or four truckloads of watermelons grown within twenty-five miles of Indianapolis were being sold by the farmers at from 15 cents to 40 cents. There was an abundance of Indiana watermelons grown in Gibson and other counties, and the middlemen were selling them very close to the farmers’ prices. Kentucky Wonder beans were 15 cents a pound, as against 30 cents earlier in the week.

Likewise an Increase of 35 cents was authorized in the school levy and under the old law this would have boosted the school levy from 6S cents to $1.03. In other words the total tax rate in 1930 under the old tax law for taxpayers in Indianapolis In Center township would have jumped from $2.68 to $3.2o, figuring that the state, county and township tax rate remained the same.

ZONE SUPPLY OFFICER PUTS INDIANAPOLIS IN LIST.

The Indiana Sta.te Federation of Labor, in convention in this city, today went on record as ‘favoring: the immediate release of all political and religious prisoners held under the espionage law, a standard six r hour work day for all working men and the right of self-determination of all nations. The last action was taken as a substitute for a resolution requesting the recognition of the independence of Ireland by the

United States.

Provokes Storm of Debate. The resolution favoring the t release of political and religious prisoners proyoked a storm of debate and prevented the convention from completing its j work at the morning session. Aa a result it was found necessary to add an extra session of the convention, which was to have adjourned Friday after-

noon.

The resolution asked that “now that] the war is over, the espionage law be repealed, and all political and religious prisoners held under this law be released immediately.” The resolutions committee unanimously recommended noncoecmrence in the resolution. Harry Lentz, of Terre Haute, one of the signers of the resolution, declared that everyone of the 3,000 men held under the law are working men, and for that reason he

(Special to The Indiaaapolie Newt] GREENCASTLE, Ind., August 30. —Arthur W. Calhoun, recently selected as professor of sociology at DePauw university here, has been relieved of his position. The action, it was announced today by Dr. George R. Grose, president of the institution, is the result of a letter written by the instructor in' which, it is alleged, he indicated his support of radically socialistic views. Professor Calhoun had written the letter to William E. Zeuch at Minneapolis. who formerly was a professor for a short time at Indiana university, and who was dismissed for utterances during the world war that were regarded as pro-German. Its text was made public last Saturday at Chicago by Charles F. Clyne, United States district

attorney.

Tether with other matter a photoraphic copiy of the letter had been turned over to the federal officials by a man, into whose hands it had fallen, and who said he was aroused by what he believed was an attempt to spread Bolshevik tendencies among American college students. At the time it was written, July 29, 1919, Professor Calhoun was living at Columbus, O. Following the action of Mr. Clyne. several members of the DePauw facultytelegraphed Ur. Grose, who was in New York on his way home from the New England states, asking for an explanation of why Professor Calhoun was chosen for the local place and urging that he be immediately dismissed. The* DePauw head replied Monday that he would investigate and then issue a statement, doing so soon after his arrival in Greencastle. The Statement of Grose. The statement of Dr. Grose" follows: "Upon my attention being called to the letter published in the Chicago Tribune alleged to have been written by Arthur W. Calhoun to William E. Zeuch.

WASHINGTON. August 30 - State agencies began functioning in close cooperation with the federal government today in the campaign to reduce cost of living as a result of conferences held yesterday with President Wilson and Attorney-General Palmer by the committee of six state Governor? representing the Governors’ national conference. Assurances were given the attorneygeneral by the committee that every state agency which could be of service in the emergency would be placed at his disposal for any information or

assistance he might desire Fair Price Plan Approved.

The committee’s indorsement of Mr. Palmers suggestion that a fair price commissioner be appointed in each state and fair price committees in the different localities also was announced after the conference, at which the at-torney-general declared that if satisfactory results in the elimination of profiteering were not obtained through these instrumentalities the department of justice "would handle these ques-

It waa interpreted everywhere today to mean that the Republican national organization has oot changed its attitude with respect to the policy that the senate 1 Republican* should pursue in dealing with the treaty. The organization has from the first taken the attitude that effective reservations should be made in the resolution of ratification and that the treaty should be ratified speedily. The statement from committee headquarters attracted unusual attention because it followed so closely on the heels of the speech of Senator Knox, RepubGermany. It was t assumed today that the notice _ the aatipnai organisation that It tavo-s ratification with reservations will not tend to help along the campaign of these Republican senators who are now openly advocating the rejection of the

The Carmack tragedy in 1998 was the result of the race between Carmack and former Governor Patterson for Governor in 1908. D. B. Cooper, father of the young lawyer, was one of the closest advisers of Patterson and ill feeling between him and Carmack developed

during the political campaign.

After the election the two met in the street and exchanged shots. Young Cooper was with his father and fired the shot that caused Carmack's death. Both father and son were convicted by the lower court of murder ip the second degree, but the state supreme court reversed the verdict as to th« son and remanded his case for a new tilitf. When young Cooper was brought to trial again the charge was dropped. The elder Cooper never served any part of his sentence, having ifcen pardoned by
