CITY DADS TURN DOWN DAYLIGHT SAVING PLAN 6-2 Majority of Residents Against Adding Extra Hour, Councilmen Say. QUESTION AS TO POWER Indiauapolis time will not be changed I to save daylight. Opponent* of the daylight saving ordinance otday expressed satisfaction over j the action of the city council which last night voted. 6 to 2, not to change the | clocks. I The ordinance failed, according to ex- ! pressed sentiments of councilmen, be- : cause they believe the majority of the | people do not want to se; the clocks back one hour. The right of the council to enact such a measure was disputed. ONLY TWO VOTES FOR THE MEASE RE. Only two councilmen voted for daylight savings. They were Jacob P. Brown and S. A. Furniss. Councilmen Louis Carnefix, Lee J. Kirscb, William I Peake. Otto Pettijobn, Gustav G. Schmidt and Russell Willson voted against It. The majority of people In Indianapolis are opposed to daylight saving, according |to Louis Carnefix. He said propaganda j in favor of the ordinance had indicated ; that the employes of two factories were I in favor of the ordinance, but upon in- | vestigation it was learned that the men ! had not been asked concerning the matj ter. In both cases, he declared, question naires had been tilled ort by foremen. Mr. Carnefix also canvassed employes in a department store who, he said, opposed the ordinance. It. E. Tracy, representing the Cham ber of Commerce, spoke in favor of the . ordinance and said that a committee from i his organization had Investigated the matter and was of the opinion that It was for the welfare of the city in general. Roy Evans, speaking for the Associated Employers, said a vote taken by his organization showed a decided majority In favor of daylight saving. EUBANK SPEAKS FOR UNREPRESENTED VOTERS. Richard Kwbank, explained that he was present to represent the unrepresented voters of the city and was opposed to the passage of the, ordinance. George Desantels of the Imperial Drop Forge Company appeared, representing 200 workers, and declared that all of them were in favor of the ordinance—that they preferred to go to work an hour earlier in the morning with the privilege of having an extra hour of sunshine in the evening. Councilman Willson declared that the passage of such an ordinance would play havoc with the general working schemes of Industry, saying it would put Indianapolis an hour head of railroad schedules, freight service, traction schedules, telephone and telegraph time and the time followed by the state and government. J. E. Stiltz of the Keifer-Stewart Drug Company spoke in favor of the ordinance, saying he represented 875 employes, the malorlty of whom were in favor of day light savings. He was of the opinion that the measure should at least be given a trial and if found unsatisfactory it could be repealed. Dr. J. G. Royse of the state board of health spoke for the measure from a health standpoint. DR. FOREMAN TAKES ISSUE. Dr. W. H. Foreman took Issue with Dr. Royse on the matter of the health value of the ordinance. He said an hour's extra sleep In the early morning was greatly conducive to the good health of young children and he believed a daylight ordinance would prove a detriment rather than a help to the Juvenile population of the city.

HIGHER TAXES ADVOCATED FOR SOLDIER BONUS Various Plans Taken Up as Result of Protests on i Bond Issue. HEARING FOR LEGION WASHINGTON, March 16— Readjustment of the entire system of taxation may be the result of the efforts of the house ways and means committee to provide sufficient money to pay a bonus to former service men. according' to members of the committee, who met today to decide upon a policy on the question. “I feel it would be necessary for this congress to increase taxation to raise the money for the payment of a soldier's bonus.” Representative Kitchln, North Carolina, said. “Every person who appeared before the committee believed It would be wrong to raise the money by a loan. The boys wish so have It raised by taxing the larger incomes.’’ FOKHNEY FOR BOND ISSSUE. "' ” '’lll Fordnev of the committee has held that the flotation of a bond issue i.- raise rlie money would be possible. “Former Secretary McAdoo sugggested the flotation of a bond Issue to reduce taxation." Fordney srid. “If it is possible to float a bond Issue to reduce taxes It is certainly possible to float one to pay the soldier boys a bonus." When the committee takes up the question of taxation to raise the money, plans of the republican leadership to adjust the present tax code with Its excess profit taxes will be gone over. It will be impossible to adjust the system of taxes to pay the bonus without taking Into account the proposed readjustment of taxes for current expenditures announced recently by Senator ’Vatson of the senate finance committee, according to the leaders. PROPONED WAYS TO BOOST TAXES. Several systems of taxation will he considered, one being that of a stamp tax on checks, bills of sale, drafts, deeds and stock transfers. Another Includes a tax on general sales of all nature. In crease in the tobacco tax and the enlargement of the scope of luxury taxes The committee will hear representatives of the American legion If they present ; plan hr which the money itiight be raised. Chairman Fordney an-noum-ed. The legion plans a meeting of the executive committee here next week to dlsciss the matter.

A resolution calling upon the republican state committee to demand a special session of the legislature in order that Indiana women may vote at the May primaries has been passed by the Woman's Rotary club. The state committee has already gone on record as opposed to a special session. The resolution points out that the ratification of the Susan B. Anthony amendment Is certain and that Indiana women will not be able to vote even when It Is ratified without a change In the election laws of the state. The women declare the present state of affairs Is helping to create a “nonpartisan party." After setting out the reasons for demanding a call of the legislature, the resolution says: "Resolved, That the time has come for definite and immediate translation into practice of the theories which the Indiana republican party has been advocating. “Resolved, That the Woman's Rotary cluib ask the republican state commitee to Immediately Insist upon a speedy calling of a special session of the legislature In order that the women of Indiana shall vote at the May primary. “Resolved, That their failure to exer else their power In securing a special session will seem supremely serious to the women of Indiana, and will be a condition of which they are sharply aware. “Resolved.
