NEW RULING HITS SCHOOL POLITICS Stansbury Says Parties Must I Share Board Jobs. ; Common councils and boards of trus- j tees of cities throughout the state may not elect more than two members of the same political party to serve on j school boards, aeording to an opinion given today by Elo Stansbury, attorney general. >- The opinion was given in response to an Inquiry from L. N. Hines, superintendent of public instruction, who asked information regarding the election of members of school boards, before such elections take place next Tuesday In Indiana. It has been the policy of many councils and town boards in cities of the state to elect all members of the school 'board from the same rarty, the hoards believing that since their town or city was incorporated before the acts of Will, which forbid such action, they had the legal right to do so. Mr. Stansbury’s opinion reads: ••The acts of 1919 do not require the election of more than one trustee in each city or town each year, except in the creation of anew school corporation, but it does require the election of one trustee, and he may not be an adherent of the political party to which the other two members of the board adhere. “The person elected may be a man or a woman." In the elections of' new members of staool boards throughout the state next Tuesday, the councils and town boards will be held strictly to the law as given by the attorney general, according to a statement of the superintendent of public instruction.

Kuppenheimer Quality plus Schloss Service IT IS an ideal combination when you buy clothes to be able to v choOse from the best, aided by helpful store service and complete stocks. This is exactly what we have for you in KUPPENHEIMER Clothes plus Schloss service. And more and more are the men of this city appreciating the combination. Right now, when you are being lured by the cry of “Cheap” prices, is a time to ponder the reason. You’ll find it in the quality of the clothes offered. And in most instances the ‘ ‘quality” is so lacking that the price is really high. This is not a “price” store—primarily. We are not endeavoring to build volume sales—but we ARE selling quality cIothes—KUPPENHEIMER made—at prices which insure satisfaction, with an absolute guarantee for service. Your new suit for Decoration Day should reflect this very spirit—it will if it comes from this store.

$125,000 New Liberty Bond Tax Exemption WASHINGTON, May 28.—Authority for the treasury to make final settlement under which back taxes estimated at one billion dollars will be paid the government is provided in a bill passed today by the house and senate to the senate. The measure amends the 1918 tax law. The bill provides that treasury cisions, accepted by the taxpayer, shall not be reopened, modified or set aside by any official or court except on a showing of fraud materially affecting the tax levy. Besides affecting the tax settlement, the bill would create additional Liberty bond exemptions. Bonds to the value of $125,000 held by one Individual would be exempt from the. Income surtax, excess profits and war profits levies for two years after the proclamation of peace. The same exemptions on $50,000 would be granted for three years after that proclamation.

“Among other things, I think Gov. Lowden’s frank statement on his earn ralgn expenditures has helped his cause. “This Is no 'dark horse - year,” declared Hert. “The successful candidate will be from among those whose nam*-* already have been prominently Identified with the race." Gov. Edward I’. Morrow of Kentucky, who has been mentioned in some quarters as a possible outside choice, will not be a candidate, Hert said.

HOLD UP COLISEUM WIRE INSTALLATION CHICAGO, May 2.B.—Workers employed in preparing the Coliseum for the republican national convention, apparently had been successful today in barring installation of special Western Union and

The “Joker” in Tire Advertising There are tricks in all trades—in advertising as well as in boiler making. In tire advertising especially the tricky tricksters strive to befuddle the gentle reader. Here is an example of one of the favorite “jokers” that reads something like this: "Compare our tire prices with any ‘list’ of high-grade tires.” Now, we know and you know that about the only time you have to pay “list” for a tire is when you have a blow-out in a little country town where there is but one garage, and that garage is manned by one whose motto is, “I’ll get mine while getting’s good.” If we charged “list” for all the tiresNve sell we would be vulgarly rich within a year. We, t/'o, invite comparison of prices—not with the “list,” but with the prices quoted by other dealers on tires of like kind and quality. Try the comparison on the Goodrich tires which are quoted below: Goodrich Tires We bought them before the March Bth advance in prices, and because of that fact we can quote prices that will bear the test of comparison with those of other dealers on tires of like kind.

pany, nor the Indianapolis company, is paying dividends to stockholders, but that only makes the case of discrimination more flagrant. It has also been asserted that the local company's securities are representative of water, but this assertion fails when it is taken into consideration that the local company is valued for rate making purposes at 19 per cent less than It Is valued for taxing purposes. It can -hardly be argued that the state is levying a tax on the "water” said to be contained in these securities. Asa matter or Tact, the discrimination against the Indianapolis company is more flagrant than it appears on the surface for the reason that the tax rate in Marion county is higher than the tax rate in Daviess county, where the property of the Washington company is located. And taxes, as a part of the accepted
