■CHOOL CHANCES ' UNEVEN IN STATE Indiana Official Points to Unequal Taxation. Educational opportunities provided school children in various counties in Indiana are %iot equal because local school corporations are the taxing units for school funds, is the statement of B. J. Burris, assistant state superintendent of public instruction. Os the money expended for education in the state 84 per cent is raised in the local corporations, as shown by the statistics prepared by Burris. It is further shown by the flgnres that there are great differences in the per capita amounts of taxables in the counties for children enumerated for school purposes. Benton county leads the state In the amount of taxsbles for each school child; the total valuation is quoted at $72,773,840; the school enumeration is 3,295, and the amount of taxables for each school child is $22,086. qtouK quotations OTHER COOTIES. Similar statistics were quoted for the counties of Boone, Carroll, Clinton. Hancock, Hendricks, Jasper, Johnson, Rush, Montgomery, Shelby Tippecanoe and I'nion. Crawford county appears at the bottom of the list with taxable property amounting to $2,930,350, school child enumeration of 3,146 and only $931 of taxubles for each school child In the county. A like condition exists in Clark. Clay. Dubois, Floyd, Franklin, Harrison and Orange counties. The total taxable property in Indiana for 1920 is $5,749,458,794, and the school enumeration for this year la 778,786, fixing the average true value of taxable wealth for each pupil enrolled for school purposes In 1920 at $7,382. CONTRASTS ARE STRIKING The uneven distribution of taxables In Indiana is shown strikingly by the fact that one township in the state has taxables amounting to $18.000.qp0; at least fourteen townships have taxables ranging from $8,000,000 to $18,000,000: sixtyone townships fiave taxables ranging from *6.000.000 to $8,000,000, while other townships have taxables ranging downward from $500,000, some as low as SIOO,OOO. These figures do not Include the taxable property lying within incorporated towns and cities. If this property were to be included in the figures the differences in taxables in the townships would be even greater. One township in the state has taxable property amounting to $357,548,300. SOME TOWNSHIPS MORE THAN COUNTIES. Some counties in the state have less taxable property than some townships. county has a total assessed valuation of only $7,295,690, while Penn township of St. Joseph county has property assessed at $7,453,040, and Lawrence township of Tippecanoe county has a valuation of $8,161,480. Following the publication of the statistic* it is expected there will be a started to make the state proves more than 10 per cent of the funds used for educational purpose* in the community. A bill providing for making the state the taxing unit for school purposes Is expected to be submitted at the next regular session of the general assembly by school authorities. Asa result of the present financial conditions in the state some townships are maintaining a school term of not more than 100 days, while in other townships the school term is almost double that amount.

What’s What -Hmi In Indianapolis |||^f|j 'Know Your Own EEjjy Home Town" - ( [y the Reference Department, Inc/ianapiltt l lubiie Library, C. E. Rush, Librariat) What fish stories are told of White river in the early days? White river abounded with fish of great variety and of choice quality. Its waters were so clear the fish could be seen at the bottom in shoals. If a minnow was cast into the stream, a number of bass would dart for it at once. In the fall when the weather began to moderate people came with selns and. provided with salt and barrels, loaded their wagons in a short time with the finest, leaving others on the banks for the immediate settlors to feed Qieir hogs. When the river was froren, the fish were found next to the ice. By striking the ice over them, they were stunned and a hole could- be cut ana the fish taken out. s For what is the Union Station remarkable? It was the first union station in the world to be conceived and built. This was done in 1850 through the efforts of Chauncey Rose, John Brough, Oliver Hampton Smith and William N. Smith. How Urge are the Indianapolis stock yards? They cover about sixty acres, paved either with brick or concrete. Forty acres are under roof. They havg their own water and sewerage system, and the largest , and most complete truck yards in the United States for handling of hogs delivered by trucks or wagons. It opened for business In 1877.

INDIANA DAILY TIMES, MONDAY, JUNE 21, 1920.

POLICE ADMIT SUNDAY GAMING (Continued From Page One.) c-lared the officers never ventured Inside. George Abrams, negro, 716 Fayette street, alleged to have had charge of the game, was arrested, charged with keeping a ganibltng house and gaining, and similar'’ charges were placed against Norman Reilly. Robert Johnson, 1634 North West street, was arrested charged with visiting a gambling house and gaming. These arrests were made by Lieut. Woollen aniL- Sergt. Dean, after Scott had told the police of the alleged craps game. That there should have been a crops game in the rear room at 532 Indiana avenue seems to be a surprise to the police and other persons who know the

avenue. The place has been' raided many times and the proprietors convicted of keeping a gambling house, but that was lu the old days and the management of the place changed bands more than a month ego. Since the management changed, the morals squad, under Sergt. Russell, raided the place and arrested twenty-one negroes, among them Normsn lleilley, on May 30. They also obtained three jjlce and 10 cents In that raid. It was not until three days later that Beret. Russell and bis morals squad realised what a terrible mistake they had made in raiding a -place where negroes never gamble. On June 1 Judge Walter Pritchard discharged all of the twenty-one negroes. It was stated in court that the room in the rear of the shining parlor was an “athletic club” and not a place where craps games were held. MERELY ENJOYING "CLUB PRIVILEGES." Evidence offered in court was that two men were playing checkers, and the others were enjoying tl.a “privileges” of the club, which were wrestling, bag punching, boxing and foot racing. Efforts of the proseeitorf to learn the name of the “athletic club” during the trial failed. The arrest of Norman Reilly Sunday on gaming charges was the second time he was arrested, the other occasion being when he was arrested on the charge of 'assault and battery. While snrehing for “Stump" Rice, the man alleged to have done the shooting, the police interrupted two "polltlcai" meetings attended by negroes. As Lieut. Woollen iffld Sergt. Dean approached 349 Indiana avenue at 4 o'clock It is said there was a hurried exit of many negroes. The same thi> g occurred an hour later, It is said, at a poolroom at 1317 North Senate avenue which, the police say, is owned by Rufe Page, However, there were about thirty negroes still In the place when the police entered to search for Rice, hut he was not there, and as the men were not gambling at that time no arrests were made. POLICE GET SEVEN HERE. An alleged attempt to “pry off the lid" at 643 Indiana nvenue resulted In Lieut. Woollen arresting Gns Edwards, five other*negroes and a negro woman. Edwards is charged with keeping n gambling house, gaming and operating a blind tiger. The police obtained as evidence $29.80 i and two decks of cards used, It la said, in a “friendly game of poker," and a bottle of real whisky and some "ralslnJack."
