THE DEMOCRATS having publicly exposed false registrations, Mr. Adams, prosecutor, will doubtless make another “lecture tour." CONGRATULATIONS, Mr. J. F. O’Mahoney. There is really no reason why a man should suffer through erroneous identification in America. THE NEWS says the nomination of Ora Davies was an affront to the Republicans of Indiana. Why confine the assertion to only one nominee? * v THE TIMES wishes to acknowledge the compliment from Mark Sullivan in his statement in the Star that “both the great papers in Indianapolis have been strongly pro-league." CONSPICUOUSLY' MISSING from the promises of Warren T. McCray to apply to State affairs the same methods he has applied in his private business is an explanation of those methods. i SENATOR WATSON is reported to have argued at Columbus that Germany was justified in sinking the Lusitania. Jim was ever a foolish apeechmaker, but this report is beyond credence. INDIANA VOTERS will have an opportunity to say soon whether they prize the services of a man who cared for wounded soldiers in the trenches more than- the services of a Chicago Board of Trade operator. THE RECENT INCREASE in ihe coal margin fixed by the coal commission is either an admission that the original margin so valiantly defended was too low or it is a concession against the interests of the public. MAYOR JEWETT’S prediction that the Republicans wodld carry Marion County and Indiana is in line with his prediction that the garbage >lant bought from Goodrich and others would pay for itself fu four years. The Real Issue Summing up the issues between the Democrats and the Republicans of Marion County reveals for the consideration of the voters a great deal more than is embodied in the issue of the League of Nations. On that subject there can be but one conclusion —the Democrats are on the- moral side of a stupendous question and tbev have not flinched from the test. Departing from the national issue one finds a difference of- an equally great moral nature. The big question of this election in Marion County is whether the voters will indorse the Republican administration under which the county has been operated for years. There is little to commend this administration or to justify its continuance. / No constructive program has ever been worked out by it. No iridividual member of it has made a record for constructive effort. There have been no changes inaugurated on which the support of the public can be asked. Steadily throughout the control the affairs of the county the taxpayers have been called upon to produce more money with which to operate it, until the increase for 1921 will reach the appalling sum of J 6.000.000. Nowhere can the administration point to any concrete return for this sum of money, or the sums that have preceded it. We are not engaged in a single county building project that requires high taxes. But we have the high taxes. Sunnyside, the county tubercular hospital, is at a standstill for lark of money to complete its enlargement. The county jail has been condemned as insanitary and wholly unsatisfactory. Julietta asylum has not escaped criticism, the poor farm is as unsatisfactory as it was years ago. Standing as a monument to misdirected expenditures is the old courthouse, inconvenient, antiquated, even crumbling. Yet not a dollar of the principal of the debt created by its erection has been paid! Throughout the county there Is a cry for better roads—a cry tlial has been met in some instances by bond issues, and a cry that is unheeded in the greater majority of cases. Individually and collectively the office holders of the present administration has fallen down. „ They tolerated conditions at the jail that were the state’s disgrace. They spend the county’s money with an abandon that is not even countenanced by their own members. They even lend county funds to themselves. In short, they have run riot with the county's poeketbook and left In their trail the usual debris that comes of incompetence, indifference and crooked politics. Not even the courts have escaped the pall of impropriety which has settled over the administration as a whole. An attorney has been permitted to violate the sanctity of the grand jury room without even so much as a rebuke. The grand jury has been so handicapped in the discharge of its duties that apparent felonies have gone unpunished, in fact uninvestigated. With personal knowledge of law violations, with proof of law violations freely offered, the law’ enforcement branch of the county administration has failed to act. v A more flagrant example of the abiding evils of complete political control by a directorate emboldened by its political success to a point of imiifference to public sentiment would be difficult to imagine. As the Republican State committee has itself suggested, there are other issues at stake in this election than thgp League of Nations. But these other issues are all a part of the great moral question that confronts the voters. „ That question is solely whether men are to be elected to office because they desire the offices or whether the voters express more than mere blind partisanship when they name their public servants. Pay Taxes This Week Taxpayers of Marion County will do well to remember that this is the last week for the payment of the fall installment of taxes, as well as the last week of the State campaign. The printed notice across the face of the spring installment receipts which conveyed an implied promise that the fall installment would be less than the spring payment has.no value now. The last special session of the Legislature attended to that matter. The horizontal Increases that were onto the true cash valuations were declared Illegal by the Supreme Court, on the grounds that the State tax board exceeded Its statutory authority by imposing them, but the Legislature, under the direction of Jim Goodrich and with the sanction of Warren T. McCray, promptly supplied the lacking statutory authority and everything is all right now. In Marion County the taxpayers will pay the increases in taxes as imposed by the State board and contemplate with some dismay what they will pay next year with a levy increase of 82 cents, or approximately 60 per cent The Increase In the amount of taxes the property owners of Marion County -will finish paying this week over last year’s total is only about 12,400,000. The Increase they will pay next year over what they put up this year will "be approximately $6,000,000. In the meanwhile State officials assure us that it does not cost the t&xpaj’ers anything to keep up the State government They say the fees collected by the various State officers are sufficient to pay the expenses of the State administration. But they do not explain, why, if this be true, the amount of taxes Marion County must pay will he six million dollars more next year than this year. Conjecture on that Subject is left to the individual, taxpayer whose true cash valuation has been increased horizontally by the State tax board. In connection therewith it should not be forgotten that Warren T. McCray, the Republican candidate for Governor, has given his approval to the present tax law as it stands and under which the next Governor will appoint anew tax board. The Democratic State platform and Dr. Carleton B. McCulloch, Democandidate for Governor, both demand the repeal of this

Voters Have Power to Cut Taxes, Sahm Says

Albert Sahm, viee chairman of the Democratic county committee and a well known business man of Indianapolis, mada an address on county issues recently at Cumberland. It wasn’t the kind of an address the pussy-footing-, bi-partisan gang of politicians that always try to “hog the spotlight” in Marion County like a little bit. Air. Sahm talked about the things that concern the people of this county. He told them what they could do to make this a better place in which to live. His Speech and the rec, option it got proves conclusively that, regardless ot their interest in national issues, the people of Marion County have a vital concern in nubile affairs here a.t home. Mr. Sahm laid much stress upon what he termed the Republican taxeaters’ practice of fooling the people, but said that after all the dear people were largely to blame in the light of past experiences at the hands of those selfsame taxeaters. To make clear what was meant he went back to the last previous Republican County regime. “Lest we forget,” he said, “let roa refer briefly to the past. For fourteen years, ending with Jan. 1, 190S, Marion County had been continuously and exclusively controlled and dominated by Republican officials, and (on account of apparent Indifferences on the part of the public) to all intents and purposes expected to continue this control indefinitely. But In tlie campaign of 1906. under the fearless and aide geueralship of their county chairman, the late Judge Theodore I*. Davis (father of Paul Davis, preseut Democratic nominee for prosecuting attorney). the Democrats waged such an aggressive campaign that the voters, irrespective of party, sat up and took notice. It was truly a campaign of education, and when the -smoke of battle cleared away {notwithstanding Marion County had been given Republi -an majorities of 10,000 and more) two of the Democratic nominees were elected, and upon their assumption of office things began to happen. outraged public ROSE IT IN REVOLT.

“An empty tjeasury—overdrawn in violation of the law—county warrants drawn in favor of bogus payees, a mountain of unpaid bills and creditors clamoring for their money, a depleted school fund, thousands of dollars of overdue school fund interest and kindred malfeasances piled up so thick and fast that the county council authorized au imiue illafe Investigation which lead to such astounding disclosures that at the next election an enraged, outraged, Indignant populace turned tlm rascals* out completely. “But. I reiterate, the public is forget ful for notwithstanding the Democrat* restored order out of what seemed hopeless chaos, reduced debts, reduced taxes annually and filled the treasury to over flowing, the Republicans managed six years, ago through long and loud promises and with tears In their eyes and tears in their voices, to hypnotize the public Into trusting them once more and here we are: “Naturally, one would Ihink they should profit by their former experience and at least offer a semblance of reform and rot reach men t, but no. They had fooled the good people once more and why should they worry. And so (be past six year* worn simply u repetition of eharaeteriHtio careless jndiffer cues in the public management with the Inevitable result—-higher taxes ’ He showed how. through the lndir ferenee to the public need, expenses grew by hops and bounds and that notwithstanding that in addition to the grow lug tax collections the lattdr by no means sufficed to make ends meet and as a result more money was procured by means of bond Issues. Taxes increased, the bonded debt In creased and the cash decreased. HE HAS I'tttMtl and offers it. He told ills heaters how tbo advent of a probable change Ip the tax law to pro vide for higher valuation* was hailed with delight by the taxeaters and that they knew only too well that once per mitted to increase valuations their troubles tw secure all the money they wanted were over, notwithstanding the advocates of anew law promised lower rates and that no event except something extraordinary should the total collections under the new law exceed those made under the old law-. And there be showed the real effect of this new panacea for all Ills In a man

ner long to be remembered by the victims, of the same. He had with him selections made at random from the tax duplicate showing what the taxes were under the old law, the one that was repealed because its opponents saw it was unfair and unjust. In comparison he showed how much more they were under the first rate levied under the new law, and finally showed how enormously much more they would be next year under this same so-called equitable, fair tax-reducing law passed by the Inst Republican. Legislature. “Don’t, take my word for it,” he said, “but get yoqr spring tax receipts, which contains the appraisement of your property ; multiply this by the rate fixed for next year and then If you are still willing to let well enough alone, to say ‘well done, good and faithful servant,’ I ftfiVen't anything to say except that by helping to continue this sort of Republican management, you are cutting off your nose to spite your face. “But if you want to get out from under the load eventually, support the Democratic candidates, who are pledged to repeal this unjust law, this monstrosity, this excresence on the body politic.” ‘FIGHT IT OUT,’ SAYS TEACHER Hoys Settle Dispute by Principals Theory. | ' -V CHICAGO, Oct. 2(1.—80y I’ troubles are settled best by letting them fight it out, according to the practical philosophy of Miss Alice M.
