We Will Help You to Save Safely Jflrtrljrr £rust Company OBREGON PLANS MESSAGE ON U. S. Will Bare Negotiations Relative to Recognition. MEXICO CITY, Sept. I.—President Obregon was prepared today to send an important message to Congress dealing with the negotiations that have been proceeding between the Mexican foreign office and the American State Department relative to reeogntion. Congress was scheduled to convene in regular session, following a brief vacation, and belief was strong among the members that reeogntion will Le accorded by the United States before adjournment is taken. The president's message already has been prepared and it is understood to deal with the proposed treaty of amity and commerce as well as the negotiations. The opinion prevails in official circles that ths way is rapidly being cleared for an understanding. There was no session of the American oil representatives and government officials. They will not be renewed until Friday. AMENDMENT NO. 1 O. K.’D BY LEGION Adoption Urged by State Commander. A statement urging the passage of the proposed No. 1 amendment to the State constitution, which would require every Toter to be a citizen of the United States, was given out today at the headquarters of the Indiana department of the American Legion. The statement was issued by n K. Gignilliat. department commander. The legion is actively supporting this amendment and the department has requested every post in the State to encourage its passage. The commander's statement follows: “As commander of the Indiana Department of the American Legion, and as a citizen of Indiana, I wish to most earnestly and urgently petition the voters of this State to give their careful thought and attention to the proposed amendment No. 1, to the constitution of this State. “May the importance of this requirement of suffrage be made clear to every one. Certainly the right of the ballot should be restricted to those who are qualified to be citizens and declare themselves such. All owing allegiance to a ft. reign government should be prohibited from exercising a voice in the conduct of our Government. “Indiana is one of four States in the Union which dots not require full citizenship of its voters. Citizenship curries with it the right of franchise. In Indiana the citizen of another country should not have the same prerogative as the man who is native horn. It is unAmerican and undignified. I sincerely hope the people of this great commonwealth will see the grave necessity for protecting our suffrage privileges and will take steps to check the encroachment of alienism before our political life is dominated by it.” RALSTON TALKS ON AMENDMENTS Lobbies Would Influence Taxes Says ex-Governor. Opposition to the proposed amendments t f the Indiana Constitution which would jive the Legislature unlimited power over matters of taxation and which would make the office of State superintendent (f public instruction appointive Instead <1 elective was expressed by Samuel M. Walston, former Governor of Indiana, In e talk before the Bible Investigation Club at the Y. M. C. A. last night. Mr. Ralston pointed out that the taxation amendment would make the tax system of the State subject to the changing whims of Legislatures and would make the Legislature subject to powerful lobbies. lie added that the amendment would leave the way open for such nn extreme measure as the suspension of the right of injunction. In referring to the amendment concerning the office of superintendent of public instruction Mr. Ralston said would result in making the office a part of the “spoils system.” He said the contention that the appointment. Instead of the election, of a superintendent of public instruction would raise Indiana's standing in educational ranks, is a fallacy. Shelby County Boy Wins by Hard Work Special to The Times.

SCHOOL LEVY IS SET AT 93 CENTS IN COMING YEAR Board Also Adopts Plans to Erect Buildings Without Bond Issue. MAY CAUSE TAX FIGHT Establishment of a 93-eent tax levy for the coming year, approval of a budget providing for expenditures of $9,282,371,28 duriag the fiscal year ending June 30, 1922, and the adoption of a plan by which part of the cost of new buildings 'or Shortridge High School on the north side high school site, Thirty-Fourth and Pennsylvania streets, and Schools Nos. 27 and 70 will be raised by direct taxatior instead of by the sale of bonds as has been the custom in the past, marked the two special meetings of the board of school commissioners held yesterday afternoon and last night. The Increase in the tax levy from the old rate of SO cents was made necessary by the decrease in the tax valuations of Indianapolis, Increases in teachers’ and librarians’ salaries, Increases in the number of buildings In use, the necessity of employing more teachers, more custodians, etc., and the adoption of the plan of providing part of the cost of new buildings by direct taxntlin. TAXPAYERS LEAGUE MAY FIGHT LEVY'. This increase tax levy may precipitate another battle between the board and the Taxpayers League of Indiana before the State board of tax commissioners as the law provides that any ten taxpayers may protest to the State board and demand a public hearing. This protest, if made, must be filed not later than Sept. 26. The law also requires that the school board set a date for a public hearing and this date was set last njght for the evening of Sepi. 13 at 8 o'clock. Seven cents of the 93-cent levy is apportioned to new structures and will produce about $410,000. It Is expected this money will be spent for architects' fees, preliminary expenses and some excavation and foundation work at the new Shortridge, at No. 70, Central avenue and Forty-Sixth street, and No. 27, Park avenue and Seventeenth street. This plan will at least make possible the starting of work and it begins to look at last as if alumni and friends of Shortridge, who have felt that their school was being discriminated against in favor of Arsenal Technical and Emmerich Manual Tra'nlng High sctools. will see the first steps taken toward the realization of their dream of years within a relatively short time. MEETING MARKED BY NO BITTERNESS. The meeting was marked by a harmony and unanimity of opinion seldom seen at a school board meeting within the past year and was in marked contrast to the bitterness that developed Tuesday night when the board adopted ty a vote of 3 to 2 a resolution declaring Its Independence of the State board of tax commissioners, as far as man-

The 1 recommendation and motion that the 7-cent levy he adopted was made by W. D. Allison, chairman of the finance commimttee. and was seconded by Charles L. Barry, also a member of that committee. These two members have been regarded generally as opponents of the building program of the board. Both expressed themselves strongly in favor of the 1-jvy. A comparison of the division of the levy for the coming year and for the year just ended is as follows: 1921-22. 1920-21.

The kindergarten fund will amount to about $53,000 and the teachers pension fund to about $35,000. Budget figures showed an increase lr, almost every department over those f the past year.

New buildings must be erected, additional pupils enter school as result of the natural growth of the city, and all this makes it necessary to employ additional teachers, custodians, etc. At a recent meeting of the board E. U. Graff, superintendent of schools, stated that the average for about fifteen years showed that the increase In enrollment amounted to about 1,000 annually.
