DON’T EXPECT MUCH DROP IN COUNTY’S RATE Based on Present State Rate, It Would Be $2.28. COMMISSIONERS MEET The problem of determining the county tax rate for 1922 will be decided by the Marion County Council at the annual meeting of two days’ duration, which begins tomorrow morning in the county commissioners’ courtroom. The council has the power to accept, increase or decrease the county tax rate as proposed by County Auditor Leo K. Fewer. Mr. Fesler will urge that his figures he accepted because he is mindful that the State tax rate will be Increased. Mr. Fesier, in recommending to the council a budget totaling $1,514,5TS for next year and a county levy of 27 cents as compared to the present rate of 31*4 cents, hoped to offset the expected raise in the State levy. Mr. Fesler, on the eve of the meeting of the council, admits it is almost a certainty the total rate In Indianapolis, Center and some townships will be Increased by a higher State levy. It would not be surprising, he said, if the State levy is increased from £0 to 27 cents. RATE CAN’T GO MUCH LOWES. Even based on the present State levy and considering the city rate and the rate 1 that Mr. Fesler will recommend to the county council, the rate would be $2.38 for next year as compared to the present rate of $2.42. An increase State tax rata of even a small amount would result In an increase in the total tax rate for Indianapolis-Center. Although the present Republican Admlnlst 'ation lias attempted to trim the budget for next year an deurtail other expenses, it becomes evident as the time for the council sessions nears that regardless of Mr. Foster's efforts to decrease the county rate, the expected increased State rate will off-set this reduction not only in boosting the total tax rate in In-dianapolis-Center hut some other townships. Even figuring on the 20-eent State levy ' Basis, West Indianapolis faces an increase from $2.43 to $2.63; Irvington-Warren may have a reduction from $2.74 to $2.00, and Indianapolis-Washington may be increased from $2.04 to $2.09, according to Mr. Fesler. “The main thing which accounts for the increase in West Indianapolis, figuring on a 20-cent State basis, is their concrete road bonds,” Mr. Fester s.ated. In Irving ton-Warren no concrete roads have been built lately, which explains a probable decrease in the rate for next year if the State rate is not boosted too high. There is every indication the council will engage in some lively debate over requested appropriation items for running certain branches of the county. A warm debate is expected over an item in the budget of $22,000 as salary of courthouse employes, Including the custodian, janitors, a matron, elevator man, watchman and others. This tremendous figure for cleaning and guarding the courthouse is only $3,000 less than 13 asked for heat, light, water asd power for the courthouse, jail, garage, power-house and street. The courthouse Janitor By stem, if it can be called a system has been nothing more or less than a means for the Republican party paying off “political debts” to negro political workers. Most of the Janitors at the courthouse are negroes and all of them are very active in politics at election time. The political “king bee” of the courthouse employes is Benjamin Peirce who is a Shank Republican and closely allied with both the Republican nominee for mayor and President Carlin Shank of the county council. President Shank, it is said, has his political eye cast on the county recorder's job as he graduated from master into tho commissionership. $1,855 A MONTH JANITOR SALARIES. At present the total pay roll for courthouse employes amounts to $927.50 for a two-weeks period. The pay roll which was allowed for the period from Aug. 15 to Aug. 31 totals that amount. Os that amount, Mr. Peirce as custodial received $75; John Appie as repairman for county automobiles, SSO; Ezra Storms as file clerk, $37.50; Marie Seller, as mator, $45 and John A. Fox, as elevatorman, s<s. The following fifteen janitors each received $42.50 each: John Crittenden, John Crenshaw, James A. Paul, Effe Grissott, Henry Levy, Henry Frazier, Spencer Clifton, George Yanthis, H. P. Parker, Robert Rolford Frank Caldwell, Tober Alexander, Mike Lewis, Harriet Vlemmones and Daniel Lee, making the total paid for janitors alone per month, average $1,295. For some time, County Councilman Russell T. Byers has been studying the janitor problem at the courthouse to determine if the council should advertise for bids and award a contract for janitor service Instead of the present system which is nothing more than a plum tree to be shaken to pay political debts for petty politics. It la expected Councilman Byers again will suggest to the council that steps be taken to award the janitor work to competitive bidders. It is argued the enor--mons present cost would be reduced to a point which would compare with the large office buildings. A year ago, the county councilmen indicated they were interested in such a plan, but did not take the leap which would have ruffled the political waters. During the past twelve months, there has been considerable protest against tho dirty conditions of the courthouse. Up to the summer months, following these protests, the courthouse has been In a little better shape, but during the past three months, cettain parts have been filthy. Even a few days ago, there was loud protest over the extreme insanitary condition of the men’s toilet It is argued a contract awarded on competitive bidding will remove the petty political aspect of the anitor situation. It probably will take a lot of “blasting” beforo this political plum tree is uprooted, it is claimed. Another point of possible controversy is the proposed increase in the salary of County Surveyor John Griffith from (2,400 to $4,500 and the assistants in the office from a total of $3,000 to $12,250 ,or a total Increase in the salaries of the surveyor and his assistants of $11,350. Under the head of charities, the Indianapolis Humane Society is asking for an appropriation of S3OO. Indications are the aouncllmen will be controlled by the law this year. It is thought such an appropriation from county funds is Illegal. There are other numerous items which may invoke a heated argument. The first session of the council will begin at 10 o'clock Tuesday morning, •and the final session at the game hour the following day. Hartford Man Gets Army Appointment Special to The Times. HARTFORD CITY. Ind., Sept. 5.—L W. Haney, an assistant in the office of the county surveyor, went to Camp Perry, Ohio, Saturday, to report for duty as r second lieutenant of infantry. He served during the World War and last spring passed uja examination for commission in the regu Irmy.

Chicagoans Have Beerless Holiday CHICAGO, Sept. s.—Mr. Volstead's beer blotter put Chicago on a near beer basis for the first time in six months over Labor day. The boys from the desert to whom Chicago was an oasis, found the “good” beer spigot turned off. Prohibition agents apparently had cut off the source of supply for the hundreds of Chicago saloons which sold real beer.

VIRGINIA MINE WARFARE (Continued From Pace One.) stnlt'al commission for over yton of coal mined and In tho sovprsl years he has held office is said to have amassed a fortune. MINGO PARTLY ORGANIZED. M'ngo. where renewed trouble threatens, is now partly organized. A strike has been on for nearly two years. Strikers evicted from company houses are living In tent colonies. That this long fight can he carried on so bltterl; la explained partly by the character of the natives of West Virginia and eastern Kentucky. They are mostly of pure Welsh aud Scotch stock. They probably- are the most Independent people In the country and somewhat out of touch with the rest of the world; hare kept up the practice of settling their own disputes without recourse to law. Nearly every man and boy believes It his inalienable right to pack a run If he wishes. These miners have come to regard the State and those county authorities who have not actually sided with them, as Inherent enemies. This is because the authorities hove been against the union. The operators are proud of the fact that during the last coal strike th-*ir mine* kept running. They say they saved the country from a disastrous situation when all union mines were shut down. The unions furthermore have been unreasonable at times and are prone to cause trouble over the most trivial details. These arguments are used by the operators as a basis for their determination to prevent unionization and to maintain the mine guard system. Union miners and practically every common citizen In the fields are determined on an opposite course. With the arrival of Federal troops, miners are hiding their guns and ammunition to be ready for tbe next war. Another wave of wild rumors and a case of actual brutality by a mine guard and It will be on unless the Congressional Committee does something about It. Other miners are surrendering their arms and returning from the “front” without interference —often on specla! trains. Federal officers are in command and

MILLER TELLS WHY BERGDOLL MONEY SEIZED Alien Property Custodian, in Address to American Legion, Answers Critics. Special to Indiana Daily Timas and Philadelphia Publio Ledger. NORFOLK, Va., Sept. 3.—Congressional critics of the action of Thomas W. Miller, alien property custodian, ia seizing the property of Grover C. Bergdoll, Philadelphia draft dodger, were answered Saturday night In an address Mr. Miller made here beofre the American Legion. “We would have been derelict in our duty had we not carrie dout the la v.” said Mr. Miller, and he characterized the Bergdoll case as a stain upon the previous Administraflon of the War Department. “I observe that some of our statesmen in Washington during the debate on the peace resolution,” said Mr. Miller, “questioned the action of the alien property custodian in th* Bergdoll seizure. Let them not forget that an enemy under the law Is one who resided in Germany or Austria-Hungary during the war an! who was no: protected by war trade board license. Such is Bergdoll’s statue. The fact that he has broken two law# in this country at two separate times, under two different conditions, does no! make him immune from either of them. When law is right and will not suffee, then might is right. This is our answer to our critics, and I welcome tho opportunity to deliver it before such aa assemblage.” Discussing ths problem which tho Harding Administration faces in caring for the disabled soldiers. Mr. Miller said s “Public opinion controls Congress, and If public opinion will become aroused it will not be necessary for the disabled saviors of our land to fight the Government and its bureaus for what they so richly and justly deserve by sentiment as well as by law.”—Copyright, 1921, by Public Ledger Cos.
