SHRNK USKS'HOW GOME' DEGREASE IN ASSESSMENTS With $18,000,000 in New Buildings Last Year, Valuation $20,000,000 Lower. \ MAY BOOST 1923 LEVY Mayor Declares Few Big Stores and Corporations Get Off Easy. ■'How corn# a $20,000,000 decrease In the assessed valuation of Indianapolis property when $18,000,000 worth of new buildings were put up last year and rents are still higher than the sky?” Inquired Mayor Shank today. Faced with necessity of increasing the tax levy in 1923 or curtailing governmental functions, the mayor set out to inform the town it is going to have to pay more taxes on the SIOO of assessment in 1923 than this year because “a few big stores and corporations have been assessed far below their true valuation.” • He Invited the Merchants Associa tion to send a delegation to his offic* and then sent to the assessor’s offict for the figures to show them. “It’s not the small property ownei who got his valuation reduced. Heaver knows I’m assessed $29,000 for prop erty I paid $26,000 for,” said his honor. “Take Stoughton Fletcher’s quarter block across the street there (from the city hall). He’s assessed $lll,OOO on it and he won’t take a cent less than $200,000 for It. Would Send Experts “The trouble is In the assessor's office. They sent $2-a-day men out to place valuations on million-dollar property. What do they know about it? If I had my way I would send out experts who could go through the books.” City Controller Joseph L. llogue informed the mayor the finance, law, purchasing, plan commission, board of works and board of safety departments are asking for a total of $4,386.987.03 for 1923, an increase of $398,628.31 over 1922. The health department wants $484,200, or $69,050 more: recreation department, $1 j£,389, which is $1,060 less: park department, $525,573.80, or $75,668.28 more, and sanitary department. $312,000 foj operation, or $6,000 more, as well as $92,124.09 for bonds. In addition around $500,000 for various sinking funds must be provided. Increase Seems Certain With mo: e money to be raised and the valuation cut from $595,000,000 to $575,000,000 Hogue could see nothing but a substantial increase in the city levy.

PATSY M'MAKON TAKES COUNT IN GENEJUELEE Lightweight Boxer Will Not Appear Against Douglass in Fort Ring. AND THEREBY HANCS TALE Free-for-AII Fight at Jack Dillon’s Camp—No Weapons Barred. There’s a story in what happened to Patsy McMahon, lightweight boxer. He was due to meet Phil Douglass of New York in the ring at Ft. Harrison Thursday night. But today It was found that a pinch hitter will enter the ring In his stead. And thereon hangs the story. The whole of it is not known but this much is vouched for: There was a ''pUftty” at Jack Dillon's camp on White River, about ten miles north of the city, Sunday night. Patsy was there, and Jimmie Watts, a local featherweight, and Cecil Williams, a taxi man, and Joe Shea, Tommy McDuff, Tom Breen, Charlie McMahon, Pawl Crosby, Denny Griffin, Frankie Martin and Jack Dillon —all names that mean something, if you are a follower of local fight activities. Wield Wicked Weapons About midnight there was a fight. Fists, clubs, a gun, blackjack and broom were said to have been wielded with impartial hands.

Time for Action —McCray TO THE PUBLIC —The time has come for parleying to cease. Action is now demanded. The United Mine Workers have refused to issue permits to a sufficient number of their men to mine coal for State Institutions. The call for coal for thrashing and for canning operations is constant and insistent. Many cities and towns are about out of coal to provide water and to generate current for light and power. The coal bins of the State are empty. Industry is threatened. The time has come to test whether these conditions must he endured because the coal producing agencies as now organized refuse to function together. Coal is a basic necessity of our modern civilization and it is the duty of the State to see that it is supplied. There is less than 1 per cent of our total population directly responsible for the production of coal. The question is now, shall the rights of the other 99 per pent of our people he completely Ignored? Have we reached a point where we are tied helpless and powerless by a negligible minority in a matter of such grave concern and of such universal Importance? Is our boasted freedom and liberty a sham and a farce, subservient only to the autocratic demands of a few? Shall we admit our Government Is breaking down and the rights of majorities are no longer to be considered? Shall the inherent and Inalienable rights of man to earn his bread and support his family by honorable labor be denied because a meager minority, selfishly struggling for power, decrees otherwise? As chief executive of the great State of Indiana, answering for the 99 per cent of obr citizenship, I declare that these conditions will exist only so long as it takes to put machinery In motion to produce coal under State supervision. . ask all loyal, patriotic citizens to support this policy and give it their absolute and unqualified approval. I hope it will not be necessary to mine coal under such conditions for any great length of time. However, while the purely technical and local question of whether the operators and miners meet id State of Interstate conference Is being settled, I propose that the rights of the 99 per cent of our citizens shall be protected. WARREN T. M’CRAT, Governor of Indiana. State House, Aug. 1, 1922.

Pageant Editor at once. Speak right out from the shoulder. Give your own ideas. The following letter speaks for itself: Times Pageant Editor: I notice that you are trying to find the representative Indianapolis girl to : attend the Atlantic City pageant In September. I hope the judges will not select a girl who has bobbed hair, because, to my way of thinking, bobbed hair fails to reflect the natural beauty and charm of the representative Indianapolis girl. Neither should she rouge her cheeks or pencil her eyebrows, because na ture unadorned is the real beauty Pretty manners serve like a frame tc a pretty face and figure. The real Indianapolis girl Is one whose hair is not bobbed and one whe does not use rouge and the eyebrow pencil. AN INDIANAPOLIS FATHER.

NATIONAL POLICY BAR TO PLAN Representative of Men Declares Fuel Situation Not So Desperate Contradicted by McCray. C'oal will be mined in Indiana under State supervision “as soon as machinery can be perfected, ” Governor McCray declared today in a public announcement on the expiration of the five days given the miners and operators to settle the strike. The statement was issued following a conference with Harold A. Henderson, counsel for the miners. He delivered the reply of the union officials refusing to comply with the Governor’s request that they release a sufficient number of men to dig coal for emergency purposes. Indications at the State House were that the machinery could be put in motion within a few hours. In his letter to the Governor Mr. Henderson said the organization was unable to comply with the request because of the policy adopted by the national organization in March in which no special provision was made for the mining of coal for State institutions or utilities.

Henderson expressed confidence before he interviewed the Governor that a strike settlement would be effected quickly and satisfactorily. He said he was in possession of Information to the effect 'that certain coal operators had signified their willingness to enter into interstate conference with miners in line with John L. Lewis' invitation. The operation of the mines by the State probably would make necessary the transfer of the National Guard from Camp Knox, where it is In training, to the coal fields. It is understood plans for this transfer have been completed. The GovemoVs program may also contemplate a special session of the Legislature to repeal the law making it necessary for employes In mines to be licensed. The Governor set forth that the
