GOVERNORS PUSH prohibition a: : :;i[ie (Continued From Page 1) the nation’s prosperity is the purchasI lng power of the farmer's dollar. | "Farmers in North Dakota are | losing as much as 62 cents on every bushel of wheat they raised this year. | Federal aid for the agriculturists in ! their time of stress is necessary.” Intense in Northwest Most of the Governors Indicated agricultural depression was more In tense in the Northwest than in any part of the country. A general feeling of prosperity was reported from the cotton regions of j the South. | The conference got away to a late start Wednesday. The first session was scheduled to be called to order at 2 o’clock, but the auto caravan did not arrive from Indianapolis until late In the evening. A heavy rain and slippery roads de layed the progress of the Governors from the Hoosler capital. Governor J. M Dixon, pngslding at | today's session, endorsed the plan for relief of the wheat farmers proposed i by Governor Nestos and called for a general discussion of the problem. Prohibition Pushed Aside The Issue of farmer relief complenty pushed the prohibition queatiorff>y the boards at the session. Pro hlbitlon has not yet been formally taken up for consideration by the Governors, and only once or twice has it been mentioned. “Far more important to the welfare of the country than prohibition is the danger of absolute bankruptcy facing the farmers,” declared Governor Walker of Georgia. “Before we talk of further steps to tighten the prohibition enforcement laws we must find out what wo are going to do for the farmer.’’ The Georgia executive severely scored the Governors of Industrial States for “their complete Indifference to the distress of the farming States, which, if not relieved, will undermine their own property." “The unequal distribution of profits growing out of the farmers' crops Is the most unjust thing In the Nation today,” he continued.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Dr 4 , Marie Hasiep, President of School Board, Regrets Slash of Special Building Fund, but Plans to ‘Make the Best of It.’

£ity and school officials, while admitting that reduction of proposed tax levies by the State tax board woujd cripple their program, said today that all plans would be carried out as far as possible. Reductions made included a slash from $1.0075 in the school fund to 82.26 cents, a 2-cent cut in the board of health general fund and a halfcent in the city park fund. “Naturally I am disappointed that the levy which we intended to use for high school extensions has been cut down,” Dr. Marie Hasiep, president of the school board, said. ”1 believe the thing to do is to go right ahead with all four projects, a new Shortridge at Thirty-Fourth and Pennsylvania Sts., Manual Training, a new West Side high school and the establishment of a colored high school, and make the money go as far as possible. We must not permit necessary school development to drop behind any farther than it is now.” Blames Old Debt. "We will accept the cut and go right ahead doing the best we can with the money at our disposal,” Charles Bookwalter, president of the park board, qpmmented. “We only asked for the increased levy in order to get us out of a debt left by the last administration.” Approximately $1,364,000 will be saved Indianapolis taxpayers in 1924 by the 22 cent levy slash imposed by the State tax commission, a computation today shows. By action of the tax board, the total IndianapolisCenter township levy has been reduced from $2.70 on each SIOO of taxable property to $2.48, a reduction in tax receipts from $16,740,000 to $16,376,000, officials of the board figured. Most important in the list of reductions enforced by the tax board was on the proposed 17.8 cents special building levy by which the Indianapolis board of school commissioners had hoped to accomplish the rebuilding of Shortridge High School, the remodeling of Manual Training High School, the building of anew West Side High School and a colored high school and to take care of Interest on bonded Indebtedness on eight new primary school buildings. School C ity Program Slashed The ifur board reduced this levy from 17.8 cents to 8.95 cents, nearly a 60 per cent cut. It was the opln-.

ion of tax officials that this levy should bo distributed two years instead of one. In the school city levy the board also reduced the tuition item from 58.7 cents to 51 cents, the library levy from 5 8 cents to 5 cents, and the teachers’ pension levy from cents to one-fifth of a cent. The school city program, as drafted by the Indianapolis board of school commissioners, suffered the heaviest cut of all the items protested against by the Indiana Taxpayers’ Association, an 18%-cont slash. Each cent of levy is computed to raise $62,000. which will mean the school city will undergo a program curtailment of $1,147,000. Park Fund Gef Ax In the civil city levy, the tax board made the following reductions; Park fund reduqed from 8 cents to 7% cents; 1 cent flbod prevention fund completely eliminated. Tax officials reduced the general health fund of the city board of health from 12 cents to 10 cents. This out, it Is understood, will be questioned Inasmuch as County Auditor Leo K.

COURTHOUSE ROOF AND COURT WRITS IN MERRY BATTLE Lakes of Water Drip Upon Records as County Officials Fret, Being theoretical bosses of a windy, leaky old courthouse, built in 1874 and of all its roomy halls is no mean job, three county commissioners conceded today. Especially if there are nine county judges who consider themselves bosses of their particular bailiwick, and if they have the power to manlate a fellow to find anew room when here is no room to find, or get up tnd mend the roof when it is still raining. And with about eleven other county officials howling for more rooms to stack books and stenographers in or face some more court mandates! Move Records to Bum Room? ”1 want the room where Sheriff Snider has his office, and if I don’t get it I’ll have to get a court mandate,” County Recorder John Castor informed the commissioners today. "Then I’ll take the back room now occupied by the county clerk with a lot of old records,” agreed Sheriff Snider. “We’ll move the old records upstairs to the bum room," decided the commissioners. * “Say, I need all the room I’ve got. what with all the increases in divorces and insanity cases,” protested County Clerk Albert H. Losche. “If sheriff tries to taks this one. I’ll get out an injunction." And Then It Rained Commissioners today had ten jail prisoners renovating a room on the fourth floor of the courthouse to accommodate the Marion County library, the present site of which will be turned over to Juvenile Court Judge Frank J. Lahr on threat of mandate. Superior Judge James M. Leathers Is finishing $2,500 repair work on his courtroom which was done under mandate of the board.

WASH YOUR KIDNEYS BY DRINKING WATER Flush your kidneys by drinking a quart of water each day, also take salts occasionally, says a noted authority, who tells us that too much rich food forms acids, which almost paralyze the kidneys in their efforts to expel it from the blood. They become sluggish and weaken; then you npay suffer with a dull misery In the kidney region, sharp pains in the back or siok headache, dizziness, your stomach sours, tongue Is coated, and when the weather is bad you have rheumatic twinges. The urine gets cloudy, full of sediment, the channels often get sore and Irritated, obliging you to ‘seeks relief two or three times during the night. To help neutralize these Irritating acids, to help cleanse the kidneys and flush off the body's urinous waste, get four ounces of Jad Salts from any pharmacy here; take a tablespoonful In a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys may then act fine. This famous salts Is made from the acid of grapes and lemon Juice, combined with lithla, and has been used for years to help flush and stimulate sluggish kidneys; also to neutralize the acids In the system so they no longer Irritate, thus often, relieving bladder weakness. Jad Salts Is inexpensive: cannot injure and makee a delightful effervescent Uthla-water drink. By all means have your physician examine your kidneys at least twice a year.—Advertisement.
