TAX RATE BATTLE ENTERS ITS LAST STAGEINSENATE Question of Surtaxes Up for Action—Odds Favor Democratic Plan, ttv United Press WASHINGTON. May 3.—The tax rate battle to determine what every one will have to pay the Government next year, entered its final stage today. Mellon’s plan supporters brought the question of surtaxes —the keystone of their plan—before the Senate for action. Only three important points remain to be acted upon—income rates, eorpo. ation taxes and the inheritance levy. How Factions Stand The Mellon plan adherents are ready to compromise a maximum surtax rate higher than 25 per cent going as high as 35 per cent, it is said. The Democrats have a graduated scale which runs up to 40 per cent on big incomes. One group of progressives want 50 per cent as a maximum, but their chances looked slim. Senator Medill McCormick has a graduated scale scheme that was up to 37 per cent. (The house passed a 37*2 per cent provision). . The odds, however, favor the Democratic rate of 40 per cent. Similarly the Democrats seem to have the edge on the normal tax rate on small incomes with their 2 and 4 per cent provision. The Republicans are standing for 3 and 6 per cent and say they will refuse to compromise. Defeat Radio Tax Regarding the corporation and inheritance taxes, the lines appear to be about evenly divided. Both plans will raise about the same amount of money. The radio tax of 10 per cent was wiped out by a 40 to 13 vote, thus repudiating the recommendations of the Senate Finance Committee. This lopped off another 1 10.000,000.

METHODISTS RAP SMITH CANDIDACY Say ‘Bee’ Can't Be Preserved in Alcohol, Bv United Press SPRINGFIELD. Mass., May 3. Candidacy of Governor A1 Smith of New Y’ork came in for a grilling as the thirty-fourth quadrennial conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church resumed here today. Smith, if he should be elected, would prove “untrue to his oath of office,’’ the Rev. Clarence True Wilson said in an address urging rigid enforcement of the national dry laws.

The secretary accused Butler of "presidential aspirations himself,” and added that “the presidential bee cannot be preserved in alcohol.” CHURCHMEN BAN WAR Evangelical Conference Pledges Delegates to Agencies of Peace.

Broph later explained to police: “If I had refused and she had screamed and charged me with insulting her, how much chance would I have had in court against a pretty girl?”

CITY SCHOOL FOR MAIMED CHILDREN IS DIG URGED 1 Public Health Nursing Association Behind Move to Aid Cripples, , While Indianapolis has cared for its blind, its deaf and its mentally deficient, it has let its crippled children languish at home, growing up without education, to become dependent upon their families or the community. Today a definite movement is under way by the Public Health Nursing Association to have established, by fall, a school for crippled children. The proposition will be put before the school board some time this spring, Miss Edna L. Hamilton, superintendent of nurses of the P. H. N. A., said. “There are more than 350 crippled children in Indianapolis from babyhood to 16 years old,” Miss Hamilton said. “About 100 of these are of school age. About thirty-five are in school, but do not have the special care they need. The others either have attended school, but are out now, or never have 1 been well enough to go. “The school for cripples should have special rooms with seats that would allow them to wear the necessary braces.” The program should include periods and hot lunches. A and a vocational director would be needed. Means of transportation also would be necessary SOUTHERN PRODUCE HURT BYJTORWIS Market Standholders See Rise in Strawberry Prices, City market standholders are speculating on just how much effect recent storms in the South will have on southern shipped products.

Green peas, 35 cents a pound, and green beans were 25 and .30 cents.

ACTION ON SMITH ,■ BELIEVEDILLEGAL Branch Withholds Decision on McCray Appointee. Although withholding decision, Governor Branch considers appointment of Oscar B. Smith to public service commission by former Governor Me* Cray, void. Attorney General U. S. Lesh was to give a decision on the matter late today. The Governor, however, will not take formal action as to legality of retaining Oscar Ratts on the commission until after a decision on the Indianapolis Water Company’s suit for injunction against the commission in Federal Court. Then Branch may name Frank K. Singleton, now his secretary, it is said. / Ratts’ term expired May 1, but he is still retaining office. Smith, armed with his commission, called upon members of the commission for recognition and to participate in its Friday aftemcAlw consultation, but was not recognized. When Branch makes his formal decision, Ratts will continue in office until the Governor appoints a successor.
