GOVERNOR DENIES EXTRAVAGANCE IN STATE EXPENSES Branch Declares Reports of High Costs Are Propaganda. Governor Emmett F. Branch, in an address before the Republican State convention today, pledged the party to a continuance of a prograija of better roads, better schools, better care of the State's wards and necessary improvements for State institutions. In an address bristling with figures to show the comparative cost of State government during the last two Democratic administrations and the two Republican administrations following, Branch declared the burden of State salaries and other operating expenses had been ■ lightened under Republican leadership. Expenses Cut “For State operating expenses the State taxpayers paid the sum of sl,534,254 in the last year of the Ralston administration," Branch said. “By operating expenses we mean salaries, light, heat, etc. In 1921, the first year of the present administration, you were taxed $998,200 for the same purpose. It cost the taxpayers $536,000 less for government’s operating expenses in 1921 than it did in 1916. “The Democrats cry that our taxes are too high and lay the blame on the Legislature of 1921 and 1923. It is the same cry we heard in the campaign of 1922. They fail to tell you that in the Legislature of 1921, with possibly one or two exceptions, every member of the Senate, every Republican and every Democratic member, voted for every appropriation made. In their condemnation of the laws of 1921 they have never singled out one law they would repeal.” Denies Reports Branch declared the total expenditures of the first fiscal year under the present administration were 9.494,000, and not $13,648,000 as had been represented. He said a total of $3,750,000 in that year was handled by the State as a matter of bookkeeping and turned back to county school funds or to. the different circuit and superior courts. “The Democrats do not mention that in 1921 tve spent 51.424.C00 more for educational purposes than in 1916 and $1,350,000 more from taxes for the benefit of the State wards,” Branch said. “For these and other similar purposes "we spent in 1921 $5,167,824 more than we spent in the last year of the Democratic administration. “All this was necessary and went for the highest purposes. No one, be he Republican or Democrat, could object unless he be an Ingrate.” Turning to the construction of the new reformatory at Pendleton, Branch said the Democrats had made a political football of the institution and defended its construction on the grounds that the old reformatory at Jeffersonville was antequated and in need of vast expenditures for repairs.

Lower Rates Cited The pubUc service commission Wednesday introduced evidence to show freight rates which it set for interstate traffic were lower than intrastate rates, in the case before Superior Judge Linn D. Hay in which several railroads allege the intrastate rates are too low and will result in a $1,000,000 annual loss. The roads seek to have the commission’s intrastate order set aside.

MOTOR BUS LINES ONLY IN INFANCY Not a Substitute for Trollies, but a Supplement, Bp Time* Special DETROIT, May 22.—“ The motor bus is making a. definite contribution to civilization in linking together sections in both city and country which cannot economically be served by rail.” said Myron E. Forbes, president of Pierce Arrow Motor Car Company, speaking at the World Motor Transport Congress of the National Automobile Chamber of Commerce in Detroit Wednesday. “Although a recognized member <?f the transportation family with 51.0 )0 units in use in the United States, the bus is only in its Infancy. Only in the last few years has the specially designed bus chassis been developed. Most of the 51,000 busses in the United States are passenger cars or trucks, often fitted up with roughly improvised bodies. “More than 1,200 motor busses are now owned and operated by street railway companies, an increase of 300 per cent in twelve months. “There has been much discussion as to whether or not the motor bus will leplace the trolley car. ' The final answer to this can be determined only by future experience: bea- in mind, however, that during 1923 street railways of the United States carried more than sixteen billion passengers and you will unquestionably come to the conclusion that the motor bus is not a substitute for, but a supplement to, the railway line.”
