CITY CALLED ON TO HONOR LABOR DAY HERE MONDAY Mayor, in Proclamation* Cites Advantages of Indianapolis, Mayor Shank today called upon people of Indianapolis to cooperate in observance of Labor day, Monday. Labor leaders are planning an elaborate program at State fairground starting at 10 a. m. and ending with a fireworks display, depicting history of unions,.at night. E. J. Henning, first assistant secretary of labor, and W. B. Wilson, ex-secretary of labor, will speak. Henning will represent Secretary of Labor John J. Davis. Smith in Charge The program will be in charge of John E. Smith, president of Central Labor Union. Following mass meeting in the I grand stand, group meetings will be | held throughout the afternoon. There ] will be a special exhibit of union j label products in Manufacturers' building. One of the afternoon harness races will be named the Labor I day committee’s stake. The Proclamation Mayor Shank’s Labor day proclamation: “Today it takes just six hours for labor to convert a growing forest tree into a paper, printed and sold on the street. Formerly it took months for labor to do this very thing. Labor is progressing. “Within a short time a national child labor law will be enacted. Labor is developing. “We have come to an industrial consciousness so that capital and j labor are now joining hands In service of a country which they both love and which they recognize as their sovereign. Capital and labor are talking more to one another and j a little less about one another. They mutually condemn acts of hostility. , Labor Is moving forward. Labor’s Inspiration "Labor has taken such a promi- ; nent position In our national life that i the first Monday in September has been dedicated to its honor. So I proclaim, Monday. Sept. 1. 1924, a legal holiday in the city of Indianapolis. “This wonderful city of ours, covering more than 159 square miles, has become noted for its lack of un- i employment, and on account of its diversified industries has the name of a panic-proof city. Indianapolis has more homes per 1.000 people than any city in the United States, for it has been calculated that In I every working hour of every working day work is begun on one or more new homes. Sixty-five per cent of bur people own their homes and our city is heralded as a city of contented. home-owning, working peo- j pie. Statistics show Indianapolis Is high in the Jist of cities in per capita wealth, as the wealth here Is widely distributed. All of these things are an inspiration to labor. "In honor of this Labor Day. let us remember as the poet has said: ‘This Is the gospel of labor — Ring it, ye bells of the kirk. The Lord of Love came down from above To live with the men who work. This is the rose that he planted here In the thorn-cursed soil— Heaven is blest with perfect rest, ! But the blessing of earth is toll.' “Let each of us faithfully give our support and our personal help to this day and what it stands for.” RELIEVES BABIES, helps grown-ups, comforts elderly people. For summer complaint, weakening diarrhoea—use CHAMBERLAIN’S COLIC and DIARRHOEA REMEDY Take in a little sweetened water. Never fails.

REALTORS HEAR TAX BOARD HEAD Convention Will Close With Election, By United Press lUMMOND, Ind., Aug. 29.—The total cost of township, city, county and State government in Indiana has Increased more than six times since 1900, John J. Brown, chairman of the State tax board, declared today in a speech on “Some Tax Problems’’ before the eleventh annual convention of the Indiana Real Estate Association here. In 1900, the total cost of government In Indiana was approximately $22,000,000, while during 1924 the cost will total approximately $124.000.000. Brown declared. Brown said it Is important the public be educated to the tax problem, which Is one of the greatest problems the public has to face today. The increase in the cost of government cannot be attributed oO much to extravagance on the part of public officials, although, he said, there is some extravagance, as much as to the necessity of public officials to keep up with rapid pace of progress in making expenditures for modern improvements. Highways and common schools are two of the largest items in governmental costs, he declared. Money paid in taxes for common schools was multiplied . over six times from 1900 to the first of this year, while during the same period the cost of highways was multiplied more than eight times. In 1900 the cost of State government was 12 per cent of the total cost of government in Indiana, while in 1922 it was reduced to 9 per cent. The convention of realtors was to close today with election of officers. ORPHANS GIVEN TREAT FVee Rides at Riverside Amusement Park.
