FEDERAL AID DENOUNCED Senator Lindley W-qnts State to Repudiate Road' Money. Denouncing Federal aid for State roads as unfair, needless and merely a cause for increasing taxes. Senator Lindley, Kingman, Republican, said today he will introduce a resolution next week in the Indiana Senate protesting against the system and asking that Indiana refuse her portion. “A certain sum is set aside at Washington for each State, and to get our share we have to meet it dollar for dollar,” said Lindley. "If we don’t raise it, through taxes of course, we lose our part. It is either raise the State tax or do without the Federal aid. Each State contributes its pro rata share of Federal taxes, from which the Federal aid is Collected.” Other Senators are opposed to Lindley, on the matter. They say it is a matter to be settled by Congress. Patrolman’s Home Burns Overheated furnace fired the home of Patrolman Elmer Branch, 408 E. St. Clair St. Damage was slight.
