ITEST PLAZA MARGES MM Hiring action Jjß/ Accounts Board Report B on Memorial Made i Public.- ■ Asa result of changes in the original specifications of the American Legion building in the Indiana World War Memorial Plaza, following award of contracts, more than <70,000 was added to the cost of the structure, it is disclosed in a heretofore unpublished report made on the 10b by field examiners for the State ioard of accounts. Definite action is expected soon by Attorney General Arthur L. Gilliom •n the reports which Was submitted o him some time ago by the board. In the report are numerous charges against Walker & Weeks, Cleveand (Ohio) memorial architects. These are being studied in conlection with the penal clause of the ’laza act. Some of the facts disclosed were ■reed in the trial early in October, if Frank R. Walker and Harry E. Weeks, members of the architects’ lirm, by the State enginering board, which resulted in revocation of Weeks’ license to practice in InJana. Walker, however, was allowed 10 continue his memorial work. One of the new points brought out ss the use of $4,533.31 worth of Coniuo Base, a metal baseboard, the inventor of which is*Armen H. Tash jian, engineer for Walker & Weeks. The Hatfield Electric Company, subcontractors on this class of work, obtained the material from the United Metal Products Company of jpanton, Ohio. By altering specifications after bids originally were received, use of any other type of kaseboard was precluded, the exliminers charge. I When Ta3h.iian testified at the clearing last October he admitted ■eceiving 7% cents royalty on every lineal foot of Conduo Base marketed. Original specifications on inside partitions of the Legion Bldg, were altered after original bids were opened, the report charges, with a result that no competitive bids were received on large portions of the interior structure. This act, the examiners say, prevented them then from determining whether the new specifications were more or less expensive. Original cost of the entire contract, $345,570, was boosted $71,983.91, through specification alterations, the examiners allege. In connection with the report, the examiners, A. D. Walsh and B. B.

CALIFORNIA IN ‘LANDITCOTTON’ Crop Equals Raisin, Prune Production. Bv Times Special SAN FRANCISCO. Dec. 30. ‘‘Way out West in the land o’ cotton” Is.the way they hope to sing it in California soon. This State has moved into the cotton belt. The California cotton harvest is Just about in, and to the surprise of even Californians, it appears as a major crop. Th*-winter’s cotton harvest will total $16,500,000. It equals the raisin crop and the prune crop, and is crawling up to the headliners —alfalfa, oranges and grapes. Cotton now covers 150,000 acres in California, stretching from the Mexican border In the Imperial Valley to the rice fields of the Sacramento Valley. It has produced what amounts to a bolm in the lower San Joaquin Valley, rescuing the valley from the disaster that came with the breaking of the raisin market.

HOUSE RULES PERIL TARIFF CONSIDERATION Democrats Endeavoring to Force Issue to Front This Session. rime^Was^Ot^ureau^ WASHINGTON. Dec. 30.—House Democratic leaders are determined to force some consideration of the tariff at this session of Congress, despite Republican determination to keen the issue quiet and permit no changes in the present high tariff rates. Representative Hull qf Tennessee, has introduced a bill to repeal the socalled “flexible” provision of the Fordney tariff act which permits the President to change rates In the schedule. Representative Oldfield of Arkansas, earlier introduced a bill to remove the reciprocal tariff of 53 cents a ton on coal between Canada and the United States. Removal of this tariff would permit importation of Canadian coal at lower prices to meet American needs, he said. Act Is Bombarded These bills will be follo’wed by several others, hitting at various other provisions of the act. Hull in a statement accompanying his bill, denounced the flexible provision as "unworkable,” and said COLDS THAT DEVELOP INTO PNEUMONIA Persistent coughs and colds lead to serious trouble. You can stop them now with Creomulsion, an emulsified creosote that is pleasant to take. Creomulsion is anew medical discovery with two-fold action; it soothes and heals the inflamed membranes and inhibits germ growth. Os all known drugs, creosote is recognized by high medical authorities as one of the greatest healing agencies for persistent coughs and colds and other forms of throat troubles. Creomulsion contains, in addition to creosote, other healing elements which soothe and heal tho infected membranes and stop the Irritation and Inflammation, while the creosote goes on to the stomach, is absorbed Into the blood, attacks the seat of the trouble and checks the growth of the germs. Creomulsion is guaranteed satisfactory in the treatment of persistent coughs and colds, bronchial asthma, bronchitis and other forms of respiratory diseases, and is excellent for building up the system after colds or flu. Money refunded if any cough or cold is not relieved after taking nccordlng to directions. Ask your druggist. Creomulsion Compnny, Atlanta, Ga.—Advertisement.

It had only been used b y President Coolidge to Increase rates, although the understanding at the time the tariff act was passed was chat all rates were “plenty high” and that the President’s power was given so he might reduce rates found too high. “It has been most unfairly, not to say fraudulently, administered, and Is subject to grave constitutional question,” he said. BUI Given Committee He estimates the total tariff burden under the Fordney act to be not less than $2,500,000,000 on the American people, and points out that, unlike the Income tax, the tariff imposae more of a burden on the poor and on people of average means than on the rich. Hull’s bill was referred to the Ways and Means Committee, where It may be pigeon-holed. Under the “gag rules” adopted by the House
