SAYS BARRETT LAW LOSS MET BY TAXPAYERS Pre-Payments Cause Deficit Each Year, Raub Declares. Sooner or later, Clarion County taxpayers must meet the deficit in the Indianapolis Barrett law fund existing as a result of pro-payments of assessments, Democratic Councilman Edward B. Ilauh Said today. Interest earned by the pre-pay-ments, under Ftederal and Marion County Court rulings defeating in effect, the intent of the law, goes to the county treasurer, ex-officio city treasurer. While the treasurer takes this interest, outstanding bonds are costing an equal amount of interest which the public ultimately must pay. Raub and Lawrence F. Orr, State board of accounts chief examiner, investigating the system, estimated the treasurer gets from $45,000 to $60,000 a year under the arrangement, incurring a slightly smaller deficit in the fund. The fund never has been exhaustOHIO MINISTER INDORSES THE NEW KONJOLA Suffered Rheumatism, Kidney and Nerve Disorders; Pays High Tribute to New Medcial Compound.

REV. W. F. BRAY drug store, corner Pennsylvania and Market Sts., Indianapolis, where suffering and ailing men and women call daily to find out about this surprising medicine that has been accomplishing such unusual results in the larger centers of population through the Ohio valley in instances of stomach, liver, kidney and bowel disorders and catarrhal and rheumatic troubles. ‘‘Since the fall of lf*lx, when I had a nervous breakdown, I have continually treated myself and taken many dtiedicines, but never have I fo'UiCt --anything to equal the Konjola,” says Rev. W. F. Bray, whose home is at 1108 Malvern Ave., Middletown, Ohio, (near Cincinnati), in a which he issued as public indorsement of this celebrated Konjola medical compound. "I suffered severe attacks of backache and kidney Troubles for years; I had rheumatism, and nearly all my life I have stood the misery of hemorrhoids and constipation,” continued Rev. Bray. ‘‘The trades I followed through life were more or less strenuous. I was a farmer, a millwright, a stone mason, county ■surveyor, and for twenty-one years I have been a minister of the Gospel. My health began to go down after my spell in 1917, and I really bevarne so bad that I was actually given up to die. my heart acted just

enough to sustain life. I was in a weakened condition and my kidneys , and bladder refused to act at all. I used cathartics regularly. My physical energy and strength left me, so I just became a “set-in” waiting for the end to come. For the past seven years, at regular intervals every season, I suffered with the troubles 1 have described. Hundreds and hundreds of nights I never laid down—my pains were so agonizing that I knew I couldn't sleep. When winter came I returned to Middletown, my home, and there I found Konjola. The druggist told me he had never known a medicine to be like it. Well, Sir, the time of year was close when I usually had those spells of severe suffering, but I went past the period without the slightest discomfort. Here it is past winter, and I’ve . gained flesh and strength and so much more vigor that I’m actually anew man. Os course, I have taken several bottle of Konjola, and the way it has built up my entire system and restored my health is really astounding. I believe in giving credit where credit is due, so I would be glad to have you publish my testimony, and use the photograph if you think it advisable. Be- , sides this, I will also be glad to tell -anyone personally about the improved health I have enjoyed since taking Konjola. It has been a sound 1 blessing to me.” The new Konjola preparation is a medicine of such unusual efficacy that it is believed to be just what thousands of sufferers have needed years to actually reach their | cases, and for stomach, liver, kidney and bowel disorders, as well as rheumatism and neuritis, it is declared that no suffering person can afford not to try it. The Konjola Man is at the Hook drug store, Pennsylvania and Market Sts., (the busiest downtown section in Indianapolis and the easiest to get to), where he is daily meeting the public and introducing and explaining the merits of this remedy. Free samples given. Konjola is for sale also at the other Hook drug stores located throughout the downtown section.— Advertisement.

; ed under this system because each year more bonds are floated, some of which will not be due for ten years, others which will not bq due for nine years, others for eigjit, and so on, and the prepayments of assessments by property owners who first elected to pay in instalments keeps moyfey l n the fund, although the tqmi Would not be large enough to meet all claims. , The fund is created by the Barrett law, giving property owners the : privilege of paying for street, alley, sidewalk and sewer improvements in twenty installment payments, over j a period of ten years. The coni tractor is paid for the improvement , with bonds issued in the amount of | the collectible installment payments. | Prepayments are made by property owners to escape paying interest on * their unpaid balance for the entire I ten years. A 1-cenU tax levy was levied in j 1915, Raub said, to meet the deficit. ! Since it has been cut to a 4-mill tax. i Neither are large enough to wipe | out the deficit, Raub said. Not Law Intent ! Taxing all property owners to pay ! for the deficiencies of the Barrett law system, he said, was not the intent of the law, which provided the interest on outstanding bonds be paid by returns on the investment in interest-bearing securities by the city controller of assessment prepayments. But Federal Court held the fund was not public money in 1908 and restrained the then treasurer and his successors from depositing the funds in a public depository, where the controller could get it for the purpose of investing it. When Barrett law bond interest comes due, it is paid out of the fund. Therefore, pre-payments hav-\ ing been made, more money is paid out of the fund than is paid into it.

SMASHING VICE IN PHILADELPHIA (Continued From Page 1) although, to be sure, there were many times when I doubted him. Even now, however, I cannot understand how he expected to advance politically, as he often confided to me that he hoped to do, employing such insincere and ridiculously apparent tactics —siding with the strong and the rich against the poor and weak in an issue so vital. Neither army was deceived by these tactics. Only the people who elected him-were deceived. Price of Honesty The cause of honest, vigorous, impartial law enforcement is more important than any individual advocating or combating it. Citizens cannot know the treatment to which honest public officials are subjected. Telling of my two years' experience in Philadelphia may he enlightening. If these articles serve that purpose ard more people are led to support such public officials, then my effort will have been worth while. I want to tell the ‘‘constructive” story of the progress made and the lessons learned. I will he fore a! to toll unpleasant experiences as well; to tell of the efforts of high and trusted officials to interfere with my work, of the means used to have rne favor certain privileged interests —interests privileged because of their social, financial or political power. : Donates Ilis Pay I will not accept any payment for this work. I want to help the movement for decency in Philadelphia.

their oath of office, are harassed and harmed by politicians or privileged Interests. I was brought to Philadelphia and instructed to divorce the police from politics. When I left, the word was passed around that those policemen who had been loyal to me—and their oath of office —and who had refused to comply with the demands of politicians, were to be "got.” Trust Fund Made These honest, loyal policemen must not he harmed. The trust fund is to be administered by a group of Philadelphia newspapermen, whom I know to he honest and capable, and who cannot be swerved by promises or threats. I have selected these men, first because they were among the few Philadelphians who stood openly by me in this fight, and second because, without being public officials, they are fully aware of any injustice visited upon policemen. While George W. Elliott, named as my successor, remains in control, all will he well with the police. I X)redict, however, that he will be dismissed if he forces the treat-’em-alike issue to the front, unless the mayor changes his spots. If Elliott is dismissed the honet policemen will then be in danger and this fund perhaps useful. Unless frustrated by decent citizens, Congressman Bill Yare will frighten the mayor into dismissing Elliott before the opening of the Sesqul-Centennial in June, when it is desired to have the city wide open to make the mayor's exposition successful.
