LESLIE SCANS 8-CENT HIKE IN STATEJAXES Higher Budget Is Viewed by Governor; Grant Him Auto. Budget appropriations entailing an 8-cent increase in the state tax levy sounded the battle signal today for legislative forces to any increase in property taxes. Carrying an increase of $5,003,911 over the biennial appropriation measure of two years ago, the current appropraition bill was being scrutinized by Governor Harry G. Leslie today and made ready for early introduction in the house of representatives, possibly today. It carries appropriations of $55,008,445, representing $24,378,774 less than was asked by the various department of state government and state institutions. Running his eye down the list, Governor Leslie found his request for $150,000 for anew mansion unanswered, but found solace in a grant of $4,800 for anew automobile. Picture Not Rosey The budget report furnished conclusive evidence that the state’s financial condition is anything but the rosy picture painted by former Governor Ed Jackson when he retired from office. The caunted $4,000,000 balance wil have dwindled to nothing by the end of the current fiscal year and an increase in the tax rate from 23 to 31 cents made ; necessary to restore state expenses' to a sound basis. A $200,000,000 decrease in property valuations of the state, aggravated the situation, the budget committee’s report sets out. “The present valuation of property assessable for taxes is $5,128,852,C45,” said the report. “This at the present rate of .1045 (for the general fund) should produce $5,358,760, and poll tax collections should add about $325,000, a tax total of $5,683,760, leaving a deficit of $4,016,240. This deficit, if pro-

vided entirely by property tax, would increase the present rate at least 8 cents.” Reductions in the general fund tax rate in 1927 and 1928 clipped down state revenues while reduced valuations doubled the effect of the reductions, the report recounted. Increase School Funds The state highway commission, which asked for $40,000,000 for the two years, was given an allowance of $12,470,000 a year, as compared with an average $11,250,000 a year appropriated two years ago. In addition, it may spend all the revenue from the gasoline tax and automobile license fees received above this amount. Indiana and Purdue universities each were allowed $1,400,000 annually, representing an annual increase for each of $225,000 The normal school at Muncie was allowed an additional SIIO,OOO a year and the one at Muncie an added $65,000 a year. An appropriation of $229,000 was made for construction at the Indiana state prison, $70,682 for construction at the state reformatory and $392,000 for remodeling buildr ings at the Central Hospital for the Insane in Indianapolis. Although appropriations in all instances were far less than amounts asked, a total increase of $526,783 is recommended for all state departments, and a net increase for all state institutions of SI,OOO a year. The predicted 8-cent tax rate boost takes into consideration the probability of special legislative appropriations amounting to $500,000. Enactment of other bills carrying appropriations from the general fund or by special levy would raise the rate above the prospective 31-cent level. 18 ARAB ALIENS SEIZED Immigrants Found to Be in This Country I'iegally. By United Press STEUBENVILLE, 0., Feb. B. Eighteen native Arabs rounded up by United States immigration inspectors at Weirton, W. Va., and charged with being in this country illegally, were to be questioned here today. The Arabs said that most of them were former seamen who deserted ships off the eastern coast and swam ashore, evading immigration examiners.

POPE AND ITALY PATCH UP OLD BREACHJMAY Signing of Treaty to Open Vatican Doors Will End 58-Yi;ar Schism. • By l nited Press The spiritual empire of the Roman Catholic church will acquire a recognized temporal body Monday. Signing of a treaty of reconciliation by representatives of the pope and the King of Italy marks the end of fifty-eight years of estrangement, and will make Feb. 11, 1929, a notable date. The events leading up to the “voluntary imprisonment” of the popes really began in 1848 with the early efforts of the Italian statss to throw off the yoke of the Hapsburgs of Austria. For more than 1,100 years the popes had been recognized as the temporal, as well as the spiritual leaders of central Europe. The Holy Roman empire of the German and Austrian kings had endured for centuries by might of arms and the moral support of the popes, and had maintained the papal states of Italy as the particular sovereignty of the pontiffs. The one line of kings that had never wavered in its loyalty to the pope was the house of Hapsburg, rulers of Austria. When, in 1848, rebellion against Austrian rule broke out in the Italian states under the leadership of Charles Albert of the House of Savoy, Kiftg of Sardinia, Pope Leo IX was faced with the problem of de-

ciding whether to support his immediate neighbors and subjects in demanding Italian freedom, or to remain loyal to his friends, the Austrians. He chose the latter. Charles Albeit was defeated decisively by the Austrian general, Radetzky. The wrath of the Italian patriots turned upon the* pope, who was forced to flee in disguise. Thereupon the republic of Rome was proclaimed by the defeated Italian patriots, and an assembly decreed the downfall of the temporal power of the pope. The treaty with Austria, signed in 1849, brought Pope Leo IX back to Rome to resume nomnial temporal power under the protection of Austria. % Then arose Giuseppi Garibaldi and his “red shirts,” and years more of war. Victor Emmanuel was proclaimed King of Italy in 1861, but his throne was shaky. The Vatican was guarded by 25,000 French troops. The FrancoPrussian war forced Napoleon to> withdraw his troops in September, 1879, whereupon General Cadorna reached the walls of Rome and marched into the city. Before Victor Emmanuel established his government in Rome, however, he had passed a law of guarantees, under which the pope was assured the enjoyment of his full prerogatives as a sovereign, his property was exempted from taxation, and he was to be given an income of 3,225,000 lira. The pope refused to accept the income or to acknowledge the law. Thus he established the policy which has endured for fifty-eight years. 1 When, in July, 1871, King Victor Emmanuel entered Rome in state,, Pope Pius IX shut himself in the Vatican and never since then has a pontiff left the grounds. The passing of years cooled the old hatreds, but in the absence of official reconciliation, each successive pope remained a voluntary prisoner in the Vatican grounds.

WINTER’S WORST BLIZZARD GRIPS NORTHERN U. S. Region From Rockies to Lakes Feel Fury of Storm. By United Press CHICAGO, Feb. 8. —States from the blizzard-swept west to the icelocked waters of the Great Lakes today were in the grip of one of the worst winters in recent history. While the inter-mountain west fought to clear highways for traffic and break snow barriers which have isoluated several towns, Great Lakes vessels and ice-breakers drove their way through huge ice packs seekingrefuge from gales and blizzards. The blizzard which swept out of the Rocky Mountains two days ago apparently varied its course to dodge the., middle-west and strike through the northwest and upper lake regions. Chicago, victim of eight sub-zero waves since the new year, relaxed in warmer temperatures and light snow. But on the western rim of the icy circle Colorado, Utah, Wyoming,

Idaho and Montana endured death j and suffering. Blizzards disrupted rail and airmail services, tied up highways and caused numerous traffic injuries. Even sunny California felt the touch of winter, temperatures dropping within a few degrees of freezing, setting new record cold marks. California citrus growers prepared to smudge to their frops. Wyoming and Utah felt the full fury of the blizzards. The villages of Farmington, Utah, Craig and Silverton, Col., were isolated; nearly fifty automobiles were stalled between Salt Lake City and Park City, Utah, nine snowslides smothered the rails of the Denver and Rio Grande railroad forcing cancelling of all schedules, and with the exception of workers, residents throughout the west were confined to their homes. The Denver and Rio Grande tracks were buried under a 75-foot snow slide near Silverton. and officials said it would be useless to employ plows for another week. The gales swept southward as well as east, affecting even the milder regions of New Mexico. Temperatures generally clung below zero. The Texas Panhandle reported freezing temperatures, as did sections of Arkansas and Missouri. ANSWER FALSE ALARM A false alarm sounded when a burglar signal in the Pettis dry goods store was short circuited early this morning sent a police squad to the store. The store’s safe was robbed of $6,500 six weeks ago.

Turney M. Cuflningham, husband of his illicit lover. Quinn, globe-trotting mechanic, was arrested allegedly for "beating’* a board bill after state’s attorneys had sought to impeach his testimony by accusing him of forgery, violatiori of the Mann act and complicity in a dynamiting. The ‘‘surprise” witness had testified freely in direct examination that he saw Liggett shoot Cunningham at the latter's home and that Liggett fired only in self-defense. Cunningham and a detective had trapped Liggett and \'rs. Era Cunningham in a love tryst. Prosecuting attorneys had little use for Quinn’s refusals to answer questions and stubbornly inserted their veiled accusations against the witnessed character into the records of testimony. Quinn plainly was concerned over his reception by State’s Attorney Seth Walker.
