LESLIE RETURNS TO STUDY TAX BOOST FIGURES Considers Appointments After Absence of Several Weeks. Governor Harry G. Leslie returned to the statehouse today, after an absence of several weeks, to find his desk piled with appointments needing consideration and figures from which he will obtain aid in deciding the state tax rate. Necessity for a 6 or 7-cent increase in the present state rate of 23 cents is conceded. Decision will be made soon by the Governor, members of the state tax board, state auditor and state treasurer. Seeks Teachers’ Post Among the first callers at the Governor’s office, upon his re’turn, was Estes Duncan of Cloverdale, wiio seeks the post of O. H. Greist, Winchester, as executive secretary of the Indiana state teachers’ retirement fund. He held the post before Greist was appointed, under the Jackson administration. Duncan is said to have Leslie's approval. The decision is to be made at the meeting of the state board of education, Sept. 13. William A. Hough, Greenfield, chairman of the state tax board, also w r as among the callers, but failed to see the Governor before noon. His term expired Sept. 1. He has been a member of the board for the last eight years. Calvin Faris. Muncie, parliamentarian of the house of representatives, and James Showalter, Wabash, are mentioned as possible successors to Hough, with the former holding the post position. Will Not Comment The Governor refused to comment whether or not Hough will be reappointed. Alfred E. Hogoston, state fire marshal, is scheduled for reappointment Oct. 1, and it is reported that numerous changes are being made in his personnel staff so that the retention of the post will be assured. Rollie Granger, one-time prominent Ku-Klux Klan worker, is said to be the next on the schedule to leave Hogston's office, several others having been shifted recently. Leslie has been slow on making appointments and it may be that some of these positions will hang five, as did the adjutant-generalship for many months. Police Quell Strike Rioters Hi!
