RUM ISSUE MAY BE VOTED UPON BY DEMOCRATS Terre Haute Party Leader in Move for Action by Convention. BY BEN STERN The scene, not unfamiliar, of the man juggling the hot potato, will be staged by the Democratic state convention, if present plans of Richard Werneke, Terre Haute party leader, materialize and he wins adoption of a platform plank calling for a referendum on national and state prohibition laws. Werneke proposed the referendum plank at the meeting of the platform advisory committee Wednesday at the Claypool. No cries of Joy went up when Werneke made his recommendation and Mrs. John I. Gwin, Rensselaer, former Tenth district vice-chair-man, declared she opposed injection of the prohibition issue in the campaign. Appoints Subcommittee However, John S. McFaddin, Rockville, chairman of the advisory committee appointed a subcommittee to go thoroughly into the referendum question and then make recommendation to the platform committee. Werneke was selected to head this committee. When John Frederick, Kokomo manufacturer, who believes the majority of the laborers are dry, learned about the Werneke proposals late in the day, he declared "it would be dangerous to the best interests of the Democratic party to inject the wet and dry issue in the 1930 campaign. “We should wage our fight upon the economic conditions,” he said. Very little discussion featured the meeting of the advisory committee of twenty party leaders, educators, labor representatives and bankers. “Are we going to take action on the question of a constitutional convention?” asked Addison Drake of Fairbanks, but it was the sense of the conference that the party ignore this question in the platform. For Taxation Step McFaddin declared some definite and concrete steps be taken regarding taxation. “We have never said anything that meant anything in our platform tax planks in the last ten years,” McFaddin asserted. “All that we have done is condemn the state tax board, advocate local control and we got nowhere.” Attention of the committee was called by former congressman, George Rauch of Marion, to the work being done by the state tax survey committee. “This tax survey committee is going to suggest ways and means of raising new revenue without changing the constitution,” he said, "and the subcommittee on this phase should take into consideration the work being done by the state organization.” Closer supervision of state banks was asked by Rudolph Ackerman, South Bend city controller, who declared the neglpct of the state banks in the Thirteenth district largely was responsible for the failures there. Discuss School Aid George C. Cole, Dearborn county school superintendent, member of the Governor’s state school aid commission, and Albert Free, Spencer school superintendent, discussed school. Cole presented a proposal for a plank which would ask the state to fix the length of the school term, minimum wages for teachers, and a minimum standard curriculum. He

SCHOOL BOARD OPPOSES BOND APPEALSYSTEM Taxpayers Group’s Program Is Declared Reflection, Waste of Time. Opposition to Harry, Miesse’s program of protesting to the state tax board all proposed bond issues of any governmental unit in Marion county was voiced by members of the Indianapolis school board Tuesday afternoon. 0 t The school board members had been ordered to appear before the tax board upon petition presented by the Indiana Taxpayers Association, of which Miesse is secretary. Protests Bond Issue The petition protested the proposed $182,000 bond issue for construction of anew building for School 81, Nineteenth street and Brookside avenue, to replace the old building at Seventeenth and Rural streets, and for new boilers atT School 15, Michigan street and Beville avenue. The board proposes to spend $165,000 for the buildipg and $17,000 for the boilers. Tentative approval of the bond issue was given and the school board ordered tp receive bids for the tax board to review. President Russel Willson of the school board demanded that in tne future, Miesse be required to show some cause for filing a petition of protest. Reflection on Integrity He said the practice of ordering the school board to appear reflected on its integrity, in his opinion, and was • a needless waste of the members’ time and a delay to the school prbgram. Phil Zoercher, Democratic member of the tax board, took up the cudgel in defense of Miesse and the tax board plan of review. He said it was a matter of check and doublecheck, and did not reflect on the school board membership. He also said that this is the first attack made on this provision since the law was passed, although the matter is awaiting decision in the supreme court on appeal from South Bend. Miesse’s organization has that “appeal everything to the tax board” rule in effect only in Indianapolis, it was pointed out. \ Clothing Thett Is Reported Theft of clothing valued at $325 from a cleaning and pressing establishment operated at 1022 Brook street by George Brown, Negro, was reported to police today.
