CITES VALUE QF PORTQRICANS Roosevelt Urges They Get Business Posts. Bu Times Special NEW YORK, Aug. 4.—The United States government and big business interests are ignoring an invaluable asset in their dealings with LatinAmerican countries by failing to use the thousands of educated, intelligent and loyal Porto Ricans who are available as their envoys among the nations to the c cuth. This is the assertion of Theodore Roosevelt, Governor of Porto Rico, made in an article appearing in the August issue of the Review of Reviewsi “In my opinion, American concerns doing business in South and Central America should strive, for their own interests, to find young Porto Ricans to represent them there. I believe, too, that we should have in our diplomatic service more representatives of the island,” says Governor Roosevelt. Although the little island has a population of only 1,500,000, it “can play a role in our future out of all proportion to its size,” he believes, by serving as the liaison between the United States and LatinAmerica.

SALARY CUTS FOR 8 COUNTY JUDGES LOOM $2,500 Slash far Each Is Considered in Budget Preparation. BY EDWARD C. FULKE Reduction bf salaries of eight county judges is being considered by county officials in preparation of the 1931 budget, it was learned today at the courthouse. The reductions, if carried out by the board of county commissioners, provide that each five superior court judges, probate judge, criminal court judge and juvenile court Judge, will receive $2,500 less than the salaries in effect this year, SIO,OOO each. The total cut would decrease government costs by about $20,000. “Commissioners and myself have talked this matter over several times in the last few months,” County Auditor Harry Dunn said today. “We ha ,r e done nothing definite about it as yet,’’ he added. Clash Is Blamed The slashing, if executed as proposed, will affect every judge except Judge Harry O. Chamberlin of the county circuit court, whose salary is fixed by the legislature. Commissioners fix the county’s share by adopting a resolution signed by a majority of the board. Salaries of judges must be re-fixed before Dec. 31 this year, at which time the present resolution expires. The state legislature fixes a definite salary for county jurists at $4,200, leaving county commissioners the right to appropriate funds from $1 up. Marion county this year pays judges $5,800, while the state pays the stipulated $4,200. Observers at the county building blame the reduction move to the recent clash between judges and commissioners, which ended in a grand jury investigation into the then alleged destruction of a county record pertaining to a raise for court reporters. Retaliation Charged The eight judges in question appeared before the grand jury against three members of the board of commissioners and Dunn. Dunn, the judges said, was charged with the safekeeping of the alleged missing record. The grand jury later absolved each of the officials of blame in the pay record muddle. Politicians term the contemplated reduction of the jurist’s pay as a retaliation by county officials suspected during the grand jury quiz. Commissioner John E. Shearer, board president, today refused either to verify or deny statements mads by Auditor Dunn. “I haven’t a thing to say about it as yet,” he said. The board probably will split” in regard to the cuts, it is known, with Commissioner George Snider declining to approve the reductions. Shearer and Charles C. Sutton, it was reported, constitute the majority faction, and are said to favor reducing the salaries.

Denial of published reports that county commissioners have fixed the free gravel road tax rate for 1931 at 2*2 cents, was made today by John E. Shearer, board president.

RAY SEEKS TO STEMjAMBLING Creation of City Regulatory License Advocated. Creation of a city regulatory license for all cigar stores and soft drink parlors was advocated today by Captain Otto Ray of the city license bureau, as a means of curbing law violations. Revealing that many operators of questionable pool rooms had evaded the new pool room ordinance by removing the pool table from the building, Ray pointed out the need for some control over such places. Indianapolis gamblers still are selling horse racing and baseball pool tickets in poolrooms and elsewhere, Ray declares, citing the difficulties encountered by police in obtaining convictions in gambling cases. “Police must have a warrant to make arrests in baseball pool and horse racing cases and it- is difficult to obtain a witness to a sale of the ticket,” Ray declared. “From what I see and am told I think conditions in poolrooms are greatly improved over what they were before adoption of the new ordinance, which contains some teeth.” Ray pointed out that a small license for regulation of soft drink parlors and cigar stores would g; ve the city power to control activities, revoking the license on conviction of the operator for law violations.
