CUT IN COUNTY TAX LEVY FOR 1931 MATED Council May Reduce Rate 1 1-2 Cents With $117,000 Budget Slash. With demands for tax reductions pouring in from all quarters, county councilmen indicated today that next year’s rate will be 36 cents, a l’--cent decrease from the current rate, due to curtailed expenditures in budgets of most county offices and institutions. Recommendations of county commissioners, and Harry Dunn, county auditor, to clip an additional $117,000 from budget figures as tentatively fixed, will be followed by the council at the Sept. 2 budget session. Slashes will cut into the pay envelopes of numerous minor county officers, despite promise of court suits by employes touched by the economy ax. Judges Salaries Cut Survey of budgets, on ■which commissioners and Dunn Thursday fixed a tentative 38-cent rate, is being made by civic organizations, groups of taxpayers and industrial heads. Commissioners and councilmen today said groups will be asked to attend the council session when budgets are scrutinized. After being fixed by the council, the budgets will be submitted to the state tax board for a survey. The state board may lower the rate, but is not empowered to increase the levy. Salaries of eight county judges and the circuit court judge were pared f rom SIO,OOO to $7,000 in a resolution adopted Wednesday by commissioners and Dunn. State Pays Part Cuts were made under the 1927 act of the legislature, which provides that the state pay $4,200, leaving commissioners authority to fix an additional amount from $1 up. Reductions will be effective Jan. 1, 1931, with exception of Circuit Judge Harry O. Chamberlin, whose pay will drop in 1933. Judges included in the order are James M. Leathers, Linn D. Hay, William O. Dunlavy, William S. McMaster and Joseph M. Milner, criminal judge who succeeds James A. Collins; Probate Judge Mahlon E. Bash, Frank J. Lahr, juvenile judge, and Chamberlin.

3 GAS STATION HOWS FAIL Inexperienced Bandits Lose Nerve in Attempts. Three inexperienced bandits vainly attempted three filling station robberies Thursday night. The gunmen first drove into the twin bridge station, at Kentucky and Oliver avenues. George Inman, 25. of 1397 Russell avenue, noticed them with coat collars upturned and caps pulled down. When they commanded him to come to the car he ran into the station and closed the door. x . , . Thirty minutes later the trio lost nerve when Carl Leetern. 622 Somerset avenue, attendant at the Shell filling station, Pershing avenue and Sixteenth street, spied a revolver in the car and ran into the station. As the bandits drove twice past the Gaseteria filling station, Michigan street and white river boulevard, Joseph Boesing, 656 East drive, Wodruff Place, and Audrey Pleak, 321 East Tenth street, attendants, obtained revolvers and stood in the doorway. Or the third trip the bandit car speeded up and one occupant yelled: “Shoot, you—.” The bandit car sped away. <lt was stolen early in the night from a parking place near the city market. It was owned by Mrs. W. H. Lynn, 1930 Central avenue. SEEK DRAMA TITLE Nine Playgrounds to Vie for Honors.

Cap Hatfield

Survivor of Many Battles Fails to Meet End With ‘Boots On.’ Du In it I'd Press BALTIMORE. Md., Aug. 22. William Anderson (Cap) Hatfield, 67, of Logan, W. Va. last of the “Hatfield-McCoy feudists,” died at Johns Hopkins hospital today. The cause of his death defied the diagnosis of specialists in this and other cities. Hatfield arrived at the hospital Tuesday, and Wednesday he lapsed into a coma from which he did not rouse. Hatfield was 17 when, in 1880, the famous Hatfield-McCoy feud on the West Virginia-Kentucky border flared into life after a lawsuit between the families over the sale of a few pigs. He, with cousins, brothers, uncles and other relations, were called into battle against the Kentucky McCoys, and the long fight waxed stronger every day as reports of deaths of members of both* families, slain from alder thickets in the mountains, filtered back to civilization. The Governors of both states were drawn into the controversy, and refused to extradite members of the opposing clans. The feud ended when the McCoys moved back to their home state, the Hatfield family claiming the victory.

LESLIE ADVISED TO GET RID OF HIGHWAVJjROUI 1 , Muncie Manufacturer in Protest Over ‘Living Up of Income.’ BY DAN A. KIDNEY • Let Governor Harry G. vote his time to obtaining a commission that will live wtthin its income and discourage pub licity about the plight of southern Indiana farmers, was dvl o c ® f c ° " tained in a letter to the chief executive today from W. F. s^ nc ®'' secretary of the American Lawn Mower Company, Muncie. The governor answered the letter at once, and assured that the danger of the state niaku g a $1,000,000 loan now is passed. Leslie stated today that the certificate of indebtedness plan for paying road contractors so as tn release highway department funds for southern Indiana road work still is being worked out. Matched by U. S/Aid The money will be matched federal aid, he said, on projects ap proved federal aid roads bureau The state has an unclaimed balance of $2,000,000 in federal aid funds, making' the total available, when qualified for, of more than $3 000,000. The state expects to get at least $1,000,000 of these funds this fall, he said. It is understood that the certificate of indebtedness plan is not meeting with much enthusiasm from state highway officials. The department has a deficit of more than $2,000,000 now, and the present setup for drought relief will put them farther in the hole. They had hoped to get $2,000,000 cash for relieving drought-stricken farmers by roadwork and, perhaps, relieving some of the highway indtebtedness. Thinking About Deficit This deficit w‘as what Spencer had in mind when he wrote the Gover- ; nor today. | “This whole issue is being clouded ; and made an excuse to relieve the I highway commission, and I wish to protest emphatically against the issuing of bonds or tlie borrowing of money in any other form to be placed at the disposal of the highI way department,” the Spencer letI ter stated. The highway department has plenty of revenue from the 4-cent gasoline tax, he pointed out, and, said when the 1-cent tax raise was voted by the 1929 legislature, it was said that it would furnish sufficient revenue to complete the state paving program in five years. “I do not believe that the farmers of the state of Indiana are going to leave their farms and find relief in working for the state highway department,” the letter con- | tinued.

Not Skilled Workmen “If they did. they would not b3 efficient workmen in that department, as they are not skilled in that class of work. Any scheme of this kind can only result in an increased burden of taxation, and in spite of all the hue and cry about the taxes paid by the farmer, the burden eventually will fall on the manufacturers of the state." Spencer then pointed out that it must be borne in mind that Indiana manufacturers must compete with those in other states and to increase taxation is to increase the production costs. “I believe the real farmer in the state of Indiana is attending to his own business and not asking for. any relief,” the letter declared, and continued, “If the politicians would quit trying to make capital out of his misfortunes he will come out. of this drought all right, the same as he has out of similar experiences in the past. “Farmer as Lxcuse" “I sincerely trust that you will use the power of your office to have the state highway commission operate within its income and not use the poor farmer as an excuse for drawing next year’s funds, or increasing taxation in any other way.” Leslie pointed out in his reply that drought relief will be carried on without additional obligations to the state and reminded Spencer that the manufacturers were given “hundreds cf millions” of tax money to asist industry in the 1890's. \ PROBE FIRM'S DEALINGS Investment Company Restrained From Further Securities Moves. Bb‘ United Press NEW YORK, Aug. 22.—While au* thorities in Fulton and Oranga counties today sought William Edgar Willard, head of an investment company which has been restrained from further dealing in securities, local officials were investigating Willard’s records and books.
