COUNTY FUNDS DEFICIT LAID TO C. 0. P. REIGN 1 " New Council Adopts Thrift Program; Scores Lax Control in Past. Marion county’s Republican administration today stands charged with violation of budget laws, excessive spending and laxity of control of the county treasury. Charges to this effect were made by the new Democratic county council Wednesday afternoon as the council ended a comprehensive probe into the county’s financial status. Asking the support of civic, business arid governmental organizations m ‘holding down" expenses of government, the council inaugurated a •thrift" administration by promptly paring $288,000 from ordinances placed in their hands. In a r'Jhlic statement issued at the meeting, councilmen lamented the “depressing” state of finances, lambasted the retiring G. O. P. administration for ‘‘hasty uneconomical, and lax spending." Spent Beyond Income "This condition is the result of continually having spent during the several years past more in the operation of government than the income provided. There are many evidences of uneconomical and lax .•'Pending throughout all county offices,, courts and institutions,” the statement read. "The future, as to the condition of the county fund, considering the large deficit that now is hanging over us, is most deplorable. We can ec very little encouragement unless there can come a concerted and conscientious effort toward strict businesslike economy on the part of all officials and employes who have authority to make purchases or approve expenditures. With such co-operation, the disbursements for 1021 ran be held within the income so-- me year.” Deficit Is Forecast The county fund, councilmen discovered. will show a deficit at the end of this year of $295,000. The 1930 free gravel road budget is seriously depleted "because of hasty and unwise committments” of the Republican board of county commissioners, the statement charges. Commissioners are John E. Shearer and Charles O. Sutton, Coffin henchmen, and George Snider. Shearer and Snider will hold office through 1931. "They have attempted to obligate the county for large sums greatly in excess of the appropriations fixed for respective items, in direct violation of the county budget law,” the statement declares. Score Bonds Increase Criticism of the constantly growing bonded indebtedness of the county was aired in the statement a.s the council refused to approve issuance of $198,000 for poor farm relief and $60,000 for the Belt railroad elevation program. This situation, as affecting the county’s indebtedness is most depressing. We can see no way for improvement except that some means be found to stop projects that cause the continued issuance of bends,” councilmen said in the statement. "To this end we feel that we have the right to appeal for the support and co-operation of the public, the press, other governmental bodies, NEW WONDER GUND TONIC DISCOVERED Having brought more happiness to hundreds of persons than any other r m of treatment, this wonderful gland i r aiment stands superior as a tonic, i.! adage, as this treatment is called, •ernes In treatments of one month.

SHERIFF’S SHOT MAY KILL MAN / Farmer, Wounded in Gun Battle, Is Dying. Hy Times Special COLUMBUS. Ind., Nov. 20.- -Peter Huff, 55, a farmer, is in Bartholomew county hospital suffering from bullet wounds sustained in a gun battle with Sheriff Alonzo Fitch and Deputy Sheriff Perry Githens, when the officers went to his home, west of the city, to arrest him. Huff had been in the Southeastern Hospital for the Insane at Madison. but escaped from that place a few weeks ago and returned here. Officers had made repeated trips to his home and Huff, it is said, threatened they never would take him alive. The two officers went to the home Wednesday night and as they arrived, Huff opened fire, one bullet gonig through the leg of the sheriff’s trousers. The officers drew their guns and opened fire, several bullets striking Huff in the body. His condition is critical and no hope is held for his recovery. Huff had been in the asylum on two previous occasions and each time had escaped. and civic organizations of this community.” Council approved an item totaling $38,000 to pay 300 farmers who hauled gravel on county roads last summer. Several other items requested for minor supplies were pared to the bone.” By way of becoming further acquainted with conditions, councilmen voted to make a tour of inspection of county institutions Dec. 3. “It is the council’s sincere intention as time permits to give thorough consideration and study to all details, departments and institutions comprised in the county’s business affairs,” the statement ended.

U. S. KNUCKLING DOWN TO STEADY SAVING ROUTINE Banks Survey Shows Trust in Stock Market Has Been Shattered. BY CORNELIUS VANDERBILT Jr. (Copyright. 1930. bv United Prtssi WASHINGTON, Nov. 20.—A twosided picture of the banking situation in the United States at j present was drawn by E. L. Smead, I chief of the division of bank operations of the federal reserve board when he was asked to comment or the economic depression and therecent closing of banks in the southwestern and central states. The situation may be divided broadly into its urban and its rural aspects, according to Smeal. On the urban side are encouraging ! symptoms such as increased savings j deposits and a decline in collateral loans. On the rural side he told of frozen assets and a drop in both j demand and time accounts. Smead believes that the average I American lias lost confidence in j Stock Exchange risks long since, and i is knuckling down to a long period of saving. Investment Money Checked Investment money from the multitude largely has been checked, and | the play on the big and little boards j of finance is confined almost ex- j clusively to major operations. The theory would appear demon- . strable by the figures recently re- j leased which show that metropolitan banks throughout the country are carrying today $760,000,000 more in savings accounts than they were a year ago. A.s opposed to this, banks in twenty-one agricultural states reported a large decline both in demand and time accounts, a decline greater than at any time except during war years. East in Good Condition Either the farmer’s assets are frozen, or he has withdrawn his funds from the local bank and placed them far, far down in his jeans. That banking conditions In certain sections of the east are good is established, incidentally, by the fact that in New York state there nas been an increase in one year of $600,000,000 in savings and passbook accounts. Indeed, it may be said that the situation in some of the big cities seldom has been better, the effects of the stock market decline having been largely effaced. Smaller Banks Weakened On the other hand, it is undeniable that a vast sum of money has gone out of circulation, which weakens the smaller banks. Depositors in rural communities well may have tired of divergent business prognostications and have decided to put their savings in liquid form rather than to entrust them to banks. In many cases they have converted whatever securities they have to cash, often at tremendous losses. HELD ON DRUNK CHARGE Man Also Is Accused of Stealing Auto From Parking Place. Investigating a report of a man slumped over the wheel of an auto, deputy sheriffs early today arrested Charles Cousins, 23, on a charge of drunkeness and vehicle taking. The auto, deputies said, owned by Charles Marlow, 304 East Michigan j street, was stolen from a parking ; place at 417 South East street. 1

Indiana Girl Made Happy MANY times a child has everything to make her happy and still is dissatisfied. This may not be the youngster’s fault. Often it is due to a condition easily corrected. Take the experience of Mrs. S. Hill, 746 Woodlawn Avenue, Indianapolis, who says: “Nothing seemed to please Margaret. She was fretful, feverish, suffered a lot from colds. She was constipated. “Mother told me about California Fig Syrup and I got some. It relieved her trouble promptly; made her bright and happy again. We have used it for a number of years.” Mothers by thousands praise this pure vegetable product. Children Jove it. Doctors recommend it to relieve constipation, feverishness, fretfulness, headaches; to open the bowels in colds or children’s ailments. Appetite is increased by the use of California Fig Syrup; breath is sweetened; coated tongue is cleared; digestion and assimilation are aided; weak bowels and stomach are strengthened. For your protection, the genuine always bears the name California.
