PROPOSED HIKE 1 FOUGHT BY TAX BODYMEMBERS Increase of 6 and 2-5 Cents Contained in Two New House Bills. Two bills calculated to result in a state-wide tajc Increase of approximately 6 2-5 cents are in the hands of house committee today for study. Bulk of the increase will be brought about by the mortgage exemption bill, introduced in the house by Representative Delph L. McKesson (Plymouth), floor leader, *hich would reduce the property taxation burden by increasing the mortgage exemption from SI,OOO to 1.50 e. James Showalter, chairman; Pliny H. WolfarS and Philip Zoercher of the state tax board, today declared unanimously they are opposed To the bill, Showalter estimating the SSOO exemption boost would take $100,000,000 from the Indiana tax duplicate. Rate Would Move Up Bhowalter asserts that where the 1929 tax rate for Indiana taxing units was $2,814 on each SIOO, passage of the McKesson bill would make the rate $2.87 on the basis of the 1929 tax. Tuberculosis state aid legislation Introduced by Representatives Herbert P. Kenney (Dem., Floyd) and Miles J. Furnas (Rep., Randolph) would raise $300,000 annually for construction of county tuberculosis hospitals and provides a tax of 6 mills on each SIOO of taxable property to be assessed this year for payment in 1932. County to Raise Cash embracing the findings of the Leslie hospital survey commission which recommended construction of nine county tuberculosis hospitals, the measure provides state aid on no case shall exceed 50 per cent of the cost, to be paid after the county has raised its share in cash. Procedure of obtaining state aid would follow an existing law which allows county commissioners to hold a referendum on the need of such a hospital after being petitioned by 300 or more taxpayers. x SCHOOL HEADS TOLD OF NEW STUDY PLAN Lebanon Superintendent Cites Decrease In Failures.

Muscular- Rheumatic Aches and Pains DRAW them out with a “counterirritantDistressing muscular lumbago, soreness and stiffness—generally respond pleasantly to good old Musterole. Doctors call it a “counter-irri-tant,” because it gets action and is not just a salve. Musterole helps bring soreness and pain to the surface, and thus gives natural relief. You can feel how its warming action penetrates and stimulates blood circulation. But do not stop with one application. Apply this soothing, cooling,healing ointment generously to the affected area once every hour .for five hours. Used by millions for over 20 years. Recommended by many doctors and nurses. Keep Musterole handy; jars and tubes. To Mothers—Musterole is also made in milder form for babies and small children. Ask for Chil~ [

Kidnaped?

o^oo0 P®* JsM

Mrs. F. Harry Long, 24-year-old Memphis (Tenn.) society woman and Junior League leader, has disappeared mysteriously and police have been unable to find any trace of her. Her abandoned automobile was found near the Mississippi river, with her fur coat, gloves and purse lying in it, but police are working on the theory that this was a ruse and she was kidnaped. Her father was the late C. W. Thompson, Tennessee financier. Oldest Woman Dies By United, Press VINCENNES, Ind.. Jan. 15. America’s oldest woman, Mrs. Patsy Jane Spears, 112, who died recently in Cape Girardeau, Mo., was bom in Martin county, Indiana, and had a nephew here who had not seen her for fifty years.

Indiana Mother Knew Best WISE mothers find the things that keep children contented, happy, well. Most of them have learned they can depend on one thing to restore a youngster’s good nature when he’s cross, fretful, upset. The experience of Mrs. M. McMillan, 805 y Prospect St., Indianapolis, is a typical one. She says: “I have used California Fig Syrup ■with Eva and Betty since they were both just tiny babies. Whenever they’re the least bit constipated or restless I give them a little. It has them comfortable, happy, well in a i iffy. Their splendid condition proves I knew best when I decided to use this wonderful preparation with them.” Physicians endorse the use of pure vegetable California Fig Syrup when bad breath, coated tongue, dullness, feverishness, listlessness, etc., show a child’s bowels are in need of help. Weak stomach and bowels are toned by its gentle aid; appetite increased; digestion and assimilation are so assisted that weak, undernourished children quickly improve in weight, strength and energy. The genuine always bears the word California. So look for that when buying. All drugstores have it.

BOOTLEG HINT BRINGS PLEDGE BY DRUGGISTS Demand That No New Pharmacists May Sell Whisky to Be Made. Intimations of the Indiana AntiSaloon League modification of the Wright bone-dry law would create anew bootlegger class among physicians and pharmacists, are resented by the Indiana Pharmaceutical Association. In event of modification, the association would demand that no druggist in the business less than three years be allowed to handle whisky. The association desires to keep pharmacies clean, Frank McCullough, New Albany, secretary, said in a statement revealing his organization’s stand on control of medicinal whisky, v is the legislature awards its prescriptions to Hoosier physicians.

Association has taken a similar stand, according to Albert F. Fritz. While the local association has advocated neither repeal nor letention of the Wright statute, it feels that as long as whisky is recognized as a drug its use should be allowed physicians, Fritz said, adding his contention that freedom allowed physicians and pharmacists in use of narcotics has not made dope peddlers of them. The Indianapolis Medical Society Wednesday produced a resolution against charges of E. A. Miles of the Anti-Saloon League, in which bootlegging potentialities of doctors were hinted. Dr. C. H. Winders, superintendent of the Anti-Saloon League, replied to that resolution, in absence of Miles, asserting that no reflection was intended against the physicians, declaring that while evidence gathered by the league in other states showed the majority of physicians adhere to the law, some took advantage of medicinal whisky clauses. The same statement applies to druggists, he declared.
