TAX RELIEF IS DEMANDED BY FARM LEADER Bureau Vice-President Hits Leslie, Marshall, Myers and McNutt. URGES EXTRA SESSION Legislature Action Is Asked to “Avert Trouble’ in State. Demand for a special session of the Indiana general assembly to ‘ avert pending trouble” over the tax situation is made by Lewis Taylor, first vice-president of the Indiana Farm Bureau Federation, in the current issue of that organization’s periodical. The Hoosicr Farmer. As director of farm bureau's tax and leg slative department, Taylor is familiar with the events of the 1931 session. He not only demands a special session, but flays Governor Harry G. Leslie, the Governor's mentor Henry Marshall, Democratic Chairman R. Earl Peters; Speaker Walter Myers. Paul V. McNutt and other party leaders for the assembly’s failure to pass promised tax relief. "A statesman in the Governor's office would use all his power to avert pending trouble by forestalling it,” Taylor declared. "This he could do by calling a special session of the legislature to enact fair and equitable tax law’s.” Taylor's article is headed: "The Mountain Labored and Brought Forth a Mouse.” Slaps at Governor "He (Leslie* would do well to heed the signs of the times and not read the stars that shine with special brightness on big business, when he consults the civic horoscope,” says the article. "Nor will the scare of the expense of a special session be accepted as an excuse for inaction. “During the next two years owners of lands and improvements will pay more than $100,000,000 in direct taxes, and this will not include taxes on their personal property, which will add many more millions. "As all these millions can be collected legitimately only from the net income of this property, while much larger income from other sources goes scot free, such owners will not, be quieted with specious talks of economy that, for them, means confiscation for two more years—a prospect that statesmen must, view with apprehension, if not alarm.” Cost Worth It Taylor goes on to declare that even if a special session would cost $500.0000,” would not a happy, contented prosperous people, assured of equality in tax matters, outweigh a thousand times the cost of a special session of its legislature?” Pointing to the powerful lobby brought to the legislature to forestall passage of the income tax measures introduced in the session, Taylor asks if the “same power will be able to prevent a special tax session of the legislature.” A warning to big business that agriculture will not meekly “submit to Luther outrage” is contained in the article. Taylor advises that "if farmers exist only to be exploited by local interests, it is time they began to ask themselves what profit they are to expect from local Chambers of Commerce who use farm profits to fight lair tax legislation and thus rivet unendurable tax laws more firmly about the neck of agriculture.”

Points Out Revenge Course In order to obtain revenge the farm bureau spokesman suggests that farm co-operative3 be organized to sell everything to the farmer, and in event this can not be done, the alternative be taken from mail order houses outside the state or from chain store merchants, “who at least do not finance lobbies to fight tax bills." Describing the fight to obtain passage of the income tax bills, Tavlor writes: “In spite of all that dinner parties and shameless midnight orgies could do. farmers forced from a reluctant senate a personal income tax law and came within two votes of a corporation income tax act. “Mental aberration, asininity or plain cussedness on the part of the Speaker (Myers), apparently advised by political friends, among whom the chairman of his party < Peters), and a rather anxious candidate for Governor (McNutt), were rather conspicuous, doomed the income tax.

Raps at Myers "His i Myers > extraordinary treatment of the bill gave the Governor ; an opportunity, promptly accepted.; to pocket veto the measure by re- j fusing to receive it." Taylor's reference was to Speaker j Myers’ action in writing a history i of the bill on the enrolled act and dating his approval March 10 instead of March 9. "With the advice of his attorneygeneral i James M. Ogden> and in the magnetic presence of his friend and mentor, the editor of the Lafayette Courier-Journal (Marshall), he of Indianapolis fame as a builder of streets, the Governor apparently assumed the function of the supreme court and declared the action of the general assembly null and void. “So the farmers must thank a eoeakcr, a political state chairman, ah over-eager candidate for Governor. an ex-street-building editor and a highly imaginative judicialminded Governor for the lack of any sort of promised tax relief. “They henceforth must face the prospect and task of paying the tax debts and obligations of a vast amount of tax-free income, thanks to the stupidity, inefficiency, or indifference or some ‘too damned dumb’ now sitting in high places.’’ Lawn Rake Perfected WARSAW, Ind., April 2.—A rake which pulls dandelions, does not harm a lawn, and cleans itself has been invented here by Ernest Baker, a former hotel porter.

Pola Negri Is Given Divorce From Prince

iyili Wsa+l

Pola Negri and Prince Serge Mdivani They're No Longer “Cooing Doves’; No Alimony With Decree. By United Press PARIS, April 2.—Pola Negri, film actress, was divorced today in the Seine tribunal from Prince Serge Mdivani. The divorce was granted on the grounds that the prince had abandoned his wife. Miss Negri sailed for New York aboard the liner Paris Wednesday. "A woman’s place is in the home and Pola did not seem to know it,” Prince Serge said. Only a little over a year ago, when the pair became reconciled in the same court after Pola’s first attempt to break the marriage bonds, the actress likened herself and her prince to cooing doves. Pola Negri gets no alimony by the decision of the court. Despite Pola’s statement that Mary McCormic, opera singer, had nothing to do with the divorce, Paris believed today that there would be anew princess Mdivani before long.

HOOVER APPROVES PAY MAINTENANCE

By United Press WASHINGTON. April 2.—Leading American industries are maintaining wage scales to the satisfaction of President Hoover, it was announced today at the White House in the President's behalf. Mr. Hoover's feeling was made known as a repudiation of reports that he had received word of disturbing wage reductions in several Important industries. While there admittedly have been instances of wage reductions, Mr. Hoover was said by the White H use to believe that most indus-

iAIR MADE BY CHEMISTS’ ART MOREHEALTHY Science Beats Nature at Own Game, Tests With Mice Reveal. DIET FADS ARE FLAYED Long Research Necessary to Reach a Normal Ration, Says Expert. Science believes it can beat Mother Earth at her own job—that of providing atmosphere in which to breathe. Experiments w’ere announced today at the meeting of the American Chemical Society that life can be | sustained more healthfully with a synthetic atmosphere which can be manufactured and introduced in office buildings, airplanes and submarines than with the nitrogenoxygen that surrounds the w-orld. Professor J. W. Hershey of Mc- ■ Pherson college, McPherson, Kan., J told the chemists that experiments ! with white mice showed that in some cases they lived more healthfully in a helium-oxygen instead of the nitro-oxygen with W’hich the world is surrounded. Suggests Uses for Gas He suggested that submarines, airplanes and artificially ventilated buildings should be filled with this synthetic atmosphere. His paper means that America—the nation cornering the supply on helium gas—controls the synthetic atmosphere of future submarines, planes and skyscrapers. During his eight years of experiments Professor Hershey said he had been convinced that rare gases such as argon, helium, neon, krypton, and xenon are vital to respiration. Tie nation’s supply of helium is used for dirigibles. Tl:e cause of a strange mottling of otherwise healthy teeth of children in certain parts of the country, notably Texas, has been traced to the chemical element fluorine through investigations which H. V. Churchill reported to the society. Make Gasoline of Coke Fluorine, an element not widely j distributed in nature, was found in ! drinking water used by persons whose teeth were discolored. The fluorine discoloration is located under the enamel of the teeth. So far as can be ascertained, the mottling does not cause fundamental tooth decay. Before Churchill's research. the trouble had been attributed to lack of calcium in the diet. Experiments of Gustav Egloff, ! Raymond E. Schaad and C. D. ! Lowry Jr., of the Universal Oil | Products Company of Chicago, were discussed nowing the possibility of coke becoming the commercial basis for producing gasoline in the future. Tile coke is thrown into “fits”— worked into acetylene gas—and then made into the motor fuel. Chemists to Bloomington Dedication of Indiana university’s new r chemistry building today took many of the chemists to Bloomington. Busses were provided at 8 this morning for those who left ea~ly for the ceremonies. Visits to limestone quarries near Bloomington and a dinner at the school W’ere other highlights of the program. The last session of the society's convention on Friday will be for the ! most part tips to city industries, j sightseeing tours, and a wind-up of the society's official business.

They plan trying to get her into the federal leper colony in the, south. Her husband now is an inmate of the Lcgansport state hospital.

trial leaders have lived up to their promises that they would protect the American standard of living. Mr. Hoover constantly has advocated the maintenance of existing wage scales as a necessary step in combating the depression, it was pointed out in his behalf. • That was the motive behind his 1929 conferences with Henry Ford and other industrial leaders, during which an agreement was reached to protect the purchasing power of American wage earners. The success of this agreement has been provfV-, Mr. Hoover believes.

SUGAR MAKES VARNISH IN NEWEST PROCESS Chemists Told of Experiment on “inverting" Tabic Sweet. Besides being the sweet in your coffee and the pep in your brew, sugar has been given the capability of varnishing the radio cabinet in the Hoosier home by chemists of the American Chemical Society. Professor Jack P. Montgomery of the University of Alabama told chemists today that ordinary table sugar could be made into a varnish. “The sugar is first inverted by acid, producing glucose and fructose and a resin made by the addition of aniline. This resin when dissolved in acetone gives a varnish,” he said.
