THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

COMMISSIONERS HIT PAY HIKES UNDER TRUSTEE Advisory Board’s Power to Grant Raises Put in Question. Authority of the Center township advisory board to increase salaries of sixten poor relief investigators in the office of Miss Hannah Noone. Center township trustee, was questioned today by county commissioners. The qestion arises over two acts pased by the 1931 legislature as emergency laws for administering poor relief. Commisioners contend that they are the only persons who can fixe salaries of investigators. Advisory board members were criticised severely by county commissioners for increasing the salaries. Commissioners have refused to allow the claims, raising the pay of sixteen investigators from S9O to SIOO each. No Time for Pay Hikes “This is no time to increase the pay of any public employe,” George Snider, commissioner, stated. “We expect co-operation of county and township officials in our efforts to keep the tax rate as low as possible,” Commissioner John Shearer, declared. Defense for the action cf the advisory board was offered today by Ernest K. Marker, beard member, who stated the salaries had been raised to equalize the pay received by all women investigators. Dissension Over Wages Previously part of the investigators had been paid at the rate of SIOO a month. Marker stated,” dissension had risen In the trustee’s office over unequality of pay.” He pointed out that three other investigators had been discharged, and stated the women were forced to pay large amounts of their salaries for carfare in the relief work.

BANKING MIXUP TO HIGH COURT Meyer-Kiser Halts Receiver Suit With Writ. Intervention of the Indiana supreme court by issuing a writ of prohibition today stopped efforts of depositors to have a receiver appointed for the Meyer-Kiser bank. The writ denies Thomas D. McGee, special judgq, the right to hear arguments on the receivership petition in superior court two. Hearing on the writ, petitioned for by the bank’s directors and liquidating agents, wall be held before the supreme court Wednesday. It is claimed that Judge McGee is without jurisdiction in the case because under the state law only the attorney-general, on behalf of the state banking commissioner, can file receivership suits. The case may decide whether a few depositors can force the state banking department to place a bank in receivership when the bank has taken steps to liquidate its assets on approval of the department.

BY BEN STERN “TjUTTON, button; who’s got the D button?” as played in Indianapolis today, is entitled, “Chief chief, who is going to b epolice chief,” and probably “who has got the chief?” And there are plenty of ambitious Warwicks declaring: “I have got the chief,” and then, with the twist of the wrist, producing their favorite candidates. It’s the old army game when it comes to police department heads, and not the least among the skilled players are the adherents of E. Kirk McKinney, Democratic city chairman and board of works head, now in France. They are out openly sponsoring the candidacy of Lieutenant Michael Morrissey, head of the gambling squad. Somebody must have tipped off the opportunities that Morrissey's name is receiving some attention from Mayor Reginald H. Sullivar... a a a On the other hand, the old line Democrats, not allied with the city hall group, are boosting Captain John Mullin of the uniform division, who went on the force in 1903. Others in the police department are urging the selection of Fred Simon, chief of detectives, who was appointed a patrolman in 1906. All the above are Democrats. Although realizing that because of the political complexion of the city administration, sponsorship of a Republican would in all probabilities be futile, many are urging that Major Herbert Fletcher, acting chief, be given the permanent appointment. Several business men have voiced the opinion that the post should be conferred on Captain Lewis Johnson of the traffic division, formerly major tt tt tt It is a peculiar thing that the majority of opinion expressed has been in favor of the apopintment of a civilian, not connected with the police department and preferably an ex-serviceman who has commanded men. “After all, the main thing is to get an honest man in whom the people have confidence and who will be able to keep the police department free from petty jealousies,” seems to be the consensus. There can be no doubt that many believe a fresh face should be seen at the head of the department. The reasons advanced for a “new face” are in the main based upon a fear of alliance with various gambling and racketeering groups. HONOR LODGE LEADER Rebekahs to Fete Franklin Woman, State President.

WOLF IS NAMES AS MANAGER OF CITY HOSPITAL Post Is Conferred by City With Resignation of C. C. Hess. Earl C. Wolf, official of HibbenHollweg & Cos. for twenty-two years, will succeed Clarence C. Hess as city hospital business manager July 1, following resignation of Hess at the health board meeting late Friday. Sess, a Republican, has held the j post seven years, being appointed j under the Shank administration, j Wolf is a Democrat. It has been known for some time that Hess has been seeking another position, intending to resign when he obtained it. When he visited the board meet- I ing Friday afternoon, he was called j into the office of Mayor Reginald: H. Sullivan. Leaving the mayor’s office, he returned, to the board meeting and submited a written resignation. A resolution praising Hess for his efficient and faithful service was adopted by the board. Hess, in the past, has aroused the ire of Democratic leaders on several occasions over hospital appointments. Several months ago resentmen* was aroused when, after discharging several Democratic employes at the hospital, the business manager explained the council had j. cut the jobs from the budget, some councilmen claiming the cut had been made on Hess’ recommenda- j tion. The business manager's position 1 pays $4,000 a year. Wolf is the Hibben-Holl'weg purchasing agent and assistant sales manager. DISCORD FLARES AMONGG. 0, P. Young Republican Says He Was Denied Speech. By United Press WASHINGTON, June 13. Although • ■ >sions outwardly were j as harmonious as a college “pep” s rally, the conference of young Republicans disbanded today on a discordant note following revelation ■ that Representative Melvin J. Maas i of Minnesota was denied an op- j portunity to speak. Maas, only 33 years old and one j of the j’oungest Republican mem- | bers of congress, charged that he ! was taken off the program because , he proposed to urge modification of the prohibition laws and to assail Postmaster-General Walter Brown, j Robert H. Lucas, executive director of the Republican national committee who was in charge of the conference, said there was not time for Maas' speech. To this Maas replied that “the meeting ran half an , hour over schedule and there was ample opportunity to hear numerous talk.” Aside from the Maas incident, the two-day conference ran true to schedule, with an array of orators . praising all things Republican in : general and President Hoover in particular, and denouncing all things Democratic in general and ; Tammany Hall in particular.

INCOME TAXES DROPPING FAR SHORT OF 1930 Second Installment Likely to Send Government’s Deficit Soaring. WASHINGTON. June 13.-The second installment of federal income taxes due Monday will be bad news not only for taxpayers, but for the government, it was indicated today as experts predicted the collections would fali far short of those in recent prosperous years June income tax collections, it was estimated, will be only about *290,000,000. compared with $526,443,000 last June. Asa consequence, the government's deficit on June 30. end of the fiscal year, probably will exceed the figure of $900,000,000, forecast a few days ago by President Herbert Hoover. Collections in March, when the first installment of taxes on 1930 incomes was paid, totaled $359,000,000, against $529,000,000 in March, 1930. For the fiscal year to date, collections are running $331,270,354 behind those for the last fiscal year —51,530,480,768 as contrasted with $1,911,751,132. The sharp fall in income tax collections. due to the business depression, serves to call attention again to the argument for some more stable form of revenue, as expressed recently by Andrew Mellon, secretary of treasury. The administration has indicated its opposition to any tax increase at the next session of congress, but Mellon has set his experts to work upon a long-time program of tax revision, to be presented to congress after the 1932 elections.
