BY BEN STERN ANNOUNCEMENT of the Indianapolis Real Estate Board that it is taking a stand for abolition of the township unit of government in Indiana has evoked much interest among those seeking to reduce the tax burden. It indicates that these citizens are awakening to a realization that the township unit causes a large proportion of increased taxation and that this system must go if real relief Is to be obtained. But where '“Was the Real Estate Board with its influence and prestige when four bills aimed at this evil were introduced six months ago in the general assembly by Representative Jacob Weiss of Indianapolis, and killed by indefinite postponement without even being printed. It was then that the influence of the Real Estate Board was needed. For the 1,016 township trustees of Indiana, whose jobs were threatened have in the past and will continue to maintain one of the most powerful lobbies of ail assembled under the capitol dome. a u u As Weiss declared in his vain attempt to reverse the majority committee report for indefinite postponement, “the township system costs Indiana $16,000,000 annually to which Marion county contributes $6,000,000.” Two of the bills would have abolished townships in the state and two applied to Marion county. The author planned that even if the state-wide measures failed the Marion county delegation would strive to do away with the township evil in this county. But he was speedily disillusioned. All but one member of the corporations committee to which the bills were assigned pledged that if no other would object he would vote to send the bills on to printing and then they would have to run the gauntlet on second ing.The representative who upset this plan was Gerritt M. Bates of Indianapolis, who held out against an undivided favorable report which at least would have permitted every member of the house of representatives to study the reform measures. .. u a a The bills came out on a divided report, with the author fighting to the last ditch to send them on to second reading. Sixteen members of the house voted to save the bills abolishing the townships in Marion county while
CRUSHED BY TRAIN Car Inspector Loses Leg in Big Four Yards, James Stretsberry, 42, of Shelby and Beecher streets, had a leg cut off when he was caught beneath a string of moving cars today in the Big Four railroad yards at Emerson avenue. Unable to talk after he was found, Stretsberry, a car inspector, was taken to the Methodist hospital where his condition is said to be critical. W. E. Boyd of Beech Grove said Stretsberry was making up a train when the accident occurred. 'FIFP IS IN CHICAGO Fowler McCormick to Resume Work in a Few Days. By United Press CHICAGO, July 6.—Fowler McCormick and his bride, the former Anne (Fifi) Stillman, were in Chicago today, reportedly establishing their home. They arrived late Sunday by airplane and were met by Fowler’s father, Harold F. McCormick, millionaire head of the International Harvester Company.

only six voted for the state measures. The roll call of Marion county representatives showed that Weiss, John F. White and E. Curtis White were the only ones to vote in favor of the state-wide bill, and E. Curtis White voted against the two applying to this county Local representatives opposing the measures were Bates, Guy A. Braughton, Russell Dean, William Conner (author of House Bill 6), Fred Galloway, Clyde Karrer and Albert Walsman, who is connected with the Indiana Taxpayers’ Association, loud-spoken advocate of reducing the tax burden Walter Myers as Speaker did not vote. No doubt similar proposals will be introduced in the next session of the general assembly. An educational campaign by the Real Estate Board could do much to obtain their passage. There can be no question that the board missed an opportunity six months ago. Perhaps it will come to the front in 1933.

TWO IN STATE BERTHS OUSTED BY LESLIE HINT G. 0. P. Veterans Are 'Out Again’; Governor Asks for 'New Blood.’ Two old time G. O. P. employes, who returned to the statehouse last month, are out again, it was learned today. They are Frank Richards, who held the position of assistant treasurer under the regime of Mrs. Grace Banta Reynolds, and Ralph Bobbitt, who worked in the office of the secretary of state under Otto G. Fifield. Both returned as accountants for the public sendee commission. When Governor Harry G. Leslie came to O. K. their appointments he dropped the hint to the commission that it would satisfy him great-
FAR into the mountains—in a desolate cabin—lived Mary Willets—alone. Young and beautiful —she yearned for human companionship. But Fate—it seemed —had stranded, forsaken her—until that day—Bob White was delivered into her loving care. It was a pitiful sight—that morning she found him—near her cabin—his legs crushed under a rock—hurled down by a landslide. Terrified lest death should claim him—frantically, Mary pulled—tugged his mammoth, half-conscious body to her cabin—set his splintered legs—dressed his wounds—nursed him night and day. How she worshiped that bravery—that defiance to pain —even death—she saw in his noble eyes. Here was a man—a man worth loving. And day by day—she could see that he, too—was growing to love her. Glad—excited, insanely happy—the weeks flew byBob’s legs almost healed—and the day of reckoning came. “Mary,” he said, “I love you—l got to talk. That morning —the rock—l was hiding money”—he choked. “You see— I’m—well—you don’t want a train robber—for a husband!” “Oh, Bob!” she cried —threw herself on his chest. “You’re mine— forever, God sent you to me—or else— He’d have taken you—out there.” “Don’t, honey,” he pleaded. “Remember The Law. It’s out to get me—even if I’ve quit the game—for good.”
ly if new rather than old blood was introduced into statehouse jobs. E. J. Thacker, another old timer, secured one of the Jobs and stuck, however. Budget committee approval was given ten new accountants and twenty-six engineering positions to handle the Insull survey in southern Indiana. Harry Wenger, chief engineer, made the error of hiring several men he knew were engineers and could do the work and found himself in deep water. From that time on the matter was handled by G. O. P. commissioners in close cooperation with the Governor’s office. Politics and Purdue university educations have played a large part in the appointments it is said.
