‘HOME R ULE ’ ON BOND ISSUES IS LOST FOR NEXT 2 YEARS

TAX BOARD IS GIVEN VIRTUAL ‘DICTATORSHIP’ Attorney-General’s Opinion and Bonding Lawyers’ Agreement, Cause. NOT LEGISLATIVE INTENT Court Challenge Likely to Protect Interests of Communities. BY DANIEL M. KIDNEY Dictatorship power over all local governmental bond issues has been conferred upon the state tax board, And the last vestige of ‘‘home rule” has been abolished for the next two years, it was disclosed today. This position, opposed by the State tax commissioners themselves, has been brought about by an interpretation of the 1931 budget limitation law by the attorney-gen-eral’s office and Indianapolis bond attorneys. * Construction people contend that It will impede public work at a time when increase in such work has been urged by President Hoover and other leaders to aid in solving the depression and unemployment problems. They point out that more construction,can be done right now.for the tax dollar than at any time in recent history. Each unemployed worker given a Job will thus be taken from the ‘‘dole” paid now by township trustees, they also point out. Attorneys in New Stand Several city bond attorneys conferred with Joseph Hutchinson, deputy attorney-general and author of the opinion, Wednesday. The opinion, given to Chairman James Showalter of the tax board several weeks ago, had held that interest and sinking fund items must be considered as coming under the budget limitation law. The bonding attorneys went a Step farther and agreed not to approve any local governmental bond issues for their client banks and bond houses unless it first is approved by the state tax board. Up to now the board has had Only appellate power, the proposed bond issues being taken before them upon petition of local taxpayers. Now the local taxpayers will have tiothing to do with the matter. L Not Bill’s Intent That this was not the intent of the legislature was the opinion expressed today by Phil Zoercher, vetertan tax board member, who always has urged that the tax commissioner’s powers be limited to appeals. “The law was intended to not permit current expenditures of local governments to exceed during the next two years the budget of 1930,” Zoercher explained. “By budget it generally is understood that it doesn’t mean the bonded indebtedness costs, as a method of curbing them has long been provided by the appellate power of this commission.” Zoercher said that Chairman Showalter and Commisioner Pliny Wolfard of the board are agreed With him that if they must hear all bond issues they do not intend to burden the local officials and citizenry by making them come to Indianapolis, but that hearings will be held in the local communities. Court Challenge Likely That this dictatorship, said to have been created without legislative intent, may be challenged in the courts was being considered today by construction interests who are vitally interested in local road bond issues. Attempt to cut out local road bond issues was made by the Indiana Taxpayers Association during the 1931 session, but failed. Harry Miesse, director of the association, long has advocated tax board control of them and now he has it, although not anticipating such a drastic interpretation when the law svas parsed. , , Charles Kettleborough, director of the legislative reference bureau, who drafted the bill which became the budget limitation law, is reported to have expressed the opinion that the bond issue business was not the thing which this particular bill sought to curb, but only current governmental expenditures.

Crowned! Two Heads Are 'Bottled’ in Ravenswood Brawl; Suspend Marshal.

A GENTLE dove bearing an olive spray was enshrined by Ravenswood citizenry as the town bird today after deputy sheriffs paraded the riverside colony most of the time beetween midnight and daylight. Strife between village officials in the last two years or more has worn most of the novelty from a police visit, but it was social rather than political war that rated the law’s descent on Ravenswood beach today. Alarms of more peaceable neighbors that murder had been done in a brawl in a cottage brought a sheriff’s emergency and two radio squads to the scene of what earlier in the evening had been a jovial spare-rib dinner. Os the twenty couples wly) had inaugurated the party, only three men remained. Edwin Dunbar, 43, of 3132 Park avenue, with feyes blackened and head battered, was charged with drunkenness and malicious destruction of property, as was Ivan Gold, 27, of 521 Standard street, who was dragged from under a bed, bloody and only semiconscious from a blow with a bottle. Basil Gaumer, 46, new town marshal of Ravenswood, was charged with drunkenness, and relieved of his duty almost immediately by Charles O. Ford, unofficial mayor of the town. Throughout two cottages the battle had raged, Dunbar said, after someone hit him on the head with an empty bottle hurled through a window. Furniture was wrecked and windows smashed; empty bottles, broken and whole, littered the floors; the rest of the party had fled. Later two deputy sheriffs answered another fight alarm, but found, instead of a melee, a pretty young woman, pajama-clad, sitting in a cottage with three men. She said she had come over from a neighboring cottage where she lived. Jack Hanna, 24, of 3815 College avenue, who claimed possession of the place, was charged with operating a blind tiger after the deputies confiscated several highballs and a small amount of whisky. SEWAGEPLANT DECISION SOON Sanitary Board Members to Reach Verdict. Decision on completion of the city sewage disposal plant will be madewithin the next week or ten days, sanitary board members said today following their conference Wednesday with the state health board. City Engineer A. H. Moore, member of the sanitary board, said a plan for issuing $200,000 bonds to complete the project has been under consideration some time, but has been delayed by desire to avoid issuing any more bonds than necessary at this time. Moore said the plant is adequate to care for needs except during the summer. B. J. T. Jeup, board member, has suggested a plan whereby the bond issue could be retired through salary cuts and other economies in the department, together with reduction in board members’ salaries as provided by law when the plant is completed.

OIL MAGNATE HELD ON FRAUD CHARGE

Silas M. Newton Accused of $25,000 Swindle in Transaction. Brj United Press NEW YORK, July 9.—Silas M. Newton, one of the country’s largest independent oil operators, faced extradition to New Jersey today on a charge that he had defrauded Hugo E. Distelhurst of Upper Montclair, N.

SEARCH OLD FILES FOR UTILITY’S SITE

‘Perry or Decatur?’ Asks Power and Light Cos.; Taxes Involved. Yellowed records of meetings of the Marion county board of commissioners were perused today to determine whether Indianapolis Power and Light Company would save between $30,000 and $50,000 in taxes yearly. The records were brought out of musty vaults at the courthouse when attorneys for the light company told County Auditor Harry Dunn that it was their opinion that the new $8,000,000 power plant in Perry township, near White river, is not in Perry township, but in Decatur. Decatur township has a tax rate of $1.51 on SIOO, while Perry’s rate is $2.13. The fickleness of the White river in changing its course in the past 100 years gives authenticity to the plea of the power company. The old records of county commissioner hearings show that all land east of the White river was attached by special order to Perry tbwnshlp. But in the years the river’s course has changed so that the present site of tlje power plant places it between the old river bed and the new bed with the result plant could be construed to be in' Decatur township. The river is now the boundary line of the townships. Attorneys for the power company were to appear before the county’s board of reviews this afternoon to argue that the plant should be assesssed in Decatur township. CREDIT UNION FORMED Kingan & Cos. Employes Organize Loan Unit. Incorporation papers were filed with Secretary of State Frank Mayr Jr. today for the Kingan & Co.’s Employes Credit Union. As with similar organizations they will deal in small loans at low interest rates to employe members and operate their own saving program through share sales.

He is president of the Indiana Oil and Gas Corporation. Name of the Indiana Southwestern Gas and Utilities Company was changed to the Indiana Southwestern Gas Corporation on Aug. 11, 1930, according to records on file with the secretary of state. Original Idling was on Jan. 24, 1930, the corporation being a New Jersey concern with 500 shares of no-par-value stock. it is not an operating utility and there is no record regarding it on file with the public service commission.

A True Scout Saddened Troop-Mates Pay Last Tribute at ‘Ernie’s’ Funeral.

By United Press CHICAGO, July 9.—“ Ernie,” who trundled himself in a wheel chair to the topmost heights of Boy Scout achievement, was buried today. His comrades in Troop No. 501 said: “Ernie was game from start to finish.” The minister of the First Presbyterian church, where funeral services were held, said: “Os his wheelchair, Ernest Stone Jr. made a chariot that carried him to Olympian heights.” Tears glistened in the eyes of the scouts who crowded the church to pay tribute to “Ernie,” their idol—crippled since he was 5 years old by infantile paralysis —for the last time. Flags were at half-mast in the troop headquarters of Chicago’s 18,000 Boy Scouts, all but nine of whom “Ernie” had outdistanced, in his wheelchair, in the acquisition of honors. an n HE won thirty eight merit badges, or seventeen more than required to attain the highest rank ni scoutdom—that of Eagle Scout. Comparatively few Scouts—even able bodied ones—gain the Eagle grade. Gee, but he was a real sport.” said one of his pals. “He didn’t seem to mind that he couldn’t go hiking and swimming like the rest of us—he got a kick out of just seeing us have fun, that’s the way Ernie was.” “He died right,” said a tanned Scout after the funeral. “I’m glad he didn’t have to suffer.” Death had come suddenly to “Ernie.” He had lived life to the brim and his weakened heart failed to carry on.

in the right direction, if it acts as a stimulant to world markets. “Anything,” he declared, “that tends to produce a general spirit of optimism is for the better, although we must allow for some retroaction.” “I’m a believer in that old adage that ‘a watched pot never boils,’ and if we take things in our stride, conducting our affairs from day to day as unconscious as possible of any depression, the first tiling we know depression will be in our wake and prosperity looking more and more closely in the foreground.” Denies Official Connection Schwab denied he would have any official connection with the Stutz Company other than the all-im-portant one of principal stockholder, which he became Tuesday when with his associates he acquired 70 per cent of the common stock. Seeing continued improvement in the financial affairs of the Stutz company, Schwab pointed to its bond retirement record which includes a reduction from the original $1,000,000 issue to $359,000 to date and a $92,000 slash effected during thb first six months of the present year. Quick assets of the company, he said, have been converted from a ratio of 1.6 to 1 into a ratio of 114 to 1, representing an adidtion of $82,000. Surplus of the Stutz company, acording to the officers’ report, has been increased by $2,250,000. Silent on Expansion Silent on any contemplated expansion, Schwab nevertheless asserted that, “we (himself and Chicago and New York banking interests) intend to back company officials ‘to the limit.’ ” He paid a glowing tribute to E. S. Gorrell, president of the company, and his associates for the progress made since the first of the year. The former sl-a-year man during the World war expected to leave Indianapolis late today, following his inspection of the local plant, and continue his tour of the Schwab interests in Detroit, Toledo, 0., and Wheeling, W. V., and Pittsburgh. He refused to comment on the status of the Bethlehelm SteelSheet and Tube Steel merger and his feud with Cyrus Eaton, Republic Steel magnate and “heir apparent” to the steel throne.

SUPREME GOURT \ HOPPER TURNING AT SAM SPEED Changed Personnel Has No| Spurred Faster Rulings, Report Shows. By Times Bpecial LAFAYETTE, Ind.. July 9.—Despite the shift in personnel, due to election of two Democratic judges, Indiana’s supreme court continues to function with about the sam*. speed—or lack of it—as last year. This was disclosed by Chief Jus* tice Clarence R. Martin in addressing the Indiana State Bar Association’s mid-summer meeting her<£ today. It has become an annual custom of the judge to present figures to show how the high court is getting along with its work. The jammed docket remain* jammed, his new tabulation revealed. but he predicted a hope fo* the future speeding up of decisions. Even fewer cases were decided than last session, but fewer were com* pletely briefed so the docket kept even, his report showed. Important Rulings Made “An unusual number of cases involving important and novel questions were decided,” Judge Martin declared. “This seems to be confirmed by the fact that in the volumes of the American Law Reports, published during the last year, twelve Indiana cases were published and annotated. This is more than were published in the preceeding sixteen volumes over a period of three years. “Number of cases appealed increased from 128 last year to 142, but the number which reached tha court fully briefed and ready for decision decreased from 86 to 65.” A tabulation was read by tha‘ judge showing that 191 cases are pending now as against 179 in July,’ 1930, and 192 in 1929. This total does not include the petitions to transfer from the appellate court which bring the grand total now to 306. Average Age 2!4 Years Analysis of dates when cases were fully briefed gave the average age of appeals under 2 5 /2 years. “The members of the court realize the importance of disposing of these older cases and will increasingly devote more time to them,’* Judge Martin declared. * Judge Noel C. Neal, chief judgs of the appellate court, presented a report on that court’s docket. Frank N. Richman, Columbus, presided. Prominent leaders of the bar are on the program today and Friday, Medals will be presented Friday to Curtis Plopper of Shortridge high school, Indianapolis, and Miss Ruth Bridges, Danville, winners, respect tively of the state oratorical and essay contests sponsored by the barassociation. .
