BATTLE LOOMS OVER SALE OF POPPY IN STATE V. of F. W. to Combat Move of Legion to Get State Permit. England’s war of the roses won’t have a thing on Indiana and it’s war of the poppies. For at the next meeting of the legislature the American Legion of Hoosierland will attempt to obtain the state’s seal of approval on their annual poppy drive, while the Veterans of Foreign Wars of the state will combat the legion's right to the flower for obtaining money for disabled veterans on Memorial day. The call to arms was sounded to the V. F. W.’s this week by Arthur G. Gresham, national legislative deputy of the organization. Aroused by Resolution Gresham and hl buddy veterans have been aroused by a resolution adopted at the last legion convention recommending state legislation giving the legion the exclusive right to sell poppies in Indiana. In past years the two veterans’ organizations have fought street "duels” in Indianapolis for customers for their poppies on Memorial day. Gresham declares the V. F. W.s were first in the field in the sale of poppies. He asserts that the legion began the sales after they saw the success with which their own drives were received.

Claims Hoover Approval He says that Presidents Harding, Coolidge and Hoover have indorsed the V. F. W.'s “buddy” poppy to the exclusion of the legion's "In Memoriam” flower. In turn, legionnaires declare that the "In Memoriam” poppy was introduced in 1920, one year before the V. F. W.’s flower was put on the market. Legionnaires declare they are willing to co-operate with the V. F. W.'s in the "poppy” days, providing the veterans will guarantee that there will be no pay for those selling the flower. The V. F. W.’s complain that poppy sellers of the legion have pushed their workers off desirable corners. Beat Legion to Corners The poppy sale in Indianapolis this year found the V. F. W’s catching the proverbial worm by beating legion sellers to corners. The result was a confusion for citizens and quarrels between the sellers. The two veterans’ bodies differ as to the originators of the poppy. The legionnaries say "Mrs. Moina Michaels, a Y. M. C. A. worker in New York, conceived the inspiration. f The V. F. W.’s say: “A French war widow hit upon the plan and developed it in France for welfare work among war orphans and widows.”

FORECASTS NO DROP IN STATE 29-CENT LEVY Debts of Two Years Barrier to Decrease, Says Deputy Auditor. Prediction that the 29-cent state tax rate can not be reduced and can only be kept from an increase by utmost economy was made by William P. Cosgrove, deputy auditor of state, today. Cosgrove made the prediction in addressing the Indianapolis Real Estate Board at the Washington hotel. "As far as the state expenditures are concerned there is but small prospect for immediate relief,” he declared. "The state, like ourselves, is compelled to pay for what it has bought, and in the absence of a special sesssion, our obligation .has two years more to run.” Cites Education Expense He pointed out that budget appropriations for 1932 amount to $13,955,791 and other statutory expenditures to at least another $500,000. “The Indiana taxpayer, in his generosity, finances a line of unnecessary expenditures ranging from $10,000,000 memorials down to laundering of babies diapers,” Cosgrove charged. Citing the large expenditures for the four state schools, he said: "I feel sure that it can be shown that the continually increasing expenditures for education can be traced more directly to the demands of the educators than those being educated.” Urges Salary Adjusting Twenty-three million is too much for the state highway department to spend and the money should relieve the local burden on real estate by caring for local roads and possibly police traffic work the speaker suggested. "I see no necessity for any increase in the tax on gasoline nor for automobile licenses,” Cosgrove continued. "Motorists are now paying more that $26,000,000 a year, exclusive of property taxes, which is more than one-half of all the money the state handles. The thing to do is to cut out the nonessentials and properly allocate the money we are now collecting.” Statehouse salaries should be classified so that there is not SIOO or S2OO a month difference for the same work performed, he added. Another saving would be through more careful checkup on traveling expenses, particularly automobiles he declared. Firemen Save Youth’s Life By United Press PEABODY, Mass., Sept. 3.—Doctors had abandoned hope when firemen began an attempt to resuscitate John Ahearn, monoxide victim, with an inhalator. One hour and 20 minutes later the youth was revived.
