PROPERTY TAX RUINING STATE, SAYS SETTLE Urges Farm Bureau to Make Demand for Special Legislative Session. Branding Indiana’s property tax system as a destructive agency, ■wrecking homes and pauperizing families, WiHiam H. Settle, Indiana Farm Bureau president, today urged the annual convention of the bureau to demand a special legislative session to consider taxation legislation. “The time has come when we need snore action and less talk by those in authority to act,” Settle said at this morning’s session ol the convention in the Claypool. A special session of the legislature should be called at once to deal with this most important problem. I know that some will oppose, from what they call political expediency, but I doubt that there is any political expediency in refusing to call the legislature to meet and deal with a problem that is wrecking the state.” Suggests Income Tax Settle suggested first an income tax, and second a corporation tax, mentioning also possibilities of excise taxation, sales and luxury taxes, pointing out the success these forms of revenue procurement have met in other states. “Indiana has grown into a great Industrial state,” he said, leading to the question of the corporation tax. "The profits derived from real estate and especially from the use of lands in agriculture constitute but a small percentage of the total income of the state, and yet under the general property tax more than two-thirds of the taxes in the state are levied upon and collected frohi real estate.” Killed by 1927 Senate Maintaining that other taxes besides the general property levy are constitutional, he reminded the bureau members that the senate of the 1927 general assembly killed a bill to relieve property taxes. He attacked the absence of a corporation tax further on grounds that, through higher prices as the result of taxes they must pay in other states, big interstate corporations are forcing Indiana to pay a j portion of the taxes levied by other commonwealths. “I think the Governor will listen to our appeal for a special session of the legislature, and be convinced it is his duty to call the legislature to deal with these two important questions.” Mayor Reginald H. Sullivan welcomed the delegates in an address in which he discussed taxation, favoring reduction of property tax with possible alternatives of income, corporation and excise taxes to make up the state’s public fund. P. L. Betts of Chicago, manager of the Dairy and Poultry Cos Inc., and Mrs. Frank Evans of Washington, D. C., also were to appear on this morning’s speaking program.

FAT MEN DON’T ‘RATE’ AT ALL WITH THELMA Because, You See, One of Them Took Her Dog; She's Very Unhappy. One staunch believer in the old j saying, “Nobody loves a fat man,” I has been found in Indianapolis. She is little Thelma Williams, daughter of Mrs. C. C. Williams,

201 South Holmes street, whose pet dog has been stolen. Thelma blames a fat man. The fat man was driving a Pontiac coupe. The fat man picked up the dog at Harris avenue and West W a s h ington street. Thelma’s heart is broken, says her mother. So the fat man not only can blot'

CONVICT TO BE RETURNED EAST Man Caught Here Wanted in Prison Break. Admitting, according to detectives, he escaped from the New Jersey state prison in Trenton, Oct. 23, with three other prisoners, Frank Siebert, 24, arrested several days ago in the city, probably will be returned to Trenton to complete a fifteen-year term he was serving for robbery. Siebert was arrested last week when police found him crouching behind a box near a lunch stand on East South street. He admtited, detectives said, that he attempted to break into the lunchroom and was waiting for a companion to return with a bar to force the lock. Siebert said his companion was one of the prisoners with whom he escaped. He is sought by police. Two of the companions with whom he fled the prison were killed by Philadelphia police when surrounded in a cornfield, Siebert said. One police officer also was killed by the convicts, who were armed with a submachine gun and revolvers, Siebert said.

WALL ST. AGAIN IS TARGET FOR 'ALFALFA BILL' ‘Quit Voting for Lodges and Churches,’ Says Murray to Farmers. By United Preng DES MOINES, la., Nov. 17.—The next President must not be a man “reared in the shadow of Wall Street” if the problems of Mississippi valley farmers and merchants are to receive any consideration, in the opinion of Governor William H. (Alfalfa Bill) Murray of Oklahoma. Addressing the national convention of the Farmers’ Union Monday night, Murray declared that “such a man has no more conception of

the Mississippi valley farmer and small merchant and his needs than has Satan of the kingdom of salvation.” Gesticulating with a copy of the United States Constitution, Murray declared “we have got to quit voting for lodges and churches and for the geography that runs along the Harlem river and has a connection with Europe.” “With a $500,000,000 credit fund,” Murray said, “they propose to give a little slack in the chain that binds us to Wall Street. I'm for breaking that chain.” "The zero hour of hard times will come in the winter of 1933 and 1934. Even if we elect a courageous and honest administration, they will not take office until 1933, and it win require at least a year for their influence to be felt.” Hunt Negro Purse Snatcher Police today sought a Negro who leaped from an alley entrance Monday night and seized the purse of Mrs. Wilma Grimes, 712 North Illinoise street. The purse contained a small amount of money, Mrs. Grimes reported.
