LESLIE PRAISES INDIANA SYSTEM I OF TAXREVIEW •Home Rule in Its Best I Sense,’ He Tells New England Council. By :l imes Special BOSTON, Mass., Nov. 19.—Indiana's plan of state control of local governmental finances was cited as ‘home rule in its best sense” by Governor Harry G. Leslie in addressing the New England council here today. The Hoosier chief executive voiced high praise for members of the Indiana state tax board, charged w'ith administration of the Indiana plan, and called that body "nonpartisan and non-political.” It is composed of two Republicans and one Democrat and appointments are made by the Governor at the expiration of four-year terms. State Control “Essential” Pointing out that 75 cents of every Indiana tax dollar goes for schools or highways, and that 75 cents out of every tax dollar is raised by county or lesser political subdivisions, the Indiana Governor contended that state control of expenditures became essential. "Investigation disclosed there were many taxing units in our state where the grossest sort of mismanagement and extravagance were being practiced,” he declared. “We realized fully the inclination of many taxing officials to expend public funds generously. Many inexperienced and incompetent officials had exaggerated ideas of appropriate public improvements, which resulted in excessive costs of administration.” The Governor then related the various laws which have established state control of tax expenditure in his state. A saving of 100 tax dollars for every cent expended for administration has resulted, he asserted. Lauds Tax Commission "The state tax commission, a nonpartisan body, is far removed from political or other local influences of the communities affected,” Governor Leslie explained. “The members are selected with due regard for their honesty, integrity and business capacity. Its members in the past have been some of our most outstanding, patriotic and capable citizens. They have reflected signal credit upon our state through their wise administration. "I would not be giving credit where credit is due if I did not advise you that much of the successful achievement of the Indiana plan of tax supervision has been due to the intelligence and honesty of those who have been charged with its administration.” STREET CAR VETERANS WILL ATTEND BANQUET Twenty-Year Club to Hold Fourth Annual Fete Tonight.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

witt and a Jury In the first day rs the trial Wednesday. Fourteen deputies came upon the suspected men on a railroad siding. Deputy Jim Daniels—later slain in a bloody ambush at Evarts—first arrested a Negro. Burnett fled and the six witnesses said they gave chase, going to a box car behind which Burnett had gone. “Burnett, just had cleared the end of the *car when two shots were fired and Pace fell,” Deputy White testified. “Burnett then ran to the other end of the car and opened fire on me. I dropped behind an embankment, got up, and returned the fire. We shot at each other from behind the opposite wheels of the car.” White said he did not actually see Burnett shoot at Pace. Deputy Earl Brock said he saw Burnett shoot twice at Pace, who returned fire. All deputies agreed Pace started shooting after he was shot down.
