NEW MAYOR IS SWINGING AX IN NEW YORK Drastic Salary Slashing and Finance Program May Put Jimmy in Background. Hu I nitrd Press NEW YORK, SPpt. 7.- Drmorratic hopes for swinging Npw York state to Roosevelt in November soared today with assurance of help from pivotal Tammany hall allies and signs that Mayor .Joseph V. McKee's drastic $2,000,000 salary slash and financial program might foree Tammany to forget James J. Walker. The developments which cheered Democratic presidential campaigners were these: John H. McCooay, Brooklyn boss holding the balance of power in any move to renominate James J. Walker for mayor, gave assurance he would campaign for Franklin D. Roosevelt regardless of what Walker did. Mayor McKee, Roosevelt man all the way, slashed his own salary from $40,000 to $25,000. Big Salaries Slashed He gave notice that all other department heads after Oct. 1 would receive no more than $12,000 ihitting many Walker appointees). He broke a Tammany printing monopoly doing $2,000,000 business annually. He gave notice that $2,000,000 annually would be cut from the city's salary budget, while protecting workers in the $2,000 class. The trend of events ever since Walker announced his resignation under fire ‘'to seek vindication from the people,” has been toward the probability that “vindication” would not come in the November election, although Tammany hall has indicated it backed the former mayor to the limit. Jobless Probe Planned Mayor McKee also announced plans for a police survey of the jobless. rind said he intended to find out what New r York bought and paid for with Its $3,000,000-a-month relief expenditures. There have been charges that Tammany hall “political jobs” were financed with relief money, Shortly after McKee’s session at city hall he hurried downtown with Controller Charles W. Berry and within half an hour had arranged a $10,000,000 city loan at s' tier cent. The last large city loans required weeks of negotiations by Walker and cost s:ti5 :t i per cent. PROTEST TREASURER'S FEES IN TAX APPEAL Allowances In Sexton Assailed by Marion County Association. Allowances of Timothy P. Sexton, county treasurer, for collection of delinquent taxes from non-resident property owners today became the target of an appeal filed in circuit court by the Marion County Association for Tax Reduction. The appeal asserts that Sexton is pocketing 25 per cent of such collections, in violation of the state budget law. Despite a 1927 law empowering the treasurer to keep one-fourth of non-resident tax payments, the appeal contends the law did not contemplate collection without filing court suits in other states. The suit seeks redress from a claim of $3,732.93 already allowed Sexton by county commissioners. SOVIET STATE IS TOPIC Autonomous Jewish Republic to Be Discussed by College Head.
