Editor times—to enlighten the taxpayers of Marion county ns to the use to which their taxes are put I want to write a few Words. I sat in a courtroom this week and heard a ca c e tried by the Juvenile judge. A ‘man spanked his stepdaughter. age 20. for being indolent end for abusing and disobeying her mother. This judge heard the girl's testimony and gave the man no chance to present his version. I think the laws of man should correspond with the laws of our Maker. Perhaps if the Judge will read the following proverbs he will see where he is putting Marion county laws above the laws of the Almighty: Proverbs 13:24; 29:15; 22:15; 9:13; 19:18; 23: 13-14; Matthew 15:4-6: Mark 7:9-10. A BELIEVER IN GOD a a a EDITOR TIMES—I would like to be informed how to prepare "Hoover chicken" (jowl) without fuel. Last year the gas was turned cfT. as we could not, pay the bill, and since then we have used a coal Stove. For the last two months we have asked and begged for wood or coal, but received nothing but promises. Are we to believe that the trustees desire that we feed raw to our children that "Hoover chicken" (jowl*, which consists of much hog-hide and some fat, and at times so rank the odor can be smelled a block away. There also is other food in the "basket” that must be boiled or fried. Or do the trustees contend that it shall be fed raw, too. Are we to mix the flour with cold water, then feed our children? Without fuel, how can we do otherwise. If the trustees know how to prepare this food without fuel. pl°ase let us know. Or maybe Hoover, who is so generous with that "chicken” '.jowl*, has a special recipe that he Will favor sending us. S. A. NELSON. 1446 Naomi street. a a a EDITOR TIMES—I have not written your paper before, but I saw a piece of Sept. 20 that went under my skin. It was of the fees paid lawyers by veterans. If the veterans were given a square deal by the veterans’ bureau they would have no need for an attorney to sue for what is due them. I am speaking from experience. I have been more than a year and a half trying to get a pension, and all I get from the bureau is "I regret that a more favorable reply could not be given.” Believe me. if I knew a good lawyer who would take my case I surely would give it to him. I have two letters from Mr. Ludlow, and he says that I deserve the pension. READER. a a a * EDITOR TIMES— I've had a shock, the worst I've had since I was shell shocked in the Argonne. My suggestion is to inform “Patriotic,” who is ashamed of his name, to look up the Constitution of the United States, concerning oaths of soldiers and public servants. I didn't serve, as he did. in a civilian capacity. Most of those who are too yellow' to face the enemy are included in that class of people. My health was injured from my service of eighteen months dverseas, and I feel that if the United States can reimburse the man who made big money on this side, why shouldn't the United States take care of men like me? I class this man and Talcott Powell as the enemy I and several other Americans had to face. I suggest that your paper refrain from publishing such articles as that, calling ex-service .men goldbrickers and windbags. I know of a lot of people who will not read your sheet, due to such trash.

Prohibition, and all other parties: "The Forgotten Man Ls delving away in patient industry. trying to support his family, trying to pay his taxes, trying to exercise his legal right and cast his vote, trying to support the church and schools, and cheering occasionally an unusually parasitic politician, but he is the only one for whom there is no provision in the great scramble and the big divide."

ARREST POPE’S MEXICAN ENVOY Congress Urges Expulsion of Archbishop. Ry I nited Press MEXICO CITY, Oct. 4.—Expulsion from Mexico of Archbishop Leopoldo Ruiz Y w lores, papal legate to Mexico, was recommended unanimously by congress as the government continued its attack today on the church. The attack was precipitated by the pope's recent encyclical to the Mexican episcopate. The papal legate was arrested at his home early today, Archbishop Pascal Diaz of Mexico City told the United Press. Congress adopted a resolution proposing that a congressional committee urge President Abelardo Rodriguez to expel the archbishop. The president was given an unanimous vote of confidence on his statement replying to the pope, and threatening to convert churches into schools and factories if the “arrogant and defiant" attitude of the Vatican continues.

INDIANAPOLIS, TUESDAY, OCT. 4, 1932

Moose, which Davis dominates. The trial ended in a mistrial because of Moore's action. Moore appeared today in the chambers of Judge Henry J. Coleman. and threw himself upon the mercy of the court. He was in tears and utterly confused. He admitted having spoken to Charles J. Margiotto. defense attorney, to whom he denounced an alternate juror, who later was exonerated. "I'm sorry,” he said. “I erred.” "Your conduct tends to shake the public faith in the jury system," said Judge Coleman. "However, I do not think you were motivated by corrupt intent.”

In the forefront were two farmers on mules. The men—Don Howard and Bob Anderson—wore placards reading "Hhere is where Hoover Put Us.” ‘You can have the mules after the parade," shouted Howard, the owner, a farmer from the Des Moines area. "We can’t afford to feed 'em.” Temper Is Revealed That sally, half jesting, half hitter, revealed the temper of the farmers. Their repartee was gay enough, but it thinly masked a grim determination. The parade itself was an ironic pageant, with the import of discontinent flaming from the banners and told in pantomime. The farmers, demonstrating against low commodity prices which they hope to raise by withholding their products from the markets, cheered and yelled,, in their effort to dramatize their plight at the same time the President is going before the corn belt voters in a bid for votes in the November election. As the parade moved away from the capital recruits flocked in until it was estimated there w’ere 1.000 blue-clad farmers in the long line of livestock trucks. Leaders were forced to call a halt temporarily so the arrivals could be formed into line. Taunt Vice-President Typical slogans were: "Hoover, Hyde, Hell and Hard Times.” "Mr. Curtis Were not so damned dumb in 1932—Signed: Mr. and Mrs. lowa Farmer.” That last slogan was prompted by Vice-President Charles Curtis’ reported rejoinder to a heckler in an lowa audience who demanded explanation of his stand on the farm question. As the parade turned down Locust street, the main thoroughfare of Des Moines, many men and womi en. boys and girls got down from the trucks and marched behind them. Drive All Night They passed through an avenue of spectators along the street, gay with flags and pennons erected to honor the President when he follow's the same route a few hours hence. Additional trucks caught up with the rear* of the procession, after plowing through muci and negotiating rain drenched highways during all night drives. By the time the parade crossed the ’ Des Moines river, traffic policemen estimated there w'ere 2,500 in the line. “Give us our right, folks, and we won’t have to parade,” shoulted H. P. Fuglsang. leader of the group of 100 men from Clinton county, across the state along the Mississippi. His delegation left at midnight and rode all night m a cattle truck and trailer. There w’ere lowa farmers and their wives and a few children from nearly every part of the state. They had arrived half frozen, but with undaunted spirits.

The open shops can not compete with prison labor. In most cases these factories reduce the working days.

UTILITY RATE PRODE BY TAX BOARDURGED Charges to City, County and Township Governments May Be Aired. FESLER 1 MAKES DEMAND County Adjustment Group Will Discuts Proposal Later This Week. Demand for an investigation of utility rates being charged city, county and township governments was made today before the county tax adjustment board by Leo K. Fesler, former county auditor and one of its members. Fesler's demand came during the body's study of budgets of all county units in an effort to pare government costs to a minimum. "If there is anything that ought to be investigated by this board it is rates being charged by utilities for service to the city and county. This bill amounts to more than a milion dollars yearly, and offers an almost certain avenue of reduction,” Fesler declared. Although no immediate steps were taken on Fesler's demand, the board indicated the proposal will be discussed at a later session of the six-day meeting. Pare Tuberculosis Levy The board took its first step toward reduction of expenses today by paring .5 cent off the tentative tuberculosis levy of 2.5 cents, and ordering reduction of 25 per cent in all salaries over $2,000. Salary of the superintendent was ordered cut 40 per cent from $5,400. It appeared the tentative general fund levy of 21.75 cents would be pared to 17.5 cents, although final action was delayed until Wednesday. Subject of utility rates was injected into the meeting when Fesler criticised members for ”quibbling” over abrogation of contracts of school bus drivers in Warren township. Albert Walsman, state legislator and representative of the Indiana Taxpayers’ Association, produced figures showing the drivers are receiving more than $6 a day on a basis of 16 cents a mile. This figure, he declared, could be cut to 7 cents with reasonable income for the drivers. Board members suggested cancellation of the contracts, but were informed that agreements with the township extend over a four-year period. The board indicated the mileage allowance will be pared to the 7-cent maximum. Slash Proposals Made Three outstanding methods of reducing budgets were advocated by as the board began its deliberation Monday when members indicated there is little possibility of the county levy being reduced radically below the tentative rate of 41.25 cents. Methods proposed are: Application of a percentage cut on all budgets, leaving the apportionment of the cut on various budget items to officials of the taxing unit involved. Return of the budgets to officials, without the board’s approval, ordering officials to make their own reductions. Slicing budgets by considering them item by item. Fesler informed the group he •would not approve any tax above $3 The board generally agreed it would be impossible to cut budgets so as to observe the $1.50 tax limit law.

CITY GRANTS TROLLEY BUS LINE PERMIT Agreement Reached Pending Settling of Trackless Route Franchise. SCHEDULE IS SET OUT \ Electric Autos to Be Put Into Service Early in November. Temporary six-months' permit, revocable at any time by the city, has been granted Indianapolis Railways, Inc., for the operation of trackless trolley busses beginning early in November, over anew line combining the present South Meridian and Riverside street car lines, Mayor Reginald H. Sullivan today. The new route extends from the South Meridian street loop at Pleasant Run Boulevard to Riverside park, permitting passengers to make the entire trip without transfer charge and at the same fare now charged on street cars. Transfer also is permitted to other lines at regular transfer charge of 2 cents. Fetition for the permit was submitted to Sullivan and the board of works late Monday, incorporating an agreement reached last week after several conferences between city officials and representatives of the street car company. Seen Victory for CityInclusion in the permit of a paragraph providing for the company to bear a share of street resurfacing and repair charges represents a victory by city officials who insisted throughout >he meetings on such an arrangement in view of the fact that the trackless trolleys will operate on several street sections where there are no tracks. The resurfacing paragraph in the permit states: "The company shall continue to maintain and repair all its existing tracks and equipment in any such streets and places, whether used or not in such new service, and shall keep all such streets and places free of any unreasonable obstructions. or from defects, due to its conduct, and shall promptly remedy the same and hold the city harmless from any loss or expense caused thereby. "If any such street, while this permit is in effect, be resurfaced or widened, the company shall pay 10 per cent of the cost, and if any such street be constructed or reconstructed, the company shall pay 5 per cent of the cost.” McKinney Is Upheld In earlier meetings on the subject, E. Kirk McKinney, president of the board, declared: "Due to the fact that no tracks will be necessary on a portion- of the route, it is my opinion that the city should look to the street car company for a share of the expense in keeping these streets repaired.” "Under the franchise of the company for street car lines, it is agreed that the company maintains the area occupied by the tracks, which represents nearly one-half of the street surface, in many cases," McKinney asserted. "We feel that a similar arrangement should be incorporated in the trackless trolley franchise, inasmuch as these vehicles operate from electrical current and pay no gasoline tax."

C. O. Britton and Louis Brandt, board members, concurred in McKinney's opinion. When several conferences failed of a decision on the terms of the franchise, and the company pointed out the approach of winter to handicap necessary construction work, the permit was arranged for operation of the line until the franchise is settled. Schedule Is Set Out According to the petition, a permit for operation of the line now is pending before the public service commission. Busses and other equipment have been ordered and will be placed in operation early in November, the petition states. Operating schedule of the new line, as set forth in the petition, provides for at least six busses at eleven minute intervals at all i times. In rush periods, from 6 to 8 am., 3nd from 4 to 6 p. m., ten buses will operate at 7> 2 -minute intervals.
