Leslie*s Claim of Huge State Surplus Ridiculed

Democratic legislative leaders today rallied to attack an assertion by Governor Harry G. Leslie, retiring Republican, that he is releasing reins of the state with a healthy balance of $17,762,277.65 in the treasury. Leslie made the statement in his message at the opening session of the general assembly Thursday. Democrats grew suspicious when they learned that he had not procured the figure through the office of Floyd E. Williamson, state auditor. Williamson, who, with Lawrence F. Orr, chief of the state board ot accounts, has predicted a $3,000000 general fund deficit at the close of the fiscal year Sept. 30, pointed out that the Governor's figure bore little or no relation to the general fund, which represents the actual state of financial affairs, he asserts. The general fund rece“ as all revenue, largest part of which is paid under special statutory regulations. What remains must carry the cost of the government from day to day, and unless new revenues are found this will oe insufficient, he said. Leslie merely took the bank balances from the treasurer’s office. “It is like giving the figure for your bank balance and not mentioning that more than that amount of

' checks are outstanding,” Williamson explained. Senator Anderson Ketchum (Dem., Greensfcurg), president pro tem. of the senate, asserted that if the state was in such fine shape as Leslie claimed, there would be no need of the present session of the legislature. “Instead, we are facing financial ruin and the gravest social problems in history,” Ketchum declared. Figures in the auditor’s office disclose that only $3,610,470 was in the general fund for all purposes of state government on Jan. 1. This is how Leslie's total is made up, as of Jan. 1: State highway funds, $5,541,321; gasoline tax, $4,374,157; rotary fund for penal institutions, $282,544; school revenues, $1,821,684; teachers’ retirement fund, $537,014; Purdue trust fund, $340,000; common school, $5,374; motor police, $51,701; World war memorial, $113,143; Clark memorial, $49,026; fire marshal, $12,513; library building, $453,157; forestry, $37,131; unclaimed estates, $136,603; architects’ fund, $2,341; swamp lands, $22,288; Dunes state park, $11,471; educational improvement fund, $296,599; agriculture board, $40,540; permanent endowment interest, $18,185, and sinking fund to protect bank deposits of state in lieu of bonds, $5,564.

Tarkington Skits Will Be Heard on Air Network Hoosier Author Writes for Programs to Be Presented for Nation’s Children. Booth Tarkington, Hoosier novelist, and his friends and admirers will be twisting the radio dial Monday afternoon at 5 p. m. to catch the coast-to-coast broadcast of his series of child skits, “Maud and Cousin Bill,” over the WJZ network of the National Broadcasting Company. Announcement of the broadcast was made Friday by Tarkington's publishers, Doubleday-Doran & Cos., New York.

The City in Brief

Mrs. Florence Webber, 1018 North Jefferson avenue, reported to police early Friday night that a stockilybuilt man seized her purse containing S2O in cash and a S2O check as she was walking on Jefferson avenue after leaving a street car. Three Negroes are held today on burglary and larceny charges following theft from a basement locker of SIOO worth of dishes, property of Mrs. Belle Rhude, 1327 Central avenue. Those held are John Willis, 26, apartment house custodian, his wife, Dorothy, and Morris Greathouse, all of 513 East Fourteenth street. Valuable papers and jewelry valued at $45 were reported stolen from the home of Carl C. Berry, 3645 College avenue, early Friday night. Entrance was gained by breaking the glass in a window. All men who have served in the United States navy have been invited to attend a meeting of the United States Naval Veterans at 8 p. m. Monday in the D. A. V. hall, 108 North Delaware street. Richard G. Froendhoff, state vice-com-mander, will preside. Co-operation of the railroads, trucks and bus systems of the state in order to meet the public desire for more and better transportation was urged by Sam C. Hadden, former secretary of the Indiana Highway and Motor Association, in an address before the Exchange Club Thursday. Members of the Indianapolis Dental Society and their wives will : hear Professor George W.

Marshall W. George, secretary, and David A. Coleman, president of the Stone Investment Company, a subsidiary, were each sentenced to two years in prison and fined $5,000. All were remanded to custody of the United States marshal.

At his home, 4270 North Meridian street, the author explained the birth of the radio skits w’ith, “We experimented with similar sketches over a small network several monthn ’ ago largely to see how they would be received, and how well the children could present their parts.” Letters received by the broadcasting company encouraged them to make the program a general one throughout the nation, Tarkington said. “I am finding it very interesting to work for the radio,” Tarkington said. “I suppoe that in the future people will push a button rather than pick up a book when they come home at night, receiving their information through radio and television rather than from the printed page. We may not see this completely developed for fifty or one hundred years, however,” he declared. The broadcasts of the sketches from Tarkington’s pen will be given each Monday, Wednesday, and Friday over the WJZ chain. POISONING IS DOUBTED Women Rushed to Hospital; Police Believe No Tablets Were Taken. Mrs. Helen Henley, 421 East Ninth street, was sent to city hospital by police Friday night after she had told her husband she had taken poison.

Label on the bottle stated con- ; tents to be twenty-five tablets. When counted by police, there were exactly twenty-five tablets in the bottle, they said. The history of money is traced to a time when skins of animals were a “standard” 'payment; later, small, odd-shaped bits of the skins were clipped off and passed as token of possession, for the owner of the skins could prove his ownership by fitting the pieces to the skins.

1874—1933 Co-operation made possible the incorporation of the Association in 1874. This same spirit has continued throughout all these years with the result that the Association has grown to an institution with Assets of over 13 million. The Officers and Directors recognize and fully appreciate the value of this co-operation. They feel that it has been to a large degree responsible for the regular earnings which have made possible the fact that dividends have been declared semi-annu-ally every year since 1874.

THOMAS RAPS AT GLAIMS OF TECHNOCRATS Contribution to Finding a Cure Total Zero, Says Socialist. (Continued From rage One) face value, then, what do we have? Nothing but an analysis of figures touching on a small phase of economics. without a plan of further procedure, without a blue print for the future, and without any constructive system to replace what it would tear down. “In its theory regarding the pyramiding of debt, technocracy is right. It offers nothing to prevent this pyramiding, however, and it fails utterly to touch on the problems of distribution. "It considers the dollar-system as the measure of wealth and production, but it forgets that it is also the measure of human desire, and leaves that element entirely out of its calculations. “Whether you disbelieve in Socialism, and hold it up to criticism, or whether you agree with it, you must admit at least that it offers a program for the better distribution of labor, of prohibition, and of wealth. It has a definite plan, which technocracy completely lacks.” The Socialist plan for reconstruction of the social orders, as announced in its political campaigns is for “the transfer of the principal industries of the country from private ownership and aytocratic, cruelly inefficient management, to social ownership and democratic control.” It proposes to effect these changes through legislation, and would flatten out the pyramids of wealth through “steeply increased inheritance taxes and income taxes on the higher incomes and estates of both corporations and individuals.” “How can Socialism achieve its end?” Thomas was asked. “Through education and through unity of the workers,” he said. “And since the technocrats have called attention to one phase of the economic situation, and set some people to studying it—we have to thank them for that much.”
