HOME OWNERS TO BE HELPED BTROOSEVELT Early Action Also Expected to Be Taken on Farm Credits. BY FREDERICK A. STORM I,'mini Pr.M Mart Wrilfr WASHINGTON. Marrh 22.—President Roosevelt is planning early action on farm credits and relief for the small home owner, it was learned today. Sources close to the White House said that the President was prepared to submit to congress within the next fpw days a message and bill on farm credit to be followed by legislation along similar lines for the small home owner. The same sources took occasion at the same time to point out that in connection with Mr. Roosevelt's relief plan, that he was represented as not at all concerned over reports which tried to link the scheme to some form of military action. It, was explained that his proposal for placing 250.000 men in camps on the public domain was the only practical way his reforestation and flood control program could be started. As to the regulations such as enlistments for a year, it was pointed out that this was done purely for the purposes of maintaining order and that no military training was even remotely contemplated. As to the dollar a day wage, it was said that the 250.000 men would not be in competition with labor, and that their hiring just was a start toward the relieving of 12,000,000 persons in distress. Furthermore, it w'as recalled that the dollar a day wage and the additional dollar a day it will cost the government to house and clothe and feed this army compared favorably to the rate of wagps paid day labor in many localities of the United States.

BRIEF FILED AGAINST NEW CHAIN TAXES Increased Levies “Unjustifiable,” Supreme Court Told. Brief citing the increase in chain store tax made by the 1933 legislature as “unjustifiable” is on file today in the appeal against the original law pending in the supreme court. The legislature increased the tax on chains of more than twenty stores from $25 to $l5O. Appeal under the old law was taken to the high court when an injunction against collection on oil service stations was refused by Marion circuit court. The case was brought in the name of the Midwestern Petroleum Corporation. The state tax board is defendant. In the brief it is pointed out that to use the number of stores, without reierence to business done, is an unjust classification and will not stand under the United States supreme court opinion upholding the original Indiana law in the Jackson case. Attorneys w ! ho prepared the brief, which covers 180 pages, were William Henry Harrison, James W. Noel, Hubert Hickani, Alan 'W. Boyd and Robert D. Armstrong.

M’NUTT POWER CURB REFUSED Baltzell Denies Temporary Restraining Order Asked by License Manager. A temporary restraining order against Governor Paul V. McNutt and other state officials was refused by Federal Judge Robert C. Baltzell late Tuesday in connection with a suit attacking McNutt’s state reorganization plan. The court declined to issue an order restraining McNutt; William Storen, state treasurer, and Floyd E. Williamson, state auditor, from assuming control of the state automobile license bureau. The equity siut was filed by Oliver Loomis, South Bend attorney, on behalf of Ralph Wetzel, manager of the South Bend automobile license bureau. State attorneys agreed, after conference with Loomis, that defendants would take no action to remove Wetzel pending court hearing. Constitutionality of the reorganization plan is attacked by the suit. It contends McNutt’s plan would impair the obligation of contract between Wetzel and Frank J. Mayr Jr., secretary of state, also named defendant in this action. Date for a hearing before a threejudge court has not been set. While other branch managers have been removed, Wetzel still holds his job, although the suits declare he is in danger of losing his position because of McNutt's centralized power act.

TooManyDogs Community Protests Unwanted Pets 'Dumped’ in District.

Residents of the Home Croft addition, near Southport. are protesting that the community is being used by owners of unwanted dogs as a dumping ground. The floating dog population at present consists of a collie, a bird dog and two “just dogs”—-one black, the other brown. Dogs are dumped from automobiles, according to residents of the addition, the practice often resulting in injury of the animals. “We have tried to provide homes for most of the dogs,” a woman explained, "and once even went so far as to take an injured dog to a veterinarian, but we feel we are being imposed upon and hope dog owners will find some other and more humane method of disposing of their unwanted pets.”
