REVIEW BOARD DEFENDS CUTS IN VALUATIONS lnists on “Right to Use Own Judgment on 50 Properties. (Continued From Rage One) township outside the mile square had resulted in numerous increases to home owners, although business property in the downtown area still received the benefit of the 20 per cent blanket valuation reduction made by McCloskey last year. In previous statements. McCloskey had termed the increases an “equalization.” seeking to appraise all property in similar locations on an identical basis. The 'equalization” resulted in the 20 per cent cut being added in some cases, McCloskey admitted, and even reaching a higher figure than the valuation before the reduction. (ontradirted bv List Brattain's assertion that majority of reductions were made in cases of home owners partly is contradicted by the list of valuations to be appealed by McCloskey to the state tax board A partial list of the contested improvement valuations follow: Assessor s valuation Reduced to American Leather C'.ri.p.,,: ■ $ 45 000 I 24,000 Century ftlscul!

Calls it C ourtesy “Our meetings always have been op-m to the assessor’s offlre, although the law does not require his attendance, and it simply is a matter of courtesy,” Sloan said. Reductions have been made without the presence of a representative from tiv assessor's office, it was admitied. "The assessor’s office knew the board was in session, and could have attended the meeting without difficulty," Sloan declared. Accusing the board of “illadvised''' action. McCloskey charged that "protests had been invited.” Brat tain denied this charge with the assertion: “I don't remember inviting any one to appear before th" board We have had all we could handle without trying to get them in.” Zoercher Writes Sloan After a personal visit by McCloskey. Philip Zoercher, chairman oi (he state tax board, wrote Sloan of ihe complaint. "Word has come to us that information has gone around that the taxpayer need pay no attention to the not.ee given by the township assessor of an increase, for the reason that the board of review would restore the old figures,” Zccrcher wrote. “Os course, if the value that the assessor has made can not be defended and is not correct, then the board of review should exercise its judgment, but there should be no reduction unless investigation is made and all parties given a chance to be heard.” COMMISSION RENAMED All Members of Clark Memorial Body Are Reappointed.

Roosevelt Urges United Smash in Revival Drive

President Issues Plea for Every Person in U. S. to Aid Campaign. (Continued From Page One) code for all industry. Mr. Roosevelt observed: "This agreement already has brought a flood of approval from every state, and from so wide a cross-section of the common calling of industry that I know it is fair for all. “It is a plan—deliberate, reasonable and justintended to put into effect at once the most important of the broad principles which are being established, industry by industry. through codes. “Naturally, it takes a good deal of organizing and a great many hearings and many months, to get these codes perfected and signed, and we can not wait for all of them to go through. "The blanket agreements, however, which I am sending to every employer, will start the wheels turning now. and not six months from now." To the millions of men and women wage earners affected codes, the President also had a definite message and a word of encouragement. He declared that “the code* and the agreements already approved, or about to be passed upon, prove that the plan does raise wages and that it does put people back to work.” “You can look on every employer who adopts the plan as one who is doing his part." the President said, “and those employers deserve well of every* one who works for a living. It will be clear to you. as it is to me, that while the shirking employer may undersell his competitor, the savin? he thus makes is made at the expense of his country's welfare. “While we are making this great common effort there should be no discord and dispute. This is no time to cavil or to question the standard set by this universal agreement. It is time for patience and understanding and co-operation. "Tlie workers of this country have rights under this law which can not be taken away from them. but. on the other hand, no aggression now is necessary to attain those rights. The whole country will be united to get them for you. "The principle that applies to the employers applies to the workers as well, and I ask you workers to cooperate in the same spirit.” Pointing out that while he could not guarantee the success of the plan, the President asserted that

the people could, expressing the belief that “we can greatly influence economic forces." "I have no sympathy.” he said, "with the professional economists w*ho insist that things must run their course and that human agencies can have no influence on economic ills.” Mr. Roosevelt began his address by accounting briefly for his stewardship during the last four months and a half. He reviewed the moves for strengthening the financial structure of the government and the nation through his administration’s action in the banking situation and in reducing expenditures to meet income. Then he traced the steps toward increasing the purchasing power of the farmer through a reduction of crop acreage and production. "It is obvious," he said, “that if we can increase greatly the purchasing pow*er of the tens of millions of people who make a living from farming and the distribution of farm crops, we greatly will increase the consumption of those goods which are turned out by industry.” EATS TOO MUCH MELON Lee Daily, 40. Invokes Hospital Aid After Choking Spell. Lee Dailey. 40. of 1708 West Michigan street, couldn't agree with the doctors at city hospital Monday night. Despite that, Dailey was back home today, very much alive and well. Dailey, eating watermelon, started choking and police were called. Dailey said one of the seeds had caught in his windpipe. Doctors at city hospital said it hadn't. In fact, they brutally intimated that Dailey merely had eaten too much watermelon. At any rate, the doctors “repaired” Dailey, and he went back home, looking for more watermelon. HORSE DOCTOR ROBBED Rushville Man Victim in Fake Call to Farm Home. The business of doctoring horses is getting to be an expensive profession. At least that’s what Dr. J. B. Gragoo. of Rushville. decided Monday afternoon.

The thief fled toward Indianapolis in the stolen car.

EASY WAY TO ! BRING DRAUGHT BEER IS SHOWN and Fry’s Rule on Brew Sale Outside Cities Points to Legal Path. (Continued From Page One) what has come to be known as the "descriptive phrase" theorv. The beer control bill plainly defines “restaurant” as an eating place equipped to serve twenty-five "located within the corporate limits of any incorporated city or town." Fry's ruling held that the latter merely is a "descnptivc phrase" and not a “limiting clause" in the law. So. by the same token, parts of the law prescribing that beer be sold in bottles can be interpreted as merely descriptive phrases regarding sale of bottled beers, and not a limiting clause forbidding sale of keg beer, it has been pointed out. Section ten of the law lays down the rule for sale in bottles by brewers and importers, defining the case size to be not less than twenty-four twelve-ounce bottles, nor more than twenty-four bottles having cubic content of twenty-four fluid ounces.” Should the “heat" for a special draught beer session of the legislature become great enough, the excise director may use the "descrip ti v e phrase” method of legalization, it was said McNutt stood alone against draught beer during the 1933 legislature. He based his opposition on the contention that it w’ould bring back the barroom and would handicap repeal. ■With repeal voted, this no longer holds, he has admitted.

ACCUSED NURSE TO TAKE STAND l Performance of Illegal Operation Charged to Doctor’s Aid.

A notebook containing names, dates and amounts was offered in evidence by the state, but, on objec- | tion by the defense, the record was confined to an entry of Miss Jones’ name and an amount of $35. said by Miss Jones to have been the sum paid for the operation. Detective Ed Tutt. testified that I Miss Jones was found in an upstairs room of the house, in bed and “evidently suffering." Miss Winningham i showed evidences of intoxication, and Dr. Waltermire was “raving | drunk." Tutt declared. ASKS $35,000 DAMAGES County Resident Files Suit as Result of Auto Accident.
