OTHER PEOPLE’S COIN BOYS FIND I GOING TOUGHER *Truth in Securities Law' i Curbing Unrestricted Management Trusts. Bu Srrtppu-Hmc I*4 S'irtpnprr AUllnre WASHINGTON. Sept. 9—Stock Jobbing companies that make a practice of speculating with other people's money are finding the "truth in securities law" an irksome Instrument. Reference is made not to the ordinary typo investment trust, but to the so-called unrestricted management trust, the operators of which are given a free hand to play the stock market on a margin basis, to buy long and sell short. Heretofore, purchases of shares in many of the management trusts have been supplied very little information as to how their capital is used, the percentage of proceeds that goes to the operators and the possibilities of loss should the managers guess wrong on when to get in and when to get out of the market. None Registered Since the federal trade commission laid down the rules governing the information which must be made available to the public, not a single new issue of management trust shares has been registered. Commission officials say that they have been informed that several management trusts plan to discontinn* operations, unless the securities law is modified Very few difficulties under the securities law are encountered by the ordinary type investment trust, the operations of which ar° confined to the purrhasse and pooling of a diversified list of securities on a long term basis. However, a few investment trusts, in the face of the securities law, have deemed it advisable to do a little housecleaning on their own. One of rh“ largest recently registered anew issue, revealing that it made a charge of 9 per cent for "distribution"—in other words, the selling commission A few days later the trus‘ amended its registration to make the distribution cost 6 per cent. As High as 14 Per Cent Investment trusts have been known to slice off in different kinds of fees and commissions as much as 14 per cent of the money subscribed by shareholders. Federal trade commission officials believe that such charges will be discontinued whn th° trust managers are forced to make them public. The investment trust method of financing enjoys .i favored status under the commission's rules. In the registration of a straight industrial issue, the issuer is required to make a detailed statement of the physical assets back of the securities. But an investment trust need only list the securities in its portfolio. Even that requirement was protested by one group of trust managers, who objected violently on tne ground that a trust's portfolio was a "trade secret.'’ The trade commission merely laughed at the protest, CAUGHT IN MILE CHASE Negro, Suspected of Planning Robbery. Is Captured. Jesse Young. 22. Negro. 726 North Senate avenue, was captured by police early today after a chase of a mile and is held on a vagrancy charge.

7TTSCDK ""jybruc?caitqJ^^ INSTEAD OF DICTATORSHIP,” by Henry Hazlitt. proposes one of the most far-reaching political reforms ever suggested in this country; and if. as I suspect, it will win few converts, it at least is qualified to serve the very useful purpose of stirring up a lot of wholesome discussion. Hazlitt points, first of all, to the inescapable fact that our present form of federal government is exceedingly clumsy and inefficient. But he does not believe that these faults are inherent in democracy itself: they arise, he says. s:mply because our governmental framework creates them. In place of president and congress, Hazlitt would have a national council of twelve legislators, chosen at large by proportional representation. If any candidate got more than half the first-choice votes, he would be president; if not, the council would elect one of its own number president. The right of veto would be greatly modified. All hands would stand for re-election every’ two years; All of this may not appeal to you very greatly. But It does provoke thought about the fundamentals of our government, and for that reason it seems to me to be a useful, as well as readable, little article. It is one of the John Day Company’s 25-cent pamphlets. 4 PRISONERS FLEE IN LAGRANGE JAIL-BREAK B\j I’niteil Prc* LAGRANGE. Ind., Sept.

STATE TO GIVE MILLIONS FOR SCHOOL WORK McNutt Pledges Huge Sum for Education in Next Fiscal Year. Governor Paul V. McNutt Friday pledged $17,500,000 to grade and high schools of the state before the end of the 1934-35 school fiscal year. In making public his promise to pay, the chief executive predicted that $10,000,000 immediately can be slashed from the 1934 local tax levies through budgets now awaiting action before county tax adjustment boards. State payments to schools have not been given proper consideration in making up the budgets, he said. So a formula based on the Governor’s estimates has been worked out and is being sent to all local officials having anything to do with the school budgets and tax rate. McNutt discussed the program today w’ith members of the state education board. Millions to Be Given Revenues will be received by the school units from the excise collections on Nov. 1 and May 1. Gross income tax receipts will be distributed Jan. 1 and July 1. Total distribution for the school year 1933-34 will amount to more than $7,800,000, and 1934-35 the amount will be $9,700,000 according to the Governor’s estimates. It was estimated that not more than $7,500,000 has been allowed in 1934 school budgets for state payments and this should be increased by adjustment board to at least $10,000,000, the Governor said. The entire sum of $17,500,000 w’ill be lifted from the shoulders of the property taxpayers during the next two school years, the Governor pointed out. Average payment by the state will equal S9OO per teacher, he said. Agreed to Pay S6OO Under the law the state agreed to pay S6OO per teacher a year, if the money was available. County auditors were warned by Chairman Phil Zoercher of the state tax board to see that county adjustment boards take into consideration the state estimates of school payments. The board will insist that every cent of the $17,500,000 be deducted before the close of the school fiscal year for which budgets, in most cases now are being made, Zoercher declared. George C. Cole, state superintendent of public instruction, has advised all school officials throughout the state to co-operate with tax adjustment boards in .bringing about low’er property tax levies.
Sticky Fingers Money of Others Draws Negro—But He Has ‘Overlooked’ Some.

Baker in criminal court Friday, “I’ve been in trouble twice before and both times I was probated.” Before Baker on a grand larceny charge, Ewing. 60, of 2802 Martindale avenue, was charged with stealing $55 from the home of Edgar A. Coffman, for whom he was doing some work at Coffman's home. 4617 Sunset avenue. “Yessir. Judge, I took the money. I was in trouble both times for the same thing.” "Well, then, your trouble seems to be that you just can’t keep your hands off other people’s money,” commented Baker. * Ewing inclined his kinky head doubtfully. "No, sir. Judge, that ain’t so. why, probably I’ve overlooked six or seven hundred dollars then.’’ he said. Baker took the case under advisement.

‘AVOID politics; IS ROOSEVELT’S RELIEFWARNING Some Sections Coming ‘Hat in Hand’ for Funds, Says President. BY RUBY A. BLACK United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Sept. 9.—President Roosevelt Friday called for a greater effort on the part of the public in bringing relief to the unemployed. At the same time, he warned that there are many areas mingling the relief question with politics and then coming to the federal government “hat in hand" seeking federal funds. The President’s remarks, in which he sounded a hopeful note of improved economic conditions, were made on the White House lawn to officials of the 1933 mobilization for human needs conference. He pointed out that it was first the duty of private citizens and private agencies to assist the destitute. That failing, the cities must step in, then the state and finally the federal government, he said. “It is the inherent duty of the federal government to keep people from starving,” Mr. Roosevelt said, explaining however, that because the federal government provided funds, there should be no lessening of effort on the part of others. “There are some areas that have not done their share in meeting the relief problem,” he said. “They have come hat in hand asking relief of the federal government. There are some states and some municipalities where relief has been mixed with politics, some states where the legislatures have been thinking in political terms and not in human terms. “There are some cities spending for political purposes instead of the purposes of human need. Those cases, however, I am happy to say, are diminishing, not because we are wielding the big stick, but because we are making our objections clear.” “The people,” the President added, also are "making :t clear that the communities and states must play ball.”

City-Owned Utility Asks State to 0. K. Rate Cut
Public service commissioners are pondering over the request of the famed municipally owned electric plant at Washington to cut its profits $20,000 annually and low’er its kilowatt hour rate from 7 to 5 cents.
The request was laid 'oefore the commission Thursday afternoon by Mayor John W. McCarty of Washington. The mayor was joined by J. P. Adkins, plant superintendent, and Fred Dobbyn. in relating the history of municipal ownership which has caused Washington to be cited throughout the nation. Rate reductions asked at this time would place lighting in line with cooking and avoid unfair use, Adkins explained. A hearing before the commission was made necessary by the city’s request to increase the monthly minimum rate of 50 cents to sl. Domestic rates, however would be as low as 3 cents, cooking 2 cents, commercial 1.5 cents and large power rates as low as 1 cent per kilowatt hour. Despite the fact that compliance at the plant with the NRA code has added $l2O monthly to the overhead and the new state law reqires a tax of SIO,OOO this year, the lower rates will provide ample return on the city’s investment, Adkins testified. The new rates would be the lowest charged anywhere in southern Indiana, he said. In 1932, the Washington plant earned an 11 per cent return on a property investment of $666,000 and stands free of indebtedness, he testified. Its profit for the year was $72,000. after a 3 per cent allowance for depreciation had been made. Mayor McCarthy recounted that $40,000 annually had been transferred from the light plant account to the city general fund since 1930. He said that in 1933 nearly $90,000 would be transferred to pay costs of the city’s operation above the $6,275 sum allowed by the county tax adjustment board, which set the city tax levy at 11 cents. In 1930. the tax rate was $1.12, the mayor said. Plant profits have been used for unemployment relief. Mayor McCarty explained. Pay rolls were created through street and alley construction and the city now has a $150,000 public works program under way. Effort to reduce rates in 1927 was checkmated by the commission, the mayor asserted. Adkins said that only three months since the plant has operated have revenues declined. January was the only month this year when decrease was noted. Since then an increase has been registered monthly, despite depression, he said. “The cheaper rates are the more electricity people use,” he pointed out. “We look to have our revenues restored within three months after this decrease by reason of increased consumption.”
