TAX EMERGENCY ATTACK LOOMS AFTERHEARINGS Uhl Group Seeks Repeal; Board Cuts Levies in Three Small Units. A concerted drive for the repeal of "emergency” provisions of the tax rate limit lav loomed today as the Marion county tax adjustment board disbanded after approving three major budgets without change and reducing levies in one rural township and two towns. Albert E. Uhl. real estate board tax chairman announced his organization mill launch a campaign to persuade the next general assembly to abolish the emergency features of the tax law under which adjustment boards may permit rural tax rates to exceed $1 and urban rates in excess of *l5O. The adjustment board, which yesterday finished its work after a long secret session, this morning adopted formal resolutions declaring emergencies in all taxing units where tax rates exceed statutory limits. Schrader for Reduction A. C. Schrader, adjustment board member, voted for a reduction in the sl.lß Indianapolis civil city rate, it was disclosed after the meeting. Mr. Schrader also urged reduction of the *l|o.ooo oldage pension appropriation in the county budget to *90.000, the same figure allowed last year. The majority of members opposed these cuts. Appeals will be filed with the state tax board for reduction of the civil city, school city and Marlon county budgets, according to Harry Miesse. Indiana Taxpayers' Association secretary. Mr. Miesse contends at least *l.500 000 would be removed from the tax levies by eliminating what he terms a three-way provision to meet anticipated tax delinquencies and by using more of estimated working balances. Pay Restoration Cut Restoration of a 10 per cent pay cut to Beech Grove village employes was eliminated by the adjustment board, cutting the rate 5 cents. Franklin township levy was cut 5 rents because miscellaneous revenues were ‘held to be underestimated. A large treasury balance in Clermont was responsible for elimination of the 38-cent town rate.

The Theatrical World Will Rogers’ Picture Called ‘Masterpiece’ BY WALTER D. HICKMAN

'T'HE best thing that Will Rogers has done on the movie screen is his characterization of Judge Priest, a wise, considerate human judge of the old southern school. My verdict of the picture “Judge Priest” is that it is the best and most human picture that has had Will Rogers’ services. I am not forgetting “State Fair”

and the gloriously human “David H a r u m.” This Judge Priest story from Irvin S. Cobb's pen was made to order for the com edi an. This picture will establish Rogers as the leading and most powerful draw in movieland. Here is one movie that you will want to see more than

Will Rogers

once. That was my desire after seeing it at a preview. In the courtroom scene I laughed and cried so much that I lost many of the lines. Mr. Cobb has drawn characters from lives of men and women who figured in his childhood. Judge Priest even may be voted the most human character yet brought to the talking screen. Will does not make the judge a comedian, but a natural philosopher, who loves the underdog and makes it difficult for high-powered political lawyers to strut into his court. The old judge loves to fish, and it is not surprising that he turns Stepin Fetchit loose on a chicken stealing charge when it develops that Fetchit knows the location of a prize fishin’ hole if chicken bait is used. Rogers makes Judge Priest a pa-

thetic and interesting character! when a high-powered lawyer insists that the judge vacate the bench. This was Waterloo for the attorney because Priest steps down and becomes counsel for the defendant (David Landau as Bob Gillis). a a a THE court scene is not all sadness. Juror No. 12 (Francis Ford) is the champion tobacco spitter in the entire south. Juror No. 12 never was known to miss the cuspidor and he even measured his distance and “spat” from an angle. It's hokum comedy but a theatrical trick which causes everyone who sees this picture to j yell and scream out loud. I know that I made a nuisance of myself because I laughed so long and so loud. There are a lot of other funny scenes, notably one vwhen the former members of the Confederate army who habitually made up the jury allowed patriotism to swing their verdict. And their verdict was just, Watch Henry B. Walthall, as the Rev. Ashby Brand, take the witness stand. He sits for a while and then begins a dramatic recital of the bravery of the defendant under fire that will electrify any observer. Os course there is a sweet romance in this Will Rogers movie. Tom Brown and Anita Louise do the romancing in a nice way. If I am not all wrong. “Judge Priest” will take in more money 1 and please more people than any Will Rogers picture. To me it is a masterpiece. It opens tomorrow at the Apollo. n n u INDIANAPOLIS theaters today offer: “British Agent” at the Indiana; “The Barretts of Wimpole j Street” at Loew's Palace; “The Count of Monte Cristo” at the
