FIGHT. SALARY INCREASE FOR
REGISTRATION!
C. of C. Contests Budget Proposal Made by County Clerk.
(Continued from Page One)
demand extra -workers next year,” Mr. Ettinger said. He cited new features in the law as partly responsible for the added , cost and additional help as follows: First, notification of voters who haven't voted in the last two general elections that they must register or be dropped from the files; second, notices to be sent out for reinstatement of registration; third, notives of cancellation of registrations, W. A. Brown, adjustment board chairman and president of the Marion County Council, substantiated Mr. Ettinger’s statement that the Indiana League of Women Voters approved the salaries item in the 1937 budget. In discussing an increase of $4900 in salaries of other employes in the county clerk's office, Mr. Ettinger said the increase was for removing salary cuts, explaining the restoration would not amount to 10 per cent of the salaries of the clerks affected. Takes Voluntary Cut
He told the board members that it was valuable to the welfare of police and other departments of government to the registration books up-to-date, even in off-years. One voluntary budget cut was taken today when County Auditor Charles Grossart told the board that he would agree to slicing $1500 for extra help in his office. Attaches say the item was placed in his budget by mistake. Mr. Grossart criticised any county budgeting method that would fail to appropriate enough money for all departments without the need of additional appropriations during the year, - Hearing Is Set
The board announced that citizens "of Perry Township would be given an opportunity at 1 p. m.-to-morrow to protest the budget proposed by. Leonard Hohlt, township trustee. The Perry tax -rate, according to residents, reaches an alltime high this year with the proposed $2.345 against last year’s rate of $1.71. The county budgets under consideration today and tomorrow show a general fund levy request of $1,452,898.50 for an 18':-cent. tax rate; $512,596.70 for the sinking fund or an 8':-cent levy; $160,356 for the tuberculosis hospital or a 2-tent levy; and a welfare department levy of $2,393,569 or a 17-cent levy of which $968,000 is to be raised by property taxes in the county. County officials have asked a 46cent rate, an increase of 8 cents over the current levy. They are to tell board members that the increase was caused by the newly established welfare department. City Raje Cut Cent At last night's meeting board members made another tentative 1- ~ cent reduction in the civil city: 1937 tax rate, bringing the figure now to $1.14. City officials originally requested a rate of $1.1612 on each $100. of taxable property. This was first reduced, to $1.15 by cuts of $46,950 made Tuesday night in the proposed city general fund budget. The additional tentative 1-cent reduction made last night was not accompanied by reduction of any budget items. Board members said
+ light and : power,

this slash was based on an anticipated additional $25,000 poll tax revenue that had not been considered when the budget was prepared, and $28,000 that may be paid to the city by trustees of the Citizens Gas and Coke Utility.
Utility Not Taxable
The city now has no power to tax the municipally owned gas company, it was explained. Mr. Book has claimed that officers of the ‘utility are to go before the next Indiana General Assembly and ask that a law be passed enabling them to give the city money to replace lost taxes. If the board members cut $235,000 item for city salary .increases, the civil city levy may be fixed at a figure near the $1.11 rate now in-effect. . Additional tentative minor reductions made last night in the civil city budget were: . City Hospital—Fuel, from $30,000 to $28,000. Park Department — Communioation and transportation, from $2345; . to $2145; repair, from $2350 to $2000; office supplies; from $550 to $500; general - materials, from $2250 to $1850. Sanitation Depsriment — Heat from $1200 to $1000; fuel and ice, from. $1200 to $1000; garage and motor supplies, from $22,000 to $21,000; office supplies, from $150 to $100; equipment, from $15,000. to $10,000. ‘Forrest M. Logan, acting state PWA director, appeared before the tax board yesterday and discussed the proposed grant. for new ‘school building during . the hearing .on the school budget. - Walter Horn, Indiana Taxpayers’ Association representative, urged that the $875,000 building appropriation be halved—and that application be.made to PWA te finance the rest of' the program. ' - School board members declare the $875,000 is needed because of the uncertainty of the Federal grant.
Mayor ‘Deprecates’
Park Concert Ban
Mayor Kern today said he “depre= cates” elimination of budget items for the Garfield Park summer symphony and for membership in the United States Conference of Mayors after his session with the County Tax Adjustment Board. The $1500 request for concerts, he pointed out, had been attended by more than 14,000 last summer and plans have been made to build a natural amphitheater at the South Side park for next year. The Mayors’ conference, he said, has been helpful to the city, although Indianapolis has not subscribed for three years.

Army Wants Action
A showdown will be difficult to avoid much longer. Adding to the danger. the Japancse army in Manchuria, Jehol, Inner Mongolia and North: China is known to.be raring to go. 3 : Since Sept. . 18, 1931, when it ‘began to, overrun -Manchuria, the army looked upor. Japan's mission cn. the Asiatic mainland as its exciusive property. It has brooked no interference on the part of civilian officials in Tokyo on Japanese diplomats in China. Eastern Asia is frankly and openly regarded as a field of action for the Japanese army and it is impatient at delay. Where it will stop nobody can say. Reports persist that the present wave of anti-Japanese activity in China will be seized upon to justify a new Chrust at the expense of that country, rly this year the Japanese army attempted to convert the five principal provinces in the north into a buffer state under its control. But something went wrong and the coup only partially succeeded. A new attempt now is said to be ‘in preparation.
Warships Ready Japanese warships are ready for action off the North China coast up the Yangtze River opposite Hankow, at Shanghai, and within striking distance of Canton—all re-

cidents, they assert, were caused by other Japanese. In at least some cases rleterminationn of the actual cause of death was made all the more difficult because of the hurried cremation of the victims. All that was left to go en was the testimony of possibly interested parties and the Japanese simply disregs rd Whatever of this they

SIMPSON TRIAL OPENS MONDAY
American Sailor to Be Tried in. Nazi Court on. Espionage Charge.
By United Press : : ‘ BERLIN, Sept. 24.—Contrasting the usual secrecy with which m Peoples Court trials are conducted, it was expected today that the German pris will provide more details than usual about next Monday's high treason and espionage trial of Lawrence Simpson, an American sailor. Because of the trials Communist
ernment will consider it valuable
anti-red propaganda, although the Ministry of Justice has not decided Rigthet to admit the public and
Ding the last case of an American before the court—that of Richard Roiderer who was freed—the rress and public were admitted but the charge against Roiderer was less serious than that against Simpson. In the majority ~of Peoples Court cases the public has been excluded shortly after the trial has started. Simpson was arrested aboard the S. S. Manhattan in Hamburg harbor June 28, 1935, and has been in custody ever since. The charge against him is smuggling and distribution of illegal Communist literature into Germany. German police acted on the grounds that Simpson's activities were hostile to the state thus giving them the power to arrest aboard a foreign ship as long as i was within territorial waters. Although it was believed that the case will have ramifications extending far beyond Simpson himself, the trial was expected to last only two days with: the court handing down
completion of the evidence. wh COY ACTS TO' CHECK SHORTAGE OF LABOR
