"TRUSTEE TERM SUITS EXPECTED

Two Women Again Refused Place on Election Ballots.

Mrs. Maude G. Hobson and Mrs. Myrtle Buehl conferred with attorheys today on plans for filing suits to force the Election Boafd to include their names on the ballot as candidates for Center Township Trustee. The Election Commissioners, by a 2 to 1 vote, refused the candidates’ requests.

A similar request was turned down |} I by the Board before the Primary: election last spring and Mrs. Hob-|

son filed suit to mandate the board.

Circuit Court Judge Earl R. Cox|’

turned down the request.

The dispute centers on the ap- :

pointment by County Commissioners of Henry F. Mueller as Center Trustee last winter to Thomas M. Quinn, who resigned. Mrs. Hobson, Republican, and| Mrs. Buehl, Democrat, contended that the appointment could be effective only until the next general election. Commissioners, however, named Mr. Mueller to fill out Mr. Quinn's unexpired term. Mrs. Hobson's suit last spring was based on an effort to force her name on the ballot. The attorneys, Frank A. Symmes, for Mrs. Hobson, and Leo X. Smith, for Mrs. Buehl, indicated they would file suits this time to declare the office vacant

APPROPRIATION RECORD IS SET

Expected to Exceed 17 Bil-|

lion With Debt Limit Abandoned.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 27 (U. P.). —This session of Congress will break all peace time appropriations records

by voting $16,800,000,000.

There have been authorizations

but not appropriations for an additional $4,000,000,000, largely for the Navy.

Chairman Edward R. Taylor of

the House Appropriations Committee is authority for the estimates.

The totals approximate what it cost| § to run the Government in the fiscal

years 1924-25-26-27-28. It compares with $1,006,000,000 appropriated by Congress for the fiscal year 1909, the first “billion dollar Congress.” National defense spending will junk President Roosevelt's 1941 budget before the fiscal year ends

next June 30. Hope of holding the national debt below $45,000,000,000 ‘has been abandoned. The figure now is $44,057,000,000. The deficit is increasing at a rate

of $300,000,000 a month and now is

being financed out of the $1,000,000,000 the Treasury ¢an borrow for

fense designed fo be issued by the oiler

than national defense purposes. The next Congress will have to increase the debt limit.

Action of the railroad in arbitrarily discontinuing confronted the Commission with a highly technical legal problem. The Commission's rule is that any railroad, before abandoning a service, must file a petition with the Commission. The rule neglected, however to specify that the Commission should rule on the case before the service is discontinued. The Monon filed a petition for abandonment of the two trains last o November, and a hearing was held at Delphi in December.
