The office ‘of Secretary of State still remained wide open while in« {cumbent Thomas E. Bath sat {tight on his intentions.

Judge Stevenson Urges

More Money for Cities By LOUIS ARMSTRONG Repeal of the state cigaret tax was being considered today by state Democrats as a possible plank in their 1948 state platform. The state platform committee which met today with a number iof Indiana Democratic mayors - is not certain the repeal plank will go into the platform. Howe ever, the idea was a definite point Hl {of conversation today. Judge A. J. Stevenson, Danville, former state appellate court judge. conducted the meeting this morning in the Claypool Hotel. Feeney Attends Meeting Mayor Al Feeney, who has ale ready begun a personal campaign to .get more money out of the state for Indianapolis, was among those present. | Judge Stevenson said: “It is {unanimously agreed that a reapportionment of state funds to cities and towns 8 a neecssity. “Hoosier municipalities today are broke, streets are bad andthey are generaly in need of fin.ancial support. More funds must be alloted to them by the state {and it is only a question from

come.” Study Several Plans Judge Stevenson sald the Demos crate were considering several means of raising more money for the cities. « Included in the list were increased gasoline tax and legislation which would per ‘mit cities and towns to levy their own income tax on their resi. dents. | Mayor Feeney said he was not too enthusiastic” about “fine sounding political platforms” and ‘added that he “ran successfully {for Mayor last year without one. “I believe the best way to get a platform across is to buttonhole all our candidates for the - General Assembly and obtain their commitments to our program.” he declared. ty “I'm for any plan, however, [that will return a larger share of «state taxes to Indianapolis.” - -
