Must Be Voted On By People Of State At Special Election. (There seems to be a great deal of the proposed constitutional amend ments. The following article presents each of the amendments in layman's Tli explanations were prepared by Charles Kettleborough. director of the legislative information bureau. Instead of telling what the technical change will be the explana ttom tell just what the change wil do. EDITOR'S NOTE.) ivtitanapolis. June 1". la re sponse to the many requests recieved by Charles Kettleborou jh. director of the Indiana legislative information bureau, for concise explanations of .o v ii-t n nninossd constitution .t-in-T5Tit. to ba voted on by the people of the state at the special election Sept. 6, a brief statement was issued today by the bureau outlining the effect of each of the amendments. The explanations of each of the amendments follow. 1. The purpose of this amendment is two-fold. First. It makes the state contsltution conform with the federal constitution on woman suffrage ana to this extent the change is merely formal, as the federal constitution is controlling on this subject. Second, it discontinues ttlve right of foreigners with their first papers to vote and. if Passed, only full fledged American citizens can vote. 2. The purpose of this amendment Is to make a permanent registration, thus removing the work and expense of a registration preceding each election, or omitting registrations where they are not needed, leaving action on the subject with the legislature. 3. This amendment provides that the elx-year enumeration of males for apportionment of state senators and representatives heretofore taken shall be discontinued and that the state shall be apportioned hereafter on the lasis of the total number of votes, including thos eof women, cast for secretary cf 6tate as the last precedlng genoral election. This amendment is proposed in the interests of economy as the special enumerations cost $100,000 or more. 4 Ths purpose of this amendment is to make it possible for the governor to veto any single item or any number of items in tho appropriation bills. At present the governor must veto either the entire appropriation till or approve the bill entirely. 6, The purpose of this amendment is to make the state officers named four-year terms instead of two-year terras. 6. The purpose of this amendment Is to make the county offices named four year terms Instead of two-year terms. It makes the office of county surveyor statutory and will thus enable the legislature to prescribe qualifications for county surveyors. 7. The purpose of this amendment is to make the office of prosecuting attorney a four-year office instead of a two-year office. 8. This amendment Is to give the legislature authority to fix educational and professional requirements for the praotlce cf law. 9. This amendment makes the office of state superintendent of public instruction appointive instead of elective. 10. This i9 generally considered the most important of th? proposed amendments. In effect, it provides that the general assembly shall have p-fwer to classify property for taxation purposes with the ostensible purpose of providing a smaller rate of taxation for Intangibles with the exectancy of inducing Intangibles to be listed on the assessments, thus bringing out Intangibles and thereby providing additional funds for tax purposes in the attempt to relieve real estate ad other kinds of tangible property from what is believed to be a larger portion of taxation than they propeTly should bear. It leaves tho entire subject of taxation, including exemptions, to the legislature. 11. This amendment will authorize the legislature to establish an income tax. 12. The purpose of this amendment Is to permit colored men to sc-rve Jn the state militia .which Is impossible under the present constitution. 13. The purpose of this aendment Is to prohibit the legislature from increasing the salaries or extending the term of public officials during tlxterm for which they were elected cr appointed .

Most people are willing to put up a strong front to get ell that they are justly entitled to, but there are times when the last straw breaks the camels back. The City Council In forcing a fight with the Telephone Company over rates for service affecting West Hammond, are beating a hornet's nest. Even If the City Council whips the Telephone Company, Hammond will lose a good many thousand dollars a year, as rates for servico la Hammond will not be changed, but Instead every telephone subscriber will pay a five cent toll call every time he rings up West Hammond. Xow-a-days it costs nothing, eo that to fight the Telephone Company to force the people of Ham mond to pay a five cent toll call to West Hammond seems like philanthropy to the Telephone Company. But the people of Hammond should not be called upon to foot the bill tor a class of telephone service which the Company now give us for nothing, becauscthere 13 a spirit of generosity floating around by come people who are willing to pay for it. A five cent toll call to West Ham mond is a crime. Nobody wants it. Why fight to get the privilege of paying it and shovel into the coHSf this corporation a small fortune every year which could be better spent in Hammond and we reed in our community?

MOTTO

OF COUNTY OFFICIALS Plans Made to Reduce Taxes to Former Levels SPECIAL TO THE TIMES CROWN POINT. Ind.. June 17. Taxes must come down. County officials, including the members of the county council and county board of commissioners have determined upon a regime of strict economy to reduce the cost of government to conform with the lowered cost of living and lower wages. Although county taxes were only a cent higher this year, every effort will be made to return the expenses of the .county government to hn pre-war level. The county purse strings are pulled tight. Expenditures are to be made with the greatest care and conservation. City and township taxes are all out of proportion, it is said, and the county is blamed by many taxpayers for the extravagances or city councils ana the high cost, of maintaining schools. the Charles Watklns of Muncie, Indiana, thrilled a large audience with one of the best talks heard In Hammond for a long time when he spoke at the graduation exercises of the Hammond high school at the First Baptist church last evening. Mr. Watklns discussed the problem which the graduates would have to face when they start in life, and the tnir.gs which should be avoided. He drew a splendid word Dictura of tVi trials and temptations of the youth in his initial venture into the world, and his advice, based on experiences with in his own knbwledge were presented with such force and logic tjiat the graduates were receptive rather than antagonistic to his views. There were twenty-nine honor stu dents, with averages of from 96.87 to 90.3 for the four years work. The gold and silver scholarship medals, so much coveted by the students, were presented by LeGrand T. Meyer to Miss Hilda Holmes and Miss Grace E. Toung respectively. The other honor students in order of their, grades were Ruth Young. Irene Petrie, Charles Tweedle. Marlon Eckman. Gertrude Heyt, iladelyn Conroy. Lillian Wagenblast. Ruth Martin, Mildred Crawley, Mary Ramsey. Eleanor Spooner, Eugenia Dinwiddle, Gertrude Ruff. Miami Hess. Benjamin Summers. Edwin Ball. Ethel Norman, Elinor Shanklin, Ibbie Vanbodegraven, Russell Van Gilder, Mildred Hoffman, Clarence Marchant. Dorothy Graves. Fronie Fillinger. Daniel Getzlnger and Louis Waxman. The class is composed of 81 students, and the averages of so many being above 90 Indicates that they are of especially high caliber. ARRAIGNED ON SERIOUS CHARGE Emery Purdy, 299 Hohman street. Hammond, was bound over to the criminal court under a bond of $1,000 in the Hammond city court this morning.

VATKINS SPEAKS TO GRADUATES

ONIONS BY CAR LOAD ARE WASTED

Employers Of Railroad Company Get Orders To Unload At Clarke Station Dump. Who Is responsible for the order given to employes of the Pennsylvania Railroad company at Clark Station. Just west of the city limits of Gary to destroy three large gondola car loads of valuable onions. This la the question that Is being asked by Gary and county officials today and has resulted In an Investigation that has been conducted by officials for several days. The Information that three car loads of onions were to be dumped from the cars at the Clark Station dump, came to the officials attention early this week when railroad detectives caused the arrest cf three persons for taking some of the onions which several more days will be rotting beside the tracks. Th case which waa set in the Gary city court for this morning was post poned. probably pending the probe. According to Information received from employes at Clark Station yesterday, the three cars of onions have been there for nearly a week and an order has now been received, to unload them at the dump. Yesterday Prosecuting Attorney Dwight M. Kinder made a trip to Clark station to learn the truth and was told by employes of the Pennsylvania that the onions were to be dumped . Eut why? With onions a scarcity at this time of the year and being sold at the markets at outrageous prices. Yesterday Bermuda onions were quoted on the market at a price ranging from $1.53 to $2.00 a crate. At the stores by the pound they bring even more fancy prices. According to one railroad employe, it is unusual to ship perishable good in open cars and onions are listed among perishable articles. The onions were sacked and although many of them has started to sprout and rotted from the exposure to the rain and sun probably more than fifty per cent of the onions are still edible. The Times In the past has exposed many cases where potatoes have ben dumped at sidings by a different rail road companies and permitted to rot. when thousands of half starved ldl workmen would have been glad to get them for their families. For no other reason probably like the dumping of the three cars of onions this was done to keep up the scarcity and high market prices. According to one Gary man today. if the three cars had been shipped to Gary and placed on a siding the onions would have been disposed of in no time to the families of the thousands of Idle yorkmen, many of them who have hardly anything to put on tneir tables. Physicians state that there is also a great deal of nourishment In onions. Th Times recently made the sen sational exposure, that thousands of gallons of "skimmed milk" was being poured Into the sewers of Gary and other cities of the county. As a result the skimmed milk Is now being given away and is helping feed the idle army . ALL HANGS By LAIS Judge Landis was the man uppermost in the minds of most people in the Calumet region today for upon his ruling in the building trades wage dlsJte in Chicago depends the resumption of construction work in Lake cour.ty. The situation remained practically unchanged today . The Building Trades Employers Association immediately after the meeting Wednesday night at the Hammond Chamber of Commerce communicated to the organizations of craftsmen their willingness to accept the wage scale as fixed by the arbiter, but have received no answer from the unions as to whether that will be satisfactory with them. Judge Landis was side-tracked with court matters yesterday and could not give his attention to the data which had been submitted to him. He Intimated tht he might make hiS announcement today, but it was considered doubtful. Contractors were out today looking over jobs which have been idle since May 15 and seemed optimistic. Material has Buffered from lying exposed to the weather for a month and much damaged, presumably by children, has been reported in half finished houses which were abandoned. The board of directors of the Hammond Chamber of Commerce, following out the suggestion of the Hammond Clearing House Association will meet tonli?ht to dlseuss the wagv controversy in the light of facts brought out at the meeting Wednesday evening and will later formulate a report embodying their suggestions as to the best way to bring about a resumption of bulldlnr

Little 12 was found year old George Kovaea drowned yesterday after noon In the lagoon at the North end park. East Chicago, by some by friends who were in swimming. Relief was called and the pulmotor used for artificial breathing, but the party was unable to revive any signs of life. The boys who found the body, claim that while undressing for a swim they saw something floating whicu hey thought to be a rag, but which proved Resorters Shocked At Bath Garb Censorship at Waverly Beach Advocated by Dowagers What constitutes a fair standard of modesty la a young womans bathing costume? The dowagers who watch the passing show from the screened porches of the cottages at Waverjy Beach are debattng the question of . censorsnip. It Is proposed to establish rules and regulations covering girls bathing suits and to patrol the beach at night. The costumes are scantier this year than ever before, the dowagers declare. The one-piece bathing suit with Vshaped back is much in evidence. Coeds from Chicago schools have been making week-end 60-Journs In the dunes at it is said they don their athletic bathing euits Friday evening and wear them until Monday morning. These bachelor girls have rented cot-, tages. "My goodness," one of the co-eds exclaimed when told of the proposed cen sorship. "Is It possible that they expect a girl to wear a skirted bathing suit and stockings In this day and age? We come to the dunes to be away from the crowded beaches and the fashionable resorts. We are living by ourselves nearly a mile away from the regular bathing place and I can't for the life of me understand how any one can be so narrow minded as to criticize us for wearing one-piece suits. It Is so difficult to swim in any other kind. All this talk is prompted by Jealousy." The self-appointed censors are said to have served notice on the bathhouse proprietors & Waverly beach that all suits must have a skirt attached extending at least a third of the way to the knees and tha they , must not be cut so low under the arms. Spooning on the beach at night Is also objectionable. On hot nights. It Is claimed, the spooners are In evidence until long after midnight, sometimes as late as 2 o'clock In the morning.

The parents of the victim, living at 512 142nd street. East Chicago, were notified about 3 o'clock of the accident, but by that time the remains had been removed to the Huber Undertaking parlor. Ml OF Sitting upright on a bench In Lake Front park, the body of William Knoth of Chicago was found late last night. No one knows how he happened to be at that spot at so late an hour, as his home is in Chicago. The supposition Is that he sought relief from the intense heat In the cool lake breezes, but that does not explain his presence in Hammond. He has several children living in this city, but they were not expecting a visit from him. Mr. Knoth died of heart failure, probably brought on by the heat. He was about 68 years of age. He has three sons, William, 1241 Harrison st., Hammond. Oscar, who lives over the Schloer's shoe store In Hammond and Charles, Chicago. A daughter, Mrs. Richard Rcnny, lives in East Chicago. He was living with his sister. Mrs. Wllemy, of Chicago. G. P. Richards of Hammond rwi B. F. Mills and E. F. Castetter of Chicago were walking through the park when they notTCed Knoth sitting on the bench. There was something strange about the appearance of the man. and they investigated.

Many Senators Experience Difficulties At The White House Lately. By GEORGE R- HOLMES STAFF CORRESPONDENT I. N. SERVICE! WASHINGTON, June 17. Having been In the White House but little more than three months and the great bulk of patronage, distribution yet untouched. President Harding's administration already ha come into open conflict with six republican members of the United States senate ovr the award of Jobs to the faithful and it has encountered less open opposition from a number of others. "The senatorial courtesy and con sideratlon," which was expected to clear the patronage roads of many thorns for President Harding, because of his having been a sitting member of the senate when elected to tho presidency, has failed to work as smoothly as had been anticipated. If the first three months, durtr.g which only the surface has been taken off the patronage dish, can be taken n.i a criterion, it became apparent today that more serious difficulties are ahead of the president in the filling of thousands of places at his disposal. Postmastershlps have not yet been approached and there is keen competition for the Jobs already apparent. The placing of a majority of the postmasterships under civil service made the president's task a great deal easier, but there is still enough political flavor to the Jobs to cause much fighting. Senators Spencer of Missouri. Johnson of California, Willis of Ohio, who occupies? PJisident Harding's old seat;

Frelinghursen of New Jersey, Penrose of Pennsylvania, and Lodge of Massachusetts, are among those who have experienced patronage difficulties at the White House. Spencer, Johnson and Willis openly and publicly fought against the confirmation by the aenata of some of the president's selections. Most of the difficulty can be traced back to state organization fights. .Senator Spencer was the first republican senator to break into open fighting as a result of appointments. He held up and almost succeeded In defeating the confirmation of Charles C. Madison to be district attorney la the Kansas City district. SpencJsr was followed by Senator Johnson in his opposition to David H. Blair, the new commissioner of internal revenue. Blair was confirmed pilyi 'after a hard fight had bean waged against him behind closed doors In committee. Now Senator Willis Is on the warpath against the appointment of Cha.. Naut to be internal revenue commissioner in the Toledo district. He said today he would oppose Naut's confirmation to the last ditch. Senator Lodge is understood to be -trongly opposed to the appointment of Julius Klein as director of the bureau of foreign and domestic commerce. Klein's confirmation has been held up at any rate. AFTER GARAGE Frances Kennedy Johnson, who had to come into court s-everal weeks ai'i ( to have proprietors of two squatter sort drink tooths ejected by injunction from her property on Lake avenue, near Miller Beach in Gary, has nowstarted a right against th ow ner rf a garage which sha says is also located on her land. The defendant In the suit which was filed today by Attorneys Crumpackor & Crumpacker in the Hammond superior court is William J. Fulton. Mrs. Kennedy says that the garage stands in the way of completing the concrete automobile parking place which she Is constructing. She asks that Fulton be ordered to move and that he he enjoined from coming on the property again. Hammonds lake front bathing beach has all the ear marks of a popular place this summer. Judging from the crowds it has drawn so far this year. Last Sunday a huge gathering of sweltering people obtained relief from the burning sun by a dip in the lake, and the com ing Sunday, having every indication of being a lot hotter, should draw a cor respondingly larger crowd. Manager Tredebas of the beach is en thusiastic over the prospects for this years swimming season. The bath house is open now, and th diving rafts and other equipment for the enjevmen of the jport will bo set out as soon as the crowds start to come In earnest. The pier will probably be out by Sunday. The bath house is amply equiped to take care of a record crowd. A plentiful supply of suits to be rented, towels and other things are at hand, and additional articles will be obtained as needed . A prest many people sre hclding back froin their Initial swim of the season for fear that the bath house is not open yet. The fact Is that the beach is going at full swing, and a large number of bathers have been In the water there every day this week.
