TURKS AND RUSSIANS AS OBJECTORS
Territory -Grabbers are Incensed at S;eech of United States Observers BY JOHN HADLET STAFF CORRESPONDENT I. N. SERVICE LAUSANNE, Nov. 2S. The hope of establishing a permanent peace In the Near East began to dwindle J today. Serious trouble la expected from both the Turks and Russians as a result of the decision of the allies to reject the Russian demand for full membership in the conference. Christian Rakovsky. president of the Soviet of Unramia, and a member of the Russian p-a.ce delegation. aid there was no use cf Russians remaining here if tney were only to "observers" while other powers nuae decisions that vitally effected Uusslan's Black Sea coast. Wnhe the pertur.ctory conference continues to appoint "Buck Passing" sub committees which are accomplishing: little, the real conference meets In Lord Curzon s apartments where the British envoy, who Is attempting- the cure for his gout, holds long talks witn tne deaf Turkish envoy Ismet Pasha who probably has never heard of Dr. Coue. Lord Curzon. who Is chief of ths British delegation, shouts into the ear of the Turkish envoy while crowds of newspaper correspondents in the lobby outside press as close as they can get to ths keyhole In an effort to overhear. A great many of the delegates and tub delegates gathered here have giv n up hope that the parley will be a complete success, except as a means of patching up a ternporary truce between the rurks ana , Greeics. With the exception of the Turkish straits all the big questions are commercial, dealing with oil, railroads and banks. There Is now a wild scramble for these commercial riehts in all the private meetings. The "territory Grabbers" are in- ; censed at Richard Washburn Child. American observer, whose open door speech upset the plans to bottle up the rich resources of Turkey for a , few favor d interests. Their only l hope now Is for another conference later for the "carving up" of Turkey at which the United States will not be represented. In the meantime It Is a "conference of bedroom covenants noisely arrived at" because cf Ismet's deafness. With the discussion of financial matters, by a commission appointed to handle such questions, the Turks havj formally put forward their demand for $1,000,000,000 Indemnity. The Turks alleged that the chief ground for this claim is damage Incurred through the Greek invasion of Asia Minor. RELEASED FROM JAIL INTERNATIONAL NEWS SERVICE!

Legislation Will be Importuned to Amend the Constitution TIMES BUREAU AT STATE CAPITAL! INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. IS. A proposed amendment to the Indiana constitution enabling the passage of a more equitable tax law than is now possible und.r the terms of the basic law will be submitted to the legislature which convenes in j January. i That the tax amendment, probably one not so broad as the one submitted to a special election Sept. 6, 1921, as well as five other pioposed amendments which were turned down by the voters last year will be again started on their Journey through the assembly members of the legislature have Indi cated In rcauests for information i presented to the bureau of legislative Information. The amendments, considered for presentation to the Assembly are: 1 To enable the assembly to enact a tax law permitting of the classification of property, 2 An Income tax law amendment 3 An amendment to permit of the classification of cities, towns. townships and counties for regis tration. The purpose would be to enable the legislature to require registration in large cities, but dispense with the practice In rural communities. i To make the office of state su perintendent of public Instruction appointive instead of elective. E. An amendment to permit of the establishing of qualifications of persons admitted to the practice of law. All of these subjects were submitted to the people In the special election last year and were rejected. Only on of the thirteen amendments which were submitted at that time passed. This was the amendment requiring a person to be a citizen In order tr vote. In addition to these amendments It Is possible that another one of the unlucky thirteen again will ce presented. This Is the amendment which will enable th governor to veto an Item In an appropriation bill. The league of Women Voters 1s also proposing an amendment to, simplyfy the method of changing the constitution. At present the constitution requires that the change can be made only after two successive legislatures has passed the amendment and then It must be approved by a "majority of said electors" wh"n It Is presented to the people at an election. The proposed amendment would provide that the passage of the amendment Is obtained by th5 favorable vote ;of a "majority voting on the proposition In the past many amendments submitted at elections have failed because so many electors fall to vote on them. The suprems court has held that a amendment to be approved must have the majority of all the voters voting In the election. It was because of this peculiar condition that the thirteen amend-
ments wera presented to a special : T- Hanlon of Hammond and repreelection last year. It has been ; sented in Gary by A. N. White. Its learned by experience that all ' secretary, w ho together with the amendments fall when presented at ! following executive committee are a general election because of the j In charge, viz:
indifference of many voters who ' confine their balloting to candi- j dates. j Representative Pittenger. of Del- I aware county, who Is a candidate for speaker of the house, is lnves- j tlgating the tax situation and may ! sponsor the Introduction of ths tax ' amendment. Because of the Increase In taxa-j tion due primarily to the expendi- ; tures for roads and schools the in- '. equality of present tax system Is j being accentuated. Most of tne I burden of taxation. It Is pointed out, now falls on real estate and other property which can not be hidden. The heavy burden on real tangibles. One of the objects of the proposed change Is to enact a 'classification tax law which would brln5 Intangibles out of bidding. ln lax nmenarr.ent passed by the 1919 and 1321 assemblies and voted "uwn ear was rht by many Interests principally on the crmind tnat is was "too broad " Many large Interests were afraid to place unlimited authority In the hands of the &semb!y In the matt-r of taxa- ! i.

The text of tho ; defeated amendment is as follows: "The general ass-mbly shall pro- i ne by law for a system of taxa tion." This, It was declared, was the equivalent of striking out of the constitution any reference to taxawhatover on the legislature. MRS. PHILT.TPS SENTENCED MS ANGELES, Calif., Nov, 37.

This means that if the damages to Hohman Street property owners aro greater than the teneflts the city can pay the difference. Since the widening of Hohman Street became an issue this year, the one obstacle has been the belief that the entire burden would fall upon the property owners, while the city as a whole, which would receive a lasting benefit, could not be assessed. This attitude was due to lack cf understanding of the law, according to a prominent attorney. "Everybody will admit that the widening of Hohman Street would benefit the city as a whole and nobody sh0,u:3 object to having the city pay a share of the improvement." he declared.
