i e : -xfi-j& DECLARES TARIFF ADJUSTMENT WILL REJUVENATE TRADE SO EUROPE CAN PAY U. S.

End .of. Deficits, Plea—Reiterates Goyernment’s Responsibility i for Human Weliare,

Franklin D. Roosevelt launched his drive for the presidency Saturday with a contention that the main issue of the campaign is economic Telief and a declaration that he will call on the next congress, if he is elected, to legalize the sale of beer. The democratic nominee miaking his first speech since the acceptance address at Chicago on July 2 said: It is not enough to say that when prosperity is restored we shall then consider how to avoiq repeating all the old errors. Today We recognize these errors. Today they should be outlawed for all time to come. i The foreign debt situation, M. Roosevelt declared, “has been brought measureably near a solution by the recent results at Lausanne.’® Great Britain, France and Germany have at last agreed among themselves concerning reparations. The danger now is that they may turn a united front against us. This comes, 1 am convinced, not SO much from the debts they owe us as from. our barriers against their trade-which makes the problem SO difficult. The debts will not be a problém—we shall not have to cancell them—if we are realjstic about providing ways in which payment is possible through the profits arising from the rehabiliation ot trade.. : «“The republican platform said nothing at all about this: but their position has been the absurd one of+ demanding payment' and at the same time making payment impossible. This policy finally forced a moratorjum, as it was bound -to do. Our policy declared for payment but at the same time for lowered tariffs and resumption of trade which open the way for payments.’ o : Mr, Roosevelt made no reference to lining the foreign debt situation with a- reduction of disarmament which has been advocated by President Hoover and Senator Borah, republican chairman of the foreign relations committee. : ; Speaing over the radio and seated at the desk in his gtudy, the democratic nominee quoted freely from the party platform wrich he called *forthright and genuine—honest to the core. “Even the partisan press has found it hard to criticize the democratic platform this year,” he added. Referring to the platform demands for repeal of the 18th amendment and immediate modification of the Volstead act to legalize the sale ofi beer and wines, Roosevelt said : “Nothing needs to be added to that, except that if the present congress takeg no action, I shall urge the new congress to carry out these provisions® | The main theme of ris speech was| based on a platform declaration which reads: “The only hope for improved present conditions, restoring employment, affording permanent relief to the people and bringing the nation back to jts former proud position of domestic happiness ang of financial, industrial, agricultural and commercial leaders ship in the world lies in a drastic change in economic and governmental policies.’ : Sl

REVIEW BOARD CONVENES

’lState Tax Board Request Will In--3 _crease TOwliship Valuations = $321,880

The Noble county board of review ‘convened at Albion Tuesday to con‘sider the 10 per cent increase on imrovements in townships as asked by the state board of tax commissioners. The state board authorized only an adjustment on improvements outside of cities and towns in Noble county, The 10 per cent increase will add $321,880 to the assessed valuation of Noble county improvements according to a statement made by County Assessor George Bouse, This is based on a total assesed valuation of $3,218;805. : ' “1 am well satisfied with the final report of the state tax board” said Mr. Bouse “for we fared much better than other counties in the state.” The county board made adjustments in the assessments of lands and improvements during its recent session and was then convinced the valuations ‘were fair and equitable after the final report. The per cent of reduction on ‘4 ‘lands and improvements in the county a_v.eraged'29 percent, placing the average of $45 er acre in the county. The highest cut 34 per cent was made in Jefferson township with the lowest at 25 per cent, .

' The percentage of reduction in some »f the nearby townships is: Wayne, 28 per cent; Jefferson 34; Orange 26; Allen and Swan 25; Elkhart 28, :

- The state board explained that its purpose in ordering certain changes wag to equalize the assesments in the 32 counties. ,

The county board of review will make such a distribution among the different classes of property and the several taxing units as will produce the most equitable assessment of property. In some instances there wilt probably be no increase while in others where the reduction was the highest there will be a slight inc¢rease. -

Bill Abolishnig Public Service Cotm= mission Advanced to the : Third Reading.,

By an overwhelming vote the house of the Indiana general assembly Mon-~ {day passed a bill lopping between $B,000,000 anq $10,000,000 from the publia pay roll. The measure now goes to the senate, ; . About the same time the senate passed a house bill stopping the build ing rograms of the state’s four educa tional institutions for the next three years, to bring about an annual saving estitmateq at between $BOO,OOO ana $1,000,000 ‘That measure, however, must go back to the house for concurrence in an amendment which lengthened the duration of the moratorium on build~ ing at Indiana and Purdue universities and at the normal schools at Muncle and Terre Heoute to three years. The building vacation voted by the house was for two years. . The salary cutting bill passed by the house withstood a barrage of amendments before being passed, by a vote of 81 to 13. Charges of “railroaaing‘ the bill” were made by some of the representatives, particularly by those from Vigo county. The bill would cut ‘salaries of all public empolyes from 5 to 20 per cent except those at the state schools the penal and benevolent institutions members of the general assembly and all judges now in office. _ Following the session in the senate, the public morals committee of that body discussed the Weiss house bill modifying the state prohibition ‘law without being able to reach an agreement, Sen - Lonzo Shull, Republican Sharpsville chaifman pf the committee said a report will be. submitted to the senate. It appeared certain that a divided report would be submitted. = . The senate “home rule” bill re~ pealing mandatory lévies in all governmental units ang placing the pows er of fixing levies and salaries with local taxing officials had a narrow escape from death in the house. The vote was 34 to 57 on a motion of Rep. Walter E. Stanton Democrat, Gary, who characcterized the measure ag a “gynthetic home rule bill, placing reguatory power in the hands of $lO a year men” to kill the bill, i Another senate bill—that fixing a maximum tax rate of $1.50 on each $lOO of taxables—of which Gov. Harry G. Leslie has voiced his disapproval was scheduleq for consideration in the house, but action on it was delayea. The bill is on second reading.- :

The senate passed another house bill with only seven dissenting votes providing that the valuation ofi public utilities for taxation purposeg shall he the basis for rate-making by the public service commission. - j Other bills passed in the wupper chamber, and which now go to the house provide that in -counties more than 75,000 population, the board o(

county charitieg shall have authority to supervise administration of poor relief and permit a bank receiver to sue stockholders under the double liability act, ;

" A bill abolishing township assessors which proponents said would save hundreds of thousands of dollars; failed to pass the senate receiving only eight votes to 34 against, So did a bill providing that no land shall be sold for delinquent taxes until 1935. The vote on it was 21 for and 23 against. Another senate bill which- would createa commission on economy to report back to the 1933 assembly recommen= dations as to how governmental costs could be further cut, also was beaten 18 to 26. s : A. measure reducing transportation allowance for sheriffs in transferring prisoners to five cents a mile falled to pass for want of two votes the vote was 24 to 23.
