GOODRICH SEES 3 POSSIBLE CHANGES FOR TAX PROBLEM INDIANAPOLIS, July 9 Governor 'Goodrich today was of the opinion that there la only the slightest possibility that the convening of the second special session of the legislature, called for Monday afternoon, may be postponed to await the preparation of a bill to clarify the muddled tax situation in the state. The Governor conferred in the forenoon with Indianapolis city officials, who yesterday held a conference in the city hall with Ele Stansbury, attorney-general of Indiana, and with Philip C. Zoercher, member of the utate board of tax commissioners, in an effort to find a way to rebuild the financial structure. Three Solutions Possible Three possible solutions for the tax situation have been under consideration at the state house. One plan proposed was that the legislature at Its special session enact a law to provide that whenever tax valuations are changed, by order or otherwise, the tax levies based on the valuations shall be changed proportionately, so that the same revenue shall be yielded under the changed valuation. This solution has been presented to the governor, it is known. Thus far it has received the most favor. To Issue Bonds. Another proposal is that the legislature enact a law that would authorize taxing units affected by. the supreme court decision to Issue bonds at present rates of interest, so as to produce money enough to make up for the revenues cut off by the decision, with the expectation that the levies this fall will be made high enough to meet the situation. Third Proposal. The third proposal is that the legislature one way or another legalizes the action of the tax board last fall po as to preserve the status quo of the situation. This proposal ha been rejected by most state officials as Impossible, because such a law would have to be retroactive, which, It is believed, would be unconstitutional. i Short News of City V Recover 6tolen Car Mr. and Mrs. James VV.

Hail Riddles Crops in Several Indiana Counties PLAINFIELD, Ind., July 9 Thousands of dollars in damage was done to farm crops by a hailstorm, which swept a district south of here Thursday afternoon. It is estimated that 200 or more acres of corn were riddled by the hail. SHELBYVILLE, Ind., July 9 Much damage to corn and oats was caused yesterday afternoon by a hailstorm in Van Buren township. However, it covered only a small strip, passing over about a half dozen farms in the community. Hail fell for 15 minutes, some of the hailstones being as large a3 quail eggs. WABASH, Ind., July 9 A hailstorm which visited this region late yesterday afternoon following an exceptionally warm hour, broke many window panes and destroyed ripening fruit. Considerable fruit was torn from' the trees by the hail and ffeM crops, which were beaten, down oy a heavy rainstorm on Tuesday flight, suffered again. America Told Bolsheviki The Trath; Fate's Unknown LONDON, July 9. Royal C. Keely, an American engineer, recently arrested by Bolshevik authorities, as he was about to leave Russia, where he had executed an industrial commission for the Soviet government, incurred the displeasure of the Soviet government because he "told the truth, plain and unvarnished," Nicholas Isnard. chairman of the All-Russian Central Council of Trade and Industry, said upon his arrival here. Isnard fled from Russia where, he said, "the misery and dislocation of life is complete." The fate of the American has not been learned. According to Isnard, Keely went to Russia in September, 1919, at the Invitation of the Bolshevik government and as an expert on technical and industrial organization, was asked to make a complete report to the Soviet government "on ways and means to save the Russian industrial situation." "Cm his arrival in Russia, Keely was received with great honors, and exceptional facilities were afforded him to travel all over the country," Isnard said. "He visited the industrial concerns of Petrograd and Moscow, travelled to the great textile center of Ivanovo-Vosnesensk, and to the coal mines of the Donetz, and completed his trip by a tour in the Urals. "Upon his return to Moscow in January. 1920, Keely was lodged in the commissariat of foreign affairs, in the famous palace Whither other distin guished visitors later found a sump tuous welcome, and the Kremlin intimated Its great desire for his report. Here the American committed his first great mistake. In his report, he told the Soviets the truth, plain and unvarnished. The gist of his report can be resumed as follows. "The industrial concerns of Petrograd and Moscow are ruined completely, and will need years to get them in to some sort of working order. Tho machines and tools are in disorderly condition, rapidly deteriorating, and many vital parts are lacking. All skill ed labor seems to have disappeared completely. The Donetz coal mines are in a very bad position also, and will need two or three years to put them straight. The works in the Urals are in a better condition, and could be tuned up quickly. But nothing useful can be achieved until all decrees against property and personal security are annulled.' " WOULD PREVENT REMARRIAGE BY FEDERAL AMENDMENT (By Associated Press) s NEW YORK, July 9. Inauguration of a campaign for federal constitutional amendment prohibiting remarriage of divorcees, was announced today by the Rev. Dr. Walter Gwynne, general secretary of the society for the upholding of the sanctity of marriage. Vigorous propaganda will be carried on, said Dr. Gwynne, to extend the membership of the organization to every Christian denomination in the county ,and ministers of every creed will be urged to refuse to perform the marriage ceremony for any person that has been divorced. U. S. TO BE REPRESENTED WASHINGTON. July 9. The United States will be represented unofficially at the Brussels financial congress under the League of Nations, Secretary Houston announced.

"County advisory boards will be linked together by a state -advisory board. Activities will be centralized and efforts unified through this system.
