RECEIVER APPOINTED FOR MIDWEST AUTO SERVICE COMPANY

Petition for the immediate appointment of a receiver for the Midwest Auto Service company was filed by the Pythian Temple association in Wayne circuit court late Saturday afternoon. Charles W. Jordan was appointed receiver. The petition alleges that the concern is indebted between $5,000 and $10,000 and unable to meet these obligations. The assets are estimated at $2,000. The Studebaker automobile agency, which has its salesroom in the same building, is not involved in the proceedings, as it has no connection with the Midwest company. Action Seeks Rent. Action was brought by the Pythian Temple association to recover $400 said to be due for rent. The complaint states that the company has no money or property and is in debt to many persons, the exact amount being unknown to the petitioners. It is further stated that the assets are in danger of being dissipated and converted to the use of interested persons. The receiver is empowered to sequester the property. Attorney Frank Strayer appeared for the Pythian association.

'Wide Open Tax Amendment Republican Organization Backs Away from the Changes,

Says Robert G. Tucker Real Estate Men Oppose Giving Power to Legislators

Robert G. Tucker, writing from Indianapolis, had the following to say about the amendments to the Indiana state constitution in the Cincinnati Enquirer, Sunday: Dog days in Indiana will be enlivened by a spirited campaign against proposed amendments to the state constitution. Powerful forces are gathering to oppose them, and the prospect is that meetings will be conducted in every section and as much light as possible thrown on the program, which had the backing of the Republican organization in the last two sessions of the legislature. It is conceded now that the Republican organization has backed away from the amendments. Its attitude is Vieved to be due to the firm stand of leading business men who insist that the adoption of the "wide open" tax amendment would place general property at the mercy of dnagogues, who could stir up endless trouble at every session of the legislature. When the resolutions for the "wide cpen" policy was adopted the general understanding was that it provided for the classification of property for taxation. Many leading men have been asserting that he burden on tangibles would not be lowered until the legisla ture were permitted to classify properasserting that the burden on tangibles so low that they would be listed. Fear Resolution. It appears, however, that many who favor classification are afraid that the "wide open" resolution goes too far, in that it would enable the legislature to enact laws from which there would be no appeal to the courts. The situation is developing a peculiar side. Thousands of property owners are like the boy who thought he should have his cake and eat it at the some time. An illustration of this point was made by Earle Bullock, secretary of the Indiana Real Estate association who said there was a strong move Don't Prod Your Liver to Action MR Ovreom Biliousness, Constipation, Sick Haadzcho, Quickly. No Griping or Pain. Guaranteed. The organs of digestion, assimilation and elimination the stomach, liver and bowels are closely allied, and the proper action of any of these organs is largely dependent upon the correct functioning of all the others.

Reports indicate that the proposal favoring the classification of property under an amendment to the constitution is suffering a reverse on account of fear that the pending amendment goes too far. The Real Estate asociation has sent letters to the city real estate boards, asking them to study conditions and to arouse property owners. The state body hopes to obtain a consensus of. opinion from its city organizations before the end of July. is o definite position will be taken! until then. One real estate organization at Kokomo has declared against the "wide open" resolution. It would not be surprising if the real estate men in general, who have been demanding laws for the relief from the tax on general property, should takfc" a stand against the amendment.

that Indiana is a conservative and i even a reactionary state. It has resisted attempts of the reformers to attach the initiative, the referendum, the recall and other new doctrines to the constitution. Such eminent heralds of the reform as William J. Bryan have spoken before the Indiana general assembly at various times in favor of so-called progressive legislation, but they never have made an appreciable impression. The. present constitution was adopt ed in 1851. At that time there were but three cities with more than 7,000 population. New Albany was largest, with 7,785; Madison second, with 7.714. and Indianapolis third, with 7.686. More than two thirds of the population was rural, yet the constitution made under such conditions has withstood all attacks. Adopt Two Amendments. But two amendments have been adopted, one in 1S75 and the other in 1881. The sole important amendment permitted cities to contract an indebtedness equal to 2 per cent of the taxed valuation. There have been 154 attempts to amend the constitution., All told, 422 separate proposals were included in the various resolutions. The sole amendments adopted were submitted at special elections. Opponents of the 13 proposals pending were afraid until recently that all would be adopted, owing to the fact that a special election is to be conducted September 6. Their fear, it is said, is turning to confidence that all will be defeated. The opinion grows that he hide will go with the hair." All of the amendments are expected to fail, and it is believed that all are likely to win if one succeeds. Reports indi cate that many property owners favor the income tax amendment, but the movement against the "wide-open" proposition Is becoming so strong that all seem to be doomed to defeat. James P.
