LAWYERS HEAR HOFFMAN BLOOMINGTON, Ind., July 11 (I’P —Constan* effort of tax paying groups to shift the burden to otl,, i groups constitute the gieutest ob.-t ,, le to solution of Indiana' tax problem, State Senator J. Clyde Hoffman told lawyers of the State at the thirtyfourth annual meeting of th' I diaua State Bai Association today. Hoffman, chairman of the Go’ ernoi' Tax Committee, made tin , ertion in a discussion of the committee’ ef forts to evolve an equitable ta'ing s> stem. “Each taxpayer is too prone to measure the desirability , f a certain form of tax by th, effect it will ha\, cn his bank account, rather than considering the benefit it nay tiling t t e state as a whole from an econom is standpoint,” he said. Although the committe-, authorized b/ the 1!I2!* legislature, ha arrive ! ai no definite recommendations, it has agreed upon “Certain underlying principles,,” There are: 1. To eliminate all pr petty Tax for State purposes. 2. To distribute taxation equally, so as not to penalize any rla of people, business or industry. 3. To prove a means whereby every citizen who has reached his or her majority may contribute directly to the support of the State Government. “The outstanding cause of high taxes has been the ever increasing lend enev to go on and on with public improvements, regarlde: of the source of revenue and the hard hip on the taxpayer.” 1 he elimination or consolidation of townships and po due con-ohdatioit of counties might effect economic: Hoffman said the committei btlic\

The committee is seeking a mean:., he said of halting the escape from taxation of a tremendous amount of

the leg, lature without rewriting the constitution. The committee, he said lias not decided whether it will recoin mend any constitutional revision oi amendment. Report of the committee on legal education, pro ented Thor: day b., Frank N. Rahman, Columbus, chairman, recommended lhat the Supivm. court prescribe qualifications for admission to the bar. Lawyers are in reality officers of .he court and'the p wer admittim them to such offices is a judical and not a legislative function, the repoit theorizes. The committee recommends that th-. 1931 legi lature enact a law giving the supreme court exclusive jurisdiction to admit attornej to practice aw in the late.

PEI I ^ IHIIA ING IN ' ill N IY IS HE IMA ED SOLVED \H 1II ARREST OF RING MARTINSVILLE, July 12.—Three men and a woman are in the Morgan county jail as the re,-.ult of an invesljigahlon conducted in the we t pait of the county Thursday by Sher iff Bert Lucas, Deputy Vriff Garrett Richard and Prosecutor Bray. The person- caught in the r.iuudup aie: William Knapp, Dut h- Knapp, hi wife, Noah Jacobs and Marvin Bai ger. Mr. and Mi-. Knapp were taken | into custody by Sheriff l.u. > Wedncs- , day night wh^n they were; caught ' taking corn from a crib on the Alv:* Dobb: farm. Jacobs and Bat ger wen aire-ted Thursday afternoon, when a] (juantity of stolen good- was Jc und in 1 their re idence- in Jeffei ixn town hip on the Herbemont read. Ai quantity of goods, thought to have 1 been stolen, was also found in ’.he | Knapp home in the same lor ality by | the searching party. Included in the loot foun d by the jfficers was tobacco, smoked meat, candy, 125 pound- of sugar, three boys’ cap , about thirty tire-, four Ford wheels and nuimiou.. other ai tides. There aie also several hundred chickens on the farms and the officers expressed the opinion that they had been stolen from, farmei of the county. The herilf asks that any person who has lost chicken of any breffd get in touch v’ith him. Practically all the chickens are last

year's hens.

A major portion of the mtervhandise found in the house: raided wa identified by J. M. Frye, Brooklyn -torekeeper, who. e store was entered on Friday night of last week. The -ource from which the remainder of the loot was taken i- -till unknown hut the officers will continue their investigation in an effort to learn tin extent of operation cf the accused people. It is believed that their arrest will clear up a great deal of petty thieving that ha occurred in

the county. .

Knapp and Barger are ons-in-law of Mr. Jacobs and the three lived in the same vicinity. Tin loot wa: di covered among the three houses and an effort will be made to link the men in the Frye store robbery. In -uch event it is probable that charges of auto banditry will be placed again-t the trio. Mrs. Knapp will probably be charged with larceny.

Childs Bureau

WASHINGTON, July 12 (UP) - Separation hod divorce among parents may have a direct relationship to delinquency among children. The Children’s Bureau has traced a definite connection between “lack of normal family life” and child delinquency cases, in an analysis of Juvenile Court statistic:- for 1928. Bureau experts found that although 71 per cent of the boys with court record.- were living with both parents at the time their offense was committed, only 52 |»-r cent of the girls had a similar environment. "This would seem to indicate,” Jhese authorities concluded, “that the lack of normal family life is a more significant factor in the delinquency of girls than of boys. “The difficulties which bring girls into court are usually more serious in character and more closely related to home conditions than the difficulties of boys." The bureau found that only 5 per cent of the delinquent children of both sexes were living with their fathers when their offense was committed. About 12 per cent were living with their mothers. Of the remainder, on an average of 68 per cent of these erring children of both sexes were living with both of their parents; 5 per sent were living with a mother and stepfather; 2 per cent with a father and stepmother; and 5 per cent in another family home. The report, \\(liich coyered 1923 records of 62 courts in widely sepai ated states, also traced a relation between nativity of parent- and delinquencies of their children. The largest proportion of delinquent children dealt with by the court , were native born white boys and girls. Less than half of the girls, 45 per cent, had parents one or both of whom were foreign-born. About 50

per cent of the boys had parent , at least one of whom was foreign born. “Accordingly it may be .-aid that the delinquency rate among nativeborn boys of mixed parentage was jiigh,” declares the report. The ratios for colored children were found to be consistently higher than for white children, with the exception of ratios for girls in two Southern courts, at Memphis, Tenn., and Greenville County, S. C. "It is generally accepted that the offenses with which boy.- and girlare charged represent different delinquency problems,” bureau authorities said. “Our data shows that ‘stealing or ttempted stealing’ and ‘acts of care-h--.-ne.-s or mischief’ were the mo-t usual charges in boys’ cases, wherein the closely related charges of ‘running away,’ ‘ungovernable or beond parental control,’ and ‘sex offense’ appeared more often in girls’ ca-es.”

To Ouii At HO

PITTSBURGH, July 12 (UP) — Levi E. Palmer, 80, the oldest man in active service in the United States Po-toffice Department, will retire August 19, after 57 years, during which time he has been located in Indianapolis, St. Louis and Toledo, and Pittsburgh. Palmer has been superintendent of mails at Pittsburgh for 10 years and when he clear.- off his desk for the last time, he will have been in service longer than any man in the history of the Pittsburgh office. 'The veteran postal superintendent -erved a: chief railway mail clerk in the above named cities until he was I transferred to Pittsburgh in 1886 in the -ame capacity. Four year, later I be was promoted to the superintend- | ency. When Palmer first came here only 40 clerks were employed in the dis patching office under him. fToday there are 1,637 postal employees ii Pittsburgh. He has been associated with seven i po. tma-ters here, saw the opening ot the present federal building in Sep (ember 1891, and hopes to live to see the proposed new structure. Civil service which was introduced in the postal department during Palmer’s time has proved beneficial to both the government and pos'al workers and has resulted in more efficient service, he believes.
