HI NAW AV STTDKNT WROTK I’KINCII’AL OF “SWELL TIMK” BOSTON. 1UP1—Jamos Rogera, 15 year old high school senior, ran away from home and school but didn't want to cause any commotion. Rogers wrote to Principal James E. Downey of the school the following letter: ‘Please cancel my attendance at the school as I am not returning. Am having a swell time and have acquired a real southern accent.”

•IKON HOUSE' <;OT REVENGE CHEYENNE. Wyo. (UP) The “iron horse" had its revenge here recently when the Union Pacific Railroad's new ''Zip" train stalled 50 miles east of here and had to be hauled in for repairs. It was one of the puffing old type locomotives that steamed proudly into the yards here with the disabled streamlined flash in tow.

(t'oullBiird Prom l , mfr One) successfully is the best possible proof of the administrative ability of governor’s commission has the complete | confidence of the federal authorities and is now operating as the Indiana agency for the federal emergengy re- | lief administration. “On January P, 1033, when the [ present administration assumed con- | trol the balance In all funds was $13,- . 591.694.05. We have administered all functions of state government, paid our bills, borrowed no money, sent back to counties, cities, towns and schools *26,963.204 34 and had a balance at the end of the fiscal year, $17,685,254.78. “All of this has been accomplished notwithstanding the fact that recepits from property tax going to the state general fund dropped from $7,762,084.10 In 1932 to $1,797,595.17 in 1933, and the additional fact that there is now duo the state general | fund from counties uncollected tax | amounting to $1,644,262.35 and tax collected, but not received by the state on account of closed banks, in the sum of $329,912.83. “The consolidation of activities was accomplished through the enactment of what was designated as the 'State Executive-Administrative Act.' "The executive administrative act consolidated the 169 units into the following eight administrative divisions: the exectutivc department: the department of state: Uie department

of audit and control; the department of treasury: the department of law: the department of public worWs; the department of I commerce and industries. In addition it gave the governor full authority and responsibility. He has complete power to determine the tenure of jfficc of every officer, employe, or servant of the executive, including the administrative, department of government except constitutional officers and their deputies. He is also authorize* I to assign or reassign, transfer or retransfer any administrative power, duty or function to any one or more of the eight departments. Subject to the maximum limitations by law, he has the authority to fix. modify, or change the compensation of any officer, employe, or servant of the state. “The enemies of this plan hare called it a dictatorship. It is not that, among other things government is a business and must be managed as a business. The people of Indiana have made their governor the general manager of governmental activities. He is a constitutional officer elected by and responsible to the people. Instead of creating a dictatorship, this plan makes possible the application of common sense and practical methods to the important business of gov-

ernment.

provided.

“In the calendar year 1931 the people of Indiana paid in property taxes for all purposes $140,757,389.66. In 1932 they paid $128,968,391 50. During the last two years or Republican rule their payments were $269,720,781 21. In the first year of the present Democratic a<lminlstratlon, 1933, total property tax payments amounted to $88,264,030.63. Making a reasonable allowance for deficiencies In budget levies, we can estimate that property tax collection for 1934 Will not exceed $89.000 000. That give* a property tax bill for the first two years of Democratic administration of $177,264,030.63 compared to $269,, 725.781 21 for the last two years ot Republican administration. There If an actual reduction of $92,461,750.68 in property taxes during the first twe

years of Democratic rule.

“The total collections actually made in 1933 from the new sourcef of revenue, gross income, intangible and excise taxes, mounted to $7,871,164.37. The estimate for total collections from the same sources in 1934 is $17,720,000. The total for

the two years Is $25,091,164.37.
