Still endorses boycott Student Senate supports town committee idea

Susie Grimes

Mayor endorses Senator candidate Mayor Norman Peabody of Greencastle today announced his support of a revenue sharing proposal made by William D. Ruckelshaus, Republican candidate for United States Senator. The Ruckelshaus proposal was received enthusiastically by municipal officials when it was first made in a speech before the Convention of the Indiana Association of Cities and Towns [September 18. In announcing his support for the program, Mayor Peabody said: “It is my firm conviction that we must work actively to return more responsibility and power to lopal communities throughout Indiana and the nation. A program such as the one proposed by Bill Ruckelshaus, which returns Federally-collected tax money to state and local governments without Federal restrictions, is the sort of program which could do much to foster local solutions to local problems. “Under the program Bill has proposed, our city could be eligible for a grant of about $59, 000., which would help us to pay for such projects as to purchase land for future needs, to help with parking problems, and to help with the necessary expenditures of the increasing salaries, etc. to help cut our local taxes. “I strongly feel that the Congress should consider enacting legislation to provide for a revenue sharing program such as Bill’s in the next session.” Mayor Peabody was one of a large group of mayors from throughout Indiana who indicated his support of the proposal. The proposed Ruckelshaus plan would return five percent of Fed. erally-collected personal income taxes, or about $3.1 billion at present levels, to local communities and states on a no-strings basis. Under the program, if enacted, Indiana could qualify for about $70 million, half of which would be allotted to local govern, ments on a population basis.

The grievances center around a recently passed city ordinance and a county election board ruling on student voting In the county.

of good faith on the part of the students. Senate, however, rejected Flshburn’s proposal and allowed the boycott action to remain on a “standby” basis in case negotiations break down. Fishburn explained to students that the committee will seek merchant help in their fight to vote In Putnam County. He also said they will work for reconsideration of and perhaps alter its application to students. According to Fishburn the students will try to get the city to change clauses in the ordinance.
