these out as rapidly as possible. About
5000 day are being sent out. 1t is
estimated that there are about 10000
to $4,000 automobiles and motorcycles
in Indiana that must be registered and
tags issued.
Under the law the secretary of state
collects all of this money and issues
all licenses and tags The law says
that all money received therefrom
shall be deposited with the state trea-
surer and apportioned as stated above,
after all expenses for number tags,
registration and all assistants neces-
sary to do the work have been paid.
A large force of new clerks have been
placed in the secretary's office to do
this work. and they are under the di-
rection of Deputy Secretary of State
Confer, who is drawing two salaries
for the work he does in the office. His
regular salary as deputy secretary of
state is $4,000 a year Secretary of
State Ellingham wanted to put him in
charge of the automobile bureau also,
anud pay him extra for It, and he OBJ
tanned an opinion from the attorney
general and also from the public ac-
counting department that this would
be legal.
Ellingham therefore added the auto
mobile work to Conter's othe rduties
and is now paying him $1,000 a year
for doing this extra work. This gives
Confer $4,000 year. He draws the
two salaries on separate warrants
The fact that Confer is drawing
two selaries-in other words. that he
is holding down two jobs-has caused
some comment. 1t is pointed out that
there are thousand of good, hard work
ing, capable democrats in the state
who would be glad to have either OF
the jobs at the salary of either place
and some of them have been grumb-
ling because one man holds two jobs
while they have none at all Elling
ham answers thas complaint by saying
that he wanted a man to handle the
large amount of automobile tax money
whom he could trust and in whom he
had full confidence. That was why he
chose Confer. And at the same time
he wanted to retain Confer as his
deputy.
When the salary grabs were before
the legislature last winter an effort
was made to increase Conters salary
from s2.4Oo to $4,000, but 1t failed.
But thanks to the new automobile
law. he is getting more now than he
asked for then.

ANOTHER
GARY GIRL

The recent series of attacks on little
girls in Gary had another one added
to its grim list when a stranger lured
the thirteen-year old daughter of one
of the best known Gary families into

TIMES BUREAU
AT STATE CAPITAL.


Indianapolis. Ind. Aug. 14-Up to
deposited in the state treasury by the
secretary OF state s111,0o0 of automo-
bse license and tag fees. 1t is ex-
pected at the office Of the secretary Of
state that the collections will amount
to something like s135,000 before the
end of the year. This, however, does
not represent the amount of money
that will be collected from this source
next year or thereafter. because the
new automobile license law only went
into effect on July l this year, and the
fees collected this year are for only
the remaining portion of the year to
December 81. This means that taxes
paid dated July 1 this year were only
half of the annual amount which will
be collected next year. and when
license fs issued for only the remain
ing three months of the year II will
cost only one-fourth of the yearly
amount fixed by law.
1t is estimated that the annual in
come from automobile taxes will
| amount to not less than s350,000 to
100000. All Of this money, under the
law, goes to the various counties of
the state. the state acting merely as
the custodian of he funds. The law
| says that all of this money must be
spent on the roads and that 1t can
not be used for any other purpose. It
| Is divided into three parts and then
| distributed by the state in the fol-
| lowing manner:
| One part Is divided equally among
ninety-two counties.
One part is divided between the
counties in proportion to the amount
| ofSfree gravel road in each county.
| One part is divided among the coun-
ties in proportion to the amount that
IS received from each county in auto
mobile taxes.
