Changes Announced In
State Fair Race Rules
fBy Associated Pressl

INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 6.-Secretary
Kennedy, Of the Indiana State Fair
board, has announced several changes
in the rules, as regard the payment
Of prizes to winners Of the horse
races at the State Fair, this season.
which will be held the first week in
September.
Exception is taken to the Associa-
ton rule which provides for fourth
heat in case of three heat winners
at the end of three heats. The locals
conditions state that all races are
limited to three heats"
Also instead OF giving 10 per cent
Of the purse to the winner OF the race
the Indianapolis conditions state that
$50 will be taken from the purse and
given to the driver of the horse win
ming two or more heats. In the ma
iority of races by the three heat plan,
one horse has two heats, so there Is
probability that number or
drivers will win $50.
Another provision is that calling fer
consolation races, in which all horses
that do not finish as high as second
twice in a race, may start. There Is
a purse of $500 for this race, both for
trotters and PAGERS. No entrance fee
will be charged.

REPRESENTATIVE OF
STATE TAX BOARD
MEETS LOCAL men

S. N. Cragun, a member of the state
board Of tax commissioners, and spe'
cial representative Fitch were at the
court house Wednesday, meeting rep
resentatives Of Wayne county corpora
lions to give information concerning
the filing out of corporation reports.
Reports of corporations turned In
were not complete and the tax COM
missioners are here to aid the corpora
lions In Strengthening out the en-
tanglements. Tax assessors here
some time ago informed the corpora
lions that their reports need not be
complete and they went on the as
sumption that these assessors were
correct. AS a result 1t is necessary
to make out new reports.
This may result in a reimbursement OF
the tax assessments in the county.
Special representative Fitch declared
that conditions in Wayne county are
no different than they are in other
counties in Indiana. Moreover. the
fact that representatives of the corpor-
atoms were misled by the tax asses
sors furnishes an excuse.
More than 80 Representatives of
Wayne corporations are at the court
house receiving information.

PUBLIC
IS ANCERED BY
PROF|TEER|NC
Extreme Indignation Reused
by Increasing Prices on
Food and Clothing.
(By Associated Press)


LONDON, Aug. 6.-The food riots
in Italy and agitations elsewhere on
the continent are focusing attention
on the continued increase in prices Of
food and clothing in this country.
Public feeling, judged by protesting
letters to the press and the talk one
hears in restaurants and private
houses. is mounting to the point Of
extreme indignation.
Newspapers are devoting much
space to this subject and warning the
government that unless 1t takes action
to curb profiteering, trouble may be
expected this winter. The govern
ments' recent announcement that its
present modified food control would
be continued throughout the winter at
least, does not appear to have appeas-
ed the public, and the demand is wide
ly made for a return to the strict war
time regulations.
Clothing Prices High.
There is great discomfort among the
small householders. One writes to a
London paper complaining of the high
prices demanded for eggs. milk and
fruit and declaring: Those who buy
and sell seem to have gone mad in
their 'get-rich-quick' craze, and their
impertinence in what they charge the
public is something gross"
The same writer, discussing the eek
tortion on clothing" quotes the an
nouncement made in the house of
commons the other day that the high
prices Of wooden garments was not
due to short supplies or government
charges, and that stocks of wool in
this country are the greatest ever
known.
IF that is So" the writer comments,
why are all wooden goods at famine
prices. and why does a mans suit of
clothes cost anything from eight to
eighteen guineas $40 to 500? Why Is
the profiteer1ng allowed?"
The Ministry Of Munitions officials
who made the announcement regard
ing wool said that the bulk of respon.
sibility for the high prices of wooden
goods lay between the man who makes
the cloth and the dealer. He said the
government was considering action
to stop profiteering.

Government To Blame For
High Prices, Says Mayor

"The government is responsible for
the high prices in everything and
should make amends" said Mayor
w. w. Zimmerman, Wednesday. IF
the government had taken the mate
rails and foodstuffs for the army at
the same prices the consumers we're
paying there would have been no
such condition as now exists.
However. wholesalers were paid
double the price and let the govern
ment have all the materials and food
stuffs. The present situation in the
high cost Of living is the result. The
government should issue an order de-
termining the price of everything"
