COX EXPECTS
G. o. BREAK
OVER LEAGUE

DAYTON. Ohio. Oct 5.-Gov. James
NJ. Cox indicated today he expects q
break In che Republican ranks over the
League OF Nations issue as result Of
senator Borah's announced opposition to
the United States entering any kind Of
association OF nations.
II have foud that when you try to
stretch blanket TO cover too much
ground It is apt to split in the middle"
he said.
Neither the Republican platform nor
the candidate can bring all the party
groups under one blanket"
Confident as he 10 that there is strong
trend toward the league throughout the
country, the Democratic candidate does
not believe Senator Harding can afford
to take the same stand Borah announced
IN his speech at Danbury, COnn., last
night.
To do so would Immediately antagen-
lie Republican leaders such as ex-Presi-
dent Taft, Elihu Root, Charles f. Hughes
and George w. Wickersham, who favor
the league or some international assoeia-
tion, Cox said.
In all his speeches attacking the league,
II was pointed out, Harding declared for
some sort of an international association.
On the other hand, the evident belief
IN the Democratic camp was Borah can
not be placated unless Harding approves
his position and the Democratic hope
was senator Joseph, Senator Brandegee
aud other treaty irreconciliables would
stand by the Idaho senator.

STATE TAX
STILL 2 CENTS
OVER LAST YEAR
Reduction of 2 Cents From
Former Order Made by
Commission.
CUT IN GENERAL FUND

"A 2-cent reduction in the State tax rate
was ordered today by the State Board Of
Tax Commissioners.
The reduction brings the tax rate for
next year from % cents, as previously
ordered by the board, down to 20 cents
on each S100 of assessed valuation.
This is an increase of 2 cents over the
rate of last year
The reduction from the previous order
was made in the general fund.
The 4-cent Increase recently ordered ap-
piled to various other funds is not al
tered By the new ruling.
In an explanatory statement issued in
connection with the reduction the board
says that the administration Of State af-
fairs proper is costing the State nothing
and is providing a surplus Of fees" under
the present administration.
Tt states further that the revenue de2
rived from taxation is now spent wholly
for benevolent institutions, schools and
highways.
It does not point out, however, the
enormous increase in expenditures for
these latter purposes II the circumstances
cited, are correct.
The statement follows:
'9The State Board Of Tax Commissioners
today took up the reconsideration of the
State tax rate.
Owing to payments made into the
State treasury from some OF the State
Institutions Just prior to the end Of the
fiscal year, Sept. 80, and of which there
was no previous knowledge, the condi-
ton OF the State finances was very sub
stantially affected thereby.
Upon representation to the Governor
oy the auditor Of State Of the foregoing
facts and the confirmation OF the same
having been had, the attention of the
State Board Of Tax Commissioners was
directed thereto.
After going over the figures care
fully it was thought that the total State
rate could be reduced cents. making
the same 20 cents instead Of % cents,
as heretofore announced.
"a careful analysis Of the figures sub
mitted by the Auditor Of State disclosed
the fact that the administration of State
affairs proper was costing the taxpay-
ers Of Indiana nothing-in fact provid-
ing surplus Of fees and other revenue
over snd above expenses.
"The expenditure for State govern
ment under the present administration

loaded for Six to
Thirteen Days.

total Of sixteen car loads Of perish
able foodstuf has been deterioratng In
, Indianapolis railroad yards for periods
ranging from six TO thirteen days. ac-
cording TO reports made to Stanley
Wyckof, Federal fair price Commissioners,
by the railroads today
Mr.. WyekoR refused to make public
the names of the commission merchants
who have permitted their goods to stand
on the tracks during this period because
be said he believed that according to law,
ne must not reveal the names unless d.
rect charges are brought
The reports of the number of cars
standing on tracks for periods of more
than Eve days will, be daily feature OF
the investigation OF food conditions in
indianapolis by the Department OF Jus
tice.
According to the report four cars Of
perlshables have been on the tracks SIX
days. four cars seven days, FIVE cars nine
days, one car ten days, one car eleven
days and one car thirteen days.
The commission men complain that the
railroads bunch their shipments in such
a way that 1t is impossible to unload
them within a reasonable time.
An embargo against commission
houses which fail to unload perishable
1ooC sroducts from cars in railroad yards
is Planned by railroad companies.
It was announced that the COM
panies win seek to compel dealers in
food products to unload cars in the order
Of their arrival and that they will re-
fuse to deliver cars to concerns which
permit food to stand on the tracks more
than five days.
This action is being taken by the rail-
roads as a result of the revelation Of
the fact that perishable food products
are deteriorating In the railroad yards
at the ate of 5000 worth a day
Action in the matter resulted from a
letter written by Stanley Wyckoff fair
price commissioner to Fred Van Nuys,
United States district attorney, calling at
,ntion to the situation.
The letter was turned over to the De-
partment Of Justice, which Immediately
will begin an Investigation.
''If Athese reports are true and the
commission men and jobbers are holding
up shipments to affect prices and mar
bet conditions we viii prosecute" Mr..
Van Nuys said.

MAY ANNOUNCE
PRICES FOR COAL
Order for Operators Awaits
Official Signature of
Governor.

Indications that the State coal com
mission would announce a price for
dealers, operators and jobbers by night
was given by Jesse Escbbach, chairman
of that body. at the adjournment of the
session held this morning in the Office OF
Governor Goodrich.
An order for operators is understood
to be holding up the action Of the COM
mission due TO details which developed
In the morning meeting.
The order has not been signed by
Governor Goodrich and State Auditor
Klauss nor by any other members of
the commission, and probably will not
be signed until this evening in ses-
sion which will convene at 8, o'clock.
Chairman Eschbach stated that there
would be a conference this afternoon re-
garding the details which developed this
morning, and that they would also spend
the afternoon in presenting the Governor
and Auditor Of State with mass of
figures necessary to clear the situation
now existing in relation to certain other
unnamed orders.
It is generally believed by those in
close touch with the commission that
the price Of coal will be much lower.
Statements OF dealers and retailers that
they can not handle coal on profitable
basis except at certain prepared price
without donating the public a large
amount of money in their transactions
in coal have gained headway and vol
ume throughout the State House. but
the statements may be taken with a
grain Of salt" as each has expanded In
its recital by those interested.
Further conferences after that Of this
evening mny be necessary to determine
the price of coal by the commission, as
IL statement has been made that Governor
Goodrich and Auditor of State Klauss
are not entirely ccnversant with the coal
situation from a statistical standpoint.
which is necessary before the commits
sion can sign and issue the orders.
