WHAT TO DO WHEN
STORAGE BATTERY IS
RUNNING Low

The annoyance of having the stor-
age battery of ones car run down.
putting lights and starter out OF COM
mission and damaging the battery
itself, can be avoided IL the motorist
will give his battery the periodical
attention it demands. II he doesn't
at least he should be able to diagnose
his trouble when It occurs. Yet the
ounce of prevention is better. for
otherwise the life of the battery Is
materially shortened.
'Tf your lights are dim, you may
be pretty sure your battery Is running
down." said Mrs. Lloyd of the Pendle-
ton Prest- -o-Ldte service station yester-
day in answer to a question. Prob
amly the reason Is that you have not
been running the engine enough to
keep the battery charged. Several
other things may happen, The gem
orator may not be charging, or there
may be a wire short-circuited. II the
battery has run down because the car
has been laid Up or scarcely used. then
the remedy Is to run the engine and
charge the battery that way. II run-
ing the engine does not charge the
battery. then the service station man
should look for the trouble"
What ever the defees. Is should be
found and repaired. Delay always re-
suits In damage to the battery and
consequent expensive repair bills.
Every notorist should have hg-
drometer; just for emergency. for he
should depend on his service station
for his inspections. The specific erav-
iity readings on this instrument give

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo, Juno
12.-Famed the world over for the
scenic wonders along its mountainous

but now the last train has turned into
the roundhOuse and the road has
ceased functioning. A portion of 1T
may be opened July l to run tourist
specials. however, if plans of the re-
ceiver materialize.
The last train in the regular service
completed its run early in the even
ing of May II. Permission to cancel
service was granted by United
States district court and the only pos
sibility of an order to resume rests
with the utilities commission of the
state. Fbwever. that body has shown
no inclination in that direction despite
the fact that an action has been start
ed to do away with the order from the
federal court. If that is accomplish
ed, it is said a similar order will be
given by the utilities board.
| The Short Line ceased two years
during the war because of bridge
which had been destroyed. After a

than year ago. repairs were made
and business resumed. The line was

FIGHT COMING
FOR ASSEMBLY
SPEAKERSHIP
Johnson and Harris Will Lock
Horns Over Important
Position.

Prospects for a fight over the spea ker-
ship of the lower house Of the Indiana
general assembly. in the special session
TO convene Monday, doomed up strongly
today. when it was learned that two rep
resentatives would be contenders for the
place.
Charles A. Johnson, representative Of
Grant county, and J. Glenn Harris, rep
resenting Lake county, in the lower
house. VIII lock horns with the &. U.
P. powers in an effort to land the po-
sition.
. The speaker Of the house will be
named in the caucus to be held Non
day. preceding the opening of the spe-
cial session.
JOHNSON WILL BE
STRONG APPLICANT.
That johnson viii be a strong april
cant for the job was learned when the
information was given out in the spring
urinary election that. If he could be
sneaker of the house. he would again
become a candidate for reelection as
representative from Grant county.
johnson was, however, persuaded TO
remain ont of the race in Grant county,
by the local county machine, which
favored the nomination Of certain others
who were known to be favorable to their
aspirations
IF I knew that Jesse Eschbach would
not resign his position with the state
board of accounts, to remain in the leg
isIature. as speaker, then 1 would enter
the race" Mr.. Johnson is said to have
declared
Since Mr. Eschbach has not resigned
his position, Johnson will now probably
become an avowed candidate for speaker
OF the house during the special session.
FRIENDS WILL
AID JOHNSON.
1t is said that numerous friends of
the Grant county man will come to IN

endeavor to land the position.

CITY AND SCHOOLS
WILL LOSE HEAVILY.

In explaining the effects of the tax de-
cision. the county auditor stated that the
city and schools in Marion county would
lose approximately S13J0.000 in revenue
the county viii lose $3.50. 600, and the
state about S225, 600, and the nine town
ships in Marion county a total Of about
SO 600.
This is indeed serious said Mr.. Fes-
Ter, in admitting that conditions over
the entire state viii be chaotic as a re-
suit of the higher courts decision.
There is still another serious prob
lem," said Mr.. Fesler. "on January l
of this year we had a gravel road bond
Indebtedness Of about S2.519,000 and of
that amount about 1862 800 is due this
year in principal and interest.
WILL RUN SHORT
ABOUT $4,000.
"The levies provided TO obtain that
money were fixed so the sum could be
barely netted and as things stand now
we will run short about $50 600 in paying
the interest and principal.
Where the money is coming from
do not know as there is no legal pro-
vision authorizing a loan for this pur
pose" said Mr.. Fesler.
The county auditor pointed out that
there is still another problem as there
was a county bond indebtedness Of
50, T62 900 and of that amount about
5000, 600 is due this year in principal and
interest
''Of course we can float a temporary
loan for that" explained Mr.. Fesler.
The total tax duplicate nets $697 ,533,
240, of which 20 per cent is real and i'm
proyements and 80 per cent personal.
HESITATES TO THINK
OF I.ARnR INVOLVED
Mr. Fesler stated that he hesitated to
think what it would mean II every ono
of the 6o,000 and more names on thu
treasurer's books had to be changed in
accordance with the decision.
And every one OF those G0,000 taxpay-
ers will be affected in some way by this
decision" said Mr.. Fesler.
It is thought that before any action
win be taken TO change the tax records,
the county auditors over the state will
wait TO see if a rehearing will be grant
ed by the supreme court.
