WHEAT DROPS,
FLOUR JUMPS
Here, in Plain Figures, Is
Proof Something's Wrong

The price Of wheat has dropped 20
cents per bushel since May 10
The price OF -four has risen within
six months from s1455 a barrel TO S15.45
And the retail price Of bread goes
merrily onward at II and 10 cents per
pound loaf in indianapolis.
Here is something for folks who like
to fuss with figures to fathOm:
How can -four raise In price and bread
remain stationary while wheat is drop
ping 40 per cent?
The fall of wheat is charted as follows ::
May 1, s2.4O; May 10. $3.50; June 2. $3.50 :;
June 8, $40; June 30, $500; July o,

5, S22O.
Flour increased from S14.55 a hundred
pounds six months ago to S15.25 month
ago and then rose to S15.45, where It
stands at present.
But bread prices, almost the country
over, stay the same, month after month.
Bread prices are not equal in all cities,
however.
Philadelphia pays 0 cents for a pound
loaf, while Des Moines pays Is cents for
fourteen-Ounce portion.
Prices in other large cities are as fol

FESLER BUSY ON
TAX ALTERATION
Five Counties Come in for 10
to 20 Per Cent Changes.

Preparations for altering the assess
ments as ordered by the county board Of
review by 20 per cent In Lawrence and
Decatur townships and 10 per cent in
Perry, Warren and Pike townships were
under way today by County Auditor Leo
X. Fesler,
Mr. Fesler said II is his opinion II Is
unnecessary to change the tax duplicates
in the FIVE townships affected. but that
the reductions ordered by the board OK

ships could be satisfactorily handled by
putting the amount 10 be refunded on the
tax error list,
For instance. II n taxpayer has been
assessed $IOO an Perry township. and
having paid $50 In the first instailment
instead of paying $50 In November for
the fnal installment. he would pay
only $40,
The tax error book would show an
error OF $40 and a corresponding ere
fund" Of that amount, according to Mr..
Fesler's plan.
In this way the auditor will not find
II necessary to make wholesale changes
In the tax duplicates which would have
resulted In a large amount Of extra work
at great expense.
The board of review, which was created
under the Tuthll- Kiper act has not ad-
journed sine die in Marion county, as
the members desired to wait until the
day limit has expired IN order to
meet any emergency matter which might
demand the attention OF the board.
Mr. Fesler is of the opinion that the
reductions ordered in the five townships

nue. In the county but that 1t might re-
suit in the necessity OF the making of a
loan for Perry township.

ROBERTS SPEAKS
FOR SUFFRAGE
Tells Tennessee Legislators
Their Duty to Ratify.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Aug. Gov A.
II. Roberts, in his message to the ex-
traordinary session of the Tennessee
legislature, which convened here this
afternoon, earnestly and urgently rec
ommended" the ratification of the suf-
frage amendment to the federal consti-
tuition.
His message was a strong appeal from
n legal and party standpoint for rati-
fication.
He recited the platforms Of the two
great parties. both national and state.
and declared that both parties clearly
and unequivocally declared for ratifi-
cation, and hence no PARTY man is with
out party law to support his action in
voting favorably on ratification"
He showed that platforms were ac-
cepted las party law, and are so re-
garded as pledges by party members" :"
The message recites the republican
and democratic platform planks and
makes a plea for parties in the legis-
lature to vote favorably.

A Times reporter finally found Mayor
Charles w. Jewett In his office during
the morning and asked him what he
thought Of the plea of the south side

The mayor replied he had never prom
ised the south side a market. but that
probably he had made remarks in his
campaign speeches which might be con-
strued as promises to move the mules.

tion he pushed through the purchase of

Says Rain Saturday
Will Cost City $4,000

Between 5000 and $4,000 will be
necessary to repair damage done to
wooden block pavements by Saturdays $
rain, Street Commissioner A. 0. Meloy es-
timated today.
Market and Ohio streets between Noble
street and Arsenal avenue are in particu-
larly bad shape.
Ruckle street between Sixteenth and
twenty first streets also suffered.
The trouble is due to the washing away
of the sand cushions in which the blocks
were set when the pavements were laid
and the fact that the creosote in which
they were soaked originally has dried
out
City Engineer Frank c. Lingenfelter
said the wooden block pavement to be
laid in South street, between Illinois and
West streets, would be set in concrete,
which is one of the modern methods.

there WAS a smattering Of social celebri-
ties from the great estate neighboring

EXPLAINS WHY OTHER
ROADS ARE NOT FINED.

The construction Of this road for the
obvious advantage of Commissioner
George at a cost TO the free gravel road
repair fund OF $4,000 is an explanation
Of why other roads on the outskirts OF
Indianapolis remain in an almost impas-
sible condition.
Money that should have been expend-
ed in making possible the highways lead
ing into Indianapolis has been spent in
building a practically new road for the
personal advantage OF a member of the
county ring.
Consequently the county officials pleaa
they have no funds for the repair Of the
other roads. although the taxpayers OF
the whole county have contributed an
ample sum for this purpose.
This is only one of the high-handed
methods that have been adopted by the
republican county ring in the admlnis-
tration OF county affairs,
How many thousands OF dollars Of the
taxpayers money has been similarly
diverted is known TO the state board
Of accounts by reason Of the work OF
!ts field examiners.
IT Is this knowledge that the state
board is Withholding from the public,
POSSIBLY because Of fear OF the effect
in the coming county election.
