GOODRICH SEES ;
POSSIBLE CHANGES
FOR TAX PROBLEM

INDIANAPOLIS, July 9-Governor
Goodrich today was Of the opinion
that there is only the slightest posi-
bility that the converting OF the sec
ond special session OF the legislature.
called for Monday afternoon, may be
postponed TO await the preparation Of
bill to clarity the muddled tax sit
uation in the state.
The Governor conferred in the fore
noon with indianapolis city officials,
who yesterday held a conference in
the city hall with Ele Stansbury, at
torney-general of Indiana, and with
Philip C. Zoercher, member Of the
state board of tax commissioners, in
an effort to find a way to rebuild the
financial structure
Three Solutions Possible
Three possible solutions for the tax
situation have been under consfdera-
ton at the state house.
One plan proposed was that the leg
fslature at its special session enact a
law to provide that whenever tax
valuations are changed, by order or
otherwise, the tax levies based on the
valuations shall be changed proper
tionately, so that the same revenue
shall be yielded under the changed
presented to the governor, 1t is
known. Thus far It has received the
most favor.
To Issue Bonds.
Another proposal is that the legis-
lature enact a law that would autho.
riZe taxing units affected by the su-
preme court decision to issue bonds
at present rates of interest. so as to
produce money enough to make I'D for
the revenues cut off by the decision,
with the expectation that the levies
this fall will be made high enough to
meet the situation.
Third Proposal.
The third proposal is that the legis-
lature one way or another legalizes
the action of the tax board last fall
so as to preserve the status quo of the
situation. This proposal has been re-
jected by most state officials as i'm
possible, because such a law would
have to be retroactive, which, 1t Is
believed, would be unconstitutional

America Told 8olsheuiki
The Truth; Fate's Unknown

LONDON, July 9.-Royal C. Keely.
an American engineer. recently ar
rested by Bolshevik authorities. as he
was about to leave Russia, where he
had executed an industrial commission
for the Soviet government, incurred,
the displeasure Of the Soviet govern
ment because he told the truth, plain
and unvarnished," Nicholas Isnard.
chairman of the AllRussian Central
Council Of Trade and Industry, said
upon his arrival here. Isnard fled
from Russia where, he said, the mis-
cry and dislocation of life is COM
plete"
The fate of the American has not
been learned. According to Isnard,
keely went to Russia in September,
1919, at the invitation of the Bolshevik
government and as an expert on tech
nical and industrial organization, was
asked to make a complete report to
the Soviet government ION ways and
means to save the Russian industrial
situation"

mated its great desire for his report
Here the American committed his
first great mistake. In his report, he
told the Soviets the truth, plain and
unvarnished. The gist of his report
can be resumed as follows.
"The industrial concerns of Petro-
grad and Moscow are ruined complete
", and will need years to get them in
to some sort of working order. The
machines and tools are in dlsorderly
condition, rapidly deteriorating, and
many vital parts are lacking. All skill
ed labor seems to have disappeared
completely The Donetz coal mines
are in a very bad position also, and
will need two or three years to put
them straight. The works in the Urals
are In a better condition, and could be
tuned up quickly. But nothing useful
can be achieved until all DEGREES
against property and personal security
are annulled.
