INDIANA TAX LAW

The Republican platform advisory
committee, in session yesterday at In
dianapolis, Endorsed the state tax law
and pledged the 72nd general assem-
bly, to make any notifications that
experience may demand after fair
and impartial trial" The committee,
in the only specific revision recon-
mended, urged the exemption of
household goods of a certain value
from taxation.
Memorial Building Favored
The committee also recommended
immediate and united support for
the erection of a state memorial
building commensurate with the serv-
ices and sacrifices rendered by 1ndi-
ana soldiers, sailors and marines"
Among other important state ques-
lions the committee urged the enact
ment of a blue sky law that would
protect the citizens from unscrupu-
lous and irresponsible stock dealers;
the institution of national and state
budget system, and increased salar-
les for teachers.
The stand taken by Senators Lodge,
New and Watson on the League OF
Nations was Endorsed and President
Wilson was CONDEMNED for arbitrary
dictation." The committee favored a
program of international understand
ing.
A small standing army was in
dorsed but the committee took nc
action on universal military training.
According to the statement issued at
the close of the meeting, the commit.
tee favors "a small standing army
with trained citizen reserve, with
recognition of universal obligation to
serve during war"
Ed. o. Paul, of Cambridge City, and
Rudolph Leeds, of Richmond, are
members of the committee. Thirty
eight of the fifty members were pres

mine. But the rugged West does not
appeal to Marion, and when tempta-
ton to return to her old life presents
itself in the allurements held out by
James Cardwell. a former sutton for
her hand and money, she goes back
East.
How Flint returns to the East and
through his Wall Street operations
ruins Cardwell, and how he finally
learns that Marion has never ceased
to love him, makes a screen story
that is filled with action, suspense,
heart interest and every necessary
element of the silent drama.

the Washington theatre today and to-
morrow.

creased farm production and claims
that food conditions are grave on that
account, and cites the scarcity of
farm labor. He further warns the city
man to get back of the farmer with
money and credit, to avoid still higher
food prices next winter. and so that
the things needed to feed the world

COAL DEALERS WARNED NOT
TO BID OPENLY FOR COAL

TO BID OPENLY FOR COAL
A warning against the practice of
bidding in the opening market for
coal, when a very serious shortage
exists, which will result in sending
the price to exorbitant figures, has
been received by local coal dealers in
the form Of a circular letter sent out
by the Indiana Retail Coal Merchants
association. 1t is next to impossible
for retail dealers to buy coal at any
price because of the great demand
and a fast diminishing supply. They
are urged not to bid against factor
les who will pay any price for steam
coal, because his interests and those
Of his customers can thereby be best
protected.
