Present tax laws, Mr. McAdoo de-

burden of taxation 'redistributed so
tr2t he men who earn their incomes
by the sweat of their brow and with
their brains shall not be required to
n2y as heavy taxes as those who live
in idleness and draw incomes from
safe investments"
"a distinction should be made,
said he, "between earned and un-
earned income" He declared hiri ri5elf

tions"; for reduction of farm ten
antcy; for the same service and sup
plies for farmers organizations IN
interstate commerce as apply to pri-
vate enterprises in the same circum-
stances; for regulation of monopo-
listic control of corporations in in
terstate commerce and as "absolute-
ly opposed to any abrdgement of the
rights of free speech, free press or

A telephone message from Green
vile last night brought the 1nforma-
tion that Greenville police officers
probably would leave To-Day for
Lynchburg for the purpose of en-
deavoring to Identify the negro held
under arrest there.
1t is understood that the clue
which led to the belief that the man
in prison at Lynchburg is believed to
be Joe Turner was the fact that he
had the same banjo -proclivity play
ing which made Joe Turner we'll
known in Greenville. The man held
at Lynchburg is said to have had this
musical instrument with him and to
have accompanied his picking of it
with some well-known songs, folk
lore and otherwise. AS soon as the
Greenville officers were apprised of
this fact they felt confident that
"Slim'" was Joe Turner.
Tragedy in October.
Newspaper readers will recall the
horrible tragedy on Saturday night,
or early Sunday morning, Oct. 9Th,
when Policeman J. L. Kitchen and A
M. Blair were shot and killed by Joe
Turner following raid by officers in
Buckner Town, a notorious negro
settlement on the outskirts of the
city of Greenville. Officer Kitchin
was shot down at the gambling
"joint" and the other. Officer Blair,
was killed while pursuing the negro
from the shanty.
The fleeing negro, who was an ex-
soldier, killed the two men with an
automatic pistol which he is said to
have brought with him from France.

COURT UPHOLDS
CITY'S RIGHT
Shelby Judge Says Traffic
Ordinance Is Legal.

The right Of the city of Indianapolis
to create a congested district and 10
mark of a space in which taxicabs shall
be permitted to park and provide that
they shall park nowhere else within the
district, has been upheld by Judge AlOnzo
Blair OF Shelby Circuit Court. Judge
Blair expressed this opinion in ruling on
cases OF the city against Walter White
man and OF the city against Ray Shelley,
both defendants being taxicab drivers
The cases went to Shelby Circuit Court
on change OF venue from the local Circuit
Court. The taxi men had appealed to
the local Circuit Court from the City
Court. where they were fined 81 and costs
each for violating the city traffic ordi-
nance.
Whiteman was charged with parking
taxicab within the congested district
at a point other than in the legal taxi
stands. Judge Blair ruled for the de
PENDANT on the ground that since the
traffic ordinance permits private individ-
uals to park at most points In the con
gested district for one and one-h half
hours. a taxicab driver. not soliciting
passengers, might park his car anywhere
any other individual might legally park.
The case against Shelley charged that
he parked his private automobile in the
space reserved for taxicabs. Judge Blair
upheld the City Court decision in this
case.
In each ease the court held that the
city could legally restrict traffic in the
manner which has been done in the
traffic ordinance

According to enlightening Information
