and,
OF the Act Of 1921, hearing on the
merits of the remonstrative petition was
subsequently held before the tax board
at the state house. These hearings We're
characterized by openly hagrant, dis,
procedure During all the hearings the
tax board officials were obviously indu-
enced not by evidence that came TO them
through lawful channels Of the hearing,
but lent greedy ears to Information that
came to them through back door, unre-
liable and surreptitious sources which
the school board at that time had no OPP
portunity TO meet. The bringing In Of
comparisons with other school buildings,
without evidence at an open hearing as
In all elements of comparison, is an il
lustrGiion. Witnesses for the school
board, having expert knowledge Of build
ing construction, were waved aside with
out hearing by the declaration of tax
board officials that all the expert testi-
mony in the State would not influence
them. Later Developments show that the
tax board Of these hearings either will
fully or through ignorance failed to give
the public accurate information as to
comparative school building costs; and
Whereas, At the last hearing, on July

built school buildings In the State, which

Whereupon this Loard requested the tax
board to state In writing any specific
objections it might have to the plans

contemplated, which objections would re-
ceive this boards immediate attention
This the tax board promised to do, but
never did. The school board also Of

law does not contemplate that the tax
board shall exercise such extraordinary
functions in connection with the con-
sideration of proposed bond issues. but
because there had been such consistent
effort made by the tax board to con-
fuse the present issue by the injection Of
opinions as to the relative value Of
buildings erected in times past, the
school board made these suggestions with
the hope that favorable action might be
advanced more rapidly; and,
Whereas, instead Of stating its Oh

WOMEN HEAR
DISCUSSION OF
AMENDMENTS
Stress Importance of First
Proposed Change in
Basic Law.

A strong appeal was made to the mem
bers of the League of Women Voters and
the Local Council Of Women for their
support Of the proposed first amendment
by DR.. Amelia Keller, at the mass meet
ing of the two organizations, held Tues
day afternoon in the assembly room of
the Chamber of Commerce.
Let us put a bounty on good citi-
zenship,' she said, "by giving to it great
influence, by rendering it high honor and
by holding 1t in incompatible esteem
If the foreigner wishes to vote then let
him become naturalized and thus show
his fitness and appreciation Of that great
privilege for which America rs have
fought and died.
'Au but six States in the Union re-
quire voteres to be citizens, and it is
time voting privileges in Indiana should
be based upon principles of justice and
right rather than expediency."
She pointed out the three fold pur-
pose Of the amendment: To make the
State constitution conform with the Fed
eraI constitution relative to woman suf-
frage; to prohibit foreign born persons
from voting until they are fully natural.
lied under the laws of the United States
and TO eliminate registration as a quail
fcstion for suffrage.
Lloyd D. CIaycombe CT the Service
Club spoke on the importance Of the
adoption 70 the first amendment
DO everything possible to make the
ballot worth something in Indiana, it's
too cheap he urged.
Eben II. WoIcott spoke in favor Of the
amendments 10 and IL. He stated the
taxation law Is neither uniform or just,
that in fact IS as menace TO the Indiana
citizens.
J. P. Dunn spoke on several Of the
amendments. dwelling particularly on
the ninth amendment which would make
the office of State superintendent ap-
pointive instead Of elective. He declared
himself as being bitterly opposed TO such
a change. declaring Il TO be a vicious
amendment, and pointing out that no
State that had tried out the elective sys-
TEN ever returned to the appointive, but
many had changed from the appointYe to
the elective.
Philip Zoercher, Of the State board Of
tax commissioners, concluded the pro-
gram with general summarizing of all
the amendments, laying particular stress
on the ninth, which he said should he
supported. He gave as his reasons that
men Of the highest type with ability and
training VIII not always enter poltJCh4

Statements RI members OF the board Of
public safety, made yesterday, TO the eff
feet hat the police depar ment is unable
70 keep down traffic accidents and has
arrested twice a many persons for high
way regulation violations during the first
eight months Of this year as during the
same period in 1920 because high fines
are net imposed upon speeders and other
offenders against public safety on the
streets in city court, today drew comment
from City Judge Walter Pritchard.
Judge Pritchard has been the subject OF
covert attacks from the board Of safety
on several occasions, the board making 1t
a practice to attempt to shift respOusi-
bIlity for lax law enforcement from the
police to the city court.
The safety board gave out figures TO
show that up to Aug. 20, this yer
1897 drivers were ordered to report at
police headquarters because OF infractions
Of the traffic rules, as compared with
e,e06 OF the same period last year and
that 1855 arrests were made, against
1928 for the same months in 1920. The

HEALTH THE KEYNOTE 70 BEAUTY

Beauty means so much to women
power, social triumph, admiration and
love. Beauty implies good health. Who
ever saw a woman raeked with pain,
struggling with weakness or disease, who
could be called beautiful? The woman
OF today in this high-strung, nervous aga
is continually OVERRIDING, with the result
that ills peculiar to her sex develop
which, unchecked, Will ruin all chances
for her happiness. The natural restora-
tive for such ailments is Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound, which for
more than forty years has been recog-
nized as a standard remedy for women'S
Ills and has done much to relieve pain
and restore good health to women.-Ad-

Suckers TN Mdriyokuckee
Die From Lack of Oxygen
Hot Summer and Lack of Wind Bring About
Unusual Condition.

ditions ar elikeiy to arise in any Indiana
lake at what he terms turnover" times
During the winter and cold months when
the water at lower levels is warmer than
the surface water there is plenty OF
oxygen for the fish, due to the constant
shifting of the water caused by warmer
water rising, which keeps the water in
circulation.
WARM MONTHS
ARE RESPONSIBLE.
During the warm months, however, es-
reciauy if there is little wind to churn
the lake into waves and whitecaps, the
warmer water settles on the top and tina
cooler water at the bottom. 1t has been
found by tests conducted by Mr.. Mann
fields department that under these con-
ditions water below the 16 to 19-foot
levels contain a very low percentage Of
oxygen. This results in fish feeding at
those levels being strangled to death
through lack Of oxygen.
Mr. Manifold says suckers require no
more oxygen than any other fish. and the
only reason they and no other fish are
dying ut Maxinkuckee is due, undoubted-
ly, TO the fact they happen to be the only
fish feeding at these lower levels at this
particular time.
SIMILAR CONDITIONS
FEW YEARS AGO.
He pointed out that only a few year,
ago during the early spring. carloads Of
fish of all kinds from the largest bass to
the smallest mlnnow died at Lake Maxim
kuc6ee and were washed up on the shores.
tbs was during the "hu" epidemic and
a line theory of fish flu" gained a wide
following throughout the State to account
for the phenomenon. According to Mr..
Manifold exactly the same conditions ex-
listed then as now only at that time q
large variety Of fish were feeding in deep
water and fell victims to the lack Of
oxygen.
Mr.. Manifold says ali Indiana lakes
have the same experiences from year to
year, and that Winona Lake seems to be
particularly deficient IN its oxygen sup
ply, tests having shown that below the
nlneteen-fo foot level, there is likely to be
little oxyg al times Of the year when
some Of the other lakes have plenty Of it
at this depth.
1t is said that during the summer just
past some Of the lakes in Michigan and
Wisconsin have gone through the same
epidemic" for the first time in many
years. This probably is due to the hot
summer which has warmed the waters Of
the lakes to a higher degree than Is usual
with them and this has resulted in an
abnormally low oxygen supply in the
lower depths OF the lakes.

Lack OF oxygen in the water due to the
hot summer and lack of wind is respon-
sible for tSe decth Of thousands of suck
ers at Lake 'daXinkuckee according to
George N Mannfeld, superintendent of
fisheries and game of the State conserya-
ton department.
For the past ten days the shores Of
Maxinkuckee have been lined with dead
suckers Of large size and cottagers and
natives have We'd with each other in
evolving theories to account for IT..
Everything from depressed industrial
conditions to the vibrations caused by the
seaplanes at Culver Military Academy
have been blamed.
One of the peculiar features of the case
has been that all the dead fish are large
suckers and there have been DO bass,

suckers among them.
