the number of Illegal signatures on the

taint with fraud the entire document.
No fraudulent election anywhere ever
equaled in extent the invaIidity Of this
| petition. To equal this petition in mag
nltude Of fraud, in an election in which
al the qualified voters of Indianapolis
participated, there would have to be cast
| about sixty thousand Illegal votes.
The American Legion approaches the
I public hearings of the city council, feel
ing certain that the opponents Of the
complete War Memorial program will fail
in their efforts. The petition has been
carefully examined and it positively does
not contain the legal signatures Of 3 per
cent of the qualified voters Of Indianapo-
lis. There are so many proved illegal
signatures that the per cent required
has not been obtained. In addition there
are great many signatures obtained IN

The situation now Is one Of fact
and law, and the legion has every conf
dence that the city council viii meet

On this last question the general opln-
ion Of members Of the tax board seemed
to be that In view OF buildings now un-
der construction, the school board will
not expend money wisely II given free

For that reason it seems very probable
that the final settlement will iH along the
lines suggested by Mr.. Matson several
weeks ago. that the school board adver-
tise for bids and then submit them to
the tax board for approval or rejection
The general opinion Of the tax board
apparently was stated by Commissioner

Lemaux Announcement Of agreement by
the candidate TO the compromise with the
News -Jewett faction resulted in some ex-
pressions by Shank workers of fears that
shank might now become dominated by
his former enemies.
On the other hand, Lemaux and some
Of his hackers, who are just as desirous
of complete Republican success in No

undertaken to bring back into the fold
a number OF prominent men VINO have

MAJORITY FAVOR
PRESENT PLANS.

II this IS done It may become a lead
ing issue in the school commissioner
campaign this fall as the majority fac
ton Of the school board, composed of
Mrs. Julia Belle Tutewiler. Clarence L.
Crippin and Bert s. Gadd. have been
strong defenders Of the specifications as
they now stand.
An indication that some changes in the
specification may be suggested came
when Mr. Brown asked Mr.. Gadd, chair
man Of the buildings and grounds com
mittee Q fthe school hoard, Il he would
object 70 any changes In the present
standardized specifications. Alr. Gadd
answered that he was not prepared 70
say offhand without consultation with
other persons.
From the very start Of the hearing it
was apparent that the board of tax com
missioners feels the imperative necessity
of additional school buildings IN Indi-
annapolis. and there is little chance that
the remoHstrauce Of the ten members OF
the Taxpayers League Of Indiena. which
ia the immediate cause Of the entire con
trovcrsy. will be upheld

not, is a bond issue advisable. but, can

MAY SUGGEST CHANGES
New Standardized Specifi'
cations May Grow Out of
Hearing on Bonds.

Settlement of the long-standing
question Of the approval or disaD-
proval by the State board of tax
commissioners of the proposed bond
issue for the erection of additions
and remodelling of old buildings at
schools Nos. 16, Sc, 3S and 62 is in
sight, following a conference between
the tax board and the Indianapolis
board Of school commissioners yes
terday afternoon.
At the end Of the conference late Fri
day, John J. Brown, chairman or the
tax board, announced his body would
follow the suggestion OF Frederick e.
Matson, attorney for the school board,
and would submit to the school board In
writing a list Of suggestions and recon-
mendations as to what step it thinks the
school board should take in order to as
sure the approval Of bond issue for the
proposed improvements.
From the tenor Of remarks and ques-
uOns by individual members Of the tax
board It IS considered a certainty that
bond issue will be approved, but that 1t
viii be far short Of the SS47 600 asked
originally by the board Of school COM
missioners. It is not at all impossible
that the tax board may suggest changes
in the standardized specifications for
school buildings adopted almost two
years ago on the ground that these re-
quire the expenditure Of more money
than the school city Of Indianapolis can
AFFORD in view OF the present large num-
ber OF children attending halliday school
sessions, and the present financial condi-
tiOn of the school city.

BRITAIN WOULD AID U. s.

Speaking to both Americans and Filipinos at Manila, Lord NorthclIne the great London publisher, said that in any struggle in the Far East Great Britain would fight beside the United States. He told the FIlipinos they had as much home rule as Aus traIia or South Africa, and but for the United States they would cease to exist as a government. No peo- pie in the world have had fairer deal" he declared, and he warned the Filipinos that without the Am erican flag the thousand millions who are not so far away" would take possession of those islands, which the natives could not defend.

REFORM IN APPROPRIATIONS

Washington, Oct. 3l.-(Special correspondeuce) .-Congressman NJ. B. Madden, chairman of the appro- priations committee of the House, is cooperating with Budget Director Dawes in an effort to stop the prac- tice of making continuing or per manent appropriations. It has been the custom in the past for execu- tive heads to ask sufficient funds to finish contemplated piece of work, even though it should run over a period of years. Succeeding Con- gresses have continued such appro- priations almost automatically with out adequate investigation as to their adyisability. Hereafter the annual needs of every executive de 1 partment must be placed before Congress in the estimates, and there will be definite appropriations made for that fiscal year. The new praC tice will insure the annual investi
 gation of every item that appears 1T the appropriation bills.

BRITAIN AND JAPAN

The daily Alaskan., 1921-11-15

Britain's acceptance of the principle and spirit of Americas proposals for a limitation of the naval arma- ment of the powers, is laid before the conference today by Arthur Bal four. Baron Kato made a similar reply for Japans acceptance In the same sense in which Britain accept, ed the proposals.
 The conference adopted the plan of a committee of the whole in which the plan will be worked out by the big five. Under this plan the conference will be resolved into two committees of the whole, one for the direction of the armament and one for the direction of the eastern questions, thus removing the real work of the negotiations from the open sessions of the conference and handing them over to the executive confines of the committee rooms.
