WILL PREPARE
BUDGET FORMS
Clerk Farmer to Proceed
Under Provisions of New
Tax Law.

Budget forms for cities, counties, towns
ships and other municipalities as defined
by the State tax law win be prepared inns
mediately by Edward Farmer, newly ap~
pointed State budget clerk. according to
information obtained at the office of the
board of accounts today.
Under the tax law enacted at the 1920
special session and re-enacted in the
regular session Of 1921, the board of ac-
counts must provide forms for the bud-
gets Of every taxing unit and these buds
get must be published. According to
officials of the board of accounts, budget
forms have been in use of some time, but
they are out of date and not complete.
In the cases of the city of indianapolis
and of Marion County, the budgets fol-
lowed only the general lines of the
boards forms, but the budgets as COM
pleted were approved by the board, Of
ficials stated.
According to Mr.. Farmer, the old
budget followed only very general lines,
quire proposed expenditures to be items
lied in detail.
While no reference was made to the
contention of W. V. Rocker Indianapolis
attorney, that no expenditures can be
legally made unless they are provided
for in the budget, there were indications
that the new forms will set out pro-
posed expenditures sufficiently in de-
tail to make them more or less work
able under this provision.

Tells Pastors HOIU
to Bring Dancing
Back to NOrmldIcy

CHICAGO. June IS. - Chicago's
Episcopal clergymen found out today
how to take the wiggle out of the
poetry of motion.
The ministers, who met today to
devise means of cleaning up dancing,
called in j. Louis GuyOn, proprietor
of the paradise" one of the largest
dancing halls in the country.
This is what he told them:
II agree with you that some of the
dancing of today is too raw, to put it
mildly.
81 have seen some of our sons and
daughters dancing at church balls,
college and society functions in such
a way that they should at least have
mad a marriage license before step
ping on the bRllrOO floor.
1--WE all know the effect on the
morals of the boys and girls who
wiggle cheek to cheek on the ballroom
floor. And parents stand by and
watch that sort of thing.
Lets cut out jazz music. People
don't dance indecently to good music.
/ tried an experiment at my academy
by playing jazz music. In sixty sec
onds the dancers wero wiggIing and
twisting in indecent pOsitiOns-dOing
everything but dancing. 1t had the
same effect as FIVE big drinks of
whisky"
GuyOn allows nothing but the old
fashioned dances in his academy.

A VICTORY IN
Open SHOP WAR
They Shall Not Pass Is
Convention WatchwOrd
Against Foes.

DENVER, Colo. June 13.-OrGanized
labor has been victorious in its fight
against those who sought to destroy
unionism.
This was the message sent out to near
Iy four million trade unionists Of the
country by the leaders Of the American
Federation Of Labor at the opening OF
its annual convention here today.
The message was contained in the re-
port of the executive committee present
ed to the convention.
1t declared that union labor had passed
through a year Of "unexampled struggle
and difficulty"
The council demanded that union labor
take the offensive. II called for rally
ing of the forces of unionism and a
concerted attack upon the enemies Of
human progress"
The report discussed the attacks
against unions by the fictitious open
shop" movement; the difficulties en-
countered because of the wave Of un-
employment and the movement for re-
duction Of wages.
An optimistic note was sounded when
the council declared the reactionary
blight Of effort has bitten as deeply as
possible" but added. In the coming year
we must make sure beyond all Of doubt
the stability and supremacy Of the demo-
cratic ideals Of the trade uniOnism move
ment"
The council urged the building up Of
union membership as the most effective
means Of combating its enemies.
Although the report showed a de-
crease in membership Of the American
Federation of Labor during the last year,
union leaders claimed that there had been
an actual increase in all classes Of mem
bers. Men out Of work are not obliged to
pay dues and are not counted as paying
