ULSTER MEETING

LONDON. Aug. G. Lieutenants Of
canon De Valera and Sir James Craig
were reported in conference today blaz-
ing the trail for the direct negotiations
between the Sim Fem and Ulster leaders.

poned meeting between De Valera and
SIR James.

De Valera now was confronted with the
problem Of obtaining an agreement with
Ulster for peace.

$4,000 pleasure automobiles in Indiana

which would be subjected to this tax

earned S1,513, f6505 from the Federal
Governments road fund-that is. that
amount is due the State for highway i'm

be received.
At this rate the money derived from

all the Federal aid Indiana gets for the

tax law are changed before the new rates
are finally adopted, an automobile owner
in Indiana will be obliged TO pay five
distinct items on his car.
One will be the per cent sale tax,
which is passed on the purchaser
Another will be the SO straight Fed

The third viii be the purchase Of

The fourth viii be the property tax
and in addition TO this he viii be obliged
to pay 30 cents for a certificate Of own

According to the State board Of tax
commissioners the average valuation Of
an automobile is $3.50 and the average
rate Of taxation IS Sc. Therefore. the

MYSTERY STILL
SHROUDS IRISH
PEACE FARLEY
Should Negotiations Fail,
Lloyd George May Make
Appeal to Country.
SAVAGE WARFARE SEEN

LONDON, Aug. ga deep shroud of
mystery continued today 20 veil the exact
status of the Irish peace negotiations.
So uncertain has the situation become,
owing to the consistent official silence
as to what is going on behind the scenes
that the press has begun to speculate
upon what will happen IL it is suddenly
announced the pour parlers have broken
down.
SPECULATE on
NEXT STEP.
The Daily Express, conceding this is a
possibility, states the government is
overhauiing its organization with a view
TO doing one Of two things if the epoch
making peace attempt should be suddenly
declared a definite failure:
1. To appeal to the country to Sc
cure the passing Of 4 new Irish act"
2. To ask the cOuntry's approval
of a policy to be adopted in the case
Of the Sim Fein definitely refusing
TO accept the British governments
offer.
Either alternative would involve new
elections, it IS believed.
The new policy limited at in the second
doubtless would be one Of blood and
iron" for there is no doubt anywhere that
a break Of negotiations would be fol
lowed promptly by resumption Of hos
tilities on an unprecedented scale.

MADE GOOD
SUPERINTENDENT.
Caleb was a New Englander who be-
lieved that the Atlantic ocean is favor
ably located, being adjacent to Boston !;
and he was known as reliable Presby-
terrain. Possibly that was why he was
rredestined to be Indiana 8 second super
intendent of public instruction. 1t is
also possible that he may have pulled
few strings IN favor of the Presbyterian
colleges, but If so, he did 1t so dis
creetly that he was not detected. On
the contrary he served with credit to
himself and benefit to the public. As to
his fears, there is probably not person
living who can tell the religious affila-
lions of our last five superintendents of
public instruction. If there has been
any criticism of any of them on that
account. or indeed on any other ground,
it certainly has not been confded to the
general public.
And under this system the public
schools have fourished and developed

State. If in 1851, anybody had foretold
that in 1921 the people OF Indiana would

that this office usually goes with the rest
of the successful ticket; but that is
largely due to the fact that both parties
aim to nominate good men. because they
know that a meaterinl part OF the voters
will resent other acton. 1t is historical
that In 1873. when Thomas A. Hendricks
was elected Governor-the first Demo-
cratic Governor in any northern state
after the Civil War-the only other Dem
ocrat elected was Milton B. Hopkins,
candidate for superintendent OF public
instruction; and he was elected on
