Harry 0. Garman, former chief en-
gineer Of the public service commission.
who recently came to the defense Of the
commission III the Indiana Electric Cor
poration case, previously made the
statement that the corporation was
trying to steal $7OO0,0OO,' according to
a letter written by Edwin Stears, an at
torney, TO j. Stephen Tuilen, leader in
the Enterprise Civic League. The letter
was made public today by MIR Fullen
after he had shown it to Mayor Samuel
Lewis Shank. The mayor said he agreed
1t should be given out as showing Mr.
Garmans attitude.
Some several weeks ago, shortly after
the public service commission refused
to permit the merger on a value, 1
remember il, of something like so OUO-
600, / had conversation with MIR
Garman in which he stated that If
IN merging the corporations they had
tried steal a million or two, they
could have probably covered it up aud
gotten away with it, but they are try
ing to steal seven million, the letter
says.
REITERATEs FORMER
STATEMENT.

talk with Mr.. Carmen with reference
to the merger and in this conversation

Greater Rivesville will soon be a
thing Of the past. About two years
ago what Is now known as North

into the corporation, thus giving
the town population OF more than
1880 citizens. Lately seeds OF
dissention have become sown with
the result that these two sections
have lately circulated a petition
asking for a dissolution Of the
union. Several have signed this
petition while others wish the
situation to remain as 1t has been.
Under the present arrangement,
the town has made many improve
ments, 1t is claimed. The town Is
in fine shape financially and in
another year hoped to be free OF

SALES TAXPLAN
WILL bEFORCED

Congressman Who Took w. r,
Hearst's Canada Trip Deter
mined in Fight for Bonus.
BY Universal Service.

Members of Congress who form
ed the delegation that visited Can
ada as the guests of William Ran
dolph Hearst to study the work
ings Of the sales tax are. unani-
nous for a sales tax-bonus meas
ure.
The fight for the sales tax in
connection with soldier bonus leg
islation will be carried to the floor
OF the House II necessary, men,
bers of the delegation declared to-
day. In the event that the sales
tax advocates are defeated in the
party caucus a bonus bill carrying
the sales tax will be offered in
the House as a complete substitute
for the measure reported by the
Ways and Means Committee.
The House Ways and Means Com
mittee will be formally asked to
approve the sales tax. Should the
committee refuse a call for eau
Gus Of the entire Republican MEM
bership of the House will be issued
and an effort will be made to have
the sales tax inserted in the bill
by the caucus.
Senator Smoot said that IL the
bonus bill does not carry the sales
tax when 1t reachers the Senate
from the House, he will offer the
sales tax plan as a substitute in the
Senate. The Smoot plan would levy
q tax of ! or per cent on manufac-
turers' sales and would specially
exempt agriculture.
Against Other Plans.
The President announced his op-
position to all of the proposals that
had been made for financing the
bonus, except the sales tax, at u
conference with newspaper men.
The President said that he was
absolutely opposed to the special
taxes proposed by the Ways and
Means Committee and was against
the re-establishment Of any taxes
which have been repealed or lowered.
He said that he did not think 1t
feasible to raise the money by bond
issues.
The President said that he doubted
it would be possible to raise bonus
money by bonds without advancing
current interest rates and disturb
ing the financial tranquility which
Government heads are seeking to
find.
The possibility that delay in the
passage of the bonus measure might
have to be sought was suggested by
the President. He said that while
ne was pledged to enactment of the
bonus, he had not specified the time
when II should be paid. and that he
was forced to give consideration to
