Too Little Service
Rendered,

We are today hog tied and hog

AS I sit in my office surrounded
by courts of the States last resort,
I hear law. read law. talk law-law
in every form. I have come 10 one
conclusion that we have too much
law. and too little service" declared
DUNCAN.
Not Living by Justice
1T is not the law that saves the
world or the statutes that govern
the world. We are not living by
justice for fear too few want justice.
Some laws are rIgidly enforced while
others go uninforced. am far

Justinian code ever written. What
about our own country?
Render a Service
I'VE live today and plan for to
morrow, but that living and plan
ming is naught unless we can rem
der a service, by kindness or sound
public ideals, that goes to make life
more worth living.
Basing his article on the PROPOSE
ton that the spirit Of service is the
worlds hope. DUNCAN describes the
successful man as one who has
lived well. laughed often and loved
much and tried to leave the world
better than he found it. He looks
for the best In others and gives
the best he has. Life to him is an
inspiration, and his memory Is a
benediction."

Chamber ~ Commerce committee,
said no other board had ever tried
to raise so much money at one time.
He opposed the increased levy.
John F. White, speaking for the
Chamber Of Commerce committee,
expressed the desire for cooperation
between the chamber and the board
and that he felt some reductions
might be made.
ROlla Chowning. member OF the
Brightwood Civic League. said the
wild spending of money" by the
board was comparable TO the trial of
Leopold and Loeb in Chicago.
No Penalty Provided
-. V. Harrison. the Chamber of
Commerce expert" on budget reduc.
ton, intimated the board would not
be compelled by law to provide a
levy OF s cents for a sinking fund
and added that there would be no
penalty if the board should violate
the law. Board members showed
today that the statutes of Indiana
makes such violation a criminal Of
Tense punishable by fine and i'm
prisonment.
They pointed out also that if they
did not provide sufficient revenue
for the sinking fund the market
bonds of the school city would be
ruined.

CITY COMBED FOR
ALLEGED TROLLEY
BARN BANDITS
Police Mystified When Yeggs
Slug Cashier and Take
$685.,

Hindered by the inability Of the
victim to talk, detectives are at
tempting today to unravel the mys-
ferrous circumstances attending at
tack and robbing Of Hubert Sconce,
80, of 50 n. Ritter Ave, who was
slugged and robbed of $2O5 while at
work in the cashiers office at the
Louisiana St. barns of the Indians
apohs Street Railway Company Erie
day night.
Rufus GuTledge, 1915 E. Minnesota
ST. a motorman, held by police for
questioning after he was seen leav~
ing the Office shortly before tho dis
covery of Sconce in dazed condi"
ton, was later released.
Jesse Bandy. 500 St. Paul St, en-
ployed in the office, told police when
he went upstairs after checking up
on the incoming crews he found
Sconce sitting at a desk unable to
talk, with blood streaming from a
wound nj his head. Bandy notified
Clinton Huff, 1917 n. Tuxedo St,
night superintendent. who called po-
lice.
Blood on Roof
Two pools of blood, found on the
roof Of a shed under the windows
in the cashiers office, led police to
believe Sconce had crawled back into
the Office after being carried onto
the roof by the robbers.
BY mumblings and signs made by
Sconce, who made a desperate CT
fort to talk. police were inclined TO
believe Sconce was in the rest room
and was called to one Of the win
dows, where he was slugged. It Is
thought Sconce was struck when he
put his head out of the window IN
answering the call. This fact IS
streng. hened by the orderly condi-
ton of the room, which shows no
sign Of a struggle.
It is believed at least three men
participated In the robbery, all Of
whom were familiar with the sur.
roundings.
In Serious Condition
Hospital attaches say they do not
believe that the blow fractured
Sconce's skull although he was re-
ported as in a serious condition at
the city hospital
Police under Lieut. Ed Schubert
and Sergt. Harry Nagleisen, i'm
mediately spred a dragnet and police
watched roads leading from the city.
Men are at the bedside of Sconce
in case that he will be able to give
descriptions Of the robbers.

BOARD APPROVES
SCHOOL BUDGET,
AFTER MEETING
Proposed Levy to Stand I'm
less Changed by State
Tax Board.

Proposed tax levy Of s1.106 on the
800 for the 1924-25 indianapolis
school budget Will stand as proposed
by the board unless changes are
made by the State tax board follow
ing another public hearing Sept. 8.
1t was revealed today the board
has cut maintenance items approx
mately $4,000 anticipating a saving
under the proposed appropriations.
The levy of S1.106 will produce
actually 100000 less than the total
of s9,697.S52.24 in the budget. To
raise the total asked for, levy of
s1.134 would have to be made.
At the conclusion Of public meet
ing Friday night the board formally
adpted the proposed budget.
A preponderance Of sentiment at
the meeting Friday, attended by
representatives Of various organiza-
tons invited by the board to meet
with them, seemed to favor the
building program. Those who op-
posed the proposed budget spoke
chiefly in generalities with destruc-
tive criticism unsupported by helpful
suggestions.
William Bosom. city attorney, who
attended the meeting at the instance
OF Mayor Shank, delivered a TRADE
against everything generally thought
OF as progressive in educational
measures, and threatened the board
members with the loss of their po-
sitions and the teachers with cuts in
salaries.

the Legislature TO act. Weeks went

was perfectly plain that it was their

at work. Business connections, so

all I could do. as I sat there day
by day watching the precious time
go by. was TO communicate with the
Legislature in one Of two ways-by
message. or by personal appeal to
the members to redeem the promises
that we had made 10 the people as
basis FOR our election.
The one way was provided for in
the constitution. the other was not.
But I could not he stopped from
making appeals to those members,
I could not. II was very well known
that I vas the only man in the cap
