REMY PROPOSES
DIVORCE FIGHTS
Opposition in Non-ConteSted
Cases May Start,

Non-contested divorces MAY soon
become a thing Of the past in Marion
County, Prosecutor William H.
Remy announced today. Remy said
he is considering instructing his
deputies assigned to divorce courts
to fight each non-contested case to
the finish.
The deputies duty is to resist
actions in which the defendant fails
to appear The majority of divorces
granted are such cases, Remy
pointed out.
There is just one obstacle" " Remy
said. There are SO many divorces
of this kind and I am allowed to pay
each deputy only $50 a month Con
sequently, a lawyer can't afford to
put in his whole time attending to
the States defense. and the cases SO
far have slid through.
Il think a lot Of good would re
suit in the future if it becomes
known to the general public that n
divorce can't be had merely by ap-
plying"

WASHINGTON. May % Sec
1etary Of the Treasury Mellon will
recommend to President Coolidge
that he veto the tax bill. it was said
on his behalf at the Treasury De

The bill as It stands. is highly un-
satisfactory to Mellon, and his
opinion is that it viii have a de
pressing rather than stimulating
effect on business in general, it was
said
Mellon is disappointed that none
of the reforms which would have
increased revenue" has been embod-
led in the bill and is believed to con-
slider that the bill viii not produce
sufficient revenue. not only for the
first year. but year by year, to run
the Government.
Estate Tax Offset
The nigh brackets. Mellon feels,
cannot be expected to become pro
ductive and the S12.000,O00 increase
which VIII result from the new es-
tate tax. will be more than offset by
the breaking down of values and the
wiping out Of q source of revenue
which would increase later tax reve
nue..
Even the limited publicity pro
visions are considered indefensible
by Mellon in that they expose the
private affairs of business men with
out increasing revenue in the slight
est.
Meanwhile progressinves who have
swung their decisive votes to the
Democrats in all important legisla-
tion to date found themselves de
serted by their allies.
Not only viii the Democrats vote
with Republicans to indorse the
compromise tax bill but minority
leaders will aid the Republicans in
getting adjournment by June Z.
