MOVE FOSTERED
TO ABOLISH TAX
UNITS OF CITY
Shank's Threat Of Budget
Veto Scored by Depart
ment Heads.

A well defined movement asking
the 1925 State Legislature to abolish
the separate city taxing units such
as the sanitary board, park board
and the board of health, bringing
them under direct control of the gen
eral city was indicated at the city
hall today.
Mayor Shank's statement Friday
that he would veto the 1925 city tax
levy and budget if the sanitary board
obtained their request for 2.5 cents
increased levy from the council,
caused lines to be drawn more
tightly.
While William Bosom, city attor-
ney, said he thought steps should BIZ
taken for abolishing the separate
taxing units, Russell MacF'all, mem
Der Of the sanitary board, scored the
grand standing" of the administra-
ton in reducing the fax rate, and at
TIE same time Gripping depart
ments so they could not give proper
municipal service.

concerned, and the people will I'M
derstand. Now quit; quit, and you
can have anything you want"
About that time the Legislature
passed and sent up to me a bill tax
ing the dogs owned in the State.
The humorous absurdity OF such
a measure at once struck me-the
attempt to raise a few hundred dol
lars in taxes upon dogs owned by a
class of people already overburdened
with taxes, while the corporations Of
the State were paying hundreds Of
thousands OF dollars less than their
just share I therefore made1t the
occasion Of a message 10 the Legis-
lature in which l vetoed the dog tax
bill and in the course Of which 1 en-
deavored to outline the true prln-
ciples of taxation.
I also held up to view, as I had
done in my veto Of the HagemGster
bill, the exact conditions in the Sen
ate, showing how the lobby had cor
rupted the representatives Of the
people. Both OF these messages
struck home and stung. as in
tended they should. and both attract
ed so much attention throughout the
State that the Legislature Was
forced - a consideration Of the bills.
Both Defeated
After a brief fight, however, both
Of the railroad taxation bills were
defeated.
Thus the session Of 1901 closed
without our having accomplished
any Of tho important things that we
had set out 10 do.
More than this, It had enabled the
lobby and the bosses. now more
strongly organized than ever. to win
over some Of our leaders. They even
secured A manifesto signed by more
than half Of the Republican mem
bers Of both branches Of the Legis-
lature criticsing me sharply for
what they claimed 10 be my en-
enactment upon the constitutional
rights OK the legislative branch OF
the State government. and organized
themselves into a league 10 fight the
progressive movement.
I freely admit that as Governor
I used all the power and prestige OF
the office to secure the legislation
that had been promised to the peo-
pie. I arraigned the Legislature as
derelict Of duty.

May Lose Jobs

1.-THE school city is only a creature
OF the Legislature, cried Bosom.
You men may all find yourselves
without jobs. Instead of consider.
ing the future citizens let's consider
the present citizens
The school board is acting as
judge, advocate and jury now. but
it won't be when 1t comes before the
State tax board" he concluded.
Bosom pointed out many great
men in the past had risen to dis
tinction without the facilities which
the board deems necessary now. He
decried the teaching of domestic
science and asked the board to ex-
plain what It meant by visual
education.
Fred A Sims. OF the Indiana Tax
Payers Association. said the in
crease in the tax levy would be "an
alarYins thing"
Gne Good Suggestion
This orly important suggestion
made 4as a1wering the levy was that
the n S,hortridge High School be
built NktFvo units. thus spreading
the money TO be raised by bond is
sue5 over a twO-year period Such
a plan would necessitate utilizing
the old Shortridge High School
building and prevent the sale of the
building. which otherwise would aid
materially in supplying funds for
the board. Superintendent Graf
pointed out the tnadequacy OF educa-
tional facilities in building Short
ridge in two units Additional ex-
pense would be incurred for in
stalhnE- laboratory and other equip
ment in one unit and then duplicat-
Ing the same in the next unit.
z. o. Snethen. president Of the
Indianapolis Federation Of Com
munity Clubs, expressed the organi-
zation's approval Of the board s
building program. He read an In
dianapolis Times editorial before tn :
meeting, and it was heartily received
by those favoring the betterment OF
j Indianapolis schools.
Up TO Public
Adolph Emhardt stated the bur
den rests with the public to show
why the budget should not be
adopted. and so far it had failed 10
DO so. 7 would rather be criticised
for doing something than for doing
nothing at ALL" Emhardt said.
Brandt C. Downey, who said he
didn't represent anybody but him
self. congratulated the board on its
building program.
Mrs. Nettie Bay. president of the
Parent Teacher Association OF
School 80, told how they had worked
to make No. 80 a better school and
i she hoped the board would 60 ahead
with its program.
Rev G. G. Baker spoke OF the

May Go to Council

The sanitary board has been ad-
vised by attorneys that the higher
levy requested can be obtained over
the mayors opposition through the
council Attorneys say the fact the
sanitary board is a separate unit

mayor,
In answer the mayor said he would
veto the city budget. when passed
by the council if the increase is
granted This would automatically
throw the city back 70 the 1924 levy
Of s10S75. This years levy was cut
to S1.055 by Mayor Shank The pro.
posed sanitary board increase would
bring It back to S1.0S.

La Toilette The machine musters every
insidious inluence-money, business
powerf and the lobby to defeat the
passage OF bill for railroad taxation.
Despite the lobbyists, the bill passes the
lower house; in the Senate. however. the
machine men indirectly defeat the meas
ure by passing substitute.
The gentlmen who opposed us
were ingenious. Under the Hage-
meister substitute they proposed to
try out the direct primary principle
with respect to county Offices alone.
Now they knew well enough that
county elections scarcely touch the
real problem of party caucuses, con-
ventions and legislation; that they
involve little besides personal strife
for small local Offices.
They expected by the application

small vote with a big expense
charged up against It. They knew
that it would take several years to
try out the experiment and that by
that time the progressive group, un-
able to prove the excellence Of their
policies, would have merited the dis
trust Of the people.
But I was clear we should not
stand for anything that did not
strike at the root OF the whole boss
system. So I promptly vetoed the
Hagemeister bill and took the severe
flashing OF the same newspapers
which had all along been fighting
the direct primary.

Honorable James NJ. Graham. Re
publican candidate for Presidential
elector, has been a resident of the
State for so many years that the
mind of man runneth not to the
contrary" In mind and body, how
ever. he is still in the pink Of phys
ical and mental perfection. In 1915
he was honored by the Legislature
of Wyoming by elevation to the i'm
portant position of Speaker of the
House OF Representatives. He is an
able parliamentarian, and performed
the duties of the office to the entire
satisfaction of the membership.
Mr.. Graham is a ranchman. his
post office being HALEY. Fremont
county. this state. His ranch is upon
the Sweetwater between Lander and
Rawlins, and many a wayfarer has
found hospitable welcome at his dom
icile. He has very strong convictions
in political matters. and fully believes
in the ability. integrity, and common
sens of Calvin Coolidge and Charles
G. Dawes. In a recent interview,
Mr.. Graham discussed conditions as
they affect the farmer and rancher
as follows:
Farmers must have credit or
farm on a very limited scale and must
have long enough time to allow them
to dispose of their produce to the
best advantage.
I'VE know the attitude OF Presi-
dent Coolidge In the matter. Farm
loans have been made easier n
more liberal. We know that through
his efforts loans were arranged for
the wheat farmers OF the Northwest.
In lieu OF something better the time
OF the War Finance was extended
during his administration.
Under present conditions there Is
a great temptation to enact all kinds
OF radical and unsound laws to rem

Mt once by law. I think laws may
be enacted that would be OF some
benefit. but In the main things must

NOVEL AUTO PASSED THRU
RAWLINS ON TUESDAY

On Tuesday OF this week a specially
built automobile or a REQ chassis
was In this city en- route from Holly
wood, California, to New York City.
The purpose OF the car was to ad-
vertise a moving picture film. THE
Land OF Whispering Hope.'-the car
was carrying the film and the picture
is being shown at theatres along the
route. Because the Strand theatre
program was filled, 1t could not be
shown in this city.
The automobile was arranged in
the form of a house, there being a
leather couch, running water and a
wash bowl. Just in the rear of the
front seat there was an electric
motor which was capable of gener-
ating ITO volts, also it worked an
air pump which supplied air for a
steam caliope. Around the top of
the car was a string of lights and
on the sides signs were
painted.

Have you seen this new car?
1t is a closed~oben car!

Even aside from the sensational new
DUPLEX BODY-the Studebaker Special
Six has 40 superior in value in any car yet
built. 1t was the conscientious intention
of Studebaker in planning and designing
the new Special Six to make it just such a
leader-to that end every resource OF the
great Studebaker organization has been
concentrated.
Even if we had the space we could not
begin to tell you of the very many new
and unusual features which indicate its
superiority.
Certainly no words could do Justice to
its distinctive beauty.
In appearance it is unlike any other
American car-yet its long, low, broad,
sweeping lines are conservative, crisply
stylish and in beautifully good taste.
Think of the new Studebakcr Special Six
Duplex-Phaeton as the ultimate in value
and performance in a hve-passenger car
think OF it as a car matchless in practical
convenience and desirability.
But to appreciate the sparkling beauty Of
its totally new lines you must see il. To
know its perfection of operation and per-
tormanc you must ride in it and drive it.

One momenti it is a closed car-in FIVE sec

airy. open car. But it is always the closed
car in deep soft cushions, beautiful fittings
and finish and luxurious riding comforts.
When you see it and ride in it you will
now why it has made so profound a sem
sation-you will realize then that it gives
you more than the finest open car can ever
give you, plus the comfort and protection
OF the closed car.
And all at the price Of an open car!
And this is the new DUPLEX BODY

Hundreds Of thousands OF owners all over
this country and abroad have given the
Studebaker Special Six a name for value.

mated to Mrs. Will WEIGH. President
of the American Legion Auxiliary, a
quantity of yarn left from the wal
activities of the Red Cross. Part of
this yarn is to go to the Government
hospital at Sheridan, Wyoming, for
the use of disabled veterans there
who have been taught to knit. and
part of 1t will be knit into afghans
by women of the Auxiliary for the
use of invalid patients in the Sheri-

and one that will be approved by
