COX CONDEMNS
HUGE WASTE Of
PUBLIC NONE \
Cut Out the Graft, Reduce
Levy Is Plea at Tax
Hearing.

Vigorously condemning the fla.
grant expenditure OF public money
by State and county officials, Charles
e. Cox, former judge of the Indiana
Supreme Court, implored the State
tax board today to reduce the pres.
ent S0.cent Marion County levy and
"cut out the graft.
Cox, appearing as a remonstrator.
declared the people Of Indiana are
being oppressed by taxes, due largely
to mismanagement and are not get
ting the services for which they
pay" Citing the instance where Mar.
ion County commissioners recently
paid $4,453.50 more for automobile
trucks than the same trucks were
offered to Parke County, Cox de-
clared, 1T is time our taxpayers are
permitted to say something about
things"
Bad Name
The truck deal was disclosed by
The Times several weeks ago.
Indiana is getting a bad name
abrol don account of some things
that have been going on for quite
while. Marion County bears no bet
ter narle among her neighbors. It
is costing lis S7.s5 per capita each
year to run the State government.
THAT truck deal is Just one Of
the few that have been pulled on us
here recently. Unlawful diversions
are being made constantly from our
road repair and maintenance fund
for the purpose Of building new
pavement. The Georgetown road is
an example, new. seni-permanent
improvement, built for private enter
prises, the Speedway people.
Waste Heavy
There has been a heavy waste IN
Marion County by putting broken
stone on our roads instead of gravel,
I'm not asserting why it's done. but
I think I know. The people are los
ing money; I do kno what We've
got to stop this reign Of graft wfiers.

All Golf Records
Not Made on
Links

As a rule when persons serve
for a season or two as secretary
or treasurer, or both, at golf
club they generally have enough
and are quite willing to let
some one else carry the load.
In Great Britain there is
club which has had only one
honorary treasurer and one
honorary secretary since it was
started twenty-four years ago.
This sounds like a record.
Here in America there have
been instances of an occasional
club president lasting for
score of years or whereabouts,
but it is doubtful if there has
ever been secretary of treas
urer to serve that long.

The Mackmen were blessed with

finished second, too, didn't they?"
Connie told sports writer in
Florida that he thought his team
might win. IF the pitchers lived
up to expectations and the bats

no means certain in his own mind
that either of these necessities was

season in excellent shape. The.

the Griffs during the first month

of them, should be sitting pretty

hurdle, though, with the Grifts
not admitting any superiority in
the AS.
Bucky Harris. too, knows that
his club will be sitting pretty
with flock of victories over
