for Two Weeks.

Bright November weather OF the
same sort that Indianapolis has
been enjoying has prolonged Booth
Tarkington's stay at his summer
home at Kennebunkport, Me-, his
sister, Mrs. Ovid Butler Jameson,

day.
The noted author probably will
not return to his Indianapolis
home, 4270 N. Meridian ST., until
week after next. He had been ex-
pected this week.
Tarkington's vision is seriously
affected but he will return by way
of New York to see the dramatized

1928 BUILDING .
IN CITY BANKS
Financiers Say Next Year
Will Find No Shortage
of Loan Money.

Indianapolis banks will hav6
sufficient funds to meet all require
ments during the coming year for
building and mortgage loan pur-
poses, according to q survey by L,
H. Lewis, Indianapolis Real Estate
Board president.
Continued expansion and growth
is predicted by the bankers. Some
of opinions expressed by local bank
ers follow;
Plenty Available
Sol Meyer, Meyer Kiser Bank
president: I'm my opinion, there Is
plenty of money available here for
mortgage loan purposes for the
coming year on desirable properties.
indianapolis will continue to grow
substantially the same as 1t has in
the past years."
George @. Forrey Jr., Fletcher
American Company president: II
know of no reason why there should
not be sufficient money available
for building and mortgage loans.
Dick Miller, City Trust Company
president: There will be supply
of funds to loan on real estate
transactions on the mortgage and
preferred stock plan during the
coming year."
Sees Good Business
w. B. Schiltges, Fletcher Savings
and Trust Company vice president:
From such information as is avail
able, there is no reason to bellows
that money for building and mort
gage loan purposes during the year
1928, or at least as far into the year
as now can be seen, will be available
in less quantity than during the
present year."
In viewing the future business
outlook for Indianapolis, Schiltges
predicted that business will continue
to be affected by business national
ly, but Indianapolis being well sit-
uated for the distribution of prod
ucts to a thickly populated and
prosperous territory, business here
is subject to less violent fluctuation
than is experienced by many other
cities less favorable situated. The
trend, while not rapid, should be
steadily upward over a long period
of time, providing initiative is not
destroyed by heavy taxation, he
said.

COOLIDGE is CRITICISED
BY FOSTER EATON
Omitted Press staff Correspondent


ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Nov. 2.-In a
sweeping indictment of the foes of
farm relief, 300 agricultural leaders
from twenty Midwest and South
ern States unanimously adopted a
resolution in conference here today
demanding "re-enactment of legiS-
Iation effectively incorporating the
principles Of the McNary- Haugen
bill" The resolution criticised Pres
ident Coolidge's farm policy.
An appeal was issued Ito the
great agricultural sections of the
nation" to throw their voting sup
port to candidates favorable to farm
relief in the approaching presiden-
tial election, regardless of previous
party allegiance. No specific men
ton of any particular candidate was
made.
Coolidge Is Scored
Members of both the Democratic
and Republican parties antagonistic
to the McNary- Haugen bill were
scored for their alleged failure to
carry out platform promises while
President Coolidge, characterized as
barren of constructive proposals"
was scored for multiplying by veto
the act of Congress for agriculture. :"
Persons singled out for attack in
Guided, in addition to the President,
Andrew w. Mellon, secretary of the
treasury; United States Senators
Borah (Rep), of Idaho; Reed
Dem.), of Missouri; Fess CRep0, Of
Ohio, and Bruce Dem), of Mary
land; and Julius Barnes, former
head of the United States Cham
Der of Commerce.
Organizations attacked for their
alleged opposition included the
United States Chamber of Com
merce, cited as a conspicuous ex-
ample of past unfair policy; farm
crop dealers and spectators, par
ticularly the grain and cotton ex-
changes; and certain industrial
groups in the east who want cheap
foodstuffs regardless of what hap
pens to the producers"
Leaders of the labor movement in
America were criticised for their al
legged disregard of the city-ward
trend of labor, characterized as de-
sired by certain large employers,
as it promises soon to provide two
bidders for every job, enabling en-
ployers to name their own wage
scales" 44~se.
Give Congress Advice
Two specific recommendations
"for the organization of the Seven
tieth Congress so that "the way is
not closed against enactment of ef-
fective legislationp were made.
1--WE ask our representatives to
insist upon the adoption of a House
rule" the resolution head, under
which ITS members can, by petition,
take any measure from any commit
tee and place it upon the calendar
for vote.
Two members of the House Com
mittee on Agriculture were not re-
turned to the SEVENTEEN Congress
one from Nebraska and one from
Kansas. We urge that these places
be filled by farm minded men from
agricultural States otherwise left
without representation on the COM
mittee."

HOLMES CLAIMS ERROR
Declines Credit for Causing DuvallS
to Resign.

Ira M. Holmes today said that
wrong impression resulted from a
statement. he issued after he gave
up his claims to the mayors office
Monday afternoon.
Holmes was quoted as saying that
the city is indebted to him for get
ting the Duvalls to resign" and that
they would have resigned for no one
but him.
IF did say that, what I meant
to convey was that I believed I had
performed service by bringing the
whole mayoralty tangle to a head.
Mr.. and Mrs. Duvall resigned only
because Duvall did not want to tie
up the pay rolls of city employees
and teachers" said Holmes.

URGES HEAVY
CUT IN TAXES
U. S. Public Will Benefit by
Reduced Prices, Con-
greSS Leaders Told.
BY PAUL r. MALLON
United Press STAFF Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2.-Republi-
cans and Democrats were in agree
ment here today on the principle
that the present corporation income
tax be reduced.
Both sides in the tax fight, the
preliminary to which is the present
group of House Ways and Means
Committee hearings, made known
they favor a cut, but differences
have developed as to its extent.
Secretary of Treasury Mellon as
proposed the present Is per cent
rate to be cut to IL per cent, but
Representative Garner, ranking
minority member Of the committee,
and other Democrats insist the re-
duction can be to 10 per cent.
Declare Public Will Benefit
The Garner proposal would cost
an estimated $3OO,OOO,OOO or more,
while Mellon holds $225, 900, 900
should be the limit of all tax cuts.
Proponents of reduction declare
the general public will benefit by a
reduction, as corporations will be
able then to reduce prices.
Garner has able backing from
Senator Simmons, N. c., ranking
minority member of the Senate
Finance Committee, who feels the
tax reduction total could be $780,
100000 with cuts or eliminations in
other rates than the corporation
levy. Likewise, many manufacturing
and business organizations favor
Gamers idea of deeper cut than
the Mellon proposal.
Feature Corporation Tax
Nine representatives of railroads.
lumber manufacturers, coal dealers.
chambers of commerce and banks
were listed to appear before the
committe today to indorse Gamers
views.
The list included: Alfred p.
Thorn, Association of Railway Ex-
ecutives; Frank j. Wisner. Laurel.
MISS, national Lumber Manufac-
turers' Association; W. L. Grouse,
Druggists and Cigar Leaf Tobacco
Associations; p w. Pinkerton, I'LL
nois Chamber of Commerce; George
M. Craig, Merchants National Bank.
Port Arthur, Texas; Thomas N. Nc
Carter, Jersey City, Public Service
Corporation of New Jersey, and
George A. Rich, Boston, Mass, stock
exchange.
The present plan of both sides is
to make the corporations tax cut
the chief feature of the new reve-
nue. bill the committee is framing
for introduction as soon as Con-
gress reconvenes. No reduction in
that tax has been made in recent
years.

REPEAL ABSENT VOTERS LAW

bill should be introduced i'll the state leg1sla-
ture abolishing the absentee voters law
The absent voter law is fraud and sham. we
90 not mean to impugn the motives OF those who III
spired and who were responsible FOR the la" mere
are as we know voters who unable to reach the
polls on election day 1t seemed hardship that they
should lose their vote through fault OF their own
Il was the desire to make provision in such cases OF
illness that led many to favor the law that Should Eo"t
be repealed. -
Actual experience has shown the law to be fail
ure and even worse for it has shown to be fraud
Evils have been everywhere They have grown
worse. We know that in elections in this county
there have at times been many absent votes cast
Candidates and their friends have workd it over
time We have actually seen "absent voters" or
rather called the streets in city IN this state
on election day.
They were voting by the absent route, bNs were
not i'll, nor away from the city. They were running
around town. wondering what it was all about Halt
of them if they asked whether they had voted
Of them if they were asked whether hey had voted
As matter of fact the absent ballot law has been
used by party machines to get out vote and IN solno
precincts in the state it is said that absent ballots
have been known to almost exceed the number OF ball
lots voted personally. There was no chance for the
election officers to identify the absent voters and no
chance for challenge
From every section of the state have come COM
plants growing out Of the the evils resulting from his
law And SO notwithstanding the fact that the repeal
Of the law may inconvenience few people, the truth
still remains that its existance presents great chance
for ballot evils Party organizations have carried
around absent applications if they were handbills
Of circus or a side show. No one party has been
too blame. All parties and most of the statel
the condition has existed.
We presume that if the law should be repealed it
would make provision for persons who are in the
governmen service, and cannot come home. Butt
whether such provision is made or not and even if
some worthy citizens are deprived of their vote, be-
cause of being the road from Illness do not
believe there is one Of them but who would make
such sacrifice in order to cleanse the ballot and re-
move the chance for deliberate fraud. Th absent
voter ballot has probably elected good many can
ddates who had no other qualification than that of
carrying application blanks around in their pockets
and voting people who otherwise would be indiffer
ent to the ballot. The greater majority of absent
ballots are cast, not by but "for' men and women
who are little interested thel should not be per-
Ynitted to vote.
Nogales international., 1927-02-13

Foreign Affairs Comnitte OF a resolution endorsing
the Presidents Nicaraguan policy without knowing
lust what his policy was. This action was taken
er the solid opposition of Democratic members OF
he Committee, who aired reasons IN speeches on the
Floor of the House of Representatives.
The attitude Of the Democrats was best summed
up. perhaps, by Representative Tom Connally OF
Texas, q member Of the Committee. He said:
"According to TIE construction which place up
on this resolution if any foreign power in Central
or South America should sell to revolutionists
or permit arms to be furnished to revoutonists this
resolution declares it to be the duty of this Govern
ment to take up arms and repel that aggression and
maintain the Diaz regime and, in effect suppress the
revolution.
"All Members know Mr. Connally argued,
"that in Of revolution in any country under in
ternatona law any government has a right to sell
arms and ammunition to either one of the beliger-
ents That is right for which this country contend
ed in the World War long before entered that ter
rble tragedy. We maintenained the proposition that
neutras had right TO sell arms and ammunition to
either of the belligerents To deny such PROPOSE
tion would be to deny the right of any people by
volution to overthrow their Government, which is
right that is recognized and known all over the
World under every civilized system
The Texas Congressman held, however, that this
was not the most serious aspect Of the situation.
This he contended was the fact that the resolution
was acted upon by the committee without any Of
flclal information and that the committe refused to
call Secretary Of State Kellogg before it.
The Senate Foreign Relations Committee AFTER
hearing Secretary Kellogg refused to act, Yet in
face of this, as Mr. Connay put it, 'the House Com
mittee, confirmed in its ignorance refused to hear
any proof Of any facts whatever from the State De-
partment". Only Republican Member of the
Committee voted for the resolution requesting Sec
retary Kellogg to furnish the information desired by|
the Democrats.
The resolution Of blanket endorsement, finally
passed by the Committee a strictly partisan vote
has not been brought before the House for a vote
Indeed, there are many who believe it never will be-
since there is a strong possibility that it would be
voted down.
