The majority faction Of the city
council today apparently had backed
down. on their plan to close the
College Ave. bridge over Fall Creek
at once. 80
Otis E. Bartholomew, one Of the
-four horsemen,' said that special
meeting Of the council would not be
called to consider the proposition I'M
less it was called by the president.
Claude e. Negley, president, declared
there would be no special meeting.
The east side of the bridge has
been closed since September because
of the sinking of northeast pier.
The special committee of council
men, composed Of Boynton ]. Moore,
Walter r. Dorset. Bartholomew,
Austin H. Todd and o. Ray Albert
son, inspected the bride and recon-
mended that it be closed at once.
City Engineer Chester c. Oberleas
said there was no danger and refused
to do so.
Oberleas announced Friday that
the bridge would be closed during

THIRTY ARRESTED IN u. S. LIQUOR DRIVE
$4,000 Delinquent
on Personal Taxes

The Marion County treasurer's Of
flee is not making any effort to col
lect delinquent taxes on personal
property from about $4,000 persons
in the county because of the split
between the treasurer's Office and
the prosecutors Office, it was learned
today.
Last fall Deputy Prosecutor John
l.. Niblack charged that the treas
urer's Office was obtaining fees for
serving demands for delinquent
taxes and for carrying out sales
when no such action was taken.
These fees amounted to 10 per cent
of the amount due and fifty cents
for demand service.
"This year we have mailed
notices." Deputy Treasurer Charles
o. Harris declared. 1--WE are wait
ing for the prosecutors office to give
us schedule on what fees we should
get. We don't seem to be able to
strike a working agreement with
that Office.
When asked if any action had been
taken to seize property to obtain
payment of the delinquent amounts
Harris stated that has not been
done in years"
Niblack said the treasurer knows
how much to collect on delinquent
taxes.

Shanghai'S calm resulted from

pulsory military training" McNutt
said.
Not Responsible
"The student is not responsible,
because it is an easy matter to get
students to protest against any
compulsory course, whether it be
mathematics, science, military train
ing or what-not.
1T is not dangerous, as they term
it, to teach our children the re-
sponsibilities of citizenship as it is
learned through military training.
Schools are failures otherwise. These
radical red pacifists talk of military
training as producing an influence in
the psychology of war; but have
found that military trained students
are merely normal American citizens
not imbued with the spirit of war;.
but prepared for any national
emergency that might arise.

The greatest national crime ever
