All the resources of the military

the battle" spectacular.

ton against future wars.
Lord Allenby called the Kellogg
pact the greatest modern move to-
ward peace and said that IF Amer

0NE-CENT TAX RATE
TILT DENIED BY BOARD
Levy Figure Set at S1.2 Cents, Same
as This Year.

Marion County was denied the
1-cent tax increase proposed in the
1929 budget when the State Tax
Board Monday set the rate at
31.2 cents, the rate prevailing this
year. The board arrived at the
figure by slashing a proposed half
cent increase from the county gravel
road repair fund and a similar
amount from the sinking fund levy.
This leaves the county general
fund at 14.5 cents, sinking fund 10
cents, tuberculosis fund rs cents,
and gravel road repair 25 cents.
The only increase over last year is
half cent in the tuberculosis fund.
Hearing on the rate was held last
week. Remonstrance was filed by
the Indiana Taxpayers Association,
objection being to the proposed one
half-cent increase in the gravel
fund
