COUNTY BUDGET
TO BOOST TAX
RATE Il CENTS
High Requests of Various
Departments Branded
as 'UnthinkabIe.'

The 1880 Marion county budget
which, if approved, will increase the
county tax rate from 3l.5 cents to
So cents, will be considered by the
county council Tuesday.
Numerous civic organization lead
ers and high tax opponents in the
county have branded the high re-
quests of various county depart
ments as absurd" and "unthink-
able" and have indicated remon-
strances will be filed. Several coun-
Gil members have indicated that
numerous slashing will be done"
With Marion county's taxation
valuation increased almost $9,000,-
600 this year, persons who contem-
plated the remonstrances based OBJ
jections on the theory that Sufl-
cient additional tax money would
be provided with the increase.
To Oppose GLADDEN. Raise
County Auditor Harry Dunn,
however, with county commissioners,
seek to pay current county indebted
mes with the 21.5 cent increase to
provide a working balance for 1890.
The county in the last few years
has floated temporary loans to pay
running expenses each year. Dunn
said the county would resort to the
same method for the next few
months. At this time the county
is behind about eight months
financially.
Councilmen, according to one of
them, are unfavorable to the
county's finance plan. 1t has been
indicated that some council mem
bers will oppose ito the last straw"
a $1,000 year salary boost for
Fred 7. GLADDEN., county school
superintendent.
Whether they can prevent the
boost is doubted in legal circles in
asmuch as court action might be
taken to force the councils approval.
$4,000 Request Outstanding
Salary increase for a number of
county employees proved to be a
controlling factor in the budget in
creases. Outstanding in the list is
a request of County Treasurer,
Clyde E. Robinson, for an additional
$4,000 to pay thirteen clerks and
extra help in the delinquent tax
department. The 1929 budget of
the Office totaled $71,375.
County Clerk George o. Hutsell,
asked an increase of $4,000 to meet
boosts for six typiSts, chief deputy
and a bookkeeper. County Sheriff
George L. Winkler, asks an increase
of S., $50 to boost salaries of several
deputies and an additional $4,000
to purchase riot guns.
County commissioners who studied
the budget for several days, seeks
to raise the free gravel road rate
of 2lS cents to cents. They as
serted the present county road
maintenance fund was inadequate,
providing about II cents a day to
maintain a mile of county road.

MORON SOUGHT
! FOR MURDER OF
ILLINOIS GIRL
Fatal Shotgun Staying Is
Shrouded With
Mystery.
BIZ Enited Preae

By United Press
MANHATTAN, Ill, Sept. q
Handicapped by contradictory ele-
ments in the murder of 10-year-old
Esther Grot!1, who was fatally
wounded by a shotgun charge which
punctured her lungs and nearly sew
cred an arm, authorities today CEN
tered on the theory the child was
slain either by moron or by some
one who had sworn vengeance
against her family.
Neither Of the two theories was
supported by any definite evidence
On the contrary the few known cir
cumstances only clouded solution OF
the murder.
The history of a quarrel which
Esther's father, William Groth, a
farmer, had several years ago, was
being traced. Neighbors were being
questioned in the hope that some
evidence might be found that a
stranger visited the Groth farm
house Saturday afternoon when the
child was shot.
Although Esther lived for several
hours, her only words before her
death were given in answer to her
parents and physicians, who asked
repeatedly who had shot her.
Il don't know-O, I don't know,
the dying child replied.
Physicians said she could not have
shot herself. The shooting occurred
early in the afternoon. The father
and mother had driven to town, a
mile and half, to do the weekend
shopping, leaving Esther on the
farm with her brother Clarence, Is,
and her sister Villa, 16, and several
smaller children.
Clarence told police he was in the
barn hitching up team of horses
when he heard a shot.
II ran into the house." he said.
Just as I entered the kitchen,
Esther came. running out of the
bedroom. She came up to me and
dropped on the floor. She got up
again and staggered over toward
the stairs door and there she fell
again."

have had single thought in COM
mon-now we sit with goose be-
tween us and feel in unison, and
are so intimate that we do not even
speak.
1t takes a long time to roast a
goose even when it is young and fat.
so we take turns. One bastes it
while the other lies down and
sleeps. A grand smell gradually fills
the hut.
The noises without increase In
volume, pass into my dream and yet
linger in my memory. In a half
sleep, watch Kat dip and raise the
Iadle.
I love him, his shoulders, his
angular, STOPPING figure and at
the same time I see behind him
woods and stars, and a clear voice
utter words that bring me peace,
to me, a soldier in big boots, belt
and knapsack, taking the road that
lies before him under the high
heaven, quickly forgetting and sell
dom sorrowful, for ever pressing on
under the wide night sky.
A little soldier and a clear voice,
and if anyone were to caress him
he would hardly understand, this
soldier with the big boots and shut
heart, who marches because he is
wearing big boots, and has forgot
ten all else but marching.
Beyond the skyline is a country
with flowers, lying so still that he
would like to weep. There are sights
there that he has not forgotten,
because he never possessed them
perplexing, yet lost to him. Are not
his twenty summer there?
Is my face wet, and where am +?
Kat stands before me, his gigantic,
STOPPING shadow falls upon me like
home. He speaks gently, he smiles
and goes back to the fire.
Then he says: cts done"

I stir myself. In the middle of
the room shines the brown goose.
We take out our collapsible forks
and our pocket-knives and each cuts
off a leg. With it we have army
bread dipped in gravy. We eat
slowly and with gusto.
"How does it taste, Kat?"
GOOD! And yours?"
GOOD, Kat"
We are brothers and press on one
another the choicest pieces. After
wards I smoke a cigaret and Kat
cigar. There is still a lot left.
Chow would it be, Kat, if we took
a bit to Kropp and Tjaden?"
Sure" says he.
We carve off a portion and wrap
it up carefully in newspaper. The
rest we thought of taking over to
the hut. Kat laughs, and simply
says: ''Tjaden."
I agree, we will have to take it
all.
So we go off to the fowl-house
to wake them. But first we pack
away the feathers.
Kropp and Tjaden take up for
magicians. Then they get BUSY
with their teeth. Tjaden holds a
wing~in his mouth with both hands
like mouth-organ, and gnawS. He
drinks the gravy from the pot and

FIRE BOARD MAKES
new SAFETY MOVE
Would Synchroni,e Amber Traf-
6c Lights and Alarm System

A system whereby the amber-col-
ored traffic lights would fash stimuli
taneously with the sounding Of the
fire siren was proposed at meet
ing Of the board Of fire commission
ers last night by Commissioner Har-
ry Beckwith and the matter will be
studied and discussed with the po-
lice department within the near fu-
ture.
Commissioner Beckwith pointed to
the fact that the system Is in vogue
in large cities and that 1t would add
greatly to efficiency at time OF fire.
His fellow commissioners agreed
with him that the plan would be a
good one and 1t was the general Inn
preston that the cost Of the ar
rangement would not be prohibitive.
The matter will e.taken up with
the police department.
Objects to FIRE Siren
Mr. Beckwith later in the meet
ing objected to the siren because OF
its weird sound. He said there is an
arrangement Of bells at the center
which warns policemen that a clear
road through traffic Is desired. 9th
err commissioners pointed out the
fact that these bells are of no value
to outlying streets where the siren
Is heard.
Members Of the board had final
discussion on the budget and it was
voted to authorize the budget COM
mittee to include the salary sched-
ule and forward the completed
budget to the printers. The budget
will be presented to the board OF
finance and taxation at a February
meeting. 1t embraces expenditures
Of $s3.572.25.
Practically the only matter in the
budget discussed was proposal to
recommend the purchase of an au-
tomobile for Chief w. ]. Noble at 4
cost Of approximately $500. The
automobile now in use would
be used by the assistant chiefs while
they are on duty during the day and
the master mechanic and his assis-
tant while they are on7duty at night.
Only those who are on duty would
be allowed to use the car.
It was proposed that pensions be
paid semimonthly instead OF
