world on the far outskirts of the of mathematics and astronomy. Through their aid a man pierced the heavens to predict the presence of the planet long before it was viewed l by the lenses of telescopes. Curious irregularities of movement in the orbits ot Saturn, Uranus and Neptune started a search years ago for a new heavenly body. Professor Harlow Shapley, director of the Harvard Observatory. said yesterday. Attractions of the known planets for each other would give no explana- tion.
 One of the leaders in the search was the late Professor Percival Lowell, brother of President A. Lawrence Low ell Of Harvard univer- sity. In the nineteenth century the planet Neptune had been found by such q means and Professor Lowell, q year before his death in 1915, published a "mcmoir on trans-N Ncp- tunian planet"
 Sets Forth Conclusions
 The memoir, the result of four years study. set forth by cla aboratc mathematical calculations a predic- ton of q new planet which would explain the abcrrations, or residual motion" in the paths of Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. He predicted it's direction, magnitude and disk.
 With Professor LoWells death. the study of the skies for the un- known body was carried on at Flag staff by pr. V. NJ. Slphcr and his associates. It was first seen on a photographic plate on January 2S and after being located WAS observed visually for three weeks.
 Professor Shaplcy said that a 1%- inch triplct telescope. designed by the late Rev. Joel Metcalf, a mi tarian minister formerly of Water town Mass, and Portland, Me, and later acquired by the Flagstaff Ob- soryatory, undoubtedly helped in finding the planet.
 The newly found body is the third planet of tn" solar system to be discovered within historic times. IL is estimated to be i,1S5,o00,o0o miles from the Sun.

mites in upper Pennsylvania, where
dwell the descendants of William
Penn, alongside Germans, Quakers

Gil ma jority, and it liked it SO much
that it just has filled up the coun-
Gil with two more Socialist mem
bers and elected two Socialists to
seats in the Pennsylvania legisla-
turc.
Readings political transformation
dates back to 1910 when a group of
cigarmakers, ironworkers and other
workingmen began a campaign for
lower taxes. Among this group were
Harry Stump, cigar worker; George
Snyder, a piano tuner, and Jim
MaureT, middle-aged plumber.
Stump and his followers pamph-
leteered and argued on street cor
ners. They organized a Socialist 10
cal and bought a hall for meetings.
The result WIS that Maurer was
sent to Harrisburg as legislator.
Sought Labor Reforms
There he led a. movement for the
states first workmen's compensation

Reading had adopted the COM

Maurer and his fellows decided to
concentrate on city politics. The
morning after election day in 1927
the Reading folks awoke to find
they had turned their city over to
three Socialists. Stump, Maurer
and Snyder had been elected and,
forming a majority, they named
Stump mayor.
The Stump majority hired an able
expert to reappraise the city's prop

The people had voted $750,000
for a new city hall. In the middle
of the city, however, stood a big
high school about to be torn down.
The Stump council got to work to
remodel the high school into a city

State Survey Group Maps
Income and Sales Fee
Law Proposal.

Enactment Of both income and
sales tax laws to lift the entire bur-
den Of state taxation from real es-
tate will be recommended by the
Indiana tax survey commission.
Governor Harry @. Leslie has been
Informed.
FORMAL announcement of the rec
concentrations is to be made early
next month.
State Senator Joe Rand Beckett
fRep, Indianapolis) who with State
Senator J. Clyde Hoffman, (Rep..
Indianapolis) chairman Of the com
mission, were pioneers in the sur
Vey work. conferred with the Gov
ernor last week in regard to put
ting the finishing touches on the
report.
Present state tax levy is % cents
on each 500 worth of taxable prop
erty, which raises approximately
Sl4,500,000. It is estimated that
each cent brings in S50O,0O0
Two Plans Proposed
No high rate on incomes or sales
would be required to raise this sum
and wipe out the state levy, but
another commission may ask that
the state levy be increased 40 cents
or more, which would present q
vastly different problem.
This is the state aid school COM
mission which is considering two
plans, one of which would have the
state raise all minimum school taxes
1or distribution to the local units.
Called the Jones plan, it is based
on the theory that with minimum
school expenditures being state
financed, corresponding reductions
III local leyies would result.
The WINNER plan, also being con-
sidered, would require local units to
make a $3.50 school levy before
coming under the present state aid.
Reductions Pointed Out
Should the state be required to
raise what would amount to a 60
cent minimum levy (as required by
a Accent school rate), it would
mean $30,OOOO 900 would have to be
collected through income and sales
taxes. The consequence would be a
considerably greater sales and in
come tax rate than if the present
state revenues are retained.
Proponents of the Jones plan
point out that this would mean
drastic reductions in the property
levies, however, which admittedly
are overburdened now.
Recently Governor Leslie pointed
out differences between public and
private business methods which may
be raised in the discussion of these |
tax problems in the legislature.
More Taxes to Be Paid
When private industry sets lid
new machinery, the old machinery |
and tools are discarded" Leslie |
said. But in government, when |
new machinery is set up, the old is
also retained"
Applying this to the proposed tax
set-up Of the state taking over the |
school levieS it merely would mean
additional expenditures by the local
units, with more taxes to be paid /
by the citizenry. Success of the plan
lies in actually cutting out local |
levies, rather than merely duplicat-
ing them. it has been pointed out.
