tioning.

DETROIT, Sept. ga big city,
hopeful of doing something to re-
lieye the enforced idleness of its
thousands, today checked over the
names of its unemployed, and
looked about to Sc what could be
done for them.
Registration of unemployed was one
of the first acts of the administra-
ton of Detroit's new mayor, Frank
Murphy.
Thursday afternoon and evening
those out of work were registered.
The number who signed cards was
19,407, of these, 3,007 said immediate
employment was imperative.
Registration was made at two
score places in the city. To those
in charge men and women, begging
for chance to earn living, told
their names, their previous occupa-
tons, their trades and abilities.
The registration booths were to
have opened at 4 p. m, but long be-
fore that hour lines at the appoint
ed places had grown so long that
the work was started earlier.
At city hall more than 1000 we're
in line early in the afternoon.
In sections tenanted by the poor
and the unskilled laborers, thou
sands stood in line.
There were no disorders or dem
onstrations. The men stood quietly.
There we're men who had held

Governor Leslie and State
Highway Body Bear
Brunt of Attack.
BY BEN STERN

Battle plans of both parties fol
the 1890 campaign have at last beer
framed and call for the stronges
offensive on the legislative front.
At a meeting resounding will
cries for tax reductions, investiga
ton of administrator scandals ant
assaults on the statement made b.
Governor Harry G. Leslie that III
would approve none but a Repub
lican gerrynnander bill on con
gressional reapportionment, Dem
ocratic legislative candidates Thurs
day prepared to wrest the house
majority from their opponents.
At the same time R. Earl Peters
state chairman, declared that the
state committee would soon be able
to provide candidates with materia
and statistics compiled by in
vestigators and accountants which
would show how the Republican adj
ministration has carelessly spent the
millions raised through taxation.
Leslie Called Extravagant
He cited extravaganza of Gov
ernor Leslie, the highway commits
sion: gas tax collection evasions,
deficiencies in the accounts of the
oil inspection department and al
legged violations of the "blue sky
law.
A plea that legislative candidates
adopt a resolution declaring that II
they have control of the house they
will pass the lowest appropriation
measure in a decade, was made by
Earl Crawford of Milton, farmer
and banker, former member of the
state highway commission and can
didate for state representative
from Wayne and Union counties.
Candidates rebuffed Crawford's
demand, with the statement that
the matter will be considered after
the election.
Preparation of q new tax bill by
the administration tax commits
sion, which would recommend the
adoption of an income tax and re-
form of the entire system of tax
alton so as to lift the burder from
real and personal property, was re-
ported by George Saunders, a
commission member and Bluffton
publisher, Democratic floor leader in
1929 and candidate for reelection
as representative.
Democratic Trend Reported
Martin Kruger. former mayor
of Michigan City and candidate
for representative, and State Sen
ator Thurman Gottchalk of Berne,
member of the state budget COM
mittee, Joined with other candidates
in plea that the state committee
concentrate it's heaviest fire in the
doubtful districts, and Peters de-
clared that polls taken heretofore
of overwhelmingly Republican pre-
Cincts reveal a strong Democratic
majority.
The chairman promised to send
speakers and literature into doubt
full sections.
Walter Myers. Marion county
candidate for representative and
outstanding contender for speaker,
took Leslie to task for his state
ment made at the meeting of Re
publican candidates and state COM
mitteemen Tuesday that he would
approve only a Republican gerry
mander.
Richard Werneke, prominent Vi
go county Democratic leader, and
William Storen, candidate for state
treasurer, took Leslie to task for his
expenditures from the emergency
fund upon the mansion and general
Republican extravaganza.
