BILL TO PATCH
STATE AID LAW
BEING DRAFTED
School Financing Scheme Is
Not to Sc Presented
to Legislature.

Although they now are in pos
session of a definite plan for put
ting Indiana common schools on a
basis of state financing, the state
aid commission probably will do no
more than recommend to the legls-
lature the patching up" Of the old
state aid law, it IA learned today.
A bill along this line already is
being drafted by DR.. Charles Ket-
tleborough, director Of the legisla-
tive reference bureau, upon request
of Representative George w. Free
man (Rep.. Kokomo), member OF
the state aid commission.
Roy P. Wisehart, superintendent
of public instruction and member OF
the commission, thus far has failed
to commit himself on the state
financing plan. He is up for re-
election this fall and George Cole
his Democratic opponent, also is a
member of the commission.
A general meeting was held
Wednesday at the Columbia Club
where the final draft of the state
financing plan was presented by a
subcommittee Of which State
Senator Alonzo H. Lindley Rep.).
Kingman, was in charge.
1t was based upon researches
made by j.. w. Jones of Indiana
State Teachers college.
The plan calls for creation of q
state aid review board composed OF
the superintendent of public in
struction, chairman of the state tax
board and the chief examiner of the
state board of accounts. This board
would handle an equalization fund
to finance teaching units of all COM
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1930-07-10

non schools Of the state. The teach
ing unit base would be $500 for
primary and $1,000 for secondary
teachers.
About SCI, coo, 900 would have to
be expended by the state and it was
recommended that the money be OBJ
tanned from other than a general
property tax.
Under the scheme, saving in local
school levies should more than make
I'D the difference, it is estimated.
The review board also would pass
on transportation budgets, so per
cent of which would be state
financed. Transportation is charged
with being one of the large revenue
leaks under the present state aid
plan.
Freeman's bill will be based on
the so-called WINNER plan"
whereby the local levy will be in
creased from the present $l.2O to
$3.50 before state aid is given.
Safeguards, including checking by
the state board of accounts, will be
thrown around the state aid funds
The result will be a new edition OF
the old law which has put the state
some So, O00, 600 in the hole and func-
toned SO imperfectly that teachers
in southern Indiana remain unpaid
and some districts are without COM
mon schools.
Jones, who also is a member o.
the commission, is touring south

ester Ralph Wilcox.

CHICAGO, July 10.-Alfred CJake)
Lingle. murdered Chicago Tribune
police reporter. is said to have been
known among gangsters as the IN
official police chief of Chicago. The
chief himself. William F. Russell,
often was referred to as a Lingle
sppointee.
This sinister side Of Lingle's
career came to light shortly after
be was murdered while en- route to
the races at Washington park, June
u. It Is recalled here because Of
its bearing on what happened to
the police department after the re-
porter's death.
More than a hundred gang kill
ings had occurred in Chicago in the
year before Lingle was put "on the
spot" by his gangster enemies. But
no pervious murder established what
appeared to be such an obvious link
between the law and the outlaw.
Friend Of Chief
Lingle was a close friend of the
police chief; likewise of Al Ca
pone. the gang lord. Here the I'M
derworld's tenacles seemed to be
reaching Ear up into an important
branch Of officialdom. The situa-
ton was a challenge to the press.
When Lingle was killed. the Chi
cagO Daily News. under the man.
agement of Walter S. Strong. was
warning on the police department.
The paper charged Commissioner
Russell and his detective chief, John
Siege, with removing two detectives
from downtown beats for arresting
and disarming too many Capone
gangsters.
Now the Daily News was joined
in the crusade by its competitors.
Within tw~enty-four hours after the
Lingle murC n, all of the city's
newspaper publishers met. resolved
n mite in the war on crime and
published the resolution on their
front pages.
Almost automatically Russells po-
lice administration was doomed. The
scandal Of Lingle's gang connections
was bound to become public. AS
Lingle's best friend. Russell saw no
escape from becoming involved in
popular suspicion.
Only Course Open
So Russell took what seemed to
be the only open course He de-

and then announced his own re-
tirement. Russell admitted 70
guilt. He blamed his troubles on
"snoOping reformers" and the i'm
poSsiL e prohibition law"
With Russell's passing came one
of the biggest "shakeups" the po-
lice department had experienced in
many years. John Iron Nam
Alcock took the position of high
command as acting commissioner.
In one order he removed 700 plain
clothes men from the detective
bureau staff, took them out Of their
yellow squad cars, dressed them in
uniforms and sent them out to
walk beats.

that the most successful deterrent
We have against automobile reck-

license is revoked he may appeal.

An automobile is potentially
deadly vehicle. To allow it to be
operated by person who has not
proven his ability and competence
is ineXcusable. And the trend in
motor laws at present, in all states,
is toward severe examination OF
persons applying for licenses.
So far, II states have passed such
laws. Appreciable success has re-
