Let Indiana turn to Moses, "the
most constructive governmental ge-
MUS in all history" for solution OF
current tax problems.
This was the advice given the In
diana tax survey committee today
at public hearing in the senate
chamber of the statehouse by State
Senator AlonZo H. Lindley (Rep0,
Kingman.
The particular portion of Moses
taxation program, as set forth in
the Bible, which Lindley would ap-
ply to HooSierdom today is to 'levy
a 1.-THE on property"
Lindley described this levy, as laid
down by Moses, to be one-tenth of
the annual increase in the flocks.
Its modern application was made
by Circuit Judge o. B. Radcliffe,
Covington, who accompanied Lind
ley to the hearing. The 1.-THE levy
under his Interpretation, would be
limit of l per cent on property
taxation to be fixed by statute, with
possibility of a 2 per cent levy in
times of emergency.
He based this on the idea that
the average income from property
is 10 per cent and the "tithe" then
would be one-tenth, as ordered by
Moses.

Election commissioners were paid

$10,153.57 spent for canyassing board
services.
Terrific expense of advertising
polling places and candidates, in
addition to printing the long, COM
plicated Australian ballots made up
the remainder of the cost. Due to
the use of the paper ballots, $3.50
was spent inobtaining additional
booths for polling places.
Majority of county officials favor
repeal of the primary law. The ex-
pense, the long and confusing lists
of candidates and the long Sieze be-
fore an accurate count of the votes
is tabulated, are the chief points in
their opposition to the primary.
Candidates spent thousands of
dollars in conducting their cam
paigns.
This year, as in many others, the
primary pail hangs over the coun-
ty for months, due to demands for
recount and the grand jury in
vestigation into alleged corruption.
If money is spent for a special
deputy prosecutor to conduct this
probe, it will come out of the tax
payers pockets. The grand jurors
continue to get paid for their quiz
services while regular work accu-
mulates.

FERNANDO, Noronha Island, May
22.-The dirigible Graf Zeppelin was
sighted at 1928 p. m. (9;28 a. m,
central standard time), coming from
the north as she approached Brazil
at the end of a flight of 1850 miles
from Seville.
The dirigible first was seen far
out from the island.
DR.. Hugo Eckener was scheduled
to proceed directly to the Brazilian
coast, which is less than $50 miles
from these islands. The nearest
coastal point is Natal, with Pernam-
buco, where the dirigible will halt
overnight, some 300 miles from Fer
nando Noronha.
Honor King Neptune
When the Graf Zeppelin crossed
the equator the traditional cere-
monies of King Neptune's court were
carried out for the first time on an
airship. An officers of the dirigible
acted as King Neptune and "bap-
tized" the passengers who had never
crossed the equator before. DR..
Hugo Eckener also was an initiate.
A message from the dirigible, in
tercepted here, said:
eve arriving Recife (Pernambuco)
today, refueling there and continu-
ing to Rio de Janeiro. Will re-
turn following day to Recife and
leave for United States Sunday or
Monday.
Merriment Is Great
Regular Neptune ceremonies car
ried out over equator. Officer Fa-
tiliefer acting as King Neptune
baptized nearly all passengers and
DR.. Eckener amid great merriment."
The commander of the Graf Yep
pelin sent a radio message to his
engineer, Ernst Besch, who has been
preparing for the arrival of the
ship, which said:
"Have all prepared for landing
at 6 p. m. Get ready to refuel.
Need 5000 cubic meters each kind
of gas"
The German colony radioed a
greeting to DR.. Eckener. The col
ony will offer him gold medal

Feared in Quarrel Over
Vote Probe.
TWO DEPUTIES POSTED
Judge Collins Marks Time
on Appointment of New
Quiz Head.

Bent on foreStalling fiStic en-
counters between Prosecutor Judson
L. Stark and Charles G.. Fitch, grand
jury foreman, in quarrel over the
current probe into alleged primary
election fraud, members of the
county grand jury sought guardian
ship of deputy Sheriffs both inside
and outside the grand jury cham
berS, it was learned today.
Information from authoritative
sources revealed that Deputy Sher-
ifs Ollie Mays and Fred Fox stood
guard in the grand jury room pre-
pared to halt threatened outbreak
of fisticuffs between Stark and
Fitch
eThe grand jury's request for the
removal of Stark as director of the
probe resulted.
Sensational angles of the investi-
cation were cut short today as the
jury paused in the probe awaiting
action by Criminal Judge James A.
Collins on the petition for new
grand jury guidance.
Depends on Call"
Reports have it that Collins has
picked his man. Collins said an
nouncement of the choice depends
on long-distance telephone call"
That the long enmity between
Stark and Collins is at end probably
temporarily was evident today when
Collins and Stark went into private
conference, emerging almost an
hour later on best of terms to an
nourice that nothing will be said at
this time
Stark carefully guards the spread
of any inference that he resents the
grand jury'S statement that he is
embarrassed as probe leader" be-
cause he is successful candidate
for denomination.
No Witnesses Quizzed
He did not enter the grand jury
chambers today, and six witnesses
who were called were not inter-
viewed, the jury taking up routine
matters.
Reports from the jury chambers
have it that at least four members
of the grand jury seriously consid-
cred custer of Fitch because of his
alleged violation of election laws in
serving as a poll inspector.
This topic was discussed by the
jurors as today's session opened.
They declined to state their attitude
on the matter, although, it is known,
one juror insists upon the foreman's
discharge.
Fitch declared he did not violate
primary election laws Intentionally.
