Dunn and Commissioners
Pare $4,000 From
Sunnyside Budget.

Decrease of 1 to 2 cents in the
1881 county tax rate seemed assured
today with an announcement by
commissioners and Harry Dunn,
county auditor, that the tuberculo-
sis levy was fixed at 215 cents and
the free gravel road levy fixed ten
tatively at 2 cents.
Following conference today with
the board of managers of the Mar
ion county tuberculosis hospital at
Sunnyside, Dunn said the tubercu-
losis tax will be az cents, the same
figure as for this year About $lO,-
900 was pared from the Sunnyside
budget in order to avoid a rate in
crease, Dunn said.
With. the two smaller taxing units
virtually settled, commissioners and
Dunn this afternoon were to plunge
into the task of fixing the general
fund and sinking fund levies, major
components Of the county tax levy.
Hopes of pairing at least l cent off
the general fund figure OF 20 cents
assessed this year, were expressed by
Dunn and the commissioners. The
sinking fund levy probably will re-
main at the 13-cent figure fixed
for $780,
Commissioners cut 1$-cent from
the gravel road tax in view OF in
creased gasoline tax revenue.
The Sunnyside budget, under re-
visions made today, will provide an
approximate revenue of $4,000,
Funds carried over from this year
will swell the institutions main
tenance accounts to about $4,000,
Dunn said.
Under present arrangements, Of
ficials said, the county rate may be
fixed at IL cents under this years
38-cent rate.

UNIVERSAL AIR
CODE NEEDED,
LEADERS TOLD
Lindbergh Hears important
Address at institute of
Politics.

BIZ ScriDps-Hoicard NeUspGDer Alliance
WILLIANlSTOWN. Mass, Aug
12.-Colonel Charles A. Lindbergf
dropped in on this charming little
college community among the
Berkshires today, flying from
Maine, to add his prestige to the ef-
fort of those who are trying tc
bring order out of chaos in interna-
tional aerial navigation.
Lindbergh came at the sugges-
ton OF Edward P. Warner, former
assistant secretary of the navy for
aeronautics, and a member Of the
national advisory committee.
Warner is conducting a round
table on political aspects Of aeria,
navigation at the Institute of Poll
tics here, and it was to sit in at g
general conference that Lindbergt
came.
Air Policy Major Concern
Within the last four years, War
ner told the members of the insti-
tute as the famous flier listened
air policy has become major con-
Germ Of all the countries Of the
world.
"It takes rank" he said, "along
with taxation, unemployment relief
and the merchant marine as a
matter of interest to government
and legislatures"
Commercial flying, Warner de-
clared, already has become interna.
tional except in Russia and the
United States, and ncN even those
countries arc beginning to branch
out.
Universal Agreement Urged
There are parts of the world
Warner explained, where severa
different air codes already are ir
use, side by side, as for example ir
the Caribbean area and parts Of
Latin America where Americans
French and German lines are il
operation.
AS matters now stand, each con.
Germ observes the rules which are Ii
force in its own country. What il
needed is a single international code
GAS soon as a universal agreement
is reached by the majority of ma
TONS" Warner concluded, "substan.
tial progress will have been made
toward the realization of interna.
tional air commerce." something, HI
said, which "can not fail to ushel
in a new era of peace and pros,
perity."

STATE DROUGHT
AID PLAN SENT
ON TO FARLEY
Leslie to Present Proposal
Seeking Coordination
of All Agencies.

Plans for coordination of all
agencies connected with drought re-
lief work under one head, and to
extend long term loans to farmers
ruined by the record breaking heat
wave are contained in information
to be received by Governor Harry G..
Leslie upon his arrival in Washing
ton, Wednesday.
Information concerning Indiana
conditions compiled by his secretary,
L. o. Chasey, will enable Leslie to
discuss the situation at the confer
ence in the White House Thursday
morning, called by President Hoo
yer.
1t provides that relief activities Of
the Indiana Farm Bureau Fedora
ton, board of agriculture, Purdue
extension division and railroads be
supervised by one person.
Confer With McCardle :.
While the Governor is in Wash
ington, freight agents of all rail-
roads operating in Indiana will
confer with John McCardle, chair
man of the public service commits
sion regarding reduction of intra-
state rates on grains and other
grown foodstuffs.
Many farmers have borrowed to
their full capacity on short-term
notes and will be unable to obtain
sufficient money to tide them over
during the depression, Chasey
pointed out.
ut would be an excellent relief
measure if long term loans OF from
three to five years we're made by
banks so that the short term notes
could be paid and a working capital
be obtained by the farmers"
Not Acquainted With Needs
Leslie has been on a vacation dur
ing the drought period and is not
acquainted with the dire need for
relief, it was pointed out.
Meanwhile the state highway
commission is endeavoring to aid
many of the farmers financially.
John j. Brown, Rockport, direc-
tor of the commission, who for the
last few weeks has declared daily
that he can do nothing to relieve
low wage conditions among road
workers, had seized the drought sit
uation as an opportunity to ask the
federal government for an advance
on the 1881 allotment of federal
road funds.
Construction in southern Indiana
thus may be pushed. he explains
giving employment to persons who
have suffered financially by the
drought and crop failures

Federation officials to aid farmers in

Of seed corn and to give bushel
of the product to county farm
bureaus for distribution to farmers
in the stricken southern districts. 8

Seek Home Rule

tunity shall seek such amend ment of the Organic Act as will rot only give us as much home rule as was invariably granted other Territories but which will enable us to gradually assume more and more of the functions of government until full State hood is attained.
 ''I propose to cooperate with the Bureau of Fisheries in se curing the best possible fishing regulations, and intend to do all in my power to secure such le-. gislation as will leave the fisher ies of Alaska open only to bona fde residents of the Territor,, wherever that is practical and where, by such policy, the settle ment of the Territory can b. materially stimulated.
 "I shall also recommend that the residents along the Yukol. River be authorized to engage in such limited commercial fish, ing in the river as will not ap- preciably interfer' with ij;c pro- pagation of salmon.
 T commend the Bureau of Forestry for it's determination to have the timb': within it's keeping manufactured into ar tjcles of commerce within the Territory instead of shipped to foreign countries in the raw state to be there prepared for the market by foreign labor.
 Title to Lands
 "All who have made substan- tial improvement on land for residence purposes should be given deed to whatever they improve, occupy and use. The quasi communistic system at present practiced by the Gov- ernment is bad in principle and should be abandoned.
 Farming is an inevitable pre- requisite to the stability of the population and permanence of
