 As the pair of slicinG golfers ap- preached the caddies several yards of the fairway, the gentleman, whose guest the ambassador was heard his caddy shout:

BY BEN STERN

MO sooner had Senator Handout
IN settled himself in the softest
seat in his favorite hotel lobby this
morning than he saw his beloved
friend and collaboration in many a
milking bill, Representative Bar
ter, enter the dining room.
With speed not compatible with
his weight, Senator Handout was
across the lobby in a leap. Both
statesmen were overjoyed at the
reunion. AS they solemnly shook
hands, visions of past joint lucra-
tive performances raced through
their minds.
Representative Barter explained
to his friend that he was visiting the
capital in pursuit of temporary
parole for one of his clients, now
serving a long sentence in prison.
Looks as if my trip is going to
be for nothing, as the Governor is
out of town again, and this is the
fourth trip I have made walled the
distinguished member of the lower
house.
why you don't have to come
down here to get the parole. Just
see the warden of the prison he'll
take care of it." the senator pointed
out.
We'll, it is getting so that even
we men who serve the public can't
get to see the Governor" complained
the representative.
First time I came here on the
case he was at a football game in
Chicago. The next time he was on
a yacht of the coast of Florida with
the head Of a utility and the third
time he was at the state-owned cot
tage at the Dunes, and now he is in
Canada.
For the amount of time he puts
in his Office, you would think he
was elected to a part-time job"
The senator nodded agreement
and said:
Every one is crying about tax re-
lief. We certainly could save money
by putting the Governor on a per
diem. As it is, he is just our s1S, 900
q year playboy."

Hiner Ready to Transport
Unemployed Men.

Offer of transportation to unen-
ployed men to take them to jobs
created by the unemployment COM
mission of the federal government
was made today by Ward B. Hiner,
truck line operator. in a letter to
President Herbert Hoover.
Hiner forwarded the President a
list of offices of the company of
which he is a director, located
throughout the country, and pointed
out that the concern operates hun
dreds of trucks between all of these
large cities.
knowing that the government,
in solving the great unemployment
problem, will have to transfer men
to points where they can give them
work." Hiner wrote, "to help relieve
the government of this expense, I
am offering free transportation to
these men,"
He proposed that representatives
of the unemployment bureau write
orders to be presented at branch
Offices of the trucking concern, so
that the job-bound man may ride
with the truckman to the city to
which he may be going.
One to three passengers may be
carried in each truck. Hiner said.

CITY COUNCIL
WILL. DEBATE
CUT OF LEVY
Civic Interests to Urge
Budget Pairing at Ses-
sion Tonight.

City councilmen tonight were to
begin a week of intensive study of
the 1892 city budget in an effort to
reduce the proposed $1.08 tax levy
several cents.
Suggestions have been made by
councilmen, Chamber of Commerce
and Indiana Taxpayers Association
officials which, if all adopted, would
lower the proposed levy more than
10 cents.
The study will include argument
of Albert F. Walsman, of the tax
payers association, that by correct
ing alleged errors in computation of
the levy, it can be pared $.0545
without affecting the budget.
Oppose Salary Cuts
Cuts in various budget items
totaling about 100000, together
with elimination of the thorough
fare and street repair fund items,
proposed by William H. Book,
Chamber of Commerce civic affairs
director, would lower the levy an
other 215 cents, if adopted.
Anther cut of nearly 215 cents
would be effected by pairing salaries
of the 1000 city employees, using a
graduated scale whereby the high
est paid employees would receive the
greatest cuts. This was discussed
by councilmen at the first budget
meeting.
Most councilmen are opposed to
salary cuts, if substantial reduc-
tions can be made elsewhere in the
budget.
Final Action in Week
Board of Trade representatives
may be heard at the budget COM
mittee meeting tonight. Stand ad-
vocating salary cuts recently was
taken by the Board of Trade.
The $108 proposed levy is re-
duction of only l cent over this
years levy, but the budget shows a
$545,000 drop over this years bud
get, due to decreased revenue from
by products and fees, together with
expected decrease in tn city valua-
ton, increased tax delinquency and
the fact that several city depart
ments cut their levies for this year
by using up large balances, which
they will not have next year.
Effort will be made by council
men to complete the budget by
Wednesday night ready for public
hearing and final action next Mon
day night.
