$500 is LOOT
IN BANK HOLDUP
Bandits Keep Three at Bay
in Carthage.
BIZ United Press

By United Press
CARTHAGE, Ind, Oct. 1.-Two
young bandits, shabbily attired, stood
in the lobby of the Carthage State
bank shortly before noon today and
held three persons at bay while they
gathered up $4,000 before escaping
in an auto.
The two men entered the bank
while Howard E. Henley, cashier,
and Mabel Phelps, assistant cashier,
were waiting upon DR.. William S..
Coleman, a customer.
The three were commanded,
stick 'em up" by the robbers, who
made no attempt to go farther than
the bank lobby.
With guns covering the bank
workers and the customers, the as
sistant cashier was ordered to hand
out the banks money. She then
was told to open the vault, which
held more money.
Henley said the bandits were in
the bank from five to eight min
utes before running outside to their
waiting auto. They were reported
as driving south from Carthage, APP
parently in the direction OF Airing
ton or Morristown.

GRANGE VOTES
AGAINST BEER
Brew Return Detriment to
Farmer, Is Conclusion.

BIZ United Press
WASHINGTON, Oct. 1.-The Ma
tional Grange, one of the country's
leading farm organizations, placed
itself on record today as vigorously
opposed to legalization of beer.
Through its executive committee
the Grange denounced as unsound
the. argument of modificationists
that farmers would be aided through
consumption of grain by legalized
brewers.
The committee said it had made
several studies of the economic eff
feet of prohibition on farming and
''the facts disclosed by these stud
les show concluSively that resump-
ton of the brewing industry in the
United States would be detrimental
to the interests of agriculture.
A similar survey is being made
by Secretry of Agriculture Hyde. 1t
is understood Hyde'S study will in
volve not only the economic effect
legalized beer would have on agri-
culture, but also it's general effect
on unemployment and government
revenues.
In support of its contention, the
Grange offered data showing 30
per cent increase in consumption of
dairy products since national pro-
hibition became effective.
The grain required to produce
this increased output is more than
three times the amount used by
brewers m 1917, it is said.

hour after the rush seat section
opened at 8 a. m. The right field
pavilion, with its SO rush seats, was
sold out at noon, while $500 other
fans took all the standing room in
the grand stand.
This series offers a stunning con-
trast. On the one side there is a
tall, fatherly, soft-spoken man who
is finishing his forty-seventh year
in baseball He is Connie Mack.
Opposed to him is World war SER
geant, a hero of the Argonne, a
garrulous, Scrappy pilot-Gabby
Street.
On the one side there Is a ball
club which thinks it's going to win
in four or five of the possible seven
games. It's rivals are fighting mad.
Last year we talked a grand
world series. This time we'll play
one" This from Gabby Street.
Mack said the things he was ex-
pected to say. Anything can hap
pen in short series hoping
Tor the best every expectation
of winning"
Cards Hitting Is Better
Many of the st. Louis hopes of
victory are pinned on the offensive
possibilities of the Cards. Last
years Cardinal hitting was def
nitely second grade. Notably. Jim
Bottomley, first baseman, who had
been dependable slugger through
out the season, made but one hit
in the entire series.
Many of his failures to hit came
in the pinches. Bottomley won sec
ond honors in National League bat
ting this year and Cards enthusi-
astS look to Sunny jim to redeem
himself in the series.
Chick Hafey is batting champion
Of the National League, and he'll
be the marked batsman of the Car
dinal side. Mack has a sIugger or
two, also. For one, there's AL Sim
mons, leader of the American
League batters. Another is Mickey
Cochrane, popular catcher. who won
fourth honors in the seasons race.
Defensively, there can not be
much to choose. Each club has a
clever infleld and a dependable out
field.
Thus the contest, played on pa
per, boils down to battle of the
potentially superior Athletics pitch
ing and the batting of the Cards.

Utilities Hold
Life of City in
Greedy Hands

Last year Harley Clarke's
holding company took $780,
900 in dividends on a
supposed investment of
$1,O6O,OO0.
In other ways, and by
hidden methods, that hold
ing company took probably
four times this amount.
Last year Clarence Geist
took out $1,224,OOO in divi-
dends on his water company.
The stock he owns is listed
at five millions.
These concerns have the
real taxing power over the
people. They have the power
of life and death, of COM
fort or distress, of health or
disease.
The minute the citizen is
unable to pay the lights are
shut off and the faucets are
closed.
They are enabled to get
these rates because a gener-
Gus public service commits
sion fixed rates on a basis OF
what it would cost to repro
duce their plants at war
time labor prices for labor
and materials.
There is no pretense that
they invested any such val
uation in labor or materials.
They collected on the vic
tories of the boys in France,
capitalized the war for their
own benefit, and keep on
capitalizing it in days of
depression.
If the reproduction basis
was fair in days of initiation,
it should be fair in days of
deflation.
The dividends of these,
two concerns, dealing under
a monopoly with necessities
of life, are extortionate and
immoral.
An indignant citizenship
can and will compel justice.

Mayor, Says Plain Citizen
Will Gain Nothing
From Move.

Mayor Reginald H. Sullivan
paraded an emphatic array of facts
before members of the state tax
board Wednesday afternoon, to
demonstrate that the or Accent
budget cut move is only in the in
terest of utilities and other large
property owners, with the common
citizen left out in the cold.
He drove home the idea that only
by income and luxury tax laws can
the real estate burden, now called
almost conf1scatory, be lifted. He
offered to join in bipartisan,
patriotic movement to have Spe-
cial session of the legislature to en-
act such laws.
Points made by the mayor follow
l. Unless real estate is relieved of
at least so per cent of its present
tax burden, the small holder is
faced with confscation.
2. This can be done by agreement
of both parties on tax bin to be
passed at one-day session called

g. Among other causes of high
rates are the small assessments
filed by men of great wealth.
4. That the men who made the
city budget with a $1.08 rate are
paying much more than many of
the protestants who toc,- appeal to
the tax board, if the vested inter-
est represented is not counted.
5. That the presence of water and
light company representatives on
the budget cutting committee of
the Chamber of Commerce makes
its efforts at reduction farcical.
6. Since the tax commissioners
were unable to cut their own state
rate of 20 cents, they should APP
preciate the position of the city
budget makers, who did manage to
slice off penny.
z. That to fire public works en-
ployes, as proposed by the Indiana
Taxpayers Association, means to
add to the burden of poor relief by
putting more families of common
laborerS on the township and

citizen and one of the largest real
estate owners in this city
Brown painted the present plight
of business and said he saw no sign
of improvement. He explained that
while it was true, as the tax board
was told at the school city budget
hearing, savings deposits have in
creased and large cash reserves are
carried by the banks. the money is
needed to meet demands.
He urged adoption of the Cham
