Mr.. Fixit-I am writing you in
regard to an old piece of property
that stands on the southeast corner
of Ohio and Noble streets, known
as 141 North Noble. 1t has not
ben rented for two or three years.
The windows are out; the roof is
rotted off. There is no timing on
the house and the water runs off
into the yard and street.
Your letter has been referred to the
board of health, which has jurisdiction
over such cases. An Investigation will be
made.
Mr.. FiXit-At 1902 East Tenth
street there is a vacant house. In
the front the hedge has grown so
that it is impossible to see east on
Tenth street as you come out of
Newman. The weeds on this lot
also need cutting.
The park board and the board of
health both have been informed of this
condition. Proper steps will be taken to
correct this, Mr. Fixit was assured
Mr. FiXit-There is sewer at
the corner of Sixteenth street and
Hall place that has a stencil which
is almost unbearable.
The street commissioners office was to
correct the sewer Wednesday. The re-
mainder of your letter is being referred
to the board of health.

Rail System
to Buy NeU,
Street Cars
BY ]. ]. BEDLOW

Real estate interests especially
have been highly gratifed with the
policy of improvement announced
by President Charles w. Chase of
the street railway system.
This program includes the addi-
ton of new cars and buses and
the strengthening of the service all
over the city, so that the routes
covered by the system will have ex-
cellent service.
1t generally is recognized by real
estate men that operation of the
street railway affects the value of
property all over the city. If the
street car service is Inadequate.
rentals go down and the public
manifests a tendency to crowd to-
gether. When service is excellent
there is a greater demand for rem
tai properties, an opportunity to
make allotment enterprises of value
to the community, and g stronger
demand for central business proper
ties.
The later also is affected by abb
Sence of proper parking facilities.
which in turn cause more persons
to use the street railway. In fact.
the tendency to avoid the worries
OF driving down town, finding a
parking place and walking gcodly
distances from the car to the des-
tination, is stronger every day.
People have come to realize that
a street car or bus that will deliver
one to the destination anywhere in
the city in fifteen or twenty min
-utes, free from all personal effort
and inconvenience, not only is a city
asset, but a personal advantage.
President Chase quietly is going
forward with his efforts to give the
maximum in service to the public
confident that the people of Indi-
annapolis will appreciate the efforts
being made and use the street rail-
way and bus systems to their own
advantage.

REDUCTION IN
RAIL FREIGHT RATES
Cuts Are Discussed at Meeting of
State Traffic Committee.

Cuts Are Discussed at Meeting of
State Traffic Committee.
Reduction in railroad freight
rates between Indiana and the
southwest was discussed Friday at
a meeting of the freight and traffic
committee of the state Chamber of
Commerce in the Board Of Trade.
Proposed new rates were ap-
proved by the committee with the
single exception Of rates on long
hauls, which are held by the COM
mittee to be too high. The opinion
was expressed that high rates will
lose long haul business for rail-
roads either through use of other
transportation methods, or the es-
tablishment Of subsidiary factories.
George Field, traffic manager of
the Chrysler Corporation of New
castle, president, and r. B. Coap-
stick, traffic manager for the
Chamber, discussed the report on
the new rates.

CUT IN TAXABLE
STATE REALTY
VALUES SOUGHT
Beckett Demands Flat 20
Per Cent Slash; Asks
Levy Limit.

Bills providing for a fiat 20 per
cent reduction in all assessed real
estate and personal property valua-
tons and limiting the tax rate of all
governmental units to that of 1892,
will be introduced by Senator Joe
Rand Beckett at the special legisla-
tive session, he announced today.
Beckett, who is chairman of the
senate cooperative committee on
economy legislation, also is chief
promoter of the Association for Tax
Justice,
The blanket reductions are said
to represent the views of that body,
which is opposed to any distribution
Of the tax burden to include incomes
or intangibles.
Beckett pointed out that to make
mandatory a 20 per cent reduction
in assessed valuation. without rails
ing the rate, will mean that a 20 per
cent actual cut in taxes will be- paid.
Asks Justice For All
Everybody knows that tangible
values have dropped even more
than per cent on real estate and
personal property" Beckett ex-
planned.
THE people are entitled to this
reduction in their tax. They are
getting it in some communities, but
in others the assessors have not
seen the light. A horizontal, state
wide cut would mean justice for all.
The bill prohibiting an increase
in 1888 over the 1882 rate auto
matically would translate the valu-
alton cuts into reduction of taxes
for everybody.
practically everywhere that the
assessors have announced real cuts
in valuation the tax spending Off
Gals have been crying:
eve can't run the government
unless we increase the tax levy to
make up the difference in the valu-
alton.
Cut Held Possible
The fact remains that every per-
son in his business and private life
has been able to cut his eXpendi-
lures from 20 to so per cent or
more.
IF we can do it in business and
in the home we can do it in govern
ment.
In the combination of these bills,
together with relief from mandatory
laws and levies which the special
session will undoubtly grant, we
have simple, workable plan to
bring reductions of approximately
$30,000000 in Indiana tax bills"
The session conveneS Thursday
and arrangements are being made
by Lieutenant Governor Edgar D.
Bush and Speaker Walter Myers to
hold conferences on all measures
Wednesday.

Complaint Is Cited

In his letter, Overley cited re-
cent complaint from a woman who
had purchased three of the coupons
for Is cents each.
The representative stated to her
that she would get mounted pic
ture, but at your office she was told
there would be no mounting to the
coupon picture the letter charges.
She states that you discredited
the coupon picture endeavoring to
get her to purchase others, and that
she was told that each person would
have to call for his picture person
ally.
"One of the coupons was to be
used by her mother, who lives near
Chicago where such a proposition
would be absolutely impractical"
The letter contains a direct re-
quest for the refund of the pur-
chaSer's money, and also asks assur-
ance that causes for complaint will
be eliminated from the studios &C

COUPON EXPOSE
CUTS BUSINESS
OF PHOTO FIRM
Studio Is Nearly Deserted
After Times BareS
Sales Deals.
BY JAMES A. CARvIN

In striking contrast to the
crowd of customers earlier in the
week, the waiting room of the New
Stewart Studios, Inc, 80 Monument
Circle, practically was deserted
Friday.
Charges of Misrepresentation on
the part of canvaSsers selling cou-
pons, emitting holders to photo
graphic work at the studio, were
revealed Thursday by The Times
after investigation had been made
of complaints received by the
Better Business Bureau.
In addition to the activities of
the statesmen, The Times found
that purchasers Of coupons were
subjected to solicitation for pur-
chase of additional photographs.
The coupons offer a $3.50 photo
graph for so cents, but it was
found that no proofs are supplied
for the selection of the purchaser,
without additional charge of so
cents.
Place Was Crowded
During the more than two-hour
wait of The Times representative
Thursday the strdio was crowded by
never less than ten, and as many
as fifteen women and children.
To the question Friday as to
whether statesmen still were at
tempting to sell the coupons the
only reply of the manager was, u
can't tell you"
The same reply was received when
it was asked if the studio would re-
fund money to coupon purchasers.
T. M. Overley, manager of the
Better Business Bureau, has written
the studio pointing out the bureaus
belief that the coupons are in vio-
lation of the state Trading Stamp
act.
This provides that such instru-
ments must bear their redeemable
value.

VOTE ON issue IS
22S TO 169;;PARTY
Lines SPLIT WIDE
Many Lawmakers Indignant as
Fellows Force Ballot to
Complete Record
Advocates Of Proposal Had
Little Hope Of Enacting
it Into Law

North Dakota's three Republican
representatives, Burtness. Hall and
Sinclair, voted against taking up the
bill.
Washington, May 23.-(F)-The
house Of representatives Mon d ay
fatty turned down the proposal to
legalize and tax 2.75 per cent beer.
The vote was 228 to 100, with party
lines split wide.
The issue was on whether to dis
charge the ways and means commit
tee from consideration of the Hull
O'Connor measure and put 1t before
the house for a roll call.
Sponsored by Democratic and Re-
publican wet blocs, the bill to levy q
three-cents a pint tax on 2.75 per
cent beer. was brought up on petit
ton Of 145 members.
It was the first record vote in the
house on beer since 1919 and came
after 20 minutes debate.
The senate recently rejected pro-
posals for legalizing beer.
The roll call Monday came after
Speaker Garner had overridden
parliamentary objection by Rep
resentative Blanton CDem., Texas
who contended it was out of order
since the house already had voted on
submission of the prohibition issue.
Political repercussions may be wide
from the voting, but party lines long
|ago were knocked away. Sponsored
by bipartisan anti-prohibition bloc,
the ballot was forced in a petition
signed by II Democrats, 81 Repub-
licans and one Farmer-Laborite.
The bill was forced to vote in the
face of bitter Undertakings from COL
leagues. to place each member on rec
