Failure to Wipe Slate Clean
Only DeepenS Misery,
Is Claim.
BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS
Scripps- Howard Foreign Editor


WASHINGTON, Sept. 26.-Failure
to wipe the slate clean of repara-
tons and war debts only can pro-
long the depression, add to business
losses and deepen human suffering
the Brookings Institute of Eco
nomics today concluded. after ten
years of intensive, partisan in
vestigation.
The nations of the world war all
are bound together, the institute
now merged with the BrookingS
Observation-Disclosures in a 500-page
report, and bankruptcy and misery
in one section of the globe newt
ably spreads to others.
The report is published as g
volume, entitled, War Debts anc
World Prosperity" by Harold G
Moulton and Leo PaSvolsky.
Europe, says the report, can not
recover until Germany and Contra
Europe RECEIVERS, and the United
States can not get back on it's fee
until Europe, too, shows signs Of
real convalescence.
Therefore, it concludes, "our an.
swer is unequivocal:
Il. A complete obliteration of al
reparations and war debt obliga-
tions would promote, rather than re-
tard, world economic prosperity.
%. The collection of these inter
governmental debts would be eco
nomically detrimental, rather thar
beneficial, to the creditor ,coun-
tries"

FIGHT is MADE
BY zOERCHER
ON TAX LIMIT
15-Cent State Rate Illegal,
Says Veteran Member
of Board.

Declaring that the 15-cent tax
rate limitation is lin direct conflict
with Sections / and of Article 9
of the Indiana Constitution" Phil
Zoercher, veteran member of the
state tax board, said today he will
continue his fight to have it abro-
gated.
These sections provide that the
general assembly must assure funds
to support institutions for the edu-
cation Of the deaf and dumb, blind
and insane, and provide houses Of
refuge" for correction and reforma-
ton of juvenile offenders.
Both Governor Harry G. Leslie
and Floyd E. Williamson, state au-
ditor, have asserted that they will
uphold the l5-cent rate, which has
the approval of Attorney General
James M. Ogden.
Bankruptcy Is Faced
Zoercher, who procured the opin-
ion from ogden, says that in his
opinion 1t follows neither the con-
stitution nor court decisions, and the
will fight to prevent the state finan-
cial embarrassment, which, he says,
is bound to ensue IL the state rate
is held to Is cents.
1t had been admitted at the Of
flee of the state auditor that with
the lucent rate in effect the state
will have to borrow On future tax
payments next fall to prevent bank
ruptcy.
Directors of the Hoosier Taxpay-
ers Union, which backed the $3.50
porperty tax limitation law, has an
nounced that any such attempt at
borrowing will be opposed in the
courts.
The Constitution forbids the state
to contract debts.
Fought Once Before
The 15-cent state tax rate limi-
tation is part of the $3.50 law.
zoercher pointed out that when
special levies and the teachers re-
tirement fund levy have been de-
Quoted from the Is cents, only 39
cents remains, while 100000 is
needed to operate the institutions
outlined in the Constitution, and
$20,000,000 for all state departments,
penal and benevolent institutions.
He would be willing to try to bal
ance the budget with a 24-cent rate,
he said. The present rate is 20
cents and since that rate was set
81 000,000,000 has been dropped from
assessed valuations throughout the
state.
zoercher once before fought for
what he termed Just rate" and
won a compromise. At that time he
favored reductions It was in
1924 under the administration of
the late Governor Emmett Branch.
Robert Bracken, member Of the
board at that time, favored a So
cent rate. Zoercher held out for
81, and compromise was made at
70 cents, with approval of John j.
DLOWu, CIleLl CldlIHldH OI The DOdIQ.
Deaf Ears for Plea
Tax board members set the rate
and provide the data to show it's
soundness. The rate is then ap-
proved by the Governor and state
auditor, and used by all counties as
the state rate in making tax COL
lections.
Official announcement of the rate
is to be made shortly, and it ap-
peared that zoercher's plea will fall
upon deaf ears.
Neither the Republican Governor
nor Democratic state auditor want
to accept responsibility for a rate
high enough to balance the bud~et
They are inclined to let the leeis-
lature, which set the 15-ccnt rate,
figure out way to fill in the deficit

CONSTITUTION
ST|RS BATTLE

machine Rule" Fight Center
As New Federation Seeks
To Determine Its Laws

A bitter fight over the con-
stitution of the new American
Federation of Federal EN-
ployes developed today as the
federation continued its ses-
sions at the Hamilton Hotel.
AS the constitution was taken
up President David R. Glass de-
clared an executive session.
Other officials said the chief
reason for the fight was the de-
sire of the constitution COM
mittee to make it impossible for
any one man or group of per-
sons to develop a machine.
Classification Discussed
After the constitution is dis
posed. of the report of the legiS-
lative committee will be taken
up. This is said to be featured
by a platform providing that
married women shall have an in
tegral place in the Federal Gov
ernment, the same as their hus-
bands.
Classification occupied the bulk
of the morning session Of the
convention. A resolution offered
by the resolutions committee on
that subject was adopted after
lengthy debate.
The resolution went into detail
about classification problems, de-
clared that the next session of
Congress would not take up the
matter, and asserted that a sur
vey of the classification issue,
both departmental and field, is
necessary.
Election on Program
The resolution further stated
that trades in which wages are
or should be fixed by wage boards
are to be excluded from the sur
vey.
Election of officers was on the
convention program with indica-
tions that John Arthur Shaw
would be chosen as president to
succeed Glass, who launched the
organizat ton.
The organization at a night
meeting came out solidly in sup
port of the married woman" in
the Federal service. In a resolu
ton presented by the Legislative
Committee, and passed by the con-
vention, the group condemned the
Economy Act as attacking the in
stitution of marriage and under
mining the morale of Government
