Speaker Immediately Charges G.
o. P. Chiefs Are Playing Politics.
By nitcd Press
WASHINGTON, July II. - The
treasury department, represented by
acting Secretary A. A. Ballentine,
today announced its willingness to
cooperate in a congressional inves-
tigation of the department, but
coupled this statement with broad
hints of political purposes behind
such an inquiry.
IF the Speaker in his new role
Democratic vice presidential nonni-
nee) determines upon an investiga-
ton at this time the treasury
stands ready to cooperate, even
though this action does not seem
particularly in line with the pur-
pose of eliminating commissions and
investigation, said Ballentine, who
spoke in the absence Of Treasury
Secretary Ogden L. Mills, who is
addressing a Republican rally in
Boston tonight.
Speaker Garner Immediately met
the challenge of the treasury sec
rotary by charging administration
officials with trying to play poll
tics"
Their remission of taxes to one
big taxpayer he said, would keep
an investigating committee going
for twenty years. One refund,
probably an unjust one as that,
would keep the committee in funds. "

ROOSEVELTS HELP,
REFUSED BY HOOVER

his assistance is not needed here in
negotiations with Canada for con-
struction of the great St. Lawrence
waterway.
The President rejected the New
York Governors proposal that the
two confer in an effort to speed the
negotiations.
Roosevelt on Saturday tele-
graphed Mr.. Hoover that he under
stood the compact with Canada vas
being delayed by questions regard
ing New York'S interest in the river
development
He said he was ready to inter
rupt his New England cruise this
week to come to Washington and
help cut red tape"
Mr.. Hoover replied Sunday that
this will not be necessary" because
the negotiations ARE making prog
ress,7 and "have now reached a
hopeful aspect"
He said he would "be glad to have
you advised when an agreement
with Canada was reached.
The President reminded the Gov
ernor that making of international
treaties was a matter for the federal
government alone.
He said domestic questions, such
as disposal of power developed on
the New York side of the waterway
project, would be settled by congress
and the states after the treaty was
conSummated.
At that time, Mr.. Hoover added, 81
shall be glad to consult with you and
other Governors
The point at issue, while not de
veloped fully in the correspondence
is the Governors fear that the fed
eral government will burden the
state with excessive cost of the
power development so that state op-
Grafton or distribution would be I'M
profitable

DALE CUSTER is UP
Petition Probably Will Be
Given to Committee.

By UHHCd Press
MUNCIE, Ind, July 11-Demand
for removal from Office of Mayor
George R. Dale will be heard by
city council tonight, when it con-
siderS the charges filed by John A.
Cox, Center township constable.
Likelihood was expressed, how
ever, that the custer petition would
be turned over to a special COM
mittee, without preliminary dis
cuSSlon.
Cox charges that Dale is in
eligible to hold office because he
was sentenced in federal court June
3, to serve a penitentiary term,
upon liquor conspiracy conviction
Cox contends that the Office Of
mayor automatically was vacated
by the sentence.

MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP
OF UTILITIES URGED
only Means of Lifting Burden of
Taxation" Says Expert.

Municipal ownership of basic
producing utilities is the
only means by which the increasing
burden of taxation may be lifted,
Carl D. Thompson, Chicago, secre-
tary of Public Ownership League
of America, told members of the
Indiana Municipal Rights League
at luncheon at the Claypool today.
Prior to the luncheon, city at
torneys and heads of municipalities
met to discuss legislation to pave
the way for public ownership of
utilities and to be presented at the
general assembly's special session.
Proposals which will be Endorsed
would permit municipalities to issue
bonds to be paid by municipality
owned plants from control of the
public service commission.
Relief from the ever increasing
and crushing burden of taxation
in the cities only can be obtained in
one way and that is through the
municipal ownership of the basic,
revenue-producing utilities Thomp-
son asserted.

STATE INCOME
TAX MEASURE
is PREPARED
Second Bill Drafted by
Crawford to Abolish
Police Department.

Levying q personal income tax,
abolition Of the state police depart
ment and guaranteeing state funds
on deposit in state banks and trust
companies are provided in three
bills ready for introduction this week
in both houses in the Indiana gen.
eral assembly.
The personal income tax bill,
drawn by Representative Earl
Crawford. Milton, Democratic house
caucus chairman, provides tax of
l per cent on the first $1,000 of in
come. 2 per cent on the second, 3
per cent on incomes from $4,000 to
$4,000 and per cent on all over
$4,000.
1t provides that returns shall be
made on 1882 incomes, with the tax
falling due on April Is, 1888.
Guarantees State Funds
The bill which would guarantee
state funds deposited in state
banks and trust companies, drafted
by Senator French Clements (RepD
Evansville, would have al financial
institutions in which public funds
are on deposit, forward a certain
per cent of their average daily bal
ance at the end of the year to the
state bank commissioner.
At present, interest at the rate of
2 per cent of the daily average bal
ance is paid to the government
unit having the deposit.
Another Crawford measure, pro-
viding for adjustment of the state
police department, would affect a
savings of about 100000 annually
according to its author.
Considers Third Bill
He pointed out that the depart
ment, established in 1921 under q
law providing for issuance of auto
certificates of title, was created with
few members of the legislature
aware of it's birth.
Buried in the the statute was q
provision for employment of persons
to enforce the certificate of title
law. This group became the state
police.
Crawford said he is considering a
third measure. which would amend
the chain store license law to pro-
vide that county auditors shall col
lect the tax, eliminating waste of
about 100000 year for administra-
ton of the fund under the present
state law.

BANKING BILL DRAFTED
Measure to Speed Liquidation OF
Closed Institutions Prepared.

A bill which he believes will speed
the liquidation Of numerous closed
banks throughout'the state was pre-
pared for introduction in the sem
ate today by Senator French Glenn
ents (Rep0, Evansville.
The bill provides the necessary
legal structure for closed banks to
make loans from the federal Re-
construction Finance Corporation.
so far only banks that are func-
tioning have been able to take ad-
vantage of these funds and the new
law is necessary to permit closed
institutions to do so, Clements ex-
planned.

HERMAN SHIFTS
 TO TEAM FEM UP
 PLAN OF COACHING

MINNEAPOLIS Minn, Nov. 16. Bernie Herman, noted as one of the most soft spoken football coaches in the business, is chang ing his tactics as he gets deeper into his first campaign as coach of the University of Minnesota $ 'Thundering Herd"
 After starting the season using the mild methods he found so successful at Tulane, persuading players to run faster, start quick CT and block harder, he now has adopted the system of being loud CT, stricter and generally more hard-boiled.
 Herman says he found his Southern born players at Tulane more keyed up, and he interprets it as reflecting more emotional temperament than possessed by the northerners now under his command.
 I've got to steam them up," he says, "at least for awhile, though I don't personally care much for that system

Tulane, the victim of Auburn's $ comeback this year, was the only major team in the country to fin ish it's regular 1881 campaign, un- oefeated or united Subsequently the Greenies were deprived of this distinction by losing a sensational battle with Southern California in the Rose Bowl classic on New Years day, 1892.
 The unbeaten list has been rap idly reduced so far this season with the process in a fair way to being completed by the end of Novem- Der, with the aid of a few up- sets.
 Auburn in the South, Colgate in the East, Michigan and Notre Dame in the Middle West and Southern California in the Far West appear to have the best chances of keeping their slates clean.
