lizard shell conservative Hoosier
l. i Democrats who, through their
very standpatism, have for years
gradually grown to think as Repub-
licans are having the shock of their
political lives.
For suddenly, without a word OF
warning, Indiana has elected a con-
gresham who happens to be JET
fersonian in the real sense of the
word.
The political throwback is Eugene
Grove of Bedford, old Third district
congressman, elected in 1880.
Without a word of warning,
Grove, who long has been an indie
pendent political thinker, expound-
ed his "heresieS" at dinner in his
home town. However, they were not
given wide publicity until, upon
motion of his colleague, Congress-
man Arthur Greenwood of the Sec
ond district, they were printed in
the Congressional Record
And what is there in this political
philosophy which Grove enunciated
to shock the Hoosiers.
Nothing but the following:
He joins with Senator Norris
Rep., Neb), and Governor Roose-
velt of New York, and score or
more of other progressiveS in heliev-

vEHLINC FEE
PLEA REFUSED
Commissioners Decline to
Pay $25 Claim.

Policy of not allowing claims for
fees on alleged unnecessary autop-
sizes performed under direction OF
Coroner Fred w. vehling was
adopted today by county commits
Sioners.
A claim for a $25 fee for an au-
topsy on the body of Henry Pohl-
man, who presumably was asphyxi-
ated by fumes from his automobile
in the garage at his home Friday,
was rejected by commissioners.
Investigation into actual cause of
Pohlman'S death was started by the
board.
There was no reason for per-
forming an autopsy in that case y
George Snider, Republican commits
sioner, stated. 1T seems the coro-
ner is out to use up his 1882 autopsy
fund as soon as possible"
Vehling faces bribery solicitation
charges in criminal court and is due
to go on trial Monday. Impeach-
ment charges now pending against
the coroner in circuit court also
grew out of his autopsy practices.
The claim for $25 was presented
by Dr. Henry r. Alburger, who per-
formed the autopsy, within two days
after Pohlman'S death.
"It was a plain case of death
from monoxide gas and should not
be allowed" Dow w. Vorhies and
Thomas Ellis, Democratic board
members, declared.

new CHAIN TAX
BILL SCHEDULED
Sitter Assessment, Plan of
State LaWmaker.

Plan to introduce a bill at a Spe-
cial session or the next regular SeS-
sion of the Indiana legislature to
increase the chain store tax to $3.50
per store on the larger chains was
announced today by Representative
H. Curtis Bennett dem, Dillsboro) :,
author of the original bill.
Bennett, a member of the state
budget committee, said that he
would have several bills ready any
time the legislature meets.
He would lift the tax from single
stores entirely and start at $50 on
two or more and increase it in units
of five. Now the tax runs from SIS
a store to $25 on Che larger chains.
Failure to have the assessments
high enough is the cause of the
failure of the present law to live up
to expectation in the matter of pro-
ducing revenues, Bennett said.
Collections to date show that it
will yield only about. 100000 for
1929, 80 and RI. Bennett anticipates
a yield of around $1,500,OO0 to
100000 year under his amended
bill.
He also will support a malt tax
bill. but opposes a cigaret levy on
the grounds that there is enough
bootlegging going on without ex-
tending it to tobacco.
Reduction of governmental costs
also is on Benefits program.

They Tell NE

ing that the federal government
should own and operate the giant
power plants.
And he is on the side of Senators
La Toilette and Costigan in their de-
mandS that the federal government
issue bonds to be used on construc-
ton projects to relieve unemploy-
ment.
st believe a bond issue at this
time of from $4,000, 100000 to $5,0OO,-
100000 would bring money out of
hiding and the spending of it for
federal road building, public i'm
provements and similar projects
would break the back of this de-
preston" declared Grove.
The real shock in the entire affair
is how Indiana finally elected a man
to congress who can think along
liberal lines.
For the last two decades appar-
emily there has been qualification
of ideas and ideals.
And that this showing of intelli-
gence is welcome in Indiana is seen
in the widespread publicity given
Groves speech and the statement
that he looms larger than many
other candidates for the nomination
for United States senator.
If nothing else, Grove at least, is
thinking.

Papers Forwarded

Ball then properly signed and
forwarded the necessary papers to
Washington for contesting of the
election.
For some unknown reason, no
further actions was taken although
the contest still is on file with the
congressional committee on cleo
tions.
Attention was redirected to the
situation at the recent Indiana
delegation dinner in Washington
when Speaker John Garner de-
manded to know why the fight was
halted.
The Democratic state committee
then sent a representative to Muncie
to discuss the matter with Ball.
AS a result of this, Chairman
Peters today sent a letter to Ball
Saying:
Cites Fraud Belief
. Democratic leaders in Washing
ton exceedingly are anxious that
this contest be prosecuted to the
fullest extent of the law. There
is a prevalent belief that frauds
were committed in the reporting of
the ballots cast in that election"
Peters advised Ball that under
the federal law, a fund not to ex-
coed $4,000 would be available to
the contestant.
I'VE at state headquarters have
at all times been most eager that
this contest be prosecuted" the
chairman continues. Despite the
limitations upon our financial re-
sources, we have been most eager
and willing to raise any funds
necessary to that end.
Until a few weeks ago. we were
under the impression that what
ever evidence there was available
indicating fraud had been procured
ana placed in the hands of the cleo
ton committee in congress.
Evidence Not Presented
"On the occasion of my recent
visit to Washington, 1 was advised
that the evidence had not been pre-
sented, but that there still is an
avenue through which we may at
tack the purported election of
Vestal
Il am informed that if the prop
er evidence is procured and pre-
sented and the house of representa-
tlVeS is convinced that the election
OF Vestal was clouded by fraud, a
vacancy can be declared, and a
special election ordered for the
purpose of choosing a successor to
him."
Peters in his letter also declared
that any attorney Ball may select to
aid him in the contest will be placed
at his services by the state commit
tee.
So great an interest has developed
in the situation that Mayor George
Dale of Muncie has announced his
intention of going to Washington
to confer with party leaders on the
matter.
