OPEN AT THE PALACE

"Arrowsmith," Samuel Goldwyn's
perturbation of Sinclaire Lewis
novel, starring Ronald Colman,
which comes to the Palace on Fri
day, records the thrilling, tragic
story of what fearless scientists have
done to stamp out the great plaques
which have always been the worst
enemies of mankind.
In the role of its crusading doctor
hero, Ronald Colman goes down to
q savage island in the West Indies
to risk his life against bubonic
plague, the historic Black Death, in
hopes of proving that he has dis
covered its cure.
The novel of "Arrowsmith," &C
knowledged to be Sinclair Lewis
masterpiece, is, of course, fiction.
But neither the ravages of the Black
Death nor the perils of the men who
have sought to stamp out such
scourgeS r fictitious.
Nowadays, the civilized world pays
little attention to bubonic plague
because it is no longer a threat.
But until a few years ago it was not
even known that it was rats which,
travelling from one continent to an
other on ships, carried the terrible
disease from it's breeding places in
the east to Europe and America.
Time and time again, both in me-
diaeval and modern times, the Black
Death came out of the east and ex-
terminated whole cities and coun-
tries.

PRODUCERS MAY
HAVE TO SLASH
PRICE OF MILK
Reduction Seen Necessary
to Meet Competition
of Independents.

Reduction in milk prices may be
necessary here to meet COMPETE
ton of unorganized milk producers,
Carl L. Hedges, Central Indiana
Dairymen's Association manager, de-
clared Wednesday at a meeting of
$50 milk producers in Cadle Tab
ernacle.
You can't call it a milk war if
we reduce prices to meet cut
throat competition from morgan
lied producers" he said.
Hedges declared low prices re-
ceived by dairymen in this vicinity
has resulted because three o. four
times as much milk as is needed
is produced in the area.
Urges Elimination
Admitting many producers find
the milk business Improbable now.
Hedges declared if producers would
eliminate from their herds, COWS
producing less than 300 pounds of
butterfat a year, they not only
would reduce the surplus, but would
make profits at present low prices
through lowered costs.
Successful fight of the milk pool
for control of the Cincinnati mar
ket was described by Henry Hartke,
Cincinnati, National Cooperative
Milk Producers Federal president.
Hartke urged producers in the
pool to help themselves by prevail
ing upon their city acquaintance
to buy milk only from distributors
buying through the pool.
Price Causes Surplus
Milk is the only farm commodity
which has remained above pre-war
price levels and this partly accounts
for the present surplus as many
farmers dropped less profitable work
to produce milk, he said.
Answering complaint of a member
of the audience who said producers
are losing money at 10 cents a GAL
Ion for their milk. Hartke replied
that for pool producers to go on
strike would harm, rather than
help them, as the huge surplus here
would make 1t easy for distributors
to buy enough milk from other pro-
ducers.
Even if the pool controlled all the
milk in this area, the present eco

TAX BOARD HIT
ON 'FAvORITISM
SHOWN UTILITY
County Assessor Threatens
Suit to Hike Valuation of
Harding Plant.

Charging favoritism is being
shown utilities by the state tax
board, county officials today pre-
pared to file suit against the tax
board to raise the assessment on
the Harding street plant Of the
indianapolis Power and Light Com
pany.
Instructions, as given assessors, to
assess property at it's true cash
value" were hurled at tax board
members at a meeting in the Grim
inal courtroom Wednesday night.
James A. Showalter, tax board
president, and Pliny Wolfard, mem
Der, became the target of an at
tack from County Assessor Robert
Sloan and several hundred deputy
assessors, who attended the meeting,
called by the tax board.
Quizzed on Valuation
Tax board members addressed
meeting. Then Walter c. Rothermel,
South Side Civic Leagues utility
committee chairman, asked how the
board fixed S1,150,0O0 as the Hard
ing street plant assessment.
your board assessed that prop
erty for S250,000 less than the light
company's sworn statement, now in
your Office, said it was WORTH"
Sloan said, joining the argument.
Sloan cited the S., 0O0,0 900 which
the county board Of review had
fixed as the plants assessment.
Admits Value Affidavit
Explanations by Wolfard that the
board assessed the utility as a
whole for S35,17S,OOO and that is
its true cash value" only embit-
tered the attack.
Board members admitted they
had an affidavit saying the prop
erty was worth $1,400,000.
Sloan then told Showalter: Il will
sue your board and raise that as
sessment."
one assessor charged the light
company is advertising the prop
erty as valued at $4,000, 900.
Further explanations by Showal-
ter that the tax board must con-
slider going values of utility con-
Germs" did not appease the aroused
county officials.
Fay Tax Dodgers
In their addresses, Sloan and tax
board members 1ayed tax dodgers,
urging assessors to assess all taxable
property this year.
Marion county can expect a
lowered rate when all property is
assessed. Millions Of dollars in
Marion county are escaping taxa
tion," Wolfard said.
Showalter declared: Statistics
show that six-sevenths of the peo-
pie in Indiana do not pay their
share per capita tax"
Advocating assessments at their
true cash value" Sloan said he was
aware that such appraisal at true
cash value will result in material re-
duction in the total assessed value
of property"

It is quite simple to antici-
pate despite Father Masterson's
sustained silence in the matter
of details of his plan.
The obvioua strategem involved
in selling" the Masterson plan
to the several colleges and uni
versities of the N. C. A. A. is to
gain agreement from those sew

plan in principle, and not to
