also said that I could not move my
car until did have it fixed.
The garage man told me that I
should put my car in his garage
over night and when told him that
did not have any money to pay for
storage, he made a few slurring re-
marks and left. I obtained permis-
sion from the officer in charge to
park my car away from and in the
rear of the garage.
1 have witnesses to prove this
fact. I returned the next morning
to get my car, only to find that it
had been broken into and pulled
into the garage. I also found one
of my tires fiat. I then went and
talked to the officer in charge (the
same officers who gave me pernis-
sion to park my car away from the
garage), and told him what had
happened and he then told me that
1t was against the law to park where
1 had.
Why didn't this officer tell me
that the night before?
[ also understand that the garage

pay storage bill before could get
my car away from the garage.
When I attempted to drive nv
car away, it would not start and
upon examination, found that the
garage man had taken part of nv
distributor. He did not release this
to me until I had asked for it.
Is this sort of procedure neces-
sary? Is this the sort of freedom
our Constitution has given US? Do
you wonder why people become
radical?

VINO, by the way, are being paid bv
the taxpayers. A TAXPAYER
Editor Times-I have read some
OF the proposals on the part of In
diana politicians to reduce taxes
which to date appear to be half
hearted.
Generally, I do not believe our
politicians realize the necessity for
action and prompt results. Prom
erty owners in this state have or
ganized and are pressing the poli-
tlclans for relief and it seems that
they will get it.
However, what relief the propertv
owner obtains in the way of reduced
taxes is going to be added to the
taxes now paid by other state citi-
zens who are not property owners
in the way Of income tax, etc.
Under this scheme the property
owner will obtain relief and the mol
iticians will put over another fast
one by shifting the burden from one
citizen to another. While the prom
erty owner obtains his weIl-earned
reduction, I do not believe he will
obtain what he started out to get
reduction in state, municipai and
county maintenance expense in
keeping with the times.
In private industry, from top tn
bottom incomes in the last three
years have decreased from 30 IN
100 per cent, both to owners and
employees, while government costs
have increased and from all indica-
tons will remain the same or in
crease further
Why should not all government
officials and employees take a f1at
Is per cent to Is per cent reduction
in wages, regardless of who it is?
If the present laws will not permit
it, change the laws at once to cor
rect this condition.
An honest effort on the part of
state, city and county officials would
bring about easily a 80 per cent re-
duction in total government cost.
Why Is it that a county treasurer
receives in annual commissions S75,-
