Power COmpany's Taxes Require
$4,000 Consumers.

Public utilities have placed mil
ions Of dollars in circulation
through improvements despit e
heavy revenue decreases, Clifford L.
Eiarrod, indianapolis Power q Light
Company president, told Inoianap-
oils RotarianS Tuesday.
Business failures alone have cut
$250,000 from the light company's
annual revenues, he said, adding
that the company is carrying 10000
delinquent customers who are ST.
100000 in arrears on their bills.
In discussing the company's tax
problems, Harrod said in 1927 it paid
$649, 477.21 on assessed valuation of
S25, 748,185, while in 1882 its taxes
were $930,748 on assessed valuation
of 37,798, 760. These figures do not
include federal income tax, ne
added.
The average domestic bill Of ali
domestic consumers last year was
only 1929, the utility official said
and the average daily tax $3.50.
Thus, he pointed out, it required

Legion Drive for Fixed
Veterans Relief Is Urged
Permanent Program Needed
Says National Chief at
Session Here.

Campaign for permanent, far
reaching program Of veteran relief
was urged upon the executive COM
mittee of the American Legion to-
day by the national commander,
Louis johnson. He spoke at the
opening of a three-day meeting OF
the committee in national head
quarters of the legion, TIT North
Meridian street.
Johnson first announced his out
line of the program in an address
in New York Saturday.
The national commander proposes
that the government adopt policy
Of equal treatment Of all veterans,
their widows and orphans. At pres
ent, johnson states, widows and or
phans of World war veterans do
not receive help, but those OF vet
Grams Of other wars are aided.
Favors Fixed Schedule
He favors a permanent classical
ton and fixed schedule Of benefits
for all veterans and their depend
ents; a policy of entirely adequate
provision, in periods of normal eco
nOmic conditions for veterans with
war service connected disabilities,
without regard to their financial
status or other means of support.
Finally, Johnson proposes a
policy whereby all incapacitated vet
Grams without means of support
would be wards of the federal gov
eminent and not of state and local
governments, public or private
charity.
Another speaker heard by the
committee was General Roman
GOrecki of Poland, president Of
Fidac, international organization of
World war veterans of allied ma
lions, who is on a tour during which
he will visit several middle western
and eastern cities.
GoreCki lauded President Roose-
welt for calling statesmen of other
nations into conferences seeking a
way to remedy world ills. He praised
the American Legion, declaring it
enc of the largest and most influ-
entail units Of F'idac.
HonOred at Luncheon
The world organization of vet
Grams, Gorecki said, is a potent fac
tor in promoting peace.
The visitor, a Polish banker, was
honor guest at luncheon given at
the Indianapolis Athletic club by
Governor Paul V. McNutt, and at
tended by legion executive commit
tee members and officials. Tonight
he will be the guest at dinner in
the club given by Johnson.
He was to lay wreath this after
noon on the cenotaph, memorial TO
World war dead, in the Indiana
World War Memorial plaza, and to
visit larger banks of the city.
He will be in Culver Friday for
inspection of cadets at the Culver
Military Academy.
