RALLIES DRY FORCES
TO HOLD THE line
Pastor Spurs On Council of
of Church Women.

DR.. T. r. White, assistant pastor
of the First Presbyterian church,
rallied the dry forces ito hold the
line in Indiana" at a meeting of
the indianapolis Council of Fed
Grated Church Women in the
Woodruff Place Baptist Church
Friday.
Efforts of the vets to bring back
booze are a part of the greatest
piece of paid propaganda ever put
over on the American people," Mr..
White declared.
It's lie to say our young people
rant liquor back. During prohibi-
ton people spent their money for
homes and automobiles instead of
huge sums for booze.
"All of the gains we have made
IN the century for the dry cause
will be swept away if the eighteenth
amendment is repealed. We must
hold the line in Indiana. Beer is
only the wedge for hard LIQUOR to
come back"
A resolution pledging that women
of the council will patronize only
those dealers who are. in sympathy
with the dry cause" was adopted
at the session.

Spring Tax Payment May
Be Made in MstULlments
Plan Legal by New Law, Is
Reminder From Realty
Official.

Marion county taxpayers were re-
minded today by Lawrence G..
Holmes, indianapolis Real Estate
Board secretary, that the spring in
stallment of taxes may be paid in
two installments, under a law passed
at the special session of the legis-
lature last year. The spring tax pay
ment deadline is May l.
Partial payment of an installment
has been refused in the past.
Under the new law, spring and
fall installments are provided for,
together with provision for paying
half the spring or fall installments
before the deadline and the remain
der at later time.
Under this plan, Holmes said,
failure to pay more than half Of
the spring installment now would
result in only half of that INSTALL
ment being delinquent and subject
to the penalty of 3 per cent, to-
gether with 8 per cent interest for
the time it is delinquent.
Members of the realty board have
been advised by Holmes to delay
paying the spring installment until
they have received word from realty
board attorneys, prosecuting the
boards test suit of the $3.50 law.
Advice as to whether to tender
taxes at the $3.50 rate, provided by
law, or pay under protest, will be
given them next week, he said.
The suit seeks to enjoin the COL
lection of rates in excess of $50.
