fed with the results of Tuesdays
election that saw the New Deal vic
torious in Kentucky and the usual
Democratic majorities sustained in
New York state.
Mr.. Roosevelt's final hours at his
Hudson Valley home were devoted
to review of the Kentucky results.
Democratic leaders regarded the
Kentucky balloting as effective in
that the issue was one based on ma
tional policies. Furthermore they
looked on the outcome to counter
act to great extent the Republican
cheering over the capturing of the
New York State Assembly and the
election of a G. o. P. mayor in
Philadelphia.
Mr.. Roosevelt's attitude was set
forth by his friends. He was repre-
sented as feeling that the personal
equation and local issues rather
than the New Deal played a salient
part in final selection of the various
candidates.
The President planned to say
goodby to neighbors and friends late
this afternoon and motor to New
York where tonight he will board
special train for the capital. In
New York he will attend ceremonies
in connection with the inducing of
Franklin Jr., and James into the

DISCUSS 2-CENT
RATE REDUCTION
IN COUNTY LEVY
Taxpayer Groups Contend
Road Repair, General
Funds Too High.

Possibilities Of reducing the 3e-
cent Marion County tax rate 2
cents were discussed yesterday at
a conference between county off,
Gals, State Tax Board members
and representatives of the Indiana
Taxpayers Association and the
Chamber of Commerce.
Both Harry Miesse, taxpayer as
ISOLATION secretary, and Virgil Shep-
pard, chamber research head, con-
tended that 1-cent levy for free
gravel road repair should be elm
mated and that l cent should be
slashed from the general fund levy.
Mr.. Miesse declared the county
will receive sufficient gasoline tax
and automobile license fees to
finance road repair. Both he and
Mr.. Sheppard reached higher esti-
mates on fall tax collections and
miscellaneous receipts than those
fixed by county officials.
Defend Present County Rate
Fabian Biemer, deputy county au-
ditor, and Dow w. Vorhies, County
Commissioner, defended the present
county rate of 80 cents, contending
even that figure will make it diff
cult for the county to meet all its
obligations.
The tax board decided no action
Will be taken until a report is re-
celved the last of this week or the
first of next on the percentage of
fall tax collections and delinquent
cies.
1t was indicated, however, that
the board might support directors
on elimination of the 1-cent road
maintenance levy in the county rate.
The hearing brought out that the
levy was sought to pay off old OBJ
legations.
Tax Board Chairman Philip
zoercher said he believed the levy
may be illegal because of 1882
law prohibiting the mourning of OBJ
legations when no appropriations
have been made to meet them.
Differences in Figures
Three differences between the
taxpayer association and city Of
fetal figures on the civil city rate
were discussed with the board.
The DIRECTORS insist tax collec-
tons and revenue receipts, chiefly
excise, will be larger than city Off
Gals have estimated, and dispute
the need for large sinking fund
sought by City Controller Walter
Boetcher.
Reductions suggested by the tax
payers association would reduce the
city rate about % cents from $1.14
on each 500 of taxables.
However, Mr.. Boetcher said he
believes a large balance should be
built up to meet interest and bond
maturities falling due as late as
1910. He termed refunding ex-
travagant and said the city should
arrange at intervals to meet a part
of the Indebtedness.

Of the precincts heard from, the
New Deal candidate had obtained a
lead that will be almost impossible
TO overcome when final votes are
tabulated.
Predict 100000 Majority
Republicans had counted upon a
split in Democratic ranks to offset
the support Of Chandler by the ma
tional Administration. Gov. Ruby
Laffoon, Democratic national COM
mitteeman, had asked Kentucky
voters to defeat the Democratic
candidate.
Democratic headquarters here
predicted Chambers final majority
would reach nearly 100000, more
than 20. coo more votes than Laf-
foons majority over the Republican
nominee four years ago. The record
breaking vote cast Tuesday will aid
this prediction. 1t was believed that
200 900 more voters went to the polls
than in any previous Kentucky cleo
ton.
Despite a strenuous fight by the
AntiSaloon League and other dry
forces, repeal Of the states 16-year-
old prohibition amendment seemed
assured. Returns from TIL precincts
gave 1928 for repeal and 62,775
against,
Back Old-Age Pensions
Voters also sided with the New
Deal in instructing the Legislature

TAXI OWNERS
TO FIGHT BILL
LIMITING CABS
Drivers Join in Protest;
Measure in Council Is
Termed Unfair.

Most taxicab owners and drivers,
though they watched IN silence
Monday night when a new licensing
ordinance was introduced in the
City Council, are opposed to the
measure, survey by The Indianap-
oils Times revealed today.
They fear the identity of their
organizations may be destroyed, and
all object to those sections seeking
to limit the number of vehicles.
Owners have prepared lengthy
objections and are ready to fight
the bill at ensuing meetings, it was
learned.
Urges Convenience Clause
Opposed to the limitation pro-
visions, Thomas Ruckelshaus, Red
Cab Co. president, wants a con
venience and necessity" clause
substituted.
Many large cities have such
clauses" he declared, and have
found them satisfactory. The num-
Der would still be limited, but in
cases of emergency, such as large
conventions, 1t would be possible to
appear before board and get more
cabs on the street. This substitu-
ton would make the ordinance
more elastic.
Wants Higher Standards
Mr.. Ruckelshaus said some pro-
visions of the measure which would
regulate safety conditions of cabs
and eliminate meter cheating"
were good. Il believe in some regu-
lation, and, of course, I want higher
standards for this business" he
said
James F. Daniel, Hoosier Cab Co.
Secretary-treasurer, charged the
proposed ordinance seemed to be
prepared at the dictation of the
street car company.
In June the taxi operators
agreed on measure asking for a
20 per cent increase in cabs, and
had it submitted to the City Coun-
Gil. That bill later was killed" he
said. IF this proposed ordinance
passes, it will destroy the identity
of practically every organization in
the city"
He explained that most taxi Or

set well-laid plans. So runs the
story told by New Dealers.
Gov. Ruby Laffoon, lavish bestow-
e rof Kentucky colonelcies and friend
of Jim Farley, decided that his
Democratic wing of the bipartisan
machine should have four more
years in power. He oiled up his
machine and steered it toward the
nomination of Thomas S. Rhea. a
state highway commissioner. The
nomination was to be by party con-
vention.
Whereupon Robert Worth Bing-
ham, publisher of the Louisville
Courier-Journal and ambassador to
England, interceded. At his urging,
President Roosevelt sent Senator Al
ben w. Barley home to Kentucky
with letter to Democratic leaders
demanding that the party select
its nominee for Governor, not by
convention, but by party primary
To block this play, Gov. Laffoon
hustled to Washington to try to
sell his candidate, Mr.. Rhea, to Far
ley and Roosevelt. But this time
he had left the state once too often.
Left State at Wrong Time
Lieut.. Gov. A. B. Happy Chand-
Ter, foe of Laffoon, friend of Bing-
ham and himself an aspirant for
Governor, called the Legislature into
special session. Laffoon scurried
back to bloc's this procedure by
court action, but failed, and the
Legislature at Chambers bidding
abolished the convention nominat-
ing system. 1t enacted a law re-
curing nomination by two pri-
maries-a preliminary and run
off.
In the first primary, Tom Rhea,
the machine candidate, led a field of
seven, with Chandler second. In
the run-off Chandler won.
BY now the breach was so wide
that, despite all attempts of Wash
ington to restore harmony, Laffoon
and Rhea and many others of the
old Statehouse crowd went over to
the enemy.
Too Much Weight
But the enemy" was led by Judge
King Swope, who had won the Re-
publican gubernatorial nomination
by assailing the Laffoon record. Like
Chandler, he had denounced
Laffoon's state sales tax And while
Chandler declared himself to be
Roosevelt's choice, Swope refrained
from attacking the President. In
stead, SWope heWed to state issues,
and insisted that Laffoon and Rhea
and Chandler and the old machine
crowd were all of kind.
When Laffoon and Rhea and
others of the machine clambered
on to the saddle of Swope, the latter
found himself carrying too much
weight. That, at least, is the way
the story is told here.
And Happy" Chandler, travelling
light and flying the New Deal colors
swept across the finish line.
