Indiana Trustees.

A pledge that all of lndi-

continue throughout the win

voiced this afternoon by

TRAITOR.
Mr.. Coy revealed that $4,000 per-
sons now are at work on WPA prof.
ects, 10000 in civilian Conservation
camps and that $4,000 will be added
TO the pay rolls in October.
There will be no lapse in prof.

Predicts Heavy Relief Burden
A heavy burden on private re-
lief agencies this winter was pre-
dicted by the WPA administrator.
He pointed out that the problem
of taking care of tranSientS will fall
on these agencies, primarily since
the government is disseminating
transient relief
TranSients at the two Federal
shelters here are to be shifted to
WPA as soon as possible. he said,
and it is hoped eventually to dis
continue them.
Mr.. Coy also warned that the re-
lief burden on the township trustees
will be heavy temporarily. probably
in all of October and part of Mo-
vember However. it will be light
ened when $4,000 are put to work
on PWA in october, leaving approx
imately 10000 on direct relief.
Relief Queries Answered
Three relief queries were answered
today by Atty. Gen. Philip Lutz Jr.
He held that township trustees may
not allow investigators for auto ex-
pense hire in addition to their 81
day salary; that County Auditors
may not pay poor relief claims I'M
less the claims are accompanied by
the original trustee order, and that
township trustees may employ in
vestigators in townships where there
are less than 200 on relief.
The prohibition against claims
payment probably will curtail guam
tity buying by Township Trustees,
it was said, thus causing additional
poor relief expense.

Budget Is SIaShed


WASHINGTON, Sept. 3O.-Presi
dent Roosevelt, promising to get the
nation out of the red without resort
ing to new taxes, today pared near
ly billion and a quarter dollars
from the prospective federal deficit
for the current fiscal year.
In a drastic budget revision Mr..
Roosevelt declared in a report pre-
pared before he left for the West
that business is improving and
therefore increased revenues can be
expected.
Thus it is clear to me-" he wrote,
that the Federal government under
provisions of present tax schedules
will not need new taxes or increased
rates in existing taxes to meet the
expense of its necessary annual OPP
erationS and to retire it's public
debt"
In its budget for the year ending
next June 80, the government had
projected expenditures of S8,520,413,-
500. This estimate was cut in to-
days revision to S7752, 1872 900, a
saving of $768, 081 500.
The Federal income had been eS-
timated at 1891 ,904,63 Because
of increased tax rates and higher
tax revenues, this estimate was
raised to $4,470, 349 lao. giving the
government $478,444,50 additional
estimated revenue.

AIR MAIL BILL
PASSAGE URGED
Failure to Aid Lines May
Force Service Halt,
SAYS ROoSe.

Passage in Congress of the Mead
bill for regulation of air mail lines
eventually would mean improved air
service through Indianapolis, Will
liam H. RooSe, American Airlines
local traffic manager, said today
The House is to vote on the bill
Monday.
Mr.. Roose added that, unless air
lines are given relief through pass
age of the bill, many air lines will
be forced to discontinue service be-
cause of heavy operating losses.
The Mead bill provides that fair
and reasonable air mail rates should
be established by the Interstate
Commerce Commission and author
ICES the Postmaster General to put
these rates into effect as of March
l, 1885.
Mr.. Roose asked that Indianapo-
lis residents interested in saving the
air lines wire their views to their
Congressman.
Earlier, TWAS local representa-
tives had entered strenuous protests
against that section of the Mead bill
which provides that, within short
time after passage of the bill, air
lines paralleling lines carrying mail
would have to discontinue service.
This, according to R. G. Petite,
district traffic manager, might mean
curtailment of existing service and
abandoning of proposed service to
Indianapolis. Several firms and the
