rate the levy might have been Sill
instead of $1.14, it was revealed to-
day.
The minority faction submitted
yesterday to a $1.14 city rate large
ly because they did not wish to
block Mayor Kern'S $3,500,00O pro-
posed track elevation.
Two hours after the vote was
taken, word came from Washington
that the government had turned
down the track elevation program.
Mr.. Olive said today that if the
governments refusal had been
known yesterday morning that he,
Alex C. Byerly and Murray H. Nor
ris, probably would have demanded
a further reduction of cents in
the city rate.
Alan w. Boyd, majority leader,
said that his vote would not have
been altered by the governments
refusal to approve the project. He
said that the $150,00O provided by
the city in its working balance for
track elevation could be carried
over to next year and thus reduce
the 1887 tax levy.
An emergency resolution voldlng
the $3.50 tax limit law was voted
Yesterday after a compromise $1.14
city rate and a Accent county levy
had been passed.
In a statement urging 10 citizens
to appeal to the State Tax Board,
the minority condemned use OF the
County Tax Board as a rubber
stamp approval of budgets fixed by
local officials"
"It is a matter of sincere regret
to us, as three of the seven mem
bers of the board, that it has been
impossible to obtain agreement With
in the board to make reductions IN
the tax rates of the civil city and
the county, which we believe to o.
warranted and which would save the
taxpayers of this city and county
next year more than 100000" the
statement said.

Why Projects Failed

Rejection of the Indianapolis
track elevation and municipal audi
torim projects was explained today
by Public Works Administration OF
flcials.
Both projects met the fate OF
similar ones throughout the United
States, partly because of the scaling
down of the original PWA funds
from a billion dollars to 1927 900, 0O0
Too, construction of such a nature
could not qualify under the rules
made by President Roosevelt in iron
inc out the conflict between PWA
and the Works Progress Admins
tration.
The President required that any
approved project must not have
man-year cost of more than $3.50,
must be under way by Dec. Is, and
completed by one year from that
date.
Cost of materials made the In
dianapolis projects impossible under
the $3.50 regulation and the local
program could not have been put
under way nor completed in the re-
quired time, it was explained.

And after seven years of mother

Which shows that she is a real

GAS FIRM HIRES
NEWTON BAKER
TO PUSH LEASE
City'S Checks Accepted;
Expect Negotiations to
Be AmicabIe.

Newton D. Baker, Cleveland at
torney and Secretary Of War in the
Wilson Administration, has been re-
tanned by the Indianapolis Gas Co.
for negotiations with the city over
new lease, directors Of the COM
pany have announced.
Announcement was made yeSter-
day as the directors accepted two
checks sent by the City Utilities
District and agreed to attempt ami
cable settlement of the terms of
the 99-year lease of the Indianapo-
lis Gas Co. plant and distribution
system made to the Citizens Gas
Co., predecessor Of the municipality
owned utility.
This lease was refused bv the
Utilities District when it took over
the Citizens company Sept. 9. One
Of the checks, amounting TO $171,-
SIS, will cover payment of interest
on approximately 100000 of In
dianapolis Gas Co. bonds, due today.
The other, totaling $4780 is to meet
an income tax payment.
Acceptance of the checks means
default will be avoided on the semi
annual interest on the per cent
indianapolis Gas bonds. Both checks
had been sent to Indianapolis Gas
directors several days ago and re-
turned without comment.
In this latest development of the
local gas situation, emphasis was
placed on an agreement of directors
of both the Utilities District and
the indianapolis Gas Co. that &C
ceptance of the checks would in no
way endanger the rights of either
| party.
Directors of the indianapolis Gas
Co. contend that the lease is in
force and binds the city as operator
of the old Citizens Gas Co. The
Utilities District directors, on the
other hand, assert that The city
should not be bound by the lease,
claiming its terms are not suitable
to a municipality.

Brief Visit With McNutt
In spite of the statement from the
former Chicago investigator, United
States Attorney Michael Igoe of
Chicago said he will oppose Mrs.
Sage's legal fight to escape depor-
tation to Rumania.
For an hour yesterday Mrs. Sage
paced the floor in the ante-room to
Gov. McNutt's office, and finally
was allowed to speak to him for
three minutes.
Defeat showed in her eyes as she
hurried out a side door and at
tempted to avoid reporters and pho

NEUTRALITY AND
PREPAREDNESS
-

Last week President Roosevelt is
sued proclamation warning all
American citizens to abstrain from
travelling on Italian or Ethiopian
ships. Of course Ethiopia has no
ships for Americans to travel on, but
the President used both names in
order to remain on the neutral side.
But while President Roosevelt is
sending out such warning, and
while he is declaring that the United
States must stay out of foreign dis
putes and foreign wars, it is inter-
esting to note that the government is
increasing its fighting forces at the
rate of more than 1000 a month and
that the army has added nearly
$4,000 men to its personnel since July
/. The navy has added more than
$500 to it's enrolment. The increases
were authorized by the recent Con-
gress in its peace-time record appro-
PTidIlOu VI ONcI Cii1SS UlAIiOh OoAoA .
for the army and over four billions
for the navy.
From the foregoing, it would ap-
pear that we are taking steps to keep
out Of "entangling alliances, and at
the same time we are preparing to be
able to defend ourselves if the cause
presents itself. This, in our opinion,
is one Of the surest ways to keep
peace.
If Ethiopia had been match for
Italy in the ways of war, it is safe
to wager that Mussolini would have
been much more cautious than he has
been in planning the present inva-
sion. Italy gives as her reason for
trying to take Ethiopia the fact that
Italians must have more room to
spread out and that there is not suf-
ficient terriory for her. 1t is too bad
that rich little Ethiopia, almost de-
fenseless, was near by.
Roosevelt is quite right in asking
Americans to stay off vessels belong
ing to waring countries. Although
conditions were somewhat different,
we still remember the Lusitania. And
We are right in preparing to defend
ourselves even while We pray for
peace. No country would care to
jump another for fight if she knew
the odds against her were extraordi-
narily heavy.
