POINT Way TO
TAX RATE CUT
C. of C. Urges Surplus Be
Used in Reduction of
1886 Levy.

innocent reduction in the taH
rate of governmental units of Mar
ion County for 1886 is possible if ar
estimated S500,00O in additional
taxes collected for 1885 is not
squandered in additional appropria-
tons during the present year.
This was the contention OF the
governmental research bureau OF
the Indianapolis Chamber of Com
merce today at it pointed out that
based on taxes collected IN the
spring the collections from taxpay-
ers should approximate one-half
million dollars more during the
present year than estimated when
the 1885 budgets were made in 1884
IF this surplus Is preserved and
not dipped into for new spending
plans this year it would take 9 or 10
cents from the threatened 52-cent
tax rate increase for next year" the
statement said.
The bureau report showed that
s276,477 in excess of anticipated
taxes was collected in the spring
The civi1 city received $100,562 Of
the increased tax collections; the
school city $63,415 and the county
SIP, 500.
The collection is based on both
current and delinquent taxes.
The research bureaus bulletin
points out refinancing of homes by
the HOLC will mean increased pay
ment of delinquent taxes with the
result that in 1886 collections should
be 100 per cent of taxes levied.
Walter G. Boetcher, city control
Ter, announced that the city market
house budget is $20,508, an increase
of $685. over last year This in
cludes a $3.50 salary increase for
Paul w. Lindeman, market master,
whose present salary is $1,000.
Cuts were shown, however, in
appropriations asked by three city
departments. The Works Board
asks $76,121, a cut of $500; the
municipal garage, $48.222, a drop of
S2777, and the Barrett Law Depart
ment, $12. $50, a decrease of 5000.

MEXICO CRACKS
DOWN ON NAILS
CardenaS Moves to Drive
Bitter Anti-CathoIiC Out
of Power.
Copyright. 1885 by United Presal


MEXICO CITY, July 24.-Presl-
dent Laza1o Cardenas struck swift
~ today to break the 15-year
dictatorial rule of Thomas Garrido
Canabal, Mexican Nazi leader, in
Tabasco state.
Coincidentally, he prepared to tell
Gov. Rafael Villareal of Tamaulipas
state-besieged IN his palace at
C1udad Victoria by 5000 angry
peasants and liberals-to quit or be
fired.
It was President Cardenas' first
dramatic use of the undiSputed
leadership he won by defying Gen.
Plutarco Elias Gales, Mexico's
strong man." and sending him into
retirement when Gales denounced
the 40-year-old presidents policies
as too radical.
Determined that Garrido Can
abars dictatorship should end, he
suspended the normal powers of
Tabasco state, replaced the governor,
and named a new state military
commandant with orders to see that
in approaching state elections there
was a fair chance for all.
Carrido Canabal is the bitterest
anti-Roman Catholic in Mexico. He
holds no Office but for IS years he
has held the state in his personal
grasp. There is not a Catholic
church operating in Tabasco. He is
the organizer and leader of the Nazi
Red Shirts"
1t was predicted freely that the
Nazi leader would flee the country.
