Man Diverted Funds,

The removal of Lawrence F..
Hoeltze, assessor of Wayne Town
ship, Allen County, was ordered
today by the State Tax Board.
After an investigation by the
State Board of Accounts it was
charged that the assessor had di-
verted part of $4,000 he had collected
from dog taxes Philip Zoercher
chairman of the tax board, wrote
an order calling upon the sheriff
of Allen County to remove him
Immediately.
The accounts board also charged
that Mr.. Hoeltze had hired deputy
assessors, who were not employed
during the regular assessing pc
ricd but had worked before and
after that time, On promises that

much as the value of bonds issued
to veterans-s2, O0o,0O0,0 900 or more.
If half the veterans cash their
bonds Immediately the debt will be
reduced by about $1,000, 900. 900 by
the process of paying that sum
through poStofice windows and re-
firing the bonds. The question for
Mr.. Roosevelt to decide is where
that money is to be had-from the
TreaSury's. working balance, from
the $4,000 100000 sterilization fund,
from new taxes or borrowing.
Court Creates Problems
If by political miracle the bonus
is defeated there remain the prob
lens raised by the Supreme Court.
The opinion declaring the Agricul-
tural Adjustment Act unconstitu-
tional left Mr.. Roosevelt with
100000 more AAA moral obliga-
tons" to farmers. These will be paid
but how?
Furthermore, Mr.. Roosevelt had
estimated AAA income this fiscal
year at 1929 100000 OF which only
$50, 100000 had been collected as of
Nov. 80. None of the currently out
standing balance will be paid into
the Treasury.
For next year Mr.. Roosevelt esti-
mated AAA revenue at $547, 900, 600.
None of that will materialize. Most
of it would have gone for AAA
benefit payments but any residue
might have been available toward
balancing the Federal budget.
Another Great Blow
The court clipped another
5000, 900, 1000 from Treasury prospects
yesterday. 1t ruled that processing
taxes held in escrow must be re-
funded to professors. All professors
who had courage and foresight to
obtain injunctions against AAA
taxes now find their judgment vim
Dictated and their bank accounts en-
riched.
Professors undoubtedly will sue
to regain the S1,000,0O0,O0O or so of
AAA taxes paid without protest.
This sum has been distributed to
farmers. The outcome of those suits
is uncertain.
With the foregoing legal and leg
islative amendments to the 1897
budget it ceases to become a vital,
living document and retains only
one historical Importance. The true
budget for 1887 will be revealed only
after President Roosevelt has de-
cided how to meet the new ex-
penditure load and whether work
relief appropriations for the next
year shall be 100000 or $2,oOO,-
100000.

Norris Attacks Court
By United Press

By united Press
WASHINGTON, Jan. IA con-
greSsional drive to curb the powers
of the Supreme and other Federal
courts won fresh support today with
declaration by Senator George w
Norris R., Neb) that only by this
method could a new farm aid pro-
gram be protected against attack.
Senator Norris declaration came
as both House and Senate agri-
cultural committees studied pro-
posals designed to replace the in
validated AAA.
Meanwhile, the House Agriculture
Committee reported favorably the
Jones bill for a domestic allotment
system to be made effective in con-
nection with soil conservation plan
1t would authorize loans not exceed
ing $500 to farmers for cooperating
in the crop production control pro-
gram or on proof they are not in
juring that program.
Committee study of AAA substi-
tutes indicated little of startling
nature was under consideration.
President Edward A. O'Neal of the
American Farm Bureau Federation
urged prompt enactment of a Law
to prevent recovery of processing
taxes already paid.

JOBS ARE ABOLISHED
BY C|TY'S GAS FIRM
Nearly 70 Lose Posts and
More Nav Follow,

Nearly 10 employees of the Citizens
Gas and Coke Utility have been dis
charged in the past week and more
reductions il personnel may follow,
Thomas L. Kemp, manager, said to-
Gay.
The reductions are strictly in the
interests of efficiency and are the
result of survey which showed an
overmanned condition" Mr.. Kemp
said.

arrests for drunkenness over the
accurately reported statistics during
the final year of prohibition.
Percentages again tell an inter-
esting story" says the bulletin, "fol
the percentage of intoxication cases
to the total population in 1884 was
GOA per cent as compared to 90;
per cent in 1880 and 1928, to .003 ir
1925 and to .006 per cent in 1915
when local option had begun te
make itself felt"
The brewers survey, in discussing
drunken driving arrests, says 145r
persons were arrested on the charge
in 1884 and that this figure was the
lowest since 1927.
In 1928, at the heighth of the
boom and prohibition, 1909 persons
were charged with drunken driving
and the peak was reached in 1925
when 2453 persons were slated foI
that offense," the bulletin charges.
Only 40 Per Cent Penalized
"ln 1929, the percentage of drunk
en- drivers to the registered automo-
oiles was .0033 per cent or about one
third of one per cent whereas in
1884 the percentage of drunken driv-
ers, based on ratio of the registered
cars, was 0021 or about one-fifth OF
one per cent" added the bulletin.
The bulletin ayers that aside from
drunken driving, liquor law viola
tons do not carry ahigh penalties
and that records show that only AZ
per cent Of those charged with liquor
law violations are fined, or impris-
oned. The remainder are acquitted
dismissed or released with suspended
sentences"
THE conclusion is unacceptable
that conditions are better under le-
galized control of the alcoholic bev-
erage traffic than they were during
the prohibition era. People now
have access to beverages of lower al
coholic content. The hard drinking
of prohibition days is over and the
result reflects in the crime rate" the
bulletin concludes.
Charges Youths Drinking
Mr.. York, in replying to the bulle-
tin, points out that in the city OF
Bloomington, which houses the In
diana University, intoxication has
increased from 80 arrests in 1882 to
252 arrests in the first 10 months
of 1885.
He declares high school students
and collegians are drinking more
than ever before and points to the
revels in indianapolis on New Years
eve as showing that women too are
drinking more than they did during
prohibition.
They tell me more women were
carried out of clubs in an intoxi-
Gated condition this New Years in
indianapolis than men. AS for the
police, they could double the arrests
even under our present laws, if they
desired to do so" Mr.. York said.

ter days are ahead for the livestock
producers, DR.. Andrew Boss of the
University of Minnesota said today
at the featured meeting of the an
nual Purdue University Agricul-

Feed supplies are abundant and
livestock supplies are limited, two
factors favoring the specialized

raising is a BUSINESS proposition,
however, and not one for the in

Highlights of today's session were
annual meetings of the Indiana
Farm Management Association, at
which DR.. Boss was principal
speaker. and the Indiana Potato
Growers Association.

British OFFER
LOAN TO PARIS
Military Support Is Hinted
in Reported Tender of
Financial Help.

By United Press
PARIS, Jan. 14.-Great Britain is
negotiating to grant France a short
term loan of approximately
1000, 100000 francs 1924 ,800,O OO) for
either political or military support,
according to reports in British and
American quarters today.
The loan, reports said, would car
~ a per cent interest rate.
1t is understood the offer came
from England, but that the Bank of
France appears reluctant to assume
such obligation despite the fact that
in the past the institution did much
of its borrowing in the London
market and that the French treas
ury is in need of such aid.
No reason for the offer was re-
vealed in early reports, but it was
rumored later that either political
or military clause was involved.
