By the Associated Press. V DALLAS, Tex., September 16.— George .E. B. Peddy was selected by agclamation 'to be the Independent democratic senatorial nominee to op- pose Earle B. Mayfield, regular dem- ocratic nGminee, late ‘today after a committee caucus had recommended Peddy to the conventiof of Texas in- dependent democrats. R. B. Creager of Brownsville, state republican chairman, told the Asso- ciated Press following the convention that Peddy would be unqualifiedly in- dorsed by Texas republicans as their senatorial nominee. Following the convention, the ré- publican executive comimttee met at a hotel and nominated Peddy as the republican candidat leading issue of the campaign. The democrats have taken an aggressive attitude and put the republicans on the defensive at the outset.. Here are some of the charges put forth by the democrats in their officlal party statement: “In 1916, the last year under Gov. Ralston, democrat, the total state ex- penses averaged $17 for each, voter or_head of family. “In 1921, just flve years later, the average expense for the head of each family was $40. This is an increase of 135 per cent. Other states increas- ed from 33 to 50 per cent in their ex- ponses and a few of them more, but none of them equaled the 135 per cent increase of Indiana. When it omes to raising taxes and spending money Indlana has them all beat “There are approximately 700,000 families in Indiana. In 1916 the total expenses of the Indiana state govern- ment were a little more than $12,000.- 000. In 1921 these expenses were more than $28,000,000. These figures are taken from the yearbdok issued by the_state. “With an_income in 1916 of less than half what it was last year Gov. Ralston managed to save more n $1,000,000 the last year of his administration. In fact, he saved money every one of the four years and pald off the state debt, Living Cost Tsaue. “In ‘1921 the republican adminis- tration, with an income more than double ‘the 1916 income, spent almost 2,000,000 more than it received. 1f it had not been for the big balance bullt up under Ralston the state of Indlana would have been in a bad way financially. “The cost of living in that time has increased about 50 per cent, according to the recent report of the United States Railroad Labor Board, after an exhaustive study. “The cost of 1iving in the republi- can officlal family has increased 135 per cent in five years, a most reck- less and extravagant family of spend- thrifta. "The people of Indlana are paying a premium of $10,000,000 a year for the privilege of having the republi- can machine run the itate. Is it worth the price? 2 “The cause of all this reckless ex- penditure- was the Goodrich tax law | that went into effect in i919. Up to that time taxes had Inéreased in a normal wsy, about in keeping with general living expenses. The first three vears of republican adminis- tration were under the old democratic tax law. (Under it the aggregate amount of taxes collected all over Indiana for all purposes increased $15,000,000 in three years. “Then came along the Goodrich tax law and in a single year the total| taxes collected jumped from $75,000,- 000 to $112,000.000, or a 50 per cent increase in one vear. This Increase of $37,000,000 taxes in one year was| more ‘than the taxes had ever in- creased before in any ten years. “The $37,000,000 Increase in taxes| n 1921 was more than all the taxes| collected in the entire state for all: purposes a dozen years previous. “It is the new boards and commis- sions created under republican rule ! in the last few years that have caused | most of the state tax increase. The democratic_patty pledges to reform these boards and commissions and to bring them back to the purpose for which they were created.” Imagine an Indiana farmer, on his front porch down in Posey county, reading an allegation of republican extravagance such as this item of the cost of furnishing the governors mansion: “On file in the state auditor's office are receipted bills for fitting up this mansion. These bills amount to $19,- 320. Among the interesting items are « grand piano, orlen: gravy boat, costing all fhe state tax paid in by county in June to pay that bill. “Only a partial bill shows furniture | for the rooms to have cost $7,509. Rugs cost $2,314 and draperies $1. Andirons, screens and shovel tongs for two fireplaces cost $149. A waste basket for one room cost $11.50, and another waste basket cost $10. Lest the governor or some of his friends might get mud on the oriental Rush $18. A gas stove was bought $266.50. i “One chair for the chauffeur’s room | in the garage cost $24, while a mir- | ror for the chauffeur’s bath cost! $16.50. Three enameled bath stools | cost $19.50 and a rocking chair for the | garage $16.” | The republicans charges as follows: “The tax law never has had. and cannot leave, anything to do with an increase in taxes. It provides the method of assessing and collecting taxes, and contains provisions of limitations. The only power affecting taxes vested in the state board of tax commissioners by the tax law now in force s to approve or reduce tax levies made by local taxing officers, upon appeal taken by local taxpayers and to approve or entirely denv or to reduce in amount the issue of bonds ordered by officers of the countles, cities, townships and towns of the state. Under the present law the taxes of the citizens of the state can be in- creased only by laws enacted by the legislature = appropriating money, making tax levies, {ncreasing salaries | to be paid by the people and exempt- ing property from taxation, and by the expenditure of money by local officials. fo: counter these Sehool Budget Large. “Taxes have increased because we are now building roads by taxation which were formerly paid for by assessments against those specifically benefited because local authorities | are expending twice as much for! schools, because everything bought | because new purposes for the expen- dituie of public money have been created by law, and because of some slight increase in- salaries pald to officials. " “Taxes are higher partly because the cost of everything is higher and partly because of extensive i provements. Most of the increasesare for schools. roads and other public improvements. More expensive roads are being constructes and more money expended for repairs. More money is being paid to teachers. More new schools are being bullt at higher cost. More children are be- ing hauled to school. Automobfle busses are being purchased rather than wagon: Gymnasiums are be. ing built. Town and city schools and other pubite buildings, parks, and other gubllc improvements ars being added in every county from the general funds, and the expendi- tures for sewers, streets and .side- walks are greatly increasing. How Money Goes. The rebpublicans quote Gov. Ral- ston (democrat) in his message to the .legislature in 1915 as saying: “An examination of the facts will show that out of every dollar of -the general property tax 31.2 cents is paid for education, and 17.8 cents for roads. For these two items alone the sum of 49 cents out of every dollar of taxes is paid, while for administrative gllrpom in the state the sum of 4.2 cents is pald.” Then the republicans say: “This year, out of every dollar.of general property tax we pay 41 cents for education and 20 cents for good roads. For these items alone we pay the sum of 62 cents out of every dollar of taxes, while for adminis- trative purposes in the state we pay o sum of seven-tenths of 1 nt out of zvnry dollar paid or 70 cents out of évery §100 taxes.” {avoided getting entangled in the con- |the firet week he was in office be- T QUITE A LONG WAL FRaM OUR PLACE uP.

BOOTLEGGING AN ISSUE My’ s Third Party Is Turned Down by Former Forester, Despite Threats. Special Dispatch to The Star. HARRISBURG, Pa., September 16.— Pennsylvania’s gubernatorial cam- paign is proving as unusual as wa its primary when Gifford Pinchot tri- umphed over the republican organiza- tion. The campaign is already where it has generally been about the mid- dle of September in normal years, and the Interest is going to be sustained. The smashing of precedents and the taking of Keystone state politics out of the old lines, which it was pre- dicted would follow the passing of Penrose, have all come about, and rather earller than anticipated. Both of the old parties have under- gone a change in leadership, and the militant democrats are going after Gifford Pinchot, undeterred by the prestige of his victory in the battle for the nomination. They are not warring on any one else. They are making a tremendous drive, and it is on Pinchot. Notwithstanding the pre- ponderance of republican votes and the majorities which have been given in recent years, they are campalgning in most vigorous fashion, capitalizing things turned up in the state govern- ment, national conditions and every- thing else, as well as pledging the same thinge as Pinchot. Pinchot on Stum) Pinchot's refusal to accept the nom- ination of the third party, engineered under the heretofore challenging title of the progressives and in the interes of Representative Willlam J. Burke for senator, has taken a good bit of the wind out of the sails of that ven- ture. He did this even when it was represented to Lim that {t might mean 100,000 votes, and in the face of an apathy In regard to registration in the citles that surprsied every one. For the last ten days Pinchot has been on the stump, and has reiterated rything for which he stood in the primary, with the new pledge to clear the highways of bootleggers, in addi- tion to cleansing capitol hill of what he terms the “mess.” In spite of In- fluential suggestions that he refrain from his stand and that he soft- ‘mess” proposition, he has reiterated both. Fe has troversy over the expansion of the educational system, as was hoped by his democratic opponents, but has pledzed his aid to see that the state keeps its contract with the school dis- tricts and pays them their allow- ances promptly. The stale now owes districts $12,000,000, according to ex- t reckoning, which is objected to by some school men, who say all ce; tifications have not been made. Pinchot’s declination of the third party nomination took place at a meeting over which Representative W. W. Griest presided in Lancaster county, most stalwart of the republi- can counties, and where Griest has a fight of proportions on his hands. Pinchot said he had fought for the republican nomination, had won ft, | and would stand as the republican | candidate and nothing else. Direct attacks upon Pinchot as a part of the Sproul adminlistration characterize the democratic speech- making, which runs the whole gamut of criticism of state administration.

Wabster OUT OF OHID ELECTION Socialists and Prohibitionists Abandon Efforts to Get Into Campaign. Dispatch to The Star. COLUMBLUS, Ohlo, Sepfember 16.— There will be no mhlor party tickets on the state ballot n Ohlo this year. The socialiet party nominated can- didates, but being required by law to secure entrance to the ballot by the petition method, failed to eecure the requisite number of signatures, and the prohibitionists have abandoned their effort. Since the adoption of the prohibition amendment the pro- hibitionists have not operated in this st#te as a political party, but this year undertook to resuscitate their! organization with a view to giving support to prohibition enforcement officers. State Chairman W. H. M!ller of the republican campaign committee has been out of the city for the past week and no decision has been made as to the time and place of the formall opening of the republican speaking | campaign. The continuation of sum- mer temperatures has undoubtedly had the effect of materially postpon- ing the beginning of stump work. Mr. Donahey, the democratic candidate for governor, has returned from his | vacation trlp and is now following the county fair clrcult through the state—not making addresses, how- ever, for this is against the rules of the fair societies. Senator Pomerene is filling engage ments to speak before luncheon clubs in the larger cities, made prior to the primary election, and declares his in- tentlon of remaining in the state continuously through the campalgn in spite of the call of the Senate ser- geant-at-arms to return to Washing ton—unless process is issued agains t him. At Cleveland this week he gave out a statement to the effect that he pro- posed to make the new tariff sched- Ules, which he expected to be made into the form of law at once, the ba- sia of his principal addresses in the campaign. What change the halt in the tariff program caused by the boit of republican members of the House on ‘the conference report will make es not yet appear. 5 O watrman Durbin of the democratic state campaign committee claims to be receiving reports from his County chairmen that warrant the most pro- nounced optimism on the part of the democratic leaders. Most of it, he indicates, 18 due to the effect of the work of Congress and the course of the federal administration in the la- bor troubles upon the voters. D. C. MAN HINTS SUICIDE.

As far as that is concerned, Barkley himself has never been averse to the primary method. Can- trill_also probably favors the pri- mary because of his well know abllity as an organizer. He was campaign manager for Wilson in 1916 and rolled up a 25,000 majority for the ticket. While apparently inevitably headed for an out-and-out fight within the ranks of the party, which may result in a straight-out line-up of the wets and d leaders of the democrate deplore the situation as far as party harmony is concerned. 1In the prob- able event that the two “hook up’ Kentucky will not have witnessed such a struggle since the Stanley and Beokham forces lined up for the senatorship fight. Incidentally, it may be said Senator Stanley probabl will adopt a strictly “hands off" atti- tude. Both men have been spoken of as possible candidates for the senatorial nomination against Stan- ley in 1924. e FEDERAL LIQUOR HOLDING 16— TAX NOT COLLECTABLE By the Associated Pres CINCINNATI, Ohlo, September 16.— A ruling that the United States in- ternal revenue department cannot legally collect taxes for the posses- ston of liquor if the possessor had neither manufactured or sold it was passed by Federal District Judge J. W. Peck today. The ruling was made on the demurrer of a man, who had been previously convicted of il- legal possession of liquor, and against whom the government attempted to foreclose @ tax lien of $2,000. The ruling means the loss of thou- sands of dollars yearly to the revenue bureau, government officials say. No redress can be had by persons who have paid such taxes in the past, however, in the opinion of federal officials here.
