Collections for 1937 are based on 1935 income returns. Valuations Will Be Higher, Predicted The increase in the estimated two-mill' state elementary tax in Marion county was explained at the clerk's office as caused by an anticipated increased assess ed valuation. Based on an expected assessed valuation of $40,000,000 for the county, the reduction would amount to nearly one-half mill. Marion county's combined con tributions to the general .and two-mill elementary state tax funds hare been more than hair ed since 193, the tax commis sion's report to the clerk showed. The two taxes together amount ed to $260,397.04 in 1934, $235,- 803.94. in 1935. $241,202.93 in 1936, and $144,481.41 in the cur rent year. For 1938 they will total enly $125,000. If 1938 collections of Income, intangibles and corporation ex cise taxes by the state, based on 1937 income returns, continue to increase, It may be possible to wipe out the state property levy and also to pile-up a small sur plus for support of the common school, officials , said.

Just before the AFL conven tion refused -to seat Charles P. Howard, CIO secretary, as a dele gate. Howard came to the con vention as a delegate from the International typographical union. Although Howard has been active in. the CIO movement from its start, his union still . Is in good standing with the AFL. The issue turned out to be theoretical. While the roll call was- being taken, Howard was speeding eastward by train to at tend the CIO meeting In Atlantic City, N. J. Debate, however, occupied the ! convention throughout the after noon. Frank Duffy, secretary of the carpenters' union, told the delegates his union insisted How ard be kept out because he had signed a CIO charter for Pacific coast lumbermen. W. R.

Meantime, the convention ap proved without a dissenting vote a resolution calling upon con gress to enact an amendment to the Wagner labor disputes act to prevent the labor relations board from freezing craft unions out of mass production industries. The convention also adopted resolutions favoring freedom for Tom Moon ey and the Scottsboro ease defendants, support for Ethiopia -in driving out Italian troops, a ban on imported theater scenery, a marine hospital for Los Angeles, more money for the senate civil liberties committee, a legal holiday on the Sunday pre ceding Labor day, ratification of the international labor organiza tion's 4 0-hour week convention for the textile industry, extension of the Walsh-Healey act to cover all ' government contracts and a memorial to the late Represen tative Connery (D-Masa.)

He noted that "for most of the country this has been a good year," and that wherever he went he heard optimistic expressions upon the effect upon the nation's general economy of the spending of the ."largest farm Income in many years." He added: "But we have not yet done all that must be done to make this prosperity stable. The people , of the United States were . checked in their efforts to prevent future piling up of huge agricultural sur pluses and the tumbling prices which inevitably follow thenj, "They were checked in .their ef forts to secure reasonable- mini mum wages and the end of child labor. And because 1 they were checked, many groups in many parts of tbe country still have less purchasing power and a low er standard ot living than the nation as a whole can permanent ly allow." 4 Ds Sttafftjarag ITooUasr r Y Hits tLc y iiujo C- Mr"' - ' iitill.it 1- .. a with IAN HUNTER ANITA LOUISE Donald Crisp WrhteaaDirtetedby Ednmad GmiUUis'Mukbr Ma Setner-A FimNrtl Rcwi -.- PRESENTED Br WARNER BRO -. - , - : " ' ' AND HIT XO. 55 f ; A hpCKEY THRILLER!

This activity is coincidental with the calling up of specialists in various conscript classes, and the dispatch of several thousand addtional troops to reinforce the Libyan garrison. An official source said the call of specialists is a routine meas ure, with no bearing on the inter national situation. ROME, Oct. 12. -()-Fascist Italy knuckled down tonight to a four-year plan for intensified de velopment of her resources. While Premier Mussolini was calling on his people to become "autarchy minded," he made it plain his goal was to render the nation virtually free from de pendence on other countries for necessary supplies. This move, however, does not constitute an economic challenge to Italy's neighbors, authoritative sources said. Italy is not inviting a trade war, these sources said, but only is striving to place herself on an economic level with countries having greater resources at their disposal. The relative scarcity of raw materials, minerals and other products makes such a program necessary to achieve equality for Italy, they said. The four-year program calls for development of resources un der four headings: agricultural, raw' materials, such as minerals; energy production; and building material economies.
