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.

fore a meeting could be held.
"Meantime, our door stands
open with the assurance that any
unit of the CIO wishing to return
may do so without stipulations or
conditions."
Executive Council
To Reply 'Formally
Green said he spoke "official
ly" and, be assumed, for the ex
ecutire council, but that no reply
would be sent to the .CIO before
the council considered the CIO
message.
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. Trotter,
a printers' delegate, led Howard's
defense .with a statement that re
fusing to seat Howard would be
a slap at the entire printers'
union, .
Howard Sarcastic
On Majority Kale
Howard left town fully expect
ing the convention would refuse
him a seaj. Just before he went,
be said la a statement that the
convention's . delay in acting on
his credentials was "added evi
dence of the 'democracy and ma
jority rule' about which the presi
dent of the AFL has prated so
much but practiced so little."
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.)
ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., Oct.
12.ff-John L. Lewis' Commit
tee' for Industrial Organization
asked the American Federation of
Labor today to Join it in a con
ference to seek a common ground
for a unified labor movement. -
In making the proposal, how
ever, 150 leaders of unions af
filiated with , the CIO loudly en
dorsed this statement of Philip
Murray, chairman of their reso
lutions committee: -'
"Tour committee does not be
lieve that there la any moral Jus
tilication for compromise on, the
part of the CIO, upon tUese broad
principles of industrial union
ism," announced when tbe . or

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."

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.
