Goodrich has proclaimed that the fi new tax law is a most remarkable 0 piece of “constructive" legislation. f £ And the more one studies the figures gl of the new' tax law as it applies to m the governor, the less one is amazed w at his support of the new law For the purpose of throwing light on this subject, we quote from the Tinies as w

follows: ‘ The Jefferson Water, Light and Power company is assessed for taxation by the state tax board at $170,ovu. The Jefferson Water, Light and Power company is valued for rate making purposes by its directors in a report to the public service commission at $274,662. The Jefferson Water, Light and Power company has among its directors, according to ittreport to the commissioners. J. P Goodrich and J. T. Moorman. James P. Goodrich is the governor of Indi ana, who forced the tax law through the republican legislature and there by conferred jurisdiction over the as sessments of his company on a board of tax commissioners which he later appointed.” The difference between the valuation of the Jeffersonville for taxing purposes and the valuation it attempts to establish for rate making purposes is $104,662. Based on the tax rate of Jeffersonville, the company in which Mr. Goodrich is a director saves about $3,000 a year in taxes, yet the people are paying rates for the product of the company on the valuation turned into the public service commission. — Huntington Press.
