PREPARE GUIDE FOR TAXPAYERS Indiana Taxpayers Association lias Guide For Making Out Budgets Indianapolis, Ind., August I.—Bud-1 gets under which the counties, cities, towns, townships and school corporations of indlunti will niuke their public expenditures in 1925 will be adopted in September of this year, und as n means of Informing taxpayers how

they may proceed under the law to oppose unnecessary or extravagant use of their money, the Indiana Taxpayers’ Association today completed a "Taxpayers’ Calendar and Guide." which will be ready for distribution soon. The publication, which is said to be the first of its kind In the history of the state, covers not only the question of budget procedure, but all of the steps, either by local taxing units or by the state board of tax commission, relating to initial assessment, appeal from assessment, and review of levies and bond issues. Every law or practice affecting either the rights of taxpayers or the volume of taxes of governmental units is described in the guide. One page arranged in calendar form shows how the taxing machinery

operates from month to month, and serves as a quick reference sheet for persons who want to know when any of the numerous steps in tax procedure should be taken. Officers of the state association believe that the handbook will be a convenient and useful source of information not only for individual taxpayers but for public officials, notaries and lawyers. Harry Miesse, secretary of the association, said today that the guide was prompted by a desire to present a birdseye view of all the processes under which taxes are assessed, and at the same time to inform taxpayers what their rights are under the state law and the rules of the state board of tax commissioners. "Many Indiana taxpayers are not informed about their rights under the law. or about the time within which such rights may be exercised,” says the preface to the guide. "Moreover, they often learn of these rights after the time within which they may act has expired.” Some criticism of taxes and taxing procedure results, Mr. Miesse declared. from lack of information about

the remedies which are expressly provided by the law. ’’While the machinery of the Indiana taxing system may not be ideal, it supplies a check which the taxpayers themselves may use on every step in the process of making assessments, levying taxes, raising money by bond issues, and spending the budget,” said Miesse. “The foremost object of the! Indiana Taxpayers’ Association, which! has members and local associations in, many counties, is to get an intelligent control and restriction of public outlay, and to show the taxpayers how they may proceed to stop unnecessary and unwarranted increases in the expenditure of their money.” In its procedure the state association reflects the view of many taxpayers in Indiana that the most effective way to keep taxes down is to scan expenditures carefully disapprove bond issues when the outlay is not justified by the principles of sound and business-like management, and Insist on a prudent administration strictly in compliance with the law, of all current funds* While some students of taxation have succeeded in enacting new forms of special tax .in other states, and proposals for similar legislation crop out at regular intervals in Indiana,

the best thought on the subject, ac- < cording to officers und directors of t the state association, discourages a t | resort to such devices. These special r i taxes inuv be proposed, and gome- < times are earnestly and sincerely vocated by well-meaning persons with' p a bopv of getting more thorough equall-j zutlon and distribution of the tax burden, but in the end they simply ] ’ disclose a new hitherto unused source 1 of revenue, and give more money for | public expenditure, it appears from 1 the experience of other states that t they teud definitely to increase rather ( than to diminish the taxpayers’ bur- . i den. The purpose of the state assocla- 1 tlon is to enlist a large number of tax- *

navers those of modest means aa ’ well as the larger ones—as an effec- ( tive force in the movement to keep taxes down. To make this movement ’ highly efficient, the new calendar and guide is issued as a handbook or indispensable information on how and when taxpayers, individually or by groups, can proceed to help themselves. Necessarily any productive action to Heep levies down, or to halt unwise expenditures, must be taken by taxpayers as groups, and experience has demonstrated that the best medium for this work is the county association, working in conjunction with the state association. The guide tells in short paragraphs about every step in assessment, equalization and review. It specifies the time within which affidavits claim-

ing mortgage exemption must be filed. It sets forth the time of meeting of county boards of review and of the state board, with the work which the latter body performs at each of its four sessions annually. It shows the time at which appeals from local assessments must be taken, either to county boards or to the state board. It describes procedure on the fixing of levies in September, points out how budgets for each government unit in the state must be made according to law, and how appeals may be taken from local levies when citl- ' zen s feel that they are too high and that some of the proposed expenditures are not needed. The guide tells ■ also, how appeals may be taken from • bond issues to which taxpayers ob- ’ ject because they are too large or because the proposed expense is unjusti- . fiable. Numerous subtitles in the guide en- ’ ables readers to find quickly the par- , titular phase of tax law or procedure In which they may be interested. Sec- , retary Miesse says that the association intends to give state-wide circut lation to the booklet. —. o

TIME TO CERTIFY SOYBEAN SEED , Demand For Good Seed In County Likely To Be Great Next Year Applications for the certification of soybeans should be mailed to K. E. j Beeson, of Purdue University, by August fifteenth. According to Mr. Beeson, several applications have already ’ been received frorq growers who realize the importance of certification. The large acreage of soybeans this year and the general satisfaction which the crop has been giving will doubtless tend to create a still largI er demand for seed that is true to . variety next year. This will be es- , | pecially true of Manchu soybean, ' which must show practically 100 per ! cent, black seed sears by 1926 in or- ! der to conform to the standard set by , the National Soybean Committee. Certified seed must be 99.8 per cent, pure as to variety, may contain not to exceed 2 per cent, of cracked
