Predicts Cut In Taxes Paid By Indiana People Indianapolis, Aug. 29 —Prediction of a total cut of $10,600,000 in taxes paid by the people of Indiana, wag made today by Harry Miese, secretary of the Indiana Taxpayers’ League. He said he believed that the amount paid in taxes in Indiana had reached a peak in 1924 and were coming down. In 1924 a total of $124,000,000 were paid for the upkeep of state, city and county governments. This was 410.000,000 more than paid in the previous year and this increase is more than double of the total increase the two preceeding years. Miese mentioned several units where smaller budgets for operation of the government in them fnj 1925 have already been prepared. But, he said, the work of making a $10,000,090 reduction i s yet before the. people of the state through the efforts of the Indiana Taxpayers’ League and the cooperation of newspapers. Last year the people of the state 10. budgets calling for increased ex-1 iwnditures get by not protesting them | at the time. A few of them pro-1 11 -ted to the state L|,x board and in , some cases were successful but in ■ many cases were turned down be-1 cause they had not protested when i 1 1( budgets were being made out. This year, committees are being I P tinned in the various taxing units to 1 P Public officials in making out '■ t budgets and to sit in with conn-, y and cify councils and school boards | being consider-1

ed and to make their protests at that time instead of waiting until the bud gets are passed and the tax levies made out before protesting. Although a view hag been expressed by state taxing officials that the taxes paid in Indiana would be cut next year they were more conservative than Miese. They would not estimate how much cut would be. They had recently expressed an opinion that the state tax rate would be reduced alayit 2 cents from the 1924 rate of 30 cents. o Shoots Self On Rail Os A Lake Steamer (I'nited Press Staff Cori'es|M»ndent) Chicago.

I, I It is now the largest wheat marketi.'ing organization in the state, the anr nouucement said. It has 7523 niemf bers representing 34)0,000 acres of i. i wheat land. Its receipts this year n ■ will total approximately 2.000,000 bus shels according to estimates. One half-of this amount has been received e by the Association and is now in ter1 1 minal elevators. or hag been sold tt> .' mills. e! The association has 342 mills and

elevators receiving the wheat from th< association at country points. Tin wheat is stored in country points and at terminal points like Cincinnati Nashville. Tenn.; Lexington, Ky.; Terre Haute, .and Toledo, According to the officials the usso elation will do the largest volume of bu-ines, ever done l>y any other wheat marketing association for its first year except the association which has been organized in Oklahoma. v Associations similar to the one of the Indiana Wheat Growers’ have been organized in ninany when* growing, states in the United States. Tli ■ purposes of the organizations are for Hie members to take advantage of the time and place demand prices for the wheat instead of dumping it all on the market when prices are low, official.; said. The farmer takes his wheat to the nearest terminal, receives a certificate us to the amount, variety and grade of 'the gralit and then is paid in installments until the wheat pooled by the organization during the season iff sold. — t — () Fire Hazards High In Ft.
