APPRAISING FOR TAXES:— The new appraisement of your property yon will lir.d to be outrageous. of course, but then all appraisements are that. Taxes will never beeonn satisfactory so long as they continue to be taxes. However, the time is bound to come eventually in

Indiana us it already has come In some other states, when there will bo ull-the-year-’round appraisers on the join men highly skilled in judging valuer Under our present methods there are bound to be many serious error:- in judging values that could be avoided under a whole-time appraising system, although, of course, there is not and never can he such a thing as perfection in assessing propel ty for taxation so long as there are human fallibility and differences of opinion. it is improbable that any a sc -or lias any wish to lie unfair in establishing property values, and as a c/ase assessors do the best they can, but in the very nature of things they must commit errors that occasionally result in unf' liruess to the taxpayer, this being due to tin- system ,n> ire Clef if to anything else. As.-K*&hi»"nf Os property should require a deep knowledge of values and to afqeire this i on tempi,! tes much study by oue whose entire time should he taken up

with that particular work. States that have adopted the alltime appraisement system would not go hack to the old forms of guesswork. Mancie Evening l’ress.

'ROTARIANS PICK NE WDIRECTORS (Continued from Page Oue> Gottschalk Gave Talk lion. Thurman Gottschalk, of Berne • state representative from Adams ami j Wells counties, minority leader In the Tower house of the s'ate legislature for two terms Ond a member of the important finance committee, gave an instructive talk bn state affairs to the Rotarians last evening. Mr. Grill si-balk first discussed the state budget and told bow the finance committee trimmed down the appropriations from $61.009,000 to about $16,000,000. He told how the committee investigated cvry request for and made those asking for appropriations to itemize them in detail. . | Representative Gottschalk, who probably is one of the host informed men in the slate on the condition of the stale institutions, devoted a half hour of this talk to describing conditions found ut the penal and benevolent institutions. Mr, Gottschalk stated that almost without exception the heads of tile various ii'ate institutions were men of high ideals, honesty and integrity and that they were trying to do everything possible to conduct the institutions in a businesslike manner. Mr. Gottsctmlk depleted the need ', for the institution.,, but concluded by saying, “Are we going to continue to pass laws which maye every mis- , demeanor a felony and thy j make felons out of our young boy:." Boys

The insane hospitals are crowded and this condition Is one that the people of Indiana must face he said. Right living and better home envlr(onments will bring about a better condition in this respect, said Mr. Gotti chalk, and he expressed the belief that the way to cor retd much of the lawlesneaa was by starting in the heme. His talk was Instructive and educational and gave tliosp tiresent an Insight into the many important matters facing the state officials. C. T. Habeggcr, manager of the Herne Overdl Company, accompanied Mr. Gottsehalk here and invited the Hotarlhns to the farmers meeting to be held at Herne tonight.
