secretary of the taxpayers association, "the payment of delinquent taxes virtually offset current delin- . quencies but that has not been true |of the last year or two and it is , not likely to happen within the near future. While such a condition exists, a tax levy based upon budaet items and the total taxables of any governmental unit, does not necessarily mean that the sums needed will be raised. When people are unable to pay their taxes, anticipating revenue from such sources becomes nothing less than a form of official speculation. However, there is no guess work about what actually has happened, as the records in tho office of the Auditor of State show. In 1931 the total delinquent ——

[taxes in Indiana amounted to 913.- 1 .421,889 and that sum was 9.2 per •jeent. of all the taxes due for that year At the end of 1932 the delin- :, quent taxes had mounted to >25,<107,446.51, or 17.8 per cent, of all I i taxes then due. The increase in I i delinquencies lor 1932, over 1931, ! was 86,3 per cent, for the state at I large. This percentage of increase, | comparing the two years just ended, ranged all the way from 15.1 per cent., in Martin county and 17.8 ■ per cent., in Jennings county, to 204.5 per cent, in Fayette county. - Other counties showing large in- • creases in delinquencies, together with percentages of increase tn 1932 over 1931, were: Bartholomew ,143.2, Benton, 127.3. Boone, 112.9, ; Clinton, 119.9, Elkhart, 148.6, Huntlington, 103.3, Kosciusko, 109.6, Lagrange. 119.2. Lake. 151.8, 132.1, Miami, 164.8, Morgan. 109.3, Newton, 113.7, Pcrter. 107.9, Hush, ,107.2, Shelby, Hi, Whitley, 103.7. "Delinquent taxes tnte tn the I larger counties at the end of last | year were as follows: Allen, >1,070,,806.12, or 15.3 per cent, of the tollal due; Lake, >5,794.159.72, or 35.8 [per cent.: Marion, $1,962,788.70 or j!».3 per cent., St. Joseph, >1,540,1964.91, or 19.5 per cent. Counties with less than 10 per cent, of their ' 1932 taxes delinquent included Adjams, Bartholomew, Boone, Carroll. I Decatur, Franklin, Fulton, HendI ricks, Jackson. Marion. Marshall, | Montgomery, Putnam. Randolph, | Ripley, Rush. Tippecanoe and Uniion. Knox county, at the other extreme, showed 50.5 per cent, of all jtaxes due aiy having gone delini quent for last year. The percents | age in Lake county- was 35.8, and jin Spencer county it was 43. Many , counties showed a loss in collec- | tions of 25 per cent, or more, due :to delinquencies. I “We can see no hope for an immediate improvement in the situation. Tlte recent session of the

'general assembly attempted to relieve the citizen who was unable to pay his taxes and it provided in an act now in effect—due to an j emergency clause—that any taxpayer who availed himself of the ' provisions of the new law might elect to assume a penalty of 4 per cent, interest and then take twenty years to pay off his delinquency. This virtually applies the principle of the Barrett street improvement law to taxes ge..erally ang while it may prevent the sale of property upon which taxes have gone or will go delinquent, it complicates further the task of anticipating how much actual revenue a tax levy will produce. "Public officials who will have to prepare budgets and levies this year have been applying to our organization for advice and assistance and we are happy to extend to them the facilities of our research department, but when our advice is boiled down it consists of a warning that further economies in the operation of governmental units will be imperative. We now have on the records of the various counties almost as much money due in delinquent taxes as was required to operate the state government not so many years ago and we also have to face the possibility that this total will be materially increased this year. We are suggesting to taxing officers that they hesitate about entering into contracts calling for large expenditures for public funds when they are unable to estimate what their levies will produce for the succeeding year. Where possible we believe it will be more practicable and a great deal safer to act with the ut;nost caution because of this time nobody can tell how much of the taxes levied last year and payable In 1933 actually will be paid, and officials encounter the same difficulty in trying to forecast what their income will be in 1934. If delinquent taxes continue to increase within the next year or two with Hie same rapidity that they have mounted in the lust two years, the outlook is not encouraging. Such a situation calls for the practical application of the proper economic remedies and that means'reducing governmental expenditures, at every point possible.’’ Figures on Adams county are: 1931 delinquencies, >34,271.78; per cent of total levied, 3.9%; 1932 delinquencies. >41.162.48; per cent of total levied. 5.8%; increase of 1932 over 1931, 20.1%. Alien county: 1931 delinquencies, >628,182.95; per cent of total levied, 8.7’;;.; 1932-*delinquencies, >l.070,806.12; per cent of total levied, , 15,3%; increase over 1931, 70.4%. Kelts county: 1931 delinquencies, l $51,248.86; per cent of total levied, 6.5%: 1932 delinquencies. >80.839.I 87; per cent of total levied, 10.8%; increase over 1931, 57.8%. o CARD OF THANKS We wish to thank the neiglilxirs and friends, the Loyal Daughters class of the Evangelical Sunday School for the kindness shown us during our sad bereavement, the Women of lhe Moose, General Sunday School classes and friends for the beautiful floral offerings and I ears furnished.
