Unit tax rates on 1100 of aMenned valuation range from $1.68 in Lawrenceburg township. Dearborn county, to $12.86 in New < hteago. Lake eounty. The rate for 1960 in Adams Will range from $2.68 in Blue ( reek township to $6.25 in Decatur-Waahington. Increases in tax unite in the county varied from a decreate of 12 cents in Blue Creek to an increase of -70 cents in Union township, as follows: Blue Creek $-.12 Union / $ .70 French < .47 Wabash .17 Hartford 23 Washington -36 Jefferson .33 Berne -35 Kirkland 22 Decatur-Root .34 Monroe .47 Decatur-Washington .39 Preble .54 Geneva . .33 Root -23 Monroe-Monroe .43 St. Mary's .26 Monroe-Washington .29 Blue Creek township was the only unit with a decrease in Adams county this past year. The county as a whole will increase $203,100 in the amount collected. Only six counties in the state will decrease —Brown, Jay. ' Ohio, Tipton, Union, and Wayne. Neighboring Wells county will increase by $55,713, while Jay will decrease $12,513. The property tax was established in Indiana more than 100 years ago, when all wealth in the state w’as in property, and only property owners had money. At that time, farmers produced most of the wealth in the state on their farms, and therefore taxing the farm was the only sensible answer to raising taxes. But in the past 100 years the economic picture in the country has changed completely. Wealth today is not expressed solely or even principally in individual real and personal property ownership. Most wealth today is controlled through corporate structures. The stocks themselves are not taxed by the property taxes. Today, the retired widow who owns her own home pays taxes year after year. The farmer with eighty acres who must work on another job may well pay more taxes on his farm than his city boss, who owns stocks and bonds, pays. People keep asking their government units, local and state, to provide more services. These services, in turn, must be paid for. A tax which is more equitable than a property tax to all of the people affected must be found. - ... 1—

S savnga i bonds. These are the little bonds which . the government began to put out , In 1935 for purchase by the little people of the United Statea, the common man. Writing in the weekly "Human Events," Buffett ‘ estimates that the rotting cl the ■ dollar has cost these little investors about 21 billion dollars of their principal and Interest. That !is more than half, in terms of ( I value, of their entire stake. Inflation Dwi Plenty | Their bonds still are worth the same number of dollars, of course • but the rotting dollar is worth ' i something less than 50 cents.

I That was a miserly rise and unt fair, Buffett contends to the lit--1 tie investor. To demonstrate this unfairness, r Buffett compared government’s I treatment of the little Investor • with its treatment of four other groups hard hit by the high cost 1 of living whose income also deJ pends directly upon Congress, r Congress recognized the impact of inflationary costs on these other groups,jCongress was relatively generous with them, for example: Examples Listed - —U.

Kenneth Lawson On Most Wanted List WASHINGTON <UPI» — Kenneth Ray Lawson, a menacing psychopathic desperado. was placed on the FBl’s list of 10 most wanted criminals today. Lawson, who has been nicknamed “Kenno' and “Cigar Man" by the underworld, is described by police authorities as “a shrewd, daring and very dangerous criminal." He has been the subject of a nationwide search since he and four companions escaped from Tennessee state prison at Nashville last April 22. While Lawson is essentially a highly accomplished burglar, the FBI warned that he has threatened the lives'. of police, carries carefully concealed hand guns and has become desperately violent when cornered. The 32-year-old fugitive who often sports a arew-cut has been ■ diagnosed as “a psychopathic personality with a superior intelligence." the FBI said. While in the service, Lawson served two years in a disciplinary barracks for desertion and escaped and was dishonorably discharged from the Air Force. ' He had a police record in Mt. Clemens. Mich., before being Mrested at Limestone, Tenn., in August, 1956, for the burglary of a hardware store. While his sentence was being appealed, Lawson and an accomplice were trapped inside a supermarket m the midst of a burglary. Lawson’s daring was exemplified by a previous break-out from Brushy Mountain Prison at Petros. Tenn. According to the FBI. he was halted from scaling a prison wall by a guard’s gun fire, but broke across the yard through a hail of bullets to gain freedom over a second wall. Recaptured, he made his subsequent escape from the Nashville penitentiary through cunning. He and his companions built a false wall in a railroad freight car in the prison grounds and were transported to fr ® c< ' ol pLawson was last spotted m Li Paso, Texas, on Aug. 24 when he successfully eluded a police purThe newcomer to the most wanted list is a native of Esserville, Va. He stands between 5' 10” to 6 and weighs from 170 to 185 pounds. He has a medium 'build, light brown hair, ruddy complexionand blue-gray or hazel eyes. Lumpless Plaster „ It isn’t so much what you use as how you use it that sometimes makes the difference between success and failure. If you’ll add your plaster to the water, instead of adding the water to the plaster, your mixture will be free of lumps.

If your hsoes feel tight, the best reducing treatment is a foot bath in epsom salts. The formula is: Four teaspoonfuls of salt, two quarts of water. Soak the feet for 30 minutes.

His bow “Should be a slight bending forward from the waist with feet together, but not too pronounced, not stiff, and without any heel-clicking.
