Tax Problems Why are taxes such a problem? Why do we have so many different kinds, administered or collected locally, by the state, and even Federal taxes?. Wouldn’t it be simpler for Adams county, or the townships and towns, to level all of their own tax monies? This sounds like a simple solution, but just consider. Our local taxes are property taxes. These taxes have no relation to income; the widow with no income pays the same rate as the millionaire, on their valuation per SIOO. Now suppose we had no Federal or state income taxes. All taxes were collected locally — on property. A new bridge is needed at Pleasant Mills, costing nearly $300,000. How would the money for it be raised? If we had only local taxes, it would have to be raised by property taxes. It would take about a S3O tax rate — which would just about confiscate a good bit of property in the township — to build the one bridge. So, instead, we tax over a larger area, the state and nation. From this larger tax base, and through taxes more closely related to “free” money, or net income, we raise large enough sums to build the roads, bridges, schools, etc., that we need. Just think what kind of bridge would be built at Pleasant Mills, or any other place, if property taxes were the only way to finance it! The poor citizens would have no money left for utilities, or even necessities, after taxes. Remember, we are all a part of all our governmental units. The state and federal governments are not “foreign” — we pay tax money to support them, and we get protection, laws, and a rational distribution of wealth back in return. Nearly every one in Decatur has insurance. Yet these insurance-companies have their headquarters, and show their “profits,” in Fort Wayne, Indianapolis, and cities all over the country. Why shouldn’t the people of Decatur be entitled to part of the tax share from a portion of profit tax—-after all, part of the profit was made from Decatur money? And the same thing is true of every other kind of business with headquarters outside of the taxing unit. Naturally these corporations and their officers are no more anxious to pay more taxes than they absolutely have to pay, and so they frequently complain that “state and Federal taxes are bad, local property taxes are good.” Don’t be fooled!

Fori Wayne Antique Show Sept. 19-22 The Fort Wayne fall antique show will be held September 19 to 22 at the armory. The exhibition will be open from 12 noon to 10 p.m. daily, admission 75 cents. The show is sponsored by the Pi chapter, PM lota Xi of Fort Wayne. It is the 18th show held at the armory. S. E. Leonardson, Decatur, is manager of the show. There will be 50 exhibitors, prinpally from midwestern states of Indiana, Ohio, Michigan and Illinois. Seven dealers from the city of Fort Wayne are exhibiting. This show is the second largest in the state and has become established as one of the top shows in the nation. The exhibit is divided into 50 booths. About 25,000 items, valued at about $350,000, make up the display. Most people find it takes from two to three hours to look over the show. The variety of displays fully covers the field of antiques from bric-a-brac to works of art, from primitives to the finest art glass. A great deal of china, ‘ including American hand, painted, French Haviland, English Staffordshire, German Meissen, American pattern glass, cut glass, carnival glass, and colored glass of the Victorian period, lamps and mantle pieces, brass and copper utensils will be shown. The list includes old jewelry, silverware, coins, guns, clocks, mechanical toys, books and catalogs. Many pieces of furniture will be on display. Os special interest in this fall show will be a booth full of Indiana “Greentown Glass,” exhibited by Mr. and Mrs. Robert Costa of Wadsworth, Ohio. The exhibitors contract prohibits reproductions. New merchandise or gift store items are excluded from the displays. It is the policy of the management that an antique show be confined to antiques. The management believes the current trend is to acquire antiques that have a useful purpose, such as items that can be used as a center of a decorating scheme. Magazines and publications on the subject of antiques are available at the show. Makes Parachute Jump On Saturday Don Ballard, of Fort Wayne, made his second parachute jump Saturday, about 2 p.m. at Gage field, just south of Decatur. Ballard, who is interested in starting a sport parachutist club in Decatur, is a licensed jumpmaster, with nearly 100 jumps to his credit. He jumped from Robert Gage’s Tri-Pacer. Those interested in finding out more about training with the new Decatur sport parachutist club may contact Gage or Ballard on weekends at the local field, or call Ballard at Fort Wayne 426-7099.
