Farm Land Taxation.

A report made to the cpunty assessor by the assessors of the various townships, which was turned into the board of reviews Wednesday morning, shows that the farm land of three townships has been assessed lower than last year. Sharp raises in the aw»ssment of the remaining townships have been made, according to the appraisement turned in to the township assessors.

Linton township shows the greatest decrease,'' according to the assessment lists. Last year the land of this township was assessed at $659,400, while this year the list shows an assessment of only $632,130, a difference of $27,280. Nevlns township was assessed last year at $403,810. while this year the llet shows the assesment to be $397,610, a decrease in valuation of $5,700. Lost Creek township last year was assessed at $850,060, while this year the assessment shows $845,010, a decrease in valuation, of $5,(30-

The matter of the decrease will be presented to the board of review by County Assessor Seeburger and a recommendation will be made by him to increase the assessments considerably, or in proportion to that ahown by the lists turned in from other townships.

Mr. Seeburger said: "This is the same land that has always been there and has been assessed in years gone by. It seems strange that land should not be at least as valuable this year'as last, especially when land in other townships has increased in value. The matter will be presented to the board of review by me and I will recommend the increase In valuation.

The largest increase in valuation shown by the lists turned in by the assessor is in Honey Creek, whose increase amounts to $105,670. Last year land in this township was valued at $932,010, while this year at $1,037,680. The values of land in the remaining townships last year and this follows: 1914 1918.

l4^, .G^»ver said:'' "Referring to statements recently made relative- to lighting -and-power service of the company and the placing of wires underground, it, is not true that the feed wires of the company are rotten, as they are construct^! of copper, which does not rot and so far as the service is concerned, we take pride in stating that we believe pur lighting and power service is surpassed by no city in the state in fact, we h$.ve been complimented by some of the largest electric companies' engineers and customers, on our service. "Lightning and wind Interfered with our service in March, 1913, but the damage was promptly repaired and the lighting and power service has been constant since that time (except in a few individual cases whfcre fuses were blown or some slight temporary trouble existed) until last Wednesday, when wind and lightning caused considerable damage, and the supposition is. that lightning cut one. of our wires In the aljey south of Wabash avenue, interrupting the lighting scrvice for about an hour and a quarter on that circuit. The service would have been repaired sooner, had it not been that the second near-cyclone and rairi compelled the linemen to leave their work for a few minutes, until the force of the storm was over. The rain was in such quantities that the sewers were filled and in that location in question backed up into .the cellars doing considerable damage, and the fact is, If the wires In this location had" been placed underground at that time there would have been much more damage than was experienced, as the copduits would have been filled with water. "While there are arguments both for and against the placing of electrical wires underground, we recognize that there is a general feeling that wires in certain portions of the first alley north and south of Wabash avenue should be placed underground, and we are anxious to satisfy that feeling just as soon as possible. Everybody must recognize that under present conditions we cannot do everything we would like to do. I think I can safely say, however, our company will do its share towards keeping the wheels of business going during the unprecedented conditions, and it is my feeling that there should be co-op-eration and tolerance between all interests and no 'knocking' anywhere."

to destroy French Lick lecause Taggart built it. 'Under the abuse and WTsVepfSsentations by IMavan1- Smith and his hand-picked public officials since the place'1 wtis first opened, it has grown to be one' of the grte'atest resorts of the world, patronized regularly by' the most respected families from the forty-eifcht states and from all the countries of Europe. Of the fortune Mr. Taggart has made by his own efforts," he has given thousands to worthy causes where 'Delavan Smith has not given a five-cent piece. Thomas Taggart does not send out trumpeters to herald his good worksHe does not give to be seen of men as Delavan Smith believes men should give, if they give at all.

Accuser and Accueed.

"Did you ever heax that Delavan Smith did anything constructive for the community? Did you ever hear that Delavan Smith did a worthy act through any benevolent organization or any other way in Indiana? Still he must not altogether hate us for it is recorded that he sent one of his hired men to make a federal affidavit that his legal residence was in Indianapolis, Just preceding election, and when everybody knew he was a resident of Lake Forest, Illinois. "Did you ever hear a man, woman or child tell of a kind act on the part of Delavan Smith or his newspaper? I did—once. His whole force of employes was sent out to tell about It. .Five of the men employed on his newspaper told me the same story within a week, so they must have either been well trained or the story was true. He had given away -$5-0 all at one time. I would tell you about it but do not want to add to the humiliation of the young man and his family who received the $50. Anyone who doubts that he gave away so much money can probably verify the story by writing Delavan Smith at Lake Forest, Illinois. "Here is a story worth while that has never before been published. One of the biggest newspapers of the country sent a-staff of a dozen trained reporters to Indiana to 'te%r Tom Taggart to tatters.' This was to punish him for his support of Bryan, and it was during the campaign of 1908. That staff of earnest, bright young men worked for six weeks under an able leader and with lots of local assistance. They Investigated the business, political and personal record of Thomas Taggart from the day he started with nothing but a Job, going carefully through his record of three, times mayor of Indianapolis, twice auditor of Marion county, and all his record after that time. The work was most thorough with no limit on expense, going over the same ground Delavan Smith and his experts had traversed many times.

The Stopy of a Man.

"Then leaving Indianapolis the man in charge "of that campaign, whom I knew well, came to me and said he had '^ever found a cleaner record of amy man as an individual, as an office holder, as receiver for large properties, as a business man. and as a

good and deservedly popular citizen, than we have found in the record of Tom Taggart. We came- expecting to tod corruption of "the worst sort. In more than thirty years of newspapering and investigating such things I never found a cleaner record in all respects.' "And this is the sort of men that Delavan Smith and his. kind would 'utterly destroy.' And the institutions which they construct he would destroy because the builder has the temerity t*s gt ahead- and construct 'With-no building permit from- Delavan Smith- or- his -newspa-per ,{•: -"Cmt upon this vde^nltkm of- 'freedom of the press' which mean® the" right of .an unscrupulous newspaper to jump astride' the neck of public official^, and througH threats of utter destruction or promises: of alluring political, preferment, to drive them to do the bidding of a vicious newspaper owner who does not even live within the. state, federal affidavits to the contrary notwithstanding. Too long already, and in too many conspicuous instances have the ears of governors and others been held to the ground listening for sounds fropi the office of Delavan Smith, and at the proper signal have these gone out to assassinate the characters of men, women and .children who would not bow to the domination of Delavan Smith of Lake Forest, Illinois."
