RENSSELAER. INDIANA, SATURDAY, JULY 24,

TAX MEASURE IS PUT OVER

SENATE PASSES SUBSTITUTE TAX BILL OVER SOLID DEMOCRATIC OPPOSITION. A. ■ ’ s 1 , - ■ Indiana State Capitol, July 23.— Moving swiftly into the mass of major bills confronting the special session of the Legislature, the Senate today passed the coal commission bill and the home rule tax bill, both important amendments, and the Kiper tax cure bill as a substitute for the Tutliill legalizing bill from the House. Passing a tax bill which the democratic minority declared “would keep the republican majority at home when the legislature meets next January,” the Indiana senate tonight took favorable action on a substitute' sos the tax measure approved by the house. The bill was sent back to the house and will

probably be given to a conference committee tomorrow to Compose the differences contained in the two measures. The bill, which was passed to-night-by a vote of 30 to 11, all the democrats voting in the negative, was written by Senator. Roscoe Kiper, of Boonville, following con“erences with other majority mem>ers and republican leaders. It is designed to meet Vne situation created by the supreme court’s decision declaring invalid the horizonßil increases made by the state tax board in 1919 assessments. Hopes of a speedy adjournment lang now on conference commit;ees, which will try to reconcile the differences of the Senate and the Elouse on the tax cure bill and the lome rule tax bill. - It is reasonably certain that the House will accept without objection the Senate’s amendments to the coal commission bill removing the power to seize mines and vesting the 'regulatory powers of the bill in the public service commission instead of a separate commission.; The only other major' measure remaining on the Senate side is the state world war memorial bill, and the consensus of opinion .among Republicans of that branch is that it will be passed substantially in the form that it left the House, appropriating $2,000,000 for a memorial wilding arid fixing the site as the 'rounds of the Indiana School for the Blind and St. Clair park.' Advocates of a higher appropriation believe that the next regular session of the legislature will authorize an additional sum.

Factors Governing Adjournment. Early adjournment—and many members are hopeful of- clearing the decks completely by Saturday njght—hinges upon the two tax measures. . Leaders in the House are reported to be determinedly opposed 'to concurrence in the Senate’s amendments to home rule, which gave appellate jurisdiction over levies and bonds issues to the judge of the Circuit court instead of the state board of tax commissioners, as was specified in the Johnson bin from the House. Additionally the Senate increased the number of petitioners necessary to get a review of levies and bond issues from fifteen to fifty, and advanced the rate of interest on bonds from 4% to 6 per cent, making the bonds nontaxable. , . . The Kiper bill reported m the Senate in place of the Tuthill legalizing bill, contains all the principal provisions’ of the- bill submitted by the Indiana Federation of Farmers’ Associations to correct the situation caused by _ the Supreme court’s decision nullifying the horizontal tax increases made by the state tax board last year. Some amendments were inserted in the original Kiper bill by the Republican Senate caucus, among thein one providing that if any downward readjustment of valuations for the remainder of this year fails to produce the state’s share of taxes on the basis of the state levy fixed last year, the county shall pay the deficit out of its treasury by appropriation made by the counfy commissioners and the county council. Legalization of Bonds. Another important change worked out in the Republican caucus covert the problem of« legalizing recent bond issues which may be impaired in any general downward revision of valuations. This legalizing amendment as now drafted provides that all bonds shall be validated on the basis of the constitutional limitation figured on the valuations to be fixed by the new re-adjustments—-the effect being, in the opinion or Republican senators, to cause board! of review to accept practically unchanged the horizontal increase ol last year as a means of protecting their outstanding bonds. It is the understanding of the proponents ol this amendment that sentipient u pronounced in favor of accepting the horizontal increases as the ba sis of the new valuation in taxing units where the danger of bond im of u. bill remain as they were in the
