MANY COUNTIES SHOW INCREASES IN STATE TAXES McCray-Goodrich Connection Pointed by Papers in Small Towns. NONE FINDS DECREASES Indiana taxpayers are blinking their eyes as they glimpse the new levies in various counties of the State. Not a county is exempt from the beneficent effects of the Goodrich tax law, but all show increases over the last levy. Here are some examples: 1 White County next year’s tax rate "has startled the taxpayers,’’ according to the newspapers of the county. The increase will total more than $250,000 over last year's amount. Both Republicans and Democrats are asking "hasn’t the sky been reached vet?" But the sky has not been reached. In every township and in every c9unty the State tax board has chopped and lopped levies for necessary expense to make a good showing until after the election. Then, when there is no more need for eecrecy and covering up, the taxpayer will get it full in the face next spring—he will know what he really has to pay. In Carroll County the taxes have been boosted more than 40 per cent. The Increase to be paid Is $"50,605.91. The board fixed the State levy at 20 — next year the State will spend $10,000,000 more than It spent this year. Carroll County alone will pay the staggering total of $847,972 next year into the county treasury. It has been figured that this year a man who pays SIOO taxes in that county will pay $l4O next year, and so on. It is noted that the Republicans are In control of this county. In Sullivan (city) the interference of the Goodrich tax board forced the council to make a levy of $1.12 as compared with 49 cents before. Over in Madison County, at Anderson, the city will have to dig up SIOO,OOO extra next year over the amount of this year. The rate this year is SI.BO and in 1921 it will be $2.30, with a poll tax increase of from $3.50 to $4.50, all the result of the Goodrich tax law that Warren McCray is defending. In Shelby County the townships show an increase of from 24 cents to 65 cents on the SIOO for next year. In Whitley County the levies in ail the units go to show that they have been manipulated for political purposes and are Increased from 25 cents to as high aa 85 cents on the SIOO in some townships. In Jay County the newspapers call on the taxpayers to "read the new rates and weep.’’ The total rata for Portland, the county

seat, is $2.75, or 81 cents on the SIOO higher than the 1920 levy. The county levy was increased la proportion. In Boone County the taxpayers are going to be compelled to “dance some" to meet the demands of the Goodrich tax law, the increase ranging from 10 to 20 cents on the average. In Et. Joseph County the increase next year will average at least two-thirds more than it was last year. The old rate was $1.71; next year it will be $2.41%. In Wells County the rate fixed for 1921 is $3.61 on the SIOO, an Increase of $1.51 over the old levy. Taxpayers of Wells who want more of this same kind of medicine are advised by the newspapers to vote for Warren McCray, pledged to carry out the Goodrich principles. In Stark County the tax duplicates are telling the farmers some mighty interesting figures on the Goodrich law. The State levy has been raised from 18 cents to 20 cents and this following an increase of 300 per cent in 1918. In Daviess County all the taxing units show a stiff increase in rate over last year. , In Daviess County all the taxing units show a stiff Increase in rate over last year. .. In Henry County the increases average 25 per cent higher than last year, and the total amount of taxes collected next year will be $210,000, as compared with $168,000 last year. The Democratic party has made solemn pledge to the people to repeal this tax law and enact one that is just and equitable to all.
