NEW SNAG SEEN IN TAX REFUNDS County Commissioners Refuse Claim of John Harcourt, Further delay in settling the fight cn whether Marion County tax payers are entitled to a refund following horizontal increase ordered in 1919 by the State tax board in assessments being declared illegal, occurred today when county commissioners refused tc allow the claim of John R. Harcourt. Harcourt, a farmer in Washington Township, demanded a refund of $451.93. His case claim was appealed to Circuit Court as a “test case.” Commissioners refused payment on the advice of Emsley W. Johnson, county attorney, who said the county has no fund to meet such claims. The Circuit Court recently gave two taxpayers judgment against the county on the same question, which was appealed to the Appellate Court. William Bosson, a Washington Township farmer, has been paid a refund of $2,500 on his victory of a “test case" on the question in the Supreme Court. Forty claims are pending before commissioners, and 6,000 more will be filed before next spring, Bosson said. OBSERVES LAW; INJURED Compliance with the law resulted in Charles Evans, colored, 115 Adelaide St., being in the city hospital today. Evans stopped at the boulevard at Wall Creek on Meridian St., Tuesday night, and killed his engine. He got out of his machine and started to crank It. The machine, which he had forgotten to throw out of gear, darted forward, catching Evans between the radiator and a large tree.

1. Payment of approximately a billion and a half gold marks yearly. 2. Settlement of the exact terms to be left to an International conference. Contents of the document will be officially divulged upon receipts by the allies. Tax to Raise Money It is learned authoritatively, however, Cuno has proposed the reparations amount be raised In the following ways: Consumption taxes on such commodities as tobacco, sugar and brandy and a customs monopoly on the same three. These taxes, it is estimated, would provide 400,000,000 gold marks a year. Flotation of a gold mortgage amounting to 10,000,000,000 marks at 5 per cent interest against the railways, yielding 500,000,000 gold marks annually. Legal mortgages on Industrialists, factories, land owners totaling possibly 10,000,000.000 gold marks, which it is contended tvould yield another 500,j 000,000 gold marks. Property Tax Proposed A special property tax which it is hoped would provide 100,000,000 gold marks a year. Asa safeguard on these sources of revenue the note says the German government reserves the right to provide funds from any other source should any of these mentioned fall. The note suggests final settlement of such a great question as reparations cannot be reached through interchange of notes. Hence it is advisable to summon a conference to , discuss differences.
