CLINTON COUNTY LEADS FIGHT ON TAX VALUATIONS Appeal Sent to Remaining Groups to Protest Assessments. Indiana farmers and property owners were called upon today to battle any attempt of the state tax board to mantain artificial valuations for taxation purposes. Organized opposition through county taxpayers’ organizations and special committees is urged in a circular appeal issued by the Clinton County Taxpayers’ Association, leading the fight. Plans provide for entire delegations to call upon the state tax board and its field men, and demand that the 1927 statute regarding valuations for taxation be adhered to strictiy. Edward A. Stinson of Frankfort, secretary of the Clinton county association, and one of the two Indiana directors of American Taxpayers’ League, opened the campaign with a letter. Speed is solicited because the state tax board has issued a notice that its field men are to meet in Indianapolis Feb. 1 to discuss 1932 revaluation methods. The letter declares that the Clinton association “appeals to tax associations in all organized counties of the state to get in touch with their county assessors and make their demands known, in no unmistakable terms, as to what the taxpayer desires on the question of valuations.” It points out that the assessors will hold conferences with state tax board representatives, and charges

that at these conferences “the state board will give overburdened taxpayers a concrete example of commission dictatorship, unless the pecole formulate an ultimatum in each county.” Delegations should then be sent to the various meetings, the letter says, and a demand be made that the law be followed. The 1927 statute provides that: “In determining the true cash value of real estate, in making assessments for the purpose of taxation, such real estate shall be assessed at its actual cash value, exclusive of any growing crops, vegetables or fruit trees, which may be found growing upon it at the time. Stinson pointed out that farm land values have dropped to new low levels, and assessors are attempting to maintain the valuations at preposterous prices.
