Leaders Discuss Indiana - Program in Session "Here Today.
‘Plans for operation of an NYA program in Indiana schoals this year were discussed today by an NYA student aid advisory council. The council, appointed by various Indiana teachers’ associations, was to confer with Quentin D. Wert, State director of the student aid ‘program, at a luncheon meeting at -the ‘Indianapolis Athletic Club. ‘State Allotted Fund
: A sum of $341,946 has been allotted Indiana for the secondary school aid program in 1939-40. Students are chosen by school authorities on
the basis of need, and must carry at|
least three-quarters of a normal study course. Authorities also will ‘plan and supervise their work. ‘Today's discussion was to center around details of operation in the program for students between the
ages of 16 and 24 in 800 secondary; schools. Last year there were 7000] ‘persons on NYA projects in the|
‘state’s secondary schools.
Students do work which does not}
replace any of the school’s regular employees. They assist professors, perform clerical and office duties, assist in libraries and laboratories and provide recreational assistance.

FINAL FARM BUREAU TAX SCHOOL AUG. 24
Tax experts of the Indiana Farm Bureau and Indiana Taxpayers’ As.sociation will be called in for a final day’s schooling Aug. 24 before embarking on a statewide series of

STATE TO GHECK ON BURIAL LOTS
Tucker Condemns Actions Of Unlicensed Agents In Securities Field.
Sale of cemetery lots by unlicensed salesmen who promise buyers profits was condemned as illegal today by Secretary of State James M. Tucker. “These salesmen take as pay for the lots depreciated securities and this brings the transaction within the jurisdiction of the State Securities Commission,” he said. “The Commission is not concerned with the legitimate sale of cemetery lots. It is only when the lots are sold as an investment with representations as to profits that the securities act becomes applicable.” Two salesmen of cemetery lots were arrested last week and pleaded uilty to charges of violating the Indiana Securities Law in Peru. Mr. Tucker said investigations of 11 such sales will be made by Commission agents in every county in the state.

An Important Message to Taxpayers From the Citizens Tax League
® Indianapolis Tomorrow—is to bs your home and my home. It cannot go ahead and develop any more abundant life for us under the present load of taxes. * ow. ® We MUST pay taxes on everys thing we use and eat and wear and see—Federal and State and County and Township and City taxes. But we elect our officials to operate each of these divisions of government ECONOMICALLY, and EFFICIENTLY. Every official is elected to serve us—the public. As a most vital part of this serve ice to Indianapolis Tomorrow, we insist Taxes MUST Be Lower!
* * *
® Back in 1933, when our legis lature added the burden of the Gross Income Tax, we were proms ised property tax rates would be limited to $1,50 per hundred. But the 1938 rate was $3.20 and 1939; was $3.21. Our homes and living and jobs and business in Indian. apolis cannot stand this rate.
* * * 1
® The Citizens Tax League is an organization of taxpayers of Mars ion County to INSIST on ECON. OoMY EFFICIENCY in every
department of our government.
Its program is covered in four
words — "Taxes MUST Be LOWER!" It represents no politics or class or creed beyond that purs pose. We, ask you to join in this work of informing every. citizen and official of this Tax Crisis we have reached here and now! * * * ery ® If you owned a home and pera sonal property valued at $5,000 in 1927, you paid taxes of $131 on it and no Gross Income Tax. Now on $5000 you pay $160 plus Gross Income taxes and a lot of other taxes which you were proms ised would reduce your property
tax. i kk kk *
® You, meaning every man and woman and child in Indianapolis, owe about $420. That is
our share of government debts which have grown-fromr $226 in 1930. * * * ® You owe $325 for your Federal Government, $41. for your Civil City, $28 for your schools, $10 for Jour County and $15 for poor reief. Someone has to pay these bills sometime. Perhaps you can get someone else to pay them for jou but the chances are you will ave to pay even more.

® Last year the total charity and welfare costs in. Marion County paid by your federal, state and ocal taxes was $17,518,012. All other County and City and School expenditures totaled $16,345,173, Both of these expenditures can be cut materially by economical and efficient officials.
* Kk * ® The Citizens Tax League has mailed to every drug store in Mar«
‘lion County a paper for you to
sign. It is headed "WARNING from TAXPAYERS," and reads:
* %* %
® "We, the undersigned taxpays ers, join in this notice to every public official that the utmost economy and efficiency MUST bai exerted to lessen the oppressive burden of taxes which we are now attempting to pay." Lee ® The Marion County Council and City Council are now examining budgets on which Jour next year's taxes will be based. They act on them by September 5 and 6. The Marion County Tax Adjustment Board meets September 11 to go
‘over these figures. Their findings
are submitted to the State Tax
Board. * * %
® If you think you are paying for some needless expense—If you join us in saying, "Taxes MUST Be Lower!"—DO SOMETHING! Write us your ideas to be subs mitted to these tax bodies or at the very least—sign the Taxpayers' Warning at Your Drug Store —Now!
Taxes Must Be ower!
