The convention was to close today with election of officers, reports of committees and adoption of resolutions,

COUNTY'S TAX BOARD SCORED

Influenced by City Hall, C. of C. Says After Plea For Rate Cut Fails.

The greatest obstacle to obtaining tax reductions in Marion County is in the makeup of the County Tax Adjustment Board, the Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce asserted today. This statement was contained in a special bulletin issued by the Chamber to its members only a few hours after the State Tax Board yesterday overruled the Chamber's plea for a reduction in the $1.43 Indianapolis civil city tax rate for 1942, The Indianapolis Chamber stated that the greatest dependence for substantial tax reductions must be placed on the County Tax Adjustment Board because it devotes three weeks or more to review of local budgets while the State Tax Board had only a very short time to study the budgets.

City Hall Group Rapped

“With representatives of three governmental units on the County

disadvantage because of trading and back « scratching maneuvers among official representatives,” the Chamber asserted. “It was clearly evident during the County Board meetings this year that ‘the Board was dominated and influenced largely in its deliberations by representatives from the City Hall. “If constructive work in the future on behalf of taxpayers is to be accomplished, there should be no official whose budget is to be reviewed on this Board. This would require legislative action, and should be placed before the Legislature at its next session.”

Center Rate Disappointing

The State Tax Board's approval of the Center Township (inside) rate of $3.25 for 1042, four cents higher than the 1041 rate, is “extremely disappointing to taxpayers who feel that they had every reason to expect a reduced property levy next year | because of improved economic con=

{ditions which have sharply reduced poor relief costs,” the Chamber asserted. The {increased Center Township | (inside) tax rate is due chiefly, the Chamber said, to the 14 per cent increase in the civil city rate which is being made despite the distribution of “$325,000 more in gasoline tax funds than was anticipated a year ago; increased assessed valuations; increased property tax collections, and increased revenues from special taxes and the new

WASHINGTON, Dee. § (U.P). —President Roosevelt said today that the second set of his public papers costs twice as much as the first volumes because his first publishers were over-optiniistie. The President jested a press conference questioner who asked whether inflation was responsible for the $30 price put on the just-issued volumes covering his second term of office, compared with $15 charged for the collection of volumes covering his first term. The President said the increased price was due to the over- / optimism of his first publisher.

INTEREST IN POLITICS HIGH, BRADFORD SAYS

“Political affairs are attracting | greater interest than usual because of these critical days,” County Republican Chairman James L. Bradford told his advisory committee at a meeting last night. This revival of interest, he added, also resulted in “a party unity that exceeds customary proportions.” Results of the county committee's educational campaign were outlined by State Rep. Emsley W. Johnson Jr, who is directing the forum speakers group. Other speakers were Roger Wolcott, Committee Treasurer Henry Ostrom, Joseph J. Daniels, William L. Yager, Frank A.
