TAXPAYERS GET

Association Says Prosperity Now Will Increase

Later Expense.

Although war, prosperity and high wages may make taxpaying comparatively easy now, decreased incomes in the future will make property taxes a more perplexing financial problem, Walter T. Horn, executive secretary of the Indiana Taxpayers association, warned toa . He urged all taxpayers to watch the "budgets in their communities and insist upon economics where savings are possible, “During the last nine years advertised tax levies havé been reduced $87,829,175”, Mr. Horn said. “In 1943 the budget requests were cut $7,372,985 which is considerably below the average.

Reductions Possible “Inasmuch as reductions are generally measured by taxpayer interest, the result would indicate that there is a tendency to coast along on war prosperity, permit taxes to increase and then complain when the burden is so great after the war that it cannot be paid. “If sound financing is the rule this year, tax levies should actually show reductions because more money is being distributed by the {state, Salary increases were authorized last year to offset in- | creased living costs, and no funds eed be appropriated for elections The property taxes due \which would involve a state fund US Year call for $7,955,745 more
