* *8 7 Beware of the men whj ate always trying to defend the scoundrels who are fattening on public plunder. A close inspection will generally reveal the fact that they are sharing in the booty.- Hebron New®. M W £ ?»

The mortgage exempt ion in Benton county is §271,198. The total taxable property in the county is §10,913,184. The taxpayers of Keener tp., ought to be deeply interested in having an investigation of county affairs in Jasper county. The Valparaiso city council has let the contract for the city printing to the lowest bidder. The saving made is about 50 per cent. It seems that Brother Babcock, of the Jasper County Democrat, has silenced the “Barnacle” for good and all. Leastwise its “trymonthly" visits to this office , have ceased altogether.—Morocco Courier. If the republican prosperity managers have any surplus of this commodity they might send a little wad to Bro. Marshall. Judging from this gentleman's assessment sheets he is in a condition to assimilate a good-sized chunk. Isn't it strange- that the advocate? of “correct principles" (the Barnacle) has nothing to say about Marshall, the tax-dodger? Perhaps the fact that its “editor" supplies Marshall with Jersey milk is responsible for this oversight.

The Columbia City Post thus illustrates the beauties of tax assessments: “The Indianapolis News is assessed for taxation at $46,000. It is sold for $93fi,000. In this county a farm that sold for SI,OOO is assessed for taxation at $1,800.” An honest investigation of county affairs would show whether or no The Democrat has lied in the statements it has made about county management. Why is it that our newspaper contemporaries of the ring do not court an investigation? The gold bug democrats are just now industriously assisting the republican press in assailing the next democratic nominee for president. W. J. Bryan. This is to be expected However, the regular democrats will no doubt manage to nominate their candidate without any assistance from either. . Pianos are a luxury, and few of the hardy sons of' toil in Jasper county can afford one. They, no doubt, think with The Democrat that the county assessor or county auditor should see that all such omitted property is placed on the tax duplicate, even though the owner may be a ring defender.

According to the new law. township trustees must publish their proposed tax levies in each of the two leading county papers representing the two great political parties, one time the first week in August. The advisory board and taxpayers have a right to object to the proposed levies at the regular annual meeting of the board the first Tuesday in September, at which time the levies will be fixed. The estimates of’ the various township trustees of expenditure and the tax levy for the ensuing year must be made and published next week. These publications must be made in the two leading papers published in the county, representing the two political parties casting the largest number of votes at the last preceding election. Trustees are requested to hand in their estimates to us as early in the week as possible.

According to the records, G. E. Marshall, publisher of the “official organ,” received §132.25 of the amount already paid on the Keener tp., gravel roads. No doubt that astute individual feels highly gratified over the prospect of the taxpayers of Keener tp., getting about eight or ten miles of the sixteen miles they had expected to get and for which they were bonded and taxed.

Republicans and the few demo[crats who occasionally receive a copy of the Barnacle —if there are ; any such—even though in some j cases, perhaps, they mav think that thej- are receiving a “free copy," will do well to insist on having a receipt when paying their subscription thereto, or. if a “free copy,” a statement to that effect. ; A number of claims for subscription to the Barnacle have at different times been filed against decedents’ estates in this county, i and by taking she above precautions any mistakes which might occur in such claims or accounts could the more easily be correctI ed.

They are having lots of trouble in Mark Hanna's state nowadays. At Cleveland the city is practically in the hands of a mob, owing to the street car strikes and the pres- ' enee of thugs, toughs and other I irresposnsible persons always attracted by a strike, and companies of armed soldiers are patrolling the streets and endeavoring to preserve order. At Cincinnati the messenger boys and newsboys are ion a strike and everthing is in a topsy turvy condition. Mark should return from his European trip at once and try and get matters straightened out so that the people of his commonwealth may be able to assimilate some of this Hanna-McKinley prosperity. Taxpayers of Jasper county, bear this fact in mind: Every j statement made by the The Dem|OCRAT in regard to the mismanagement of county affairs we stand ready to prove by the records to the satisfaction of any taxpayer of ordinary intelligence who will take the trouble to go with us to the records, and who is not so prejudiced as to refuse to believe the evidence of his own eyes. An 1 eminent gentleman once said that j “to argue with a man who renounced reason was like giving ! medicine to the dead,” and we do not wish to be understood as j claiming to do the impossible. Tell your neighbor that before calling The Democrat man a liar, to go with him and investigate the records on which his I statements to which he takes exI ception are based. This is cer- ! tainly a fair and honest proposition and every word of it means just what it says.

A dispatch from Highland Co., Ohio, says: A tremendous sensation was created in political and official circles here to day by the filing of the report of a committee appointed three months a<zo to examine the county recoids and report the amount of illegal fees drawn by the different county officials for the past ten years. The people of Highland county have been groaning under big tax burdensand charges of misappropriation of funds have been freely made, Ender the statue provided for such cases Probate Judge Hughes appointed an investigating committee, and the report filed to day alleges that theamount of $;>fi.200.24 has been illegally drawn by county officials. This covers a period of 10 years, and is divided among the different offices as follows: Surveyors..; $ 144 gR Infirmary Directors 2.961 D 4 Infirmary Superintendents 1.274 76 Commissioners? 4 386 04 Prosecuting Attorneys.,,..... 550 86 Recorders 10.319 no Treasurers 472 70 County Clerks 5,800 19 Probate Judges Sheriffs Auditors 22.537 90 The taxpayers are worked up to a high pitch over these alleged raids on the treasury, and will insist that suits at once be brought to recover the money.

WASHINGTON LETTER.

(From our regular correspondent.) The unsuccessful bluffer is sicken of as a duffer by sports. Well, Alger is an unsuccessful political bluffer, and the result will be his retirement from public life on August 1. Somehow this bluffing phase of the question has been overlooked. But a close friend of Alger’s is responsible for the statement that Alger’s resignation was handed to Mr. McKinley as a big bluff, with the expectation that he would decline it in a nice little note that Alger could have published to refute the charge that he was remaining in the Cabinet

against Mr. McKinley’s wishes, and that Alger was the most surprised man in Washington when he received Mr. McKinley’s note accepting his resignation to take effect August 1. The same man says that Alger is very mad, although pretending to be greatly pleased, and that he may toss a few bombshells administration ward, afi ter he drops official harness, and that their explosion will not make pleasant music for Mr. McKinley. If the new Secretary of War—Mr. I Root—is merely to look after the ' legal questions connected with our 1 military occui>ation of Cuba. Porto Rico and the Philippines, leaving military affairs to be controlled by Meiklejohn and Corbin, and that is the present understanding. AlI gerisHKtisn’t likely to depart with Alger. I• * « Unless Mr, Elihu Root, of NewYork, can persuade Mr. McKinley ;to shake up the War Department i clique and to give Gen. Miles the say that properly belongs to him ias Commanding General of the Army, in all strictly Military matters, be will live to regret the day he so eagerly accepted the War portifolo to perform duties properly belonging to the Attorney General, after two members of the Cabinet, fully conversant with the situation, had declined to do so, and to stand before the country las a figure head responsible for the conduct of the War Departi ment. * * # Perhaps it was a fellow feeling that caused “Corporal” Tanner, who was kicked out of the Pension Bureau by Harrison, after a few 7 months service as Commissioner, to rush into print with fuli some praise of Alger and Algerisni. Whatever it was, it was creditable to Tanner's heart, if not to his sense of thrift, to stand up for the under dog, in this fracas, because he liked him personally, although he knew when he did it that it was likely to lessen his own pull j on the administration. * * * Mr. M. L. Lockwood, of Pennsylvania. President of the American Anti-Trust League, which although a non-partisan organization, purposes to take an important part in the Presidential campaign. is a strong Bryan demociat. and he says_of the sentiment of Pennsylvania democrats: “I am in touch with the true democrats iof Pennsylvania, and it is safe to i say that ninety-five per cent of ‘ them are loyal to Bryan, and the principles of the Chicago platform. The real democracy of the state and of all the other states must be on the alert, for if the tricksters get one vote more than one-third lof all the members of the National Convention, they will accomplish their end. which is the defeat jof Bryan. The monopolistic and i trust interests will bend all their ; energies to defeat his nomination because they recognize that no human power can prevent his victory at the polls, if he be again declared the nominee of the demo- ' cratic party." . * .

The statement that Hon. AV. C. Whitney, whose shrewd manipulation procured the last nomination of Mr. Cleveland, in spite of seemingly invincible obstacles.had gone to Europe for the purpose of trying to persuade Admiral Dewey to allow his name to go before the next Democratic Convention, as a candidate for the Presidential nomination, while interesting, was not regarded in Washington as of any particular importance. Mr, Whitney has been hunting for some time for anybody to beat Bryan, and has sounded a number of men as to their willingness to contest the nomination with Col. Bryan. Nobody with the slightest political knowledge has shown any dispositibn to try to do the impossible, and it is among the possibilities that Mr. Whitney, banking upon Admiral Dewey’s ignorance of politics and existing political conditions, may intercept him somewhere in Europe and try to persuade him to attempt it. Those who know him best say that Admiral Dewey never changes his mind, after having once decided a question, and that be will give Mr. Whitney the same answer he has already given to others to the same.question. * * * Gen. Carlos Garcia, son of the late Gen. Calixto Garcia, is in Washington, as a representative of the Cuban republican League, which advocates complete political independence of Cuba. He asked Mr. McKinley for authority to hold elections for municipal offices, throughout Cuba, in order to demonstrate the ability of the Cubans to govern themselves. Mr. McKinley did not give him a decided answer, but it had been previously said by officials that no elections would be held in Cuba, until a census of those entitled to vote had been taken.

A TAX-RIDDEN STATE.

Under the above head the Chicago Record of last Satuiday published the following special from Anderson, Indiana: From almost every county in the state comes the wail against excessive tax burdens and a general demand for reduction not only in county expenses, but also in state expenditures. During recent years the Indiana tax laws have been pointed to by other states as examples of perfection. This, it is claimed, has made the state officials overzealojis in perfecting this “perfect system." Equalization in taxation and cash valuation assessment has been one of Gov. Mount's hobbies. As a result Indiana is able to show, as heretofore, the lowest tax rate, but Lack of it lies cash valuation appraisements. State meetings of assessors have been held and then district conferences followed and the assessments have been boosted from about 65 per cent to about JM) per cent, on face valuation. Many counties insist that ’’paper" be turned in at its face value. ■> County and state expenses have meanwhile increased until in some sections of the state taxpayers are paying over -1 per cent, on cash valuation. People who have money loaned declare it is an injustice when their paper is assessed at face value ami 4 per cent, of it is demanded by the tax boards. The farmer also suffers when his land is assessed at 90 per cent. Merchants who have perishable stocks have to pay on an 85 per cent, valuation. The difference between the Indiana and Illinois methods can be ‘ shown by the total assessed valuation of the two states for the year of 1898. There was a difference of almost one-fourth, Illinois being the lowest assessed. The Illinois totals not only include a larger acreage of land, a larger country population, but also the wealth of Chicago. Many Indiana money loaners have moved into Illinois during the last year and are turning their holdings in for assessment there. • An idea of the radical change in policy in Indiana can be shown by a comparison between the taxes levied for the years 1890 and 1895. The amount of stale and local taxes collected for the tear 1895 was $19,574,630.60. In 1890 it was

$14,511,146.38. This was an increase of ss.otw.4 v 4 22. or over $1,000,000 a year. It has kept up at that rate for the last four years. For these five years the gain was ; 34.89 per cent. or over one-third, la the last ten years it will fall not .short of a 50 per cent. gain. In the five years considered the state taxes increased $1,586,426.31. or 31.4 per cent, the local taxes increased 68,6 per cent of the total increase. The authorities have failed to reduce the rate of taxation. though the valuations were increasd in theseyears over 46 per cent, or about $400.00(1000. The total "new taxes'" placed on the tax duplicates of counties of Indiana show a wonderful increase. For the five years from l'' x l to 18S». inclusive, they amounted to $60,296,064.82. For the five years from 1886 to lb'.M). inclusive, it was $69,194,731.30. an increase of >7.89b.«»66.48. For the five years from 1891 to 18515, inclusive, it was $93,069,375.26. an increase of $24.874.643.’.(6 —more than enough to build twelve state houses as large as the Indiana building. The increase has been proportionate in the last four years. The tax valuation assessed in 1890 was about $16.91 on the •SI,OOO. In 1895 —in spite of over I $428,000,000, or 62 percent, being added to the tax duplicate—.the rate per SI,OOO had only fallen to $15.22. Since then it has increased until it now is almost S2O. In some cities —notably Rensselaer —the tax rate is $42 on the SI,OOO. The lowest it ranges is about sl2. j anti that only in few sections. Nine out of every ten cities in Indiana are paying nearer 3 percent, than 2 per cent, and fully 33 per cent, of them are paying nearer 4 than 2.spercent. The tax load has become too heavy, however, and is a serious handicap in every line of business. Besides this county, township, city and state burden many towns 'have adopted aggressive improvement policies. Brick and other pavements are being put down in i streets, municipal control is being j extended to public service plants and other special taxes are being levied. Many people in Indiana cities are paying from 6 to 10 per cent, total taxes today. Those who live on newly constructed paved streets built under the Baratt laws are without an exception paying 6 per cent total, which means they are turning over more in taxes than money is worth. The great question which the next general assembly will have to solve will be that of taxation. The high taxes in Indiana are largely

attributable to'the close political complexion of the state. Political leeches, are provided with jobs at public expense. Many cities have three tidies as large a force of police and firemen on pay roll as their municipalities demand.
