Provisions of Law Relating to Taxation. “The owner of property on the first'day of March of any year shall be liable for the taxes of that year.* The purchaser on the first day of March shall be considered the owner on that day.” Purchasers of PERSONAL PROPERTY as well as Real Estate should remember that “TAXES FOLLOW PROPERTY when taxes thereon remain unpaid.” “COUNTY ORDERS in favor of persons owing delinquent taxes cannot be paid without settlement of taxes.” N “It is the duty of the TAX PAYER to state definitely on what property he desires tc pay taxes, in whose name assessed and in what township or town it was assessed. THE TREASURER WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE for the penalties and charges resulting from taxpayers to so state. The Tax Duplicate for any year is made with reference to property on the first day of March of that year and remains unchanged for the year as to the showing of property, and in whose name assessed and taxed. Transfers after the first day of March of any year will appear upon the Duplicate of that year’s taxes. Those who pay taxes on property in trust, and whose taxes*are complicated, such as undivided estates, etc., should pay early enough to avoid the rush of the last few days, as it requires time to make the divisions and seperate receipts. . , Road Receipts Must be Presented in Payment of First Installment. The Annual Sale of Delinquent Lands and lots will take place on the SECOND MONDAY OF FEBRUARY, 1909. i ~ * . .. . • JESSE D. ALLMAN, Treasurer of Jasper County, Indiana.

DIG UP OLD LAW.
Republicans Seek ('ustodiun and Chief Engineer Appointment. Indianapolis, Ind., November 18.— Some of the Republican leaders have dug up an old law which they believe will empower a commission composed of the State Auditor, the Secretary of State and the Governor to appoint the State House custodian and the State House engineer. With a Republican State Auditor the appointment of Republicans to the positions would be assured. The Republicans contend that this course may be followed under a law passed in 1895. In 1889 when the Governor was a Republican and the Legislature was Democratic, the Legislature passed a law giving : .v% . . i, *. ' • .-i • -
the Legislature the power to appoint the custodian and the engineer. This law was held unconstitutional by the Supreme Court. In 1895, when the Governor was a Democrat and the Legislature was Republican, a law was passed placing the appointments in the hands of the commission composed of the Secretary of State, the State Auditor and the Governor. Before the law was passed the appointments for that term had been made. In 1597, when .lames A. Mount, Republican, was elected Governor, the Legislature undertook to place the appointments again in the hands of the Governor. In its efforts to amend the law, the Legislature it is said, amended the old law of 1 889, which had been repealed, and left the law of 1895, which created the commission, intact. In spite of this, however, the engineer and custodian ever since that time have been appointed by the Governor. Samuel C. Shutt has been engineer at the State House for several years. He has always been appointed by the Governor. Otway Baker is at present custodian. Both the engineer and the custodian have large forces of assistants.
MORE SCHOOL LEGISLATION.
Cotton Proposes Higli School ant) Normal School Inspectors. Indianapolis, Ind., Nov. 18. — Fasset A. Cotton, State Superintendent of Public instruction, in his annual report, which will be handed to the Governor within a few days, will recommend that the next Legislature pass a law creating the position of high school inspector and normal inspector. Mr. Cotton believes, the State
Board of Education should be relieved of some of its duties. The law passed by the last Legislature, fixing the salaries and qualifications of teachers, requires teachers to have high school and normal school training. This makes necessary the inspection of the high schools and normal schools of the State. This work has been done by the State Board. ‘‘All members ,of the State Board of Education,” said Mr. Cotton, ‘‘are busy men. Their duties on the board are not light and in addition they are busy with thgir work as, superintendents of educational institutions.” Mr. Cotton did not go into details in giving his plans. The inspectors, however, would need to be men of j good educational qualifications, men | who would be able to judge whether ] the proper ( standard was being j reached In the schools which they j inspected. Representative Lewiß A. Stephens, of Madison county, will Introduce in the next session a bill providing that convictiotf for horse stealing shall carry a penalty of imprison-! ment of not fewer than ten years] for the first offense and not fewer; than tw'enity years for the second j offense. Mr. Stephens’s bill will < carry out the ideas embodied in a I resolution adopted at the annual | meeting of the Indiana Horsethief l Detective Association at Peru last | October. Senator C. K. McCullough i will Introduce Mr. Stephens's bill in the Sengte.

CLERK MAKES MISTAKE.
Democratic Instead of Republican Representative in Fountain County. A telephone message from Anson G. Madden, clerk of the Fountain Circuit Court, brougi... word yesterday, that the Democratic candidate for Representative had been elected in that county instead of the Republican candidate as was first reported. The message came to Frank I. Grubbs, assistant Secretary of State, who has been compiling the vote for Legislative candidates. Mr. Grubbs completed the computation of the legislative vote last : Saturday, and thought at that time 'that his task was finished. In this j case, however, the clerk of the ; Fountain Circuit Court will send jin a correction, and corrections of this kind, according to the law as interpreted by Governor Hanly, may be considered. When the compilation of the vote was completed, there was no question about the election of any of ,the candidates except those in the Representative district of Cass and , Fulton counties. If it is shown J that a Democrat was elected in that I district, and it is believed there is j no doubt that this Is true, the demo[cratic majority in the House, according to the compilation Saturday, ! will be eighteen. With the additional change in the results from Fountain county the Democratic majority in the House will be twenty, and the majority of the Democrats on joint ballot will be sixteen. The change of the vote in Fountain county is the result of a mistake made by the clerk of the court in certifying the returns. The re-
turns which he sent in showed that William Madigan, the Democratic candidate, received 2,861 votes, while Alonzo H. Lindley, the Republican candidate, received 2,896. This would show the election of the Republican candidate. The clerk bt the court said this morning, though, that the vote of Lindley should hive been reported as 2,796. This change, of course, shows the election of the Democratic candidate Mr. Grubbs is wondering how many more such corrections will come in. Undoubtedly the clerks of the courts In different parts of the State were anxious to get the returns in early, and it is not regarded as being improbable that there were other such errors.
