7 cents, while the levy for all the various purposes in Jasper county | has been increased from 52.65 to 74.9 cents, or almost 22 cents on 1 each SIOO valuation! Refer again to the back of your tax reecipts and see whether or not this statement is true. Remember that this 22 cents increase in Jasper county has been made by the Republicans and the 7-cent increase in the various state levies has been made by the Democrats. And yet Republican speakers go out from Rensselaer and have the effrontery to say that the Democrats are responsible fqr the big increase in the taxes paid by the Jasper county taxpayers, and if the Democratic state administration has paid off the state debt they have done so by increasing the state taxes and reaching down into the pockets of the farmers and others to get the money! , The Democrats have increased the total levy made by'the state almost 7 cents, and they frankly admit it. But not one penny of this increase was used in paying off the state debt. The money for this purpose was derived from the

state levy proper and the state debt sinking fund tax, which was 9 and 3c, respectively, in 1908, the latter levy being later reduced to 1.50 cents and now stands at .15, while the state levy proper has been reduced from 9 to 7 cents! The increases made by the Democrats have been in the benevolent institution tax, the educational tax and the vocational common school tax. This you will also see is correct by comparing your old tax receipts. The state tax levy proper has been reduced 2 cents, the sinking fund tax almost wiped out of existence—and will be dropped altogether next year if the Democrats are again returned to power—and the only increase made is for the purposes above stated. There are several more benevolent and penal institutions in Indiana now, with several more thousj and inmates to care for, than there I were when the Democrats came into j power in 1909. It costs more money to run this increased number of institutions and care for the several thousand more inmates than it did for those we had in 1908, The average taxpayer will not deny also that it costs more to feed and clothe one now than it did eight years ago, and yet the total of the state levy has been increased but very little and this increase is for

purposes that no one can make a valid objection to. Take some of your old tax receipts with you, Mr. Taxpayer, when you go out to hear some of these Republican spellbinders tell what the wicked Democrats have done, and ask them a few questions from what the levies printed on the back of your tax receipts tell you. The old adage that “figures won’t lie but liars will figure,” was never more aptly illustrated than in this campaign. Your tax receipts won’t lie, but will tell you precisely what we have told you. Look them up and see the story they tell.

BRITISH LINER SUNK BY MINE

Alaunia Sinks in the English Channel Near London. FOUR OF CREW ARE MISSING 245 Passengers Were Landed at Falmouth—Boat Destroyed Wfcile on Way to Capital With 18,000Ton Cargo. New York, Oet. 20.—The Cunard liner Alaunia, hound from New York to Falmouth and London, was sunk by a mine in the English Channel. All of the 243 passengers on the liner were landed at Falmouth before the vessel struck the mine, according to officials of the Cunard line here. Four of the members of the crew were lost. News of the destruction of the Alaunia was received by the Cunard line in a cablegram. Passenger Superintendent P. W. Whatmough of the steamship line said that advices had been received that all of the Alaunia’s passengers had been landed at Falmouth. He gave out this statement: “All of the Alaunia’s passengers were landed at Falmouth on Tuesday morning. Some freight had also been taken from that liner at that port. We had previously received a cablegram giving us this information. The Alaunia was on her way from Falmouth to the Sulley docks in London to unload the balance of her freight when she struck the mine.” The Alaunia carried 185 first-class passengers and 58 steerage passengers. Believe Passengers Saved. Officials of the Cunard line said they believed all of the passengers had been landed at Falmouth and that the vessel struck the mine while on her way from that port to London. The text of the cablegram at the Cunard offices follows: “The Alaunia strvifk a mine in English Channel this morning. Sank during forenoon. Capt. H. M. Denison and majority of crew saved. Some missing.” The Alaunia was armed for defense against submarines. Included her passengers were ten Americans. She sailed from New York on the same day that the German submarine U-53 appeared in Newport harbor, leaving her pier about half an hour after the underseas fighter was reported there. The report of the arrival of the U-53 in American waters reached the Cunard line officials just before the Alaunia sailed. Captain Roberts and Assistant Manager R. L. Walker went aboard and told Captain Denison to take every precaution. An effort was made to keep the news of the German submarine’s arrival at Newport a secret from the passengers. Carried War Supplies. It was possible, the steamship officials pointed out, that the passengers had been sent from Falmouth to London to save time. When the Alaunia left this port she carried 18,000 tons of cargo, a large part of which consisted of war supplies. The Alaunia was a twin-screw steamship built in 1913 at Greenock for the Cunard Canadian one-cabin service. She was 13,261 tons net register, 540 feet long and 64 beam. Fitted with Marconi wireless and a system of submarine signaling and'with accommodations for 2,140 passengers, the Alaunia was rejjprded as one of the finest vessels in the service at the present time.

TEUTONS REPULSE FOE

BERLIN REPORTS TREMENDOUS BATTLE ON SOMME FRONT. British Attempts to Pierce Lines Fail —French Continue to Make Gains in Advance on Peronne. London, OcL 20. —On the Somme front the French are again driving toward Peronne. Progress in that section was made by the French last night and now they are only about a half a mile from this German stronghold. The Paris official statement said: “North of the Somme the Germans tried vainly about five o’clock in the afternoon to attack our lines north and east of Sailly-Sallisel. Our curtain of fire broke up their efforts and inflicted heavy losses. “South of the Somme we made fresh progress between Biaches and LaMaisonette. The fotal number of prisoners taken during yesterday’s action exceeds 350, of whom ten are officers. “Elsewhere the day was calm.” Berlin, wireless via Sayville, Oct. 20. —The official statement issued at main headquarters says: “North of the Somme we were again successful in a day of tremendous battle. “In a violent struggle a new English attempt to break through between Le Sars and Morval was defeated. Attacks were launched from dawn until evening against our positions, which were either held in hand-to-hand fighting or recovered by counter-at-tacks. Some of the attacks failed before reaching our trenches. “A trifling gain of terrain was made by the British north of Eaucourt L’Abbua’e and Gueudecourt, and by the French at Saiily, and south of the Somme, between Biaches and La Maisonette. This, however, was no equivalent for the heavy and sanguinary losses suffered by them.”
