Thi-re are men who could not make honest tax returns if the alternative were a life time in Michigan City Thera is as much inequality in the assessment of real, as there is in the assessment of personal property. The reai end can be got at easily. Why mt do it? Personal property can be reached and assessed if ihe legislature wants to do so. The wricer has never knewn a legislature that honestly wanted to do so. Jt isn't the tax laws; it's the enforcement of them that is at fault Whoever first said making public bonds non-taxable lowered the interest? A. Chinaman, in an opium joint in Kearney Sir et ban Francisco Ohio bonds are taxable in Ohio and bear no high er interest than Indiana bonbs. Why'not have alt bonds registered, and not collectable, r not registered? Why not have all nntrs noncollectible, if not taxed? The assessor can set John Smith's bank account for taxation if it is in an Indiana bank There is no legal way of getting it if it iq in a bank of another state. Why net? Holise es to ReQlsirvtion.

LPS FIGHT State Conference Decides to Give Voters Chance to Select Best Men In State. WANT A G0CD CONSTITUTION Goodrich Pussyfooting to Pack th Convention and Put Over Some of His Peculiar Notions of State Government. By Willis S. Thompson. Indianapolis, July 9. The democratic state central committee, after consulting with a representative body of democrats from all parts of the state, have, decided to place a ticket in the field for delegates to the constitutional convention. The meeting of democrats was called by State Chairman Charles A. Greathouse and National Committeeman E. G. Hoffman for the purpose of securing an expression of opinion. Mr. Greathouse, who presided, said that conditions were such that" it appeared necessary that some such body as the democratic organization must take up the matter in order to arouse proper interest4 among the people in the importance of the convention and at the same time to see to it that the voters were given an opportunity to select the ablest men of the state to compose the convention and write the new constitution. The people were paying too little attention tothe subject, the fact that the country is at war and the mind of the average man and woman is engrossed in. the great problems created by this condition, made it necessary that unusual efforts be made to stir an interest. That the democratic party was in the position of being able to do real service to the people at a time when no one is seeking office. That while in the convention the delegates should not sit as politicians or with any regard to political lines, only as they serve the public good, unless some responsible organization assumes the task there is going tc be no agency to nominate such men as the occasion demands. That the men most desired are not seeking the chance to go as delegates, and that it devolves upon some body, strong enough for the task, to induce them to allow the use of their names and to convince the best class of our citizens that it is their duty to make the patriotic sacrifice of time and effort insuring ths best results. That this work he thought the democratic party owed it to the people to undertake. Mr. Hoffman pointed out that while there is no "open" movement at present looking to the selection of 115 of the soi't of men the people want, organizations interested in securing the adoption of their own pet one-idea notions into a new basic law are very busy. He pointed out especially thai Governor Goodrich is conducting a gum shoe campaign looking to the control of the delegates in order that he may ingraft into the constitution his ideas of government which the legislature refused to recognize. That the governor is calling men into his office and asking them to become candidates, guaranteeing that he will have an organization that will mak their election sure-. Mr. Hoffman diu not believe that the people of Indiana care to have a Goodrich constitution and he thought the democratic part;, was in the position to serve the people in a patriotic and broad way ir. securing a people's constitution, and one that will serve all interests with fairness and equity. The mass meeting agreed unanimously that the proper thing was tc put a straight ticket in the field. Ii was thought best to find some way of naming the delegates other thai": the hoMing of township, county, district and state conventions.. The chief thir.g is to secure men above reproach and of the highest ability. The method fs a secondary thing and wa's left to the state committee. This committee decided to leave it to the party in the districts to name in 'their own way the delegates at large and the dotegates accredited to each of the legislative districts. The persons wrho spoke at the conference of democrats preceding the meeting of the state committee, all ;ndorsing the proposal of putting a Jull ticket in the field were State Chairman Greathouse, Mayor Bell, Thomas Tasrgart, Bernard Korbly. Evans Woollen, John W. Holtzman, Judge Joseph G. Ibach, Judge Moses B. Lairy, Frank Hawley, Charles Remster, Miss Julia Landers, and J. L. Keach, of Indianapolis; Edward G. Hoffman and Lew Ellingham, of Ft. Wayne: J. J. Nolan, of Evansville; John W. Cravens, of Bloomington; Ralph W. Moss, of Center Point; E. B. Stotsenburg, of New Albany; W. H. O'Brien, of Lawrenceburg, and Riley Dunham, of Kemp ton. The delegates at large, fifteen of them, will be democrats, the districts being instructed to exercise their own judgment as to whether they will name democrats or others as the local delegates. This was in accord with the views exressed a"t the general conference. The republican state commiltoe ha I p-eyiously refused to join the cbir.cra's in naming nonpartisan tickets. Plans were aho made at the meeting of the state committee to proceed with the work of organization in the most effective manner. Mr. Greathouse will establish his headquarters and remain at headquarters wh a competent force of assistants to insure efficient organization in the 1916 campaign. One of the first things done will be to complete the naminc; of the woman's executive committee to cooperate with the state committee in all the work. Such assistance as is asked or required will also be given in the important municipal elections over the state. Dick Miller is making a good fight in Indianapolis for the mayoralty, with Lew Shank in second plac.
