ASKS STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL CONDITION (Special to Lake County Times.) Indianapolis, April 16. "You will please send us the statement of your financial condition!" Secretary of State Fred A. Sims, who serves as the president of the state board of tax commissioners, asks this same question at the conclusion of any hearing or appeal before the board It indicates that the tax board has taken another method of getting at the true valuation of the corporate prop erty in the state. It soon becomes very evident from the hearing of the tax board on the express companies, pipe line companies etc.. that started yesterday, that the main object of the representatives of most of these corporations is to se crete, rather than to reveal informa tion. Their returns are juggled, statements are modified, and in every way made so as to show as badly as possible that the assessment may be made low The returns, according to the president of the board, do not give the real sit uation. Now the annual statement, made at the directors meeting that closes up the year, is supposed to be the sheet that gives the real Information. And that is what the tax board is after Some startling assessments will be made at this meeting. SEARCH FOR CRAZY MAN.
