TIMES' BUREAU AT THE STATE CAPITAL.
Indianapolis, Ind., Dec. 27. Railroad, express, telegraph and telephone companies assessments will likely be increased in Indiana as a result of an arrangement entered into between the Indiana and Ohio boards of tax commissioners. The. Indiana tax commissioners began a tour of inspection in neighboring states by visiting Columbus, and. while
there, entered into reciprocal relations with the Ohio board, which are expected to aid greatly in fixing ' corporations assessments. Taxing conditions in the two states are so similar that the members of the two boards believe an exchange of information and reports of their work will aid materially in arriving at a fair assessment of corporation properties. The most difficult problem confronting the tax commissioners ofc Indiana and Ohio, as well as other states, is the assessment of express companies. The companies have maintained an at-
titudeof defiance which has blocked ev- commission.
l basis of valuation, of the company's
property would escape taxatlorf.
The Ohio commission has worked out
a system of appraising railroad property which resulted In making rail
road assessments about double what they were in Indiana. A comparison
made at the recent conference shoved
that while the Pittsburg. Fort Wayne & Chicago is assessed at $170,000 a
mile in Ohio, Its taxable valuation in
Indiana Is fixed at $95,000 a mile.
"One big advantage which the Ohio board has over us in assessing railroad
property is in getting complete and ac
curate reports or tiielr earnings, ex
penditures and other similar matters
necessary to determine their value.'
said Fred A. Sims, a member of the Indiana tax commission. "They have adopted the Interstate commerce sys- j tern which is the best that could be
devised and the railroads must make the same reports to the Ohio tax com-
mission, regarding these matters, that
they make to the Interstate commerce
150
ery attempt to make them pay their
just share of taxes. Three years ago the Indiana tax board took the bull by the horns and made an assessment based on the value of the capital stock of the companies. This action brought the companies Into court with applications for injunctions, and the matter Is now pending before Judge Anderson of the federal court. The Ohio tax commission followed Indiana's lead, with the result that the
Adams Express company has asked for an injunction to prevent its taxable property in the state from being valued at more than $146,957. The pending litigation was discussed at the recent conference of the tax commissioners of the two states, and they agreed to stand together In fighting the express companies. In the past it has been impossible for the taxing officials to obtain any report from ex
press companies as to earnings. They contend that they should not be required to pay taxes on anything except property actually used in the. express business. What this means to the state is readily seen when it Is known that only $5,332,463 of the Ad
ams Express company's $30,000,000
stock value is used in the express busi- in Wisconsin.
The Ohio commission fixes the val
uation of a railroad on the basis of Us
net earnings. The net earnings are
capitalized at an interest rate of 8 per cent. Compared with Indiana's haphazard and unbusiness like method this
plan Is eminently fair and Just.
"Land values have been increased
about two and a half times under the
new Ohio tax law. This law limits the rate to 10 mills except in a case of emergency, when It may be Increased
to 15 mills by a vote of the taxing dis
trict. The result of limiting the rate
has been to advance assessments In or
der to raise enough money to meet the
needs of the community. Taxes are no higher, but the law has tended to place all property on the tax duplicates at its
true value, thus eliminating inequali
ties.
The Ohio law has not been In op
eration long enough for a thorough
test, but it gives promise of proving
generally satisfactory. Because of the
limitation of the tax rate even the railroads are not kicking about the in
crease in their assessments."
It is the intention of the Indiana board to make a similaf investigation in Illinois and Michigan and possibly

The deceased was born at Elsdon

Here Is a tajigle which Is rendered more complex because all of the witnesses and participants tell a different story. According to some this is the way the story should run: Christmas night when Night Desk Sergeant Vernon Elderkin was sitting at his desk in the Gary police station dreaming of the good things he used to get from Santa when he was a kid the telephone rang.

A message came from a "Hunky" saloon stating that a negro had been peeping In a window. Pretty soon Tony Valone .the Italian cop of the Gary police force, -"pulled his box" and the night sergeant told him to look out for the peeping darky. It was nearly time for the Pennsyl

MOTHER OF LAWYER
" DIES IN OHIO
(Special to The Times,) Indiana Harbor, Dec. 27. P. A. Parks
left yesterday for Hillsborough, onio. whither he was called by the unexpected death of his mother. This occurred night before last and was di
rectly caused, it Is thought, by pneumonia, although the telegram did not
state definitely what was responsible
for the end.
Mr. Parks had only a short while
ago returned from Hillsboroug. having been called to his mother's bedside because of an accident. She fell and sus
tained injuries which, on account of
fter rather' advanced age, seemed serious. However, she was recovering from these, her condition being so greatly Improved that no further fears wereventertained for her, and Mr. Parks returned tq Indiana Harbor serene In the assurance that her complete recovery was only a question of a very short
while.
The death Is particularly , sad. inas
much as the accident which ledup to
it happened wfwie Mrs. Parks was vis
iting in Hillsborough.. Her home was
in Valparaiso and she had gone to the
Ohio town for a visit with friends and
relatives. Her daughter Sarah, who lives in Valparaiso, left that city day before yesterday to be with her mother as she supposed during the period of
her convalescence, and did not know until she arrived that the patient was in a serious condition. P. A. Parks, who left Indiana Harbor yesterday, stopped in Valparaiso to be joined by
his brother Frank, who accompanied him the rest of the way to Hillsborough.

Valone went to the door and
the darky to come out. He said he didn't have to. "I'll pull you out," responded Tony in his most fluent English. "Mr. Officer, you can't do that. This
man is peaceful," interposed Rev. Oglesby, a colored minister. Then the Preacher Got Fit". Finally the policeman became angry and- arrested the minister for interfering wlth an officer. touring the argument the peeper made his get away. Just then the Chicago train pulled in from Hobart way. "Here you can't take that man he has a ticket to go to Chicago." This
came from the depot watenman. And the Watchman Also. While the argument was going on the train pulled out and the cop also arrested the watchman. , , At this juncture a third citizen Intervened and he too was arrested. Then the station agent came out and he endeavored to save the watchman so he too Was arrested. Then Number Th rrm Get Away.
In the meantime prisoner number ' three the 'third citizen" made his getaway. j Then the "buzz wagon" came and ali went to jail. Now. the minister and the rest, who were released from the bastile some hours later, say that they will file charges against the officer with the
safety board. They say that the firs., man's arre' ws unprovoked. j So, Erryboly la Sore. On the other hand Chief Martin and Safety President Highlands are "sore" because the policeman was Interfered
with.
Tony claims that the minister misconstrued his action and that he didn't want to talk with the colored man in the depot so he invfted him outside and when the latter refused ' to go tha minister thought that the'cullud folks weren't getting their rights." And It V X mf, T. Anyhow, the peeper got away. And says Night Patrol Wagon McDonald: "It was Christmas night, 4-"
