TIMES BUREAU AT STATE CAPITAL INOIA.NAioi.IK, Ind.. Ioc. 3. Next Saturday will mark the close of the first year of the new true cash value tax law as far as the administration of the act by the state board of tax commission. ra is concerned. From March 12. when the law went into effect, to the

last day of the final session it has he-n

a continual round of battle for the tax

board. Observers say that there has j neve.- been an act passed by the b'gb-l ' i lure- in the history of t':e state that) haj caused such widespread and corstinu- j ittfr interest arj tho tax law. j

l As the tirat year of administration (ro'-s

into history there still remains in the courts of a number of counties' suits against certain features of the law. The feature of the administration of t he la v that has caused most of th; suits is that section of the iict giving the state board the power to make horizontal increase in assessments xuhin a county. I Irrespective of tho justice or .the injustice of that power, end irrespective of whether the increases so made cause 1 some property to be assessed at rnor.. than its truo cash value, one dominati.

fact remains true. This :s. tho'. should I the courts find against the horizontal j increases and the supreme court sus

tained such a finding, then nearly every taxinj? unit in Indiana will be short of revenue next year. That Is a mere statement of fact of which there can bo no. argument. The levies have been finally fixed on valuation totals including the t;icrea.es. If the Increases are wiped out then a proportionate amount of revenue v ill vanish. Of course the various mu

nicipalities will have to operate and will, 'n such a case, have to borrow money. The money will have to be pwld by the "icceedlng: year's tax, which will have to t made hifjh enough to run the government for the year Intended and also take :p the dfbt.
