Any citizen may obtnin one of these booklets which explains the law In such a way that any layman can understand It by forwarding a request to the artate board at Indianapolis. After detailing the manner in which citizens may tfake appeals from rropoed bond isfr.jes the following appears in the book: "Ehrery new bond issue increases the annual budget and more taxes must be collecrted.
