BOYCOTT CONVENTION
SAYS TAXES HAVE GROWN
500 PERCENT Are We to Be Taxed Out of Existence Asks Fred Sins at E.Chicago "Are we to be taxed out of existence? When will the peak of tax assessing be reached? Shall we allow . the tax emeptlon list to Increase r were subejets touched upon in the address of Fred A. 61ms, former chairman of the State Tax Board and nationally known tax expert, when speaking before the members of the Chamber of Commerce and ladles of me AV. C. T. U. at the Congregational church yes terday noon at East Chicago. ; BIRDBHSOME TAX Plain and distinct facts of the tax situation as it now exists in the state, of Indiana were unfolded in the talk of the former state tax commissioner." He did not hesitate in divulging any official secrets that were practiced during his career as a .member ot the board, or keep secret any Intricate methods used by the taxing bodies. Pointing out that the excessive tax assessments were becoming burdensome and dangerous to the security of the country. Attorney Sims said that' while It wasn't the purpose of the concerted fight on high taxes to thwart the progress of the nation, the question of excessive taxes would have to be solved before they become confiscatory to homes and, property. Not attempting to convey any misapprehension to his audience, the speaker by records and statistics of the State Tax Board showed that with the gradual Increase each year of taxes, families were constantly being taxed out -f their homes. . ; 1CREASE 50O PER tEXT Consistent with the progress of the country, the taxes have grown materially and taking note of this fact, the former state official said that he was not attacking , any heavy expenditures rr:ade. He depicted, however, the inevitable climax if this increase is allowed to continue. . From an official tabulation of f.g-ires prepared In the office of the State Tax Board, Mr, Sims read that since 1300 there ha3 been an increase of 510 per cent In the taxes of Indiana. He taid that this year the people of Indiana are paying nearly five times as much taxes as was assessed in 1900" The Informant did not try to cloud the minds of. his listeners with saying that the excessive tax problem applied to the eonnnes of this state only, but mentioned "that this epidemic was existent everywhere. Neither did f.e leave the impression that the abnormal period of 1920-22 could be taken as a basis for the argument -against high taxes. He simply conveyed the cold facts of present tax conditions and said that only by conservative efforts on the part of everyone could the people hope to lessen taxes and get back to sound government. ASSESSOR NOT BLAMED "The taxes are going to increase if 'we continue demanding good roads, high class schools, and in fact if we demand modern improvements In government, we'll have to pay the 'fiddler'," raid Attorney Sims. "We cannot blame the assessor who fixes the property values for if he were to slice the values 00 per cent, the tax spending bodies would only Increase their levies 100 per cent so as to produce the same amount of money to be spent." TAT KXEMPTIOXS The only opinion advanced in Mr. Sims' address was offering a possible solution to high taxes by lessening the number of lax exemptions and placing these on the tax duplicate. Mr. Sims gave this suggestion as a potential factor in solving the Indiana tax situation. TUBERCULOSIS IS SUSPECTED IN SCHOOL Crown Point Health Authorities Arrange To Have Examinations. . fSPECIAt.
