Clifford Taxes Will be Storm Center of Legislature Meeting in January f.T!VF5 BUREAU AT STATE CAPITAL INL'IANAFi.iLIS. Nov. 24. The announcement of 'SValter S. Chambers, I'emocratic state chairman, and a member of the state senate, that bills will be Introduced to liar up tht present tax law, makes U certain that this f-ubjeot will be the .storm center of the kglsiuturti meeting In January. One of the peculiar things about the democratic stand is that part of the tax program proposed Is the same lj.;on-. - purtieu.ars as the tax law passed in lli under the administration of loverr.or lloodrieh. One of the cardinal features of the proposals by the democrats now is that a limit be established for tax levies. This was a feature of the fro'odrirh law. but it was r "pealed in the special session ot ti20 partly b'"ause of the howl that was sent up by she minority. The only difference between the old provision of the tax la-n and the n'w one now proposed by th" democrats is that if a taxing unit desired to raise more money than the limit provided in the 1313 law an appeal must be made to the stat; board f tax commissioners. Now the democrats propose, and it is not at all certain that 'h y wi'l not attract a few republican homo rulers to their ranks, that the limit be established and if a desire to ro above it is voiced by the I,,ca! officers that the matter must be put up to a referendum vote. Tax experts declare that the oem-ooratl-program is merely demagp:.rlo as these ntv twists in t h e tax law can not possibly reduce taxes. While the proposal of prlvinc romplt- home rule and putting: all tax matters up to a vot of the people may sound attractive: it has been the experience In past experiments with taxation in Indiana that the people do not. b rotne interested in such elections and the result is not nearly as comprehensive as the decisions of a:i appellate body. Fnder 'be pr 'sent law- any fax payer may remonstrate airalnst a levy and have a bearlne before the s'ate board. In like manner taxpayers may remorst rat e a.irainsf a proposed bond issue anil brinfr the matfr to the state board. Fnilcr this provision of the larv the excessive issuance of lion. Is has been curbed. In the storm which Is to lc--;k on th" tax law it is predicted that there will be one of the larK st lobbies ever seen worklnc for modifications of the present tax act. Contractors are almost a unit in seekinR the overthrow of tiie ap pellat" powers of the state board of tax commissioners on bond issues. It is pointed ouT that the contractors would have much easier saillnR if they had to deal onlv with the local officers as in the old days. f Jn the other ban') there will be Voir Interest' holdinsr out against any modification which will man an increase in public construction. These bi taxpayers know that with the Increase In road, school and other public improvement work tint taxes will necessarily soar. Hut this is only one feature of the attack to be made. T'nd "r the present law It is possible for the tax board to require an equitable assessment of property In various townships of a county. In instances where the board of reviewhas failed to erpjalize assessmr nt between townships the state hoard has the power to reconvene the board of review. This virtually amounts to state supervision In seelncr to it that the equalization Is romplet Th" tax board has always had the rlht to equalize between counties. Tt was for this purpose that the tax board was r.rljrinally created T-iC if the assessments within the county are trot equal some taxpay-rs must suffer.

very saloonkeeper of West Hammond ho has run afoul the iaw since federal prohibition became effective. js ,, anxious f!a, if, a niea trick the federal officials in Chicago are playing on those boys. Severa .j.tvs ago it was announced that permanent injunctions had been srantcj against twelve c,f them in the fede-al court. kbit which twelve? That's the question. The "soft drink" sellers nervously watch their front doors all day. Each time .- .no one enters they look iifm over and heave el.ep sighs of teller when the fellow asks for a drink instead of the proprietor. They're looKtntj for deputy United States marshal-. They k-ninv that whn the marshal con, eS be wiF brini? a ra-penter with him. T;.c windows will be boat-led up. Ilucc padlocks will be lamped on the ileiors. And when a place is lacked tip it will still contain all of the fixtures ar.d stock of the saloon. They cannot be touchol during the year the injunction is r p rative. The saloon proprietor ca,inot visit the place. Tie- owner of the. property cannot nter 1;. Cested On the door wili bo a notice iTferlnf, a reward of $5'i0 for- the apprehension of any person violating the injunction. That makes ji bad. At leas $75,0 1 1 a worth of property will be rendered idle for a year by those twelve .njunciion. Each brinss a rental of from ?5i to $7.1 a month. That means someone stands to lose from JS.'tfO to 1 ci.o.jo in rents. The hoys in West H.i.mmond know of probably twenty place- which have been hit by federal raiders in :he last ear or so. but they fi(;u-e the injunctions will touch the second offenders of the. list. One block on State will be about as dead as it was when prohibition first hi: the state. It was an cwful jar several weeks at-n v.-hen a. number of sa-Ioon men were i;ven jail sentences. Up ti that time the West Hammond bunch thought the federal authorities w ere merely joking- Now comes th second jolt, which U'l'k' as thouipk the -fov.-rnnient were in earnest.

East Chicago Employs Three Times As ManyMen As In Hammond

It is plain to See that thousands of employes of East Chieao plants live in Hammond and that the t.vo cities arc- bound not only fteoffraphically but commercially and politically. Moreover a cat proportion of East Chicago's three million dollar payroll is spent Oi Hammond. The building of the Jor.'? g.
