?coxnmox ‘OF STATE’S FINANCES ‘R. Earl Peters Tells South Bend Audl- . ence People Pay $1,000,000 a Week i " in Taxes
“Further evidence was given to the public Thursday with respect to the financial condition of the state of Indiana by A. N. Bobbitt auditor of state when he publicly declared that the state would be unable to discharge its. current obligations unless advance payments of taxes from the 92 counties of the state were made by May 6,” said R. Earl Peters Democratic state chairman in an addres before a political meeting at South Bend Thursday night. - : “The unfortunate condition exists in the state of Indiana nothwithstanding the fact that more than $1,000,000 are collected from the people each week in the form of taxes by the state government. 5
“It has been less than two years ago that a retiring Republican governor in his address to the legislature stated that the financial condition of Indiana ‘was the best in all of its history. He added that sufficient funds were on hand with which to discharge all of the obligations of the state without either increasing the appropriations or raising the tax rate. Within six weeks after these declarations were made by the retiring Republican governor the ‘legislature which he addressed, and which was predominately of his political faith, increased the appropriations approximately $5,500,000 and subsequently the state tax rate was raised 6 cents. '
“There are many people in Indiana who believe that the payment of more than a $1,000,000 each week to the state in the form of taxes should adequately discharge all of the obligations of the state if extravagance is eliminat ed and the people are given an efficient budiness administration. - ‘

Nothing can interfere with the harmony of being nor end the existence of man in Science” (p. 427). “When we wake to the truth of being all disease, pain, weakness, weariness sorrow, - sim, death, will be unknown, and the mortal ‘dream will forever cease” (p. 218). - _ ]
