.+ BIG INCREASE SEEN Astounding Fzcts Are Being Revealed v At Public Tax ~ Meetings : “Through the tax work being done by the Indiana Farm Bureau, Inc., some astounding facts are revealed at the public hearings being held in the counties, stated 1.. L. Needler dir. ector of the Farm Bureau's tax work, . “For instance, the total increase in the welfare budget of 1938 over that of 1937, so far as it pertains to local taxation, is $1,9765,214; and the item of personal service which includes salaries of county welfare directors. investigators, stenographers etec., has mounted from $592,041 in 9137 to $l.076,935 for next years. “Thus,” continued Mr. Needler in one stroke, the estimates of expendi‘tures of the two years have tentaltively wiped out one-half of the adavantage gained in the last session of the legislature, when an additiona? $2OO from the state was voted bacic to each teaching unit. “It is a known fact that on differ ent occasions, representatives of the state welfare board have taken the liberty to attend county council meet ings and have insisted that the welfare budget prepared by the state wel fare board be adopted. Tn nearly all instances the state welfare board has made a higher estimate for the maintenance of the county welfare departments than the county has made. “There appears to be a definite moveemnt to disregard the welfare budgets adopted by county councils. and to sanction those recommended by the countyv welfare boards, or even the budget prepared by the state welfare board,” said the FFarm Bureau director. . :
