II it takes a levy of ten cents on each ONE HUNDRED DOL-

i3es LAKS of the assessed valuation of tlsc property of Jennings County lay to raise an annual fund of SIX THOUSAND DOLLARS, to support

and maintain a CUL T (V) Library at North Vernon, Indiana, what will it cost on each ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS of the taxable property of Jennings Couatv to pav the original cot cf an UN-Nccessary NEW COURT HOUSE at North' Vernon, or Vernon, at i cost of S3c!0,000 to $300,000, together with the interest thereon, which principal debt and into est will not all be paid before 30 or 40 years have passed. In the talks that the MOVIES aro making- when they meet the people personally, in some of their literature they arc distributing CJi in .some of the speeches made at THE BIG MEETIN' held at North Vernon Tuesday nigtit June 10th, w hich meeting was held to arouse the enthusiasm of and to educate the people, they make the statement that the increased taxes to pav for a NEW COURT HOUSE will be so small that it will faardlv be noticeable, They also state that there will not likelv be any taxes paid to build a new Court House before .1922 or i(y23. What silly, rediculous statements! Do tha movies believe the people of Jen

nings bounty have no judgment.' But let that go as they state. The Special Election Law under which they are endeavoring to

get the RE-LOCATION of the COUNTY SEAT, "Within fij-e days after the board of canvassers meet and canvass the votes

cast at said election, the clerk of the court of said county shall certify to the auditor of said county the number of votes cast for and against re-location, and said auditor shall immediately tile said certificate with the petition and other reapers ia said proceedings and if at least 0 per cent of all votes cast at said election be in favor of such relocation, the auditor shall call the board of county commissioners to convene within HO days from the date of filing, and said board of county commissioners shall withintwodays after it has convened, enter said certificate in full upon their records, and shall further order that the county seat and seat of justice be relocated and changed to the city, town or other place mentioned in the petition, and within two years after the date of holding said election the said board of county commissioners shall by ana with the consent of the county council of said county provide suitable and convenient place for the holding of the circuit court in the town, city or other place at which said county seat has been. located as determined by said election. ' The said law also provides that the commissioners shall provide suitable rooms wiiere the business of the county may be carried on and where its records may be stored and that the county council appropriate funds with which to pay the expenses thereof, etc, Now, does any sensible person believe that the building of a New Conrt House will beput olf 3 or 1 years when this law says that a place for holding court must be provided within two years? what building in North Vernon now erected will be lit to hold court in? Where wilt suitable rooms to conduct the business of the county and to store the records safely, be found in North Vernon in buildings now erected V We do not believe a single place can be found that will measure up to the requirements of ttiat provision of this SPECIAL Law. We have been informed that there are a number of owners o!i rooms in North Vernon Uiat will have rooms to offer. If these rooms are used Jenings County will have to pay an exhorbitant rental for the use there' of Mr. TAXPAYER don't be

fooled by any such propaganda. It is only reasonable to suppose that a site will be bought and steps taken to begin the building of a New Court House just soon as they can carry an election. The MOVIES are making a desperate struggle to get the County Seat relocated, what for".' no steps can be tatcen to do the above mentioned things until provision has been made for funds to pay the expense incurred there by. No buildings can be started until bonds have been issued and sold to pay for them and the bonds will bear interest from date. So

you can set this down as a fact. You will at once, after the relo

cation, begin to pay high rent for the use of buildings and rooms in which the business of the county is conducted and before 1922

or 1928 will you begin to feel the cost of a New Court House.

If this is not so what is the Use to have an election now? Why not wait until 1922 or 1923 and hold the election and if it carries begin to build a new one at once'' Bonds will have to be iseued to

pay for these things and they can be issued in 1919, taxes levied in 1919 and collected in 1920 to begin making payments of interest

and principal on the bonded indebtedness just as easy and as legally as to wait several years.' MOVIES explain to the public why they may not have to begin paying untill 1922 or 1923. Assertion is made in some of the literature handed out by the North Vernon Nit) VlFa that our prefceut court houfce is not large enough, yet & hundred times more butinesa caii be done in this building than i done. We asked the opinion of a man having experience in contracting work what, in his judgment, would bo the cost of a Court House just like the one now at Vernon with uu ordiuaiy system of plumbing and healing apparatus And lighted by electricity. Hia answer was,"AII the way from -2oo,o(o to f250,ou provided all s i in of grait was tupt out, and more if the people vere not very careful when letting a eoutrct at North Vernon. Now, if we must-have a new court houee w'lb the additional room what would it likely cost. It is not exaggerating to place it at the amount mentioned in the beginning of this article. Bonds must be issued to pay for everything from the work of the architect until all ollices are furnished mcedy, which will he to be so, in order 'to be modern and up to date. When bonds are issued to Inar Interest at o per cent auum if they are so issued thtt the last series of the bonda are paid in "0 years the interior, paid oa tile court bouse bonds will be one half of the amouut of the bonds, it does not matter what the amount will be. If the b uds are not all paid until the end of o0 years the interest will be three-fourthsi of the amount of the bonds and if Ihwy HTf not all paid until 40 verthe interest paid on the court house boudy will be,ju?t the same as the oi initial issue of hoods To illustrate an issue of ro0,000 to rua 120 years, there will be ;?2oO,lK.iO(, in intertsl paid, which added to the per value of the bouda Kiuouut le o,(K)o. on an isue to rim 30 ytais the Interest will bs .'!75,()00. which addtd to the face of i h.; bonds will amount t fc7.",000 and on mi issue th a will not be fjliy paid until 4 years the interest will be $500, OOO which added to the fs.Ce of the bonds will amount to $1,000,000. Dues tuy sersidbie person think that any .of .he above amounts can be paid without it being hardly notieible? We think not and we do not believe any one e:se thinks o, not withstanding the statements of the MO V 1E6 to the contrary. The MOV IKS boast of the amouut of taxis paid by North Vernon. A "glimpse at the returns made by the assessor of INorth Vernou will reveal that the entire yaluartiou of the property of North Vernon is a good sum but it also shows Uiat many of the most ardent advocates of removal are and always have been," JL1GHT WEIGHTS". Another thing must not be overlooked. While there are lots cf people in the Metropolis that are wealthy, live in fin bouees, that drive large automobiles that help to tear up the roads of the county, and who from all outward appearances are on easy street are very small taxpayers. This is possible because they have their wealth invested in non taxable securities and are thereby relieved from paying local taxes. Such per&ru are exempt legally but that doe? not cbarjge the fact that MR. fAKilKH has to pay far more taxes than is his just share. The great amount of taxes in North Vernon is paid by trie rail roads aad other legitimate businesses corporations. And in these cases the rail road have no voice in an election and many of the owners of etock in the other

enterprises are deprived cf a voice becsuss the are net residents of the county and have no votes on the jtusiicn of removal. There are also a larger pereectjgs cf j the class above mentioned, a:.d Horn the voters of North Vernon who are j oilier sources who had no more risht
