ii nv OTflTT TiiV P ui mini t i j f i i 1 jl 1 itii yuii Jennings County gets an increase of 30 per cent on all lands and lots and 30 per cent on all improvements In all townships not including cities and towns; an increase of 30 per cent on all lots and lands and 30 per cent on all improvements in the corporation of Vernon; an increase of 20 per cent on all lots and lands and 20 per cent on all improvements io the city of North Vernon; an increase of 30 per cent on all personal property in all townships and an increase of 40 per cent on all personal property in all cities and towns. It appears that most of the Southern counties got a raise in the valuation of lands and improvements while the majority of the northern counties remain practically the some. Carroll County gets a 5 per cent reduction, Lawrence gets an increase of 30 per cent on personal alone. An increaae of 30 per cent on lands in Jennings County will mean that they can be sold. As an illustration land assessed at $40.00 will receive a valuation of $52.00 Land assessed at $50.00 a valuation of $65.00 and Land at $60 00 a $78.00 valuation and etc. Mr. Farmer and Tax payer, prior to July 22, 19199 the removalists attempted to tell you that the tax question was settled Auditor Bemish, in a misrepresenting way, allowed hand bills passed into each township showing the tax rate in each township for the year 1919. The above ruling of the State' Tax board is evidence this Auditor compiled his figures for campaign purposea only. Mr. Bemish can not tell you the rate today or will he be able to tell you for some time the exact rate of tax for the year 1919. Mr. Bemish either did not know or made these statements for the sole purpose of getting an unnecessary tax burden voted on the Farmers and Tax payers of Jennings County for a new count House. Mr. Tax Payer, you will also remember that the North Vernon papers boasted of the vast amount of bonds owned in Jennings county and the vast amount of interest that bond holders would receive; that Jennings county was prosperous and out of debt etc. These same papers never mentioned the fact that the vast amount of bonds owned would not produce enough tax to fill a rut in the road, teach a week of school, pay a weeks salary of County officials produce a bushel of corn or wheat fatten any hogs or cattle, mnch less help build a new and unneccessary New Court- house Mr. Farmer it is true astrue can be the tax question is one of the questions of the day to be guarded with the greatest of care. How many men in your township voted to move the Court house that are not affected by the tax Law? Isn't it a fact that many of these men were influenced imported and even hired to vote for removal? while others were influenced by promises of office, roads, Bridges and the statements made by such men as Bemish and the County Commissioners. Why was it that they did not get statements from our County Treasurer in regard to the tax question? These men or papers never did quote him. James Huntington known as Tax Payer Jim spread it broadcast in his feeble way that "it would cost Jennings County many thousands of dollars to build new bridges across the river at Vernon if Vernon remained the County Seat and the state roads passed through the County Seat at Vernon." His dreamy mind must have pictured an Eada suspension bridge would be necessary with a footman's path, a road for horse drawn vehicles, a road for street cars and a road for auto traflic. Otherwise the bridges we have are ample and sufficient. Mr. Huntington had in mind this hot air would also deceave and influence a few tax rivers into voting for reloeation.Mr. Tax payer, is this pr.q.agiuda or the naked truth? George McDowell motored John Con boy and family to Switzerland Co. and spent the day with relatives. Mrs. Cora Ploughs and children went Sunday morning to Columbus for a visit with Mrs Mary Gillespie aud lainiiy and Jrom there she will go to Ft. Wayne to vis-it her parents Mr. Coverdaleaud family.
