UNIFORMITY NEW SLOGAN OF TAX BOARD OF STATE

Every Taxpayer in Wayne County Concerned in Instructions to Tax Assessors Suggestions of concern to every taxpayer la Indiana, especially farmers, householders, corporations, automobile owners and building and loan association shareholders, are contained in instructions sent out yesterday by the state board of tax commissioners to assessing officers, who will begin work all over the state March 1. Uniformity all over the state is the slogan of the tax board this year as never before. One of its first steps along this line was to prepare a schedule of assessment standards for automobiles. After consulting with automobile manufacturers, automobile insurace companies, assessing officers and owners and users of machines the board arrived at the conclusion that inexpensive machines deterioiate less in early use and more in later use and

that expensive machines deteriorate more in early use and lens in later use. Then It issued the schedule and placed in Class 1 cars costing less than $700; Class 2. cars costing $700 to $1.800r inclusive: Class 3, cars costing more than (1,800. Classification of Values the true value of the cars is arrived

at as follows: Class 1 First year of use, 80 percent of or

' iglnal cost; Second year of use. 60 per cent, of original cost; Third year of

me. 40 perceut. of original cost;

Fourth year of use, 25 percent of or

iginal cost: fifth year of use, 20 per

cent, of original coat. Class 2 First year of use. 75 percent, of or

iglnal cost; second year of use. 65 per

nt. rjf orieinal cost: third year oi

use. 55 Der cent, of original cost;

fourth year of use. 40 per cent, of or iginal cost: fifth year of U6e, 25 per

cent of original cost. Class 3 First year of use. 75 per cent, of ordinal coat: second year of use, 70 per

lent nt nritrinftl cost: third year of

U6e. 60 per cent, of original cost; fourth vear of use. 50 per cent of or

iginal cost: fifth year of use, 40 per

cent of original cost. ' The true values fixed in the above table aro subject to the customary discount cf 25 per cent, for equalization purposes. Motorcycles are subject to the same rules for determining value and to the same discount for equalization. Assessment of Staples. The suggestions turn to the evaluatlon of such staple products as wheat, corn, rye. oats and the like. On this subject the instructions state: "There should be practical uniformity here, for the local market prices (what dealers are paying) on March 1. less 25 per cent for equalization, should be the absolute rule. Irregularities here will not be overlooked by this board, and unless corrected by boards of review may subject a whole county to a horizontal increase, the responsibility for which must rest upon the local assessing officers. The item of corn is an uncertain one this year, owing to the condition of the crop, and will require special attention when it comes to determine value." On assessing personal property of farmer and householder the board pre

pared cards to assist the assessor in arriving at a correct valuation of each principal farm implement and of each principal household furnishing. Thus the board seeks to discourage the common practice of "lumping off" the property. A popular idea about the taxability of shares in building and loan associations may be changed somewhat by il)6 following from the board's instructions on the subject: ' Shares-In bullding-loau associations are taxable to the owners. Associations themselves are exempt from taxation, except on their real estate. Building-loan shares on which loans have been made are exempt from taxation, but other shares whether paid.up or running shares are taxable to the holder. Every person who puts money into an association of this kind is a stockholder, and his holdings should be listed according to the value of his investments." Stock in Corporations. Sir.ck in foreign and domestic corporations and tho method to bo employed in assessing them and corporate property as dealt with as follows: 'Attention is also called to shares of stork in foreign corporations, and domestic corporation conducting their business outside the fctate. All such r toi k is ar,sessabl to the holder. A foreign corporation is defined as one "which takes out Its charter in another stute although it may conduct le bflsiness in iIiU state. A domestic corporatic i Is defined ai one which takes out its charter In Indiana but may conduet its business in another state. All stock In foreign corporation is assessable

to t'.io holder of the same, regardless M whore tho company does business, but stock In a domestic corporation is jict assessable to the holder, unless xlic company conducts its business outside tho state." In closing, the board fixed the time for the township assessors to report to county assessors with the following statement: "Township assessors should report s usual to county assessor the average of certain classes of personal property on the following date6: March 9 and 23 and April 6. From a compilation of these reports the county assessors should report to the state tax board not later than March 15 and 29 and April 12."

Increased Production of Peas, Sweet Corn , . Tomatoes is Wanted INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 11. An appeal from Herbert Hoover asking "That you make a stjenucus effort to secure an , increased production of peas, p.weet corn and tomatoes m Indiana for 1918," has been received by Dr. Harry E.
