TAX COLLECTIONS JUMP $52,000

IN FOUR YEARS Auditor Bowman's Plan ot Forwarding Delinquent Taxes, Successful. The new plan of forwarding all de linquent taxes, from year to year shows a decided Increase of taxes col lected over the' old method of dropping delinquents at. the end of the year. . .. - L. S. Bowman, county auditor., pre sented to the Indiana tax association, several years ago, a plan by which all delinouent taxes Bhould he carried over from .year to year instead of be: lng dropped and no attempt made to collect It. For the last four years the plan has been under experiment and has proved to be successful as shown by the following figures compiled by u S. Bowman, county auditor. In the years from 1910 to 1912 inclusive the total amount of delinquent taxes collected shows that the total for the four years amounted to $69,622.43 with an average collection of $17,406.61 per year. ' The plan was then carried into effect and the figures for the following four years, 1914 to 1917 conclusive are evidence of what it has saTed to the Wayne county taxpayers. The total amount -of delinquent taxes collected for the last four years $122,031.37 showing an average per year of $30.f.07.84, almost double the tax collected during the preceeding four years. The average increase in the last four years of the collection of taxes amounted to (52,406.84 making an average per year of $13,102.23 Increase over the former average. Although this method of carrying the delinquent taxes forward from year to year causes the amount of delinquent taxes apparently to grow from year to year, the real value is fhown by the figures in the increase of delinquent taxes collected which means that whereas these taxes were formerly lost they can now be collected. The increase can be noted from the following table: Total tax. Total tax Year. del. 1912 $39,064.44 1913 6S.933.17 1914 63,068.50 1915 74,290.13 1917 80.633.53 Am't collected. $16,977.87 17.742.28 22,400.33 26,741.66 42,965.35 The total amount of taxes paid in 1917 was $1,049,118.84.

Germany's Hell Worse Than Thai of Dante's SOUTH BEND. Ind.. Feb. 18. "The German soldier ia the most diabolical person the world has known. His heel has left upon Belgium and .northern France a worse hell than the most vivid imagination of .Dante . ever .conceived." This in a nutshell is the opinion expressed by the Rer. Samuel C. Benson, who recently returned from Europe, where he has been engaged in Red Cross work. "Before the war was declared I was a pacifist. I opened halls at my own expense and preached the doctrine of peace. Since I have been to Europe, however, I realize that I was wrong and that the war in which we are now engaged should go on until the Hun is wiped out completely that he will never again be able to think of forcing a war in the future." ,

Lives in Berlin Street; May Go to Army Camp MUNCIE, Ind., Feb. 18. Heinle is going to be a soldier. He is going to wipe the stain of his German name off his young life. To make matters worse. Heinle lives at 610 South Berlin street, which recalls the fact that although It has been asked to do so. the city council has not yet renamed Berlin street. But in addition to all these things, Heinle Is a dog. He is a diminutive fox terrier owned by Frank R, Hershey, who must go with the next Increment of soldiers from Delaware county to Camp Zachary Taylor. When Hershey appeared before the conscription board to take his examination he was accompanied by Heinle, from whom he is seldom separated, and sought permission of the board to enroll his pet as a volunteer. The board did not know any legal way to do this, but advised Hershey that it would do no harm for him to take Heinle to camp with him and see how he comes out. "A dog with a name like that, that lives in a street with a name like that, ought to do something to prove his loyalty to his country," said Hershey.
