PROPOSE SALARY INCREASES FOR TAX ASSESSORS

Commissioners Believe Greater Effort Will be Induced by Pay Increase. (By Associated Press)

INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 13 By pro

posing to increase the salaries of assessing and other officials concerned

In listing property for taxation and

collecting taxes, the state board of tax commissioners, which drafted the tax bill pending in the house as amended by Judiciary A committee, believes that greater effort. will be put forth by the county and township officials in enforcement of the proposed law . than has been the case In Indiana in the past .' The state board also would be provided hv thn hill with authority to re

move from office any county assessor for cause. This provision, members of the board say they believe, would result In local officials being more cautious and careful in the enforcement of the law. The provision for removal reads In part that if the board finds, "any county assessor has not discharged any of his duties faithfully or In full compliance with the law, such county assessor may be removed from office by the state board of tax commissioners for Incompetency, neglect of duty, or misconduct in office after five days' notice and a hearing by said board and the finding, . shall be conclusive and no appeal shall He therefrom." The salaries of the township assessors would be fixed according to the preceding census. The basic pay of township assessors would be 4.50 a day for the time actually employed. Deputies would be paid $3.50 a day. Maximum annual salaries, however, shall not exceed. Baaed on Population In townships of from $5,000 to 20,000 population, however, the salary would be $300 a year with $30 additional for each thousand or fraction thereof of population above $5,000; in townships of from 20,000 to 75,000 population, $1,000 to $1,700 as fixed by the board of county commissioners; in townships of 75,000 to 100,000 population, $2,000; In townships of from 100,000 to 200,000 population, $2,800; and in townships of more than 200,000 population, $3,750. Assessors serving on a straight salary basis would be required to devote their full ' time to their work. County assessors would be paid salaries depending on the population

or tneir respective counues, uu would be required to be on duty every day. The graduated scale follows: counties of less than 10,000, $800 annually; of 10,000 to 15,000, $1,000 annually; of from 15.000 to 20,000, $1,200 annually; of 20,000 to 30,000, $1,500 annually; of from 30,000 to 50,000, $1,800; of from 50,000 to 100.000, S2.000 annually: of from 100,000 to

200,000, $2,400 annually, and more than 200,000, $3,200 annually. County assessors would be required to report to the state board the incompetency or neglect of duty of any deputy. The state board of tax commissioners would consist of three members appointed by the governor and paid $6,000 each annually, as compared with $3,000 now. They also would be entitled to traveling expenses actually spent In the performance of their duties.

OHIO ASSEMBLY TO CUT LANGUAGE BILL

COLUMBUS, Ohio,' Feb. 13 Although still consuming time with comparatively minor matters, decisive questions soon are to face the general assembly. One' of the most important of these will come when Representative ,W. R. Coming's bill to require teaching of the elementary branches in the English language will be before the House. The bill was held up to await reprinting to end the plea that members did not understand its provisions. Interest in this peculiar suggestion was heightened when reports of the Indiana general assembly were scanned carefully. There, it appears, the trouble Is a question of jealousy between house and senate. Looking at the Inner workings of affairs in Ohio may furnish a better reason for the curious coincidence, observers say, in the treatment of the questions in the two capitals as the same general policy seems indicated. Vote is Reversed Bracing their nerves the majority reversed itself again on the railway mileage proposition, adopting Senator George Kryder's resolution in the house by a vote of 77 to 34 after two defeats. Predictions were fulfilled when Representative H. L. Federman, of Hamilton, who had the matter In charge, said that the members would vote to pay themselves 3 cents a mile instead of the statutory 2 cents. Indicative of the lack of appreciation for time was the consumption of two hours' in oratory on the Morris bill to admit faith healing practitioners, the measure receiving 23 positive votes against 82 negative. The experience of two years ago was duplicated despite the ostensible withdrawal of opposition by the state medical association. Medical members voted against the bill, which was fought .on health and religious grounds. M. E. Church Meetings For Centenary Movement Meetings in connection with the Methodist Centenary movement were held Wednesday at Dunkirk and Winchester. The Rev. H. L. Overdeer of Grace M. E. church. Rev. Somerville Light, district superintendent, and Rev. R. L. Semans, of First M. E. church, spoke at the meetings. Dr. W. J. Davidson of Chicago, was also a speaker. A meeting was held in Richmond Tuesday evening at First M. E. church at which the speakers were Horace Burr of New Castle, and Dr. W. J. Davidson of Chicago.

Ask Your Neighbor It has been said that there is now hardly a city, town or village In this country wherein some woman does not reside who has found health in that good, old fashioned remedy, Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. Therefore, If you are suffering from some ailment, and hardly know what to do for it, and have tried other remedies without help, ask your neighbor if she has ever used Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. If she herself has never had the need for It, undoubtedly she knows others who were just in your condition and who have been restored to health by its use. Adv.
