ASSESSMENTS IN COUNTY RAISED SIXTY MILLION

New State Measure Provides -.Increase in Tax Valuation .. Here. , Under the new state tax law which went Into effect Wednesday, the total return and abstract of Wayne county ' assessment for which Is now being made, should Jump - from $40,000,000 last year's valuation, to at least $100,000,000, and perhaps far above that figure. . County Assessor William Mathews, who went to Indianapolis Wednesday, to attend the instruction meeting held by the state tax board, expressed this opinion Thursday morning. A meeting was held Thursday morning of all the deputy assessors and township assessors, . at which the Instructions given to county assessors at Indiana-polls,-Wednesday were given to the township "workers Wayne, county farmland has been assessed at. about $36.60 per acre in the past, he said, and be believed that the real valuation of land, called for under the new law, would make the average assessment per acre In he country more nearly $100. . As $23,000,000 of last year's total was in real estate, Mathews expected this one Item alone to be perhaps tripled. In Ratio With Valuation. Personal property, including furnlture. etc., had been on the average, taxed at about one-fifth of Its real value, he thought. Twelve million dollars waa given as , the value of personal property last year. ; Railroads,' telegraph and telephone lines, and express companies, taxed for a total of about $5,000,000, would show a slight decrease.' Mathews was careful to explain, that as one provision of the new law ; Is that, unless by a special ruling of jithe tax board, no more Income can be -raised one year than the year before, t'the tax rate is expected to come down In exact ratioNto the rise in valuation, i That is, Wayne county, which ex-"pects.to-raise a total income of $1,lgo.000' from" her $40,000,000 valuation fh!d yearTwill next year try to raise an income of Just about that amount from the new valuation, $100,000,000, or whatever it will be. Mathews said that the consensus of opinion at Indianapolis was that next -year the tax' rate would be one half ror less what" It "Js this year., i' Pay of the, "county ; assessor , of Wayne county is raised from $1,200 to ;$1,600 by the new law, pay of town- ; ship assessors from $2.50 to' $4 a day and pay of deputies - from $2 to $3. i These changes, however, like the dog tax by which the first dog is taxed $3 and all others $5, take effect only on Mcrah 11.

Many Inducements for Men in New Army According to Sergeant Wright Thursday, there are a great number of inducements for young men to enlist in the new regular army now being formed. . Enlistment in the army now will afford the young man an opportunity to see the battle fields of France, its cities and the country. Never before in the history of the American army have such opportunities of travel been offered. Those seeking more than just seeing the xountry will "have a - splendid chance of making a high office In the men. To the ambitious young man. a promotion at this time will com easy. Promotions are being made every day. Four hundred young men will be chosen from the army to the U. S. Military academ at West Point. Only a fair education along with some common sense and ability to handle man are the required to make an officer. . Every advancement will mean more pay. The war basis pay still holds. Thirty dollars a month with expenses paid while training is the pay. Uncle Sam Is a good paymaster, not only does he pay your expenses but he will give you a training that will aid you the rest of your life. If upon enlisting in the trmy, the prospective soldier learns that he does not like the service he cdn apply for a discharge, after the completion of one year's service. Men who have ben In the service before are given an opportunity to re-enlist for one year; only. Young men under 21 years of

age and over 18 must show a signed certificate from their parents or guardians before they will be accepted in the service. Sergeant Wright . announced that any young men wishing further particulars on the different branches of the service, advancement and chances to be sent to France can receive the same by calling at the army recruiting office at Sixth and Main streets.
