STATE'S TAXABLE
VALUE SHOWS 138 PER CENT INCREASE
Tabulation of assessments abstracts
of the ninety-two counties of Indiana, which has besn completed bjr the state board of tax commissioners, discloses that the total tax duplicate of the state
has increased 138 per cent under tne
operation of the new tax law. The total taxables in the state In 1918 amounted to $2,124,951,446 net,
whereas the new assessments amount to $5,158,730,975. About $100,000,000
in mortgage deductions will be taken from the 1919 figures, leaving the total 1919 duplicate, as it now stands, at
about $5,058,000,000 in round numbers. Members of the state board of tax commissioners declare that the total duplicate will be far larger than $5,000,000,000 before the end of the present session of the board, Aug. 28 Fred A. Sims, chairman of the board, declared that in a number of instances the assessments made by local assessors and by the boards of review will be materially boosted because they are not in line with the true cash value system that has been applied successfully in most instances. The work of boosting the valuations of the delinquent towns, townships, cities and counties will start today, when the board begins its session of equalization. It is believed that the total duplicate will be more than $6,000,000,000 when the state board completes its of Averages. The average tax rate of all municipalities of Indiana in 1918 was $3.01. The law requires that the rate be reduced in the same ratio as the assessments increase. If the $5,000,000,000 figure would stand, and none of the
municipalities was granted authority
to raise more taxes in 1920 than they did this year, the average tax rate for
next year would be $1.27. Wayne county's tax tabulation, as completed, shows that the county has increased from $24,348,950 to $51,406,0S0, and that the average land valuation is $103.68 an acre. Henry county has Increased from $16,000,000 to $44,000,000, Union from $4,500,000 to $12,970,000, and Fayette from $8,691,000 to $19,946,000.

Slight subluxations at this point will cause so-called headaches, eye diseases, deafness, epilepsy, vertigo, Insomnia, wry neck,' facial paralysis, locomotor ataxia, etc. 2. - : A slight subluxation of a vertebra in this part of the spine is the cause of so-called throat trouble, neuralgia, pain in the shoulders and arms, goitre, nervous prostration, la grippe, dizziness, bleeding from nose, disorder of gums, catarrh, etc. 3. The arrow head marked No. 3 locates the part of the spine wherein subluxations will cause so-called bronchitis, felons, pain between the shoulder blades, rheumatism of the arms and shoulders, hay fever, writers' cramp, etc. 4.
