TAX RATE MAY BE $1.30; WAS $3.01 BY 1918 VALUES

The state municipal tax rate of $3.01 In 1918, may fall to about $1.30 for 1919, if the estimates of the state board of tax commissioners are right. According to rough estimates of the tax board the 1919 aggregate valuation of property for taxing purposes will show an increase of $4,000,000,000 over the 1918 figures of $2,124,961.44(5. as a result of truer assessing of property under the new tax law. Compilation of abstracts from the counties, now In the hands of the tax board, computed with the abstract of the board's assessments shows that the gross state total now is $5,158,730,975. However, this figure is subject to mortgage deductions of probably $100,000,000 and to increases and decreases for some counties, when the state tax board completes Its work

of reviewing county assessments now under way. Personals Given Personal property of corporations and individuals this year and last and real estate and improvements for this year and last are as follows: Personal, 1919, $1,941,55.070; 1918, $904,926,816. Real estate and improvements, 1919, $3,217,074,645; 1918, $1,-390,165,975.

The assessments of Indiana counties as a whole show that they more than doubled their aggregate assessments under the new tax law, as compared with last year's assessments, which were made under the old law. The 1919 total county assessment is $4,188,730,715. while the 1918 total was $2,015,165,975. Wayne county's total for 1918 was $36,875,310, while the 1919 total, as fixed by the tax commissioners, is $70,495,260. However, the 1919 figures are still subject to changes.

Farmer Not Profiteer, Says Federation Head, In Indianapolis Speech The farmer is not to blame for the present era of high prices, according to W. H. Hickman, of Montpeller, vice-president of the Indiana Federation of Farmers' Associations and general manager of its $200,000 guaranty fund campaign, in a fcpeech at the opening of the fund campaign in Indianapolis. "Our idea in the federation." said

Hickman, "is to protect the farmer against the profiteer and in so doing to help the customer to do the same thing. As I see it, the public and the farmer are caught as between the upper and nether millstones represented by organized capital and organized labor. Neither the fanner, as a producer, or the public as a consumer, is organized. "Hundreds of members of the Indiana Federation of Farmers' Associations will testify that the high prices paid for foodstuffs have not

found their way into their pockets." The campaign for the $200,000 fund will last until September 20.

for pipes. Wholesome and hearty, honest as the day. And Velvet is that same good Burley leaf; brought to mellow middle ago.

Out Velvet comes cool, calm and generous the tobacco Nature made good, kept good and made better.

Velvet's sweetness is the sweetness of good tobacco, not "put on" like "frosting" on a cake. Its mildness comes from natural ageing, not from having the life baked out Its fragrance is true tobacco fragrance, not a perfume. And Velvet makes an A Number One cigarette. Roll one. As good old Velvet Joe says: "Fill yo' heart with friendly thoughts, Yo' mouth with friendly smoke An' let the old world wag."
