$100,000,000 MORE ON INDIANA'S TAX BLANKS THIS YEAR

Local taxing officials hare assessed

personal property In Indiana this year In excess of $100,000,000 over the total property duplicate of the state for

1919. Including the horizontal Increases

In assessments made by the state

board of tax commissioners last year.

This rough estimate of the increase

in the personal property duplicate for

1920 was compiled today from the

county abstracts which are now on file with the state tax board. Fred A. Sims, chairman of the state tax board. Bald that a portion of the Increase in the duplicate can be accounted for by the normal Increase In. property in the state and by appreciation in value since 1919, but that the bulk of the Increase can be attributed to only one thing that the local assessors have been successful In getting more property listed at a figure more- nearly approximately true cash value as the law of Indiana demands. 1919 Valuation Was $1,152,665,023 In 1919 the counties of Indiana reported to the Btate board of tax commissioners a total valuation for personal property of 11,012,545,580. Upon review of the assessments it was found that assessors In some townships had

lived up to the letter of the law pro

viding for true cash valuation, in others the assessors had not achieved this end. As a result, in the process of actualization by horizontal increases

In townshiD units, which power of the

tax board the Supreme court' has denied, approximately $140,000,000 was added. Thus the 1919 personal property valuation for the entire state for last year (Including the horizontal .Increases) was $1,152,665,023.

KV .This year the people of the state

have voluntarily suDraiuea, or nave been forced to list by their local assessors, a valuation $240,000,000 higher than they turned in locally last year and $100,000,000 higher than the total achieved by the application of the 1919 increases. The approximate total for personal property this year will therefore be $1,252,666,000. Board's Right Still In Force. The state tax board's right to equalize between counties Is still in force, as it has been for many years, and this total may be increased by raising the valuations in some counties which are not up to the standard set by the majority of the counties. Aside from the increase in personal property there will be added to the duplicate this year approximately $25,000,000 which represented omitted property that has been uncovered and placed on the duplicate and improvements placed on real estate In the last year. One of the primary objects of the state tax board in administering the new tax law was to get the assessments up to true cash value in every Instance so as to protect the honest taxpayer who voluntarily lived up to the letter of the law and made complete returns.

On the, very evening that the task was completed the structure was deliberately bombed and In a few minutes was a smouldering ruin, with the bodies of men and women strewn about under the debris. A few days later work was started on a block of frame buildings. Lightning efforts resulted in the completion of this task in a week's time. But a half hour was enough to burn them down.

These are two of the most spectacular scenes In the new Ince production, "Dangerous Hour," which will

be shown at the Murray theatre for

the last half of this week. An unusually dramatic story

promised in this big picture, with the

current labor unrest and the menace of Bolshevism as a background.

Though the action is developed through a series of thrilling episodes

employing hundreds of people, a ten

involving a young, misguided viaion-

I MURRETTE In a bear-pit in the arctic David Ralne faced the hulking, brutish giant of a mountaineer. Like cave men of the stone age, they began their battle for the possession of a woman. One saw her soul, the other her body. Pitted against this mountain of

flesh and bone, David's chances were slim. Blow after blow he landed on the brutish hulk; twice they circled the blood-spattered arena. David's face was warm with tho gore of his enemy. But, battered and swollen, the giant came on and on. David was not battling for victory, but for his

life. He was literally beating himself to pieces, like a ship hammering on a

reef.

Like a maddened monster, the giant

kept coming on, always trying for that fatal clinch. And David knew it. There was still one last chance -one hope. It was the terrible trick of the bush country the so-called "knee break" that he had seen used before with terrible effect. , Suddenly he shot himself out 160 pounds of bone and sinew straight as an arrow,, against the brute's knees, and the gory giant went down like a stricken deer.

Both in the stage and screen, Mr. Barrymore was formerly famous for the youthful, frivolous characters that he created. A Barrymore play or picture wan always a laughing success. Then suddenly John Barrymore found his true forte. 'He was cast in the leading role of "Justice," Galsworthy's powerful story, and people wondered if this could be the same man. His performance was a revelation. He followed It with s?uch pictures as "The Test of Honor" and "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" and puch stage creations as "Redemption," "Peter Ibbetson." and "The Jest." At no time has Mr. Barrymore given a more artistic Interpretation than he offers as the unfortunate young doctor in "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde."

MUNCIE. Ind.. July 30. "V never

recommend Trutona to the hundreds

who know me if I wasn't thoroughly

satisfied of its merits," says Mrs. Julia Cryer, a well-known Muncie nurse, who lives at 1523 South Franklin street. "I began using Trutona after I had suffered for ten years from Indigestion. I had previously tried numberless medicines, but none of them helped me. Gas would form in my stomach after meals, and I'd always feel bloated. I had to take a laxative every day or so." "I could tell Trutona was helping me after the first few doses. Now, no matter what I eat, I'm not bothered with gas formations or the bloating, and I don't have to use laxatives any more. My kidneys have ceased to bother me at night, too." "I have been nursing the sick for the past twenty years, and I know the effect of a medicine on a person. By this fact, I know I'm safe in recommending Trutona to my hundreds of friends. The Perfect Tonic is certainly well worthy of my unstinted praise." Trutoaa is really a medicine of unusual merit. It is unsurpassed as a reconstructive agency, system purifier and body invlgorant. Trutona has been declared peerless as a treatment for 6tomach, liver and bowel troubles. Trutona Is sold in Richmond at Quiglay's Drug Stores. Advertisement.

Perhaps the best of all the Curwood tales is "The Courage of Marge O'Doone". Certainly it is one of the most dramatic and thrilling pieces "of fiction that has come from the pen of James Oliver Curwood. The story moves rapidly and holds the interest from the first flash. The scenic beauty of the backgrounds and their appropriateness to the action are the acme of motion picture photography. A real bear fight; an outlaw dog, wild and ferocious, and the photograph of a beautiful girl, play important parts In the 6tory. It is a picture you will remember for a long time and one that you cannot afford to miss. Also the 9th Episode of The Lost City The Big Wild Animal Serial
