COUNTIES REAFFIRM ; HORIZONTAL RAISES AS WISEST POLICY

Sixteen county boards of review have affirmed the 1919 horizontal increases in their reassessments of property under the Tuthill-Kiper curative tax law. The counties which have certified to the state board the exact equalization figures made last year are St. Joseph, Vanderburg, Hendricks, Allen, Wayne, Starke. Decatur, Owen, Pulaski, Randolph. Steuben and Wells. The state board has been Informed that Pike, Spencer and Henry counties have legalized the horizontal increases without change, but the official certification has not reached the office of the state board. The only counties that have refused to legalize horizontal increases and

have ordered them wiped off the duplicate are Johnson, Shelby and Boone. In Boone county some of the 1919 horizontals were unchanged, but 6ome reductions were made in personal property increases. Marion county also has made some reductions from the horizontal increases on real estate and Improvements. The granting of this optional power to the counties was not feared by leaders in the legislature who foresaw that the sensible thing for the counties to do would be to legalize the 1919 action of the state board. Otherwise, as one state official put it, they would merely "be chasing the devil around a stump." Same Result in End By this he meant that the elimination of the assessment increases will in nowise reduce the amount of taxes the citizens of the particular county will have to pay in the end. a lio pointed out that in case the as4ssments go down one of three things must happen to raise revenue sufficient to operate the local government. Either the state board must apply a county-wide horizontal increase in assessments to bring the duplicate of the county up to the figures realized by the 1919 intracounty horizontals, or th? levies must be increased so that they will yield the same amount of revi nue on lower assessments. Failing to do either of these things, the problem is merely put off one year. As the expenditures of the county have bfen based on levies computed on the 1919 assessments plus the increases, it is obvious that a reduction of assessments will result in a treasury deficit. The money must be borrowed by the county at 7 per cent interest. When the levies are fixed this year for taxes fo be paid next year the temporary loans so made must be taken into consideration and the levyIncreased so that funds will bo available not only to pay off the debt, but the interest.

being prepared for market increased from 52,000 to 144,000, of 177 per cent, but considering the meat value of the various classes of animals the increase In the number of sheep does not amount to a great deal.

Prohibition Spoils Demand For Free Beds By the Wayfarers (By Associated Press) CHICAGO. Aug. 9. Demand for private rooms, with sunshine and hot and cold running water, has supplanted that for a dime "flop" among wayfaring working men since the country went dry, according to observations of the Salvation army. Lieutenant Colonel Emil Marcussen, head of the Industrial department for

the army for tne states west oi mu Mississippi, said today: "The day of the dormitory, or more rccurately, the 'flop house' has passed. The kind of men who used to come to us seeking beds, or glad to get them tor a dime, now ask for private rooms. Since prohibition became effective, I have closed several of our working men's hotels. "There is a real need for good, modern hotels for men at reasonable prices, and those which we have are run along such lines. Our Working Men's Palace in Chicago has 571 beds. Throe years ago, we would have found ten or "twelve men in the Palace with bank accounts. Last month there were 312 men in that hotel who carried bank books. "In the old days, on cleaning out the dormitories where the transients slept, we would find many empty bottles on the floor. Now it is very seldom that a bottle shows up. The story is the same in every city. As for the industrial homes, they used fo contain many young men who ceased to be producers, and who had to be made over into good citizens and wage earners. Today there is hardiy an able-boditd man in any ndustrial home in the United States."
