On Feb. 3 local officials learned that Mrs. Jacona-Miller-Berend was contemplating marriage with William Gill. She was asked regarding her alleged marriage with Berend, and denied it. Prosecutor Beckett stated. Sufficient evidence to prevent the marriage was not in the hands of local officials at that time, and the marriage was made. Mrs. Gill says that she is not guilty of bigamy, it is said. She says that she received a paper from Berend in Arizona which was supposed to annul the marriage. This was not sworn to before a notary and no grounds for Annulment were set forth, according to Mr. Beckett. She was taken to the Home for lYiendless Women pending arraignment and trial.

One hundred per cent assessed valuation of property, real and personal, was urged by James Showalter, representative of the state tax board, at a meeting of township assessors and their deputies held in the county superintendent's office at the court house Monday morning. "In the past the idea of assessors has been that all classes of property are not alike. The state tax law does not provide for any classification only 100 per cent valuation. If a man has $1,000 in cash he is taxed for that; if a man has a farm worth $200 an acre he should be taxed for that and not as if it was worth $75 an acre," Mr. Showalter said.

model, make and year together with valuation. Horses and mules will be listed according to age. Farm implements will be listed separately and in complete form. Mr. Showalter urged all the assessors to realize that when they were making assessments they were not making taxes but that a certain amount had to be raised through taxes, so that their duty was to get an equit

able value of all property so that!

taxes would be evenly distributed. Based on Property. The Indiana tax law was said to be a good law. That it could not be perfect under the present system of assessment, was acknowledged, its basis being" on property and not on people was given as one of its strongest features. "The trouble in the past has been that the larger and more valuable a piece of property has been, the lower its assessment," he said. This goes back to early times when the poor bore all the burden of taxation, it was pointed out, and the present system of society is trying to get away from this old idea and place the taxes on those most able to bear them.
