OVER 300 ATTEND CHURCH DEDICATION; $4,100 SUBSCRIBED WHITEWATER. Ind., June 20. The dedication of the new Whitewater Christian church Sunday was attended by over 300 people, according to the number served at the dinner -which followed the ceremonies. Music by the choir from New Paris, a trio from Whitewater, and a quartette from the Richmond Christian church, and readings by Miss Thelma Thomas, of Richmond, with the dedication by C. W. Cauble, of Indianapolis, assisted by Rev. W. J. Wright, of Whitewater, comprised the ceremonies. Subscription of $f,10O or $100 more

than was asked to finish paying for

the new church, was made during the day. Over J 12,000 already had been subscribed for the building which, it is estimated, has cost about $19,000, in

cluding the work, much of which was

aonaiea. Rev. Murray, of the Richmond Christian church, and Rev. Ulmer, Methodist minister at Whitewater, were present at the dedication.

cape without paying one cent" of fed-; eral taxation, either direct or indirect. The only logical method of relieving the present oppressive taxes upon business is to place a proportion of this amount upon land values, which, after all, are created by the community and rightly can be taken by the community in the form of taxation. Hits Mining Land "Excluding agricultural land in actual use, practically no productive farms would be taxed under this bill,' continued Mr. Keller. "The total worth of land values in the United States is approximately $108,0OO,0(T0,000. About $45,000,000,000 of this amount consists of land which ha3 iron, copper, lead, zinc, gold, silver, marble, granite, coal, timber, oil and gas deposits; about $40,000,000,000 consists of city, town and suburban lots; about $12,000,000,000 consists of franchises, pipe lines, stockyards, railroad rights of way, terminals and gov

ernment land grants; about $8,000.-1

000,000 consists of timber rights and timber lands and about $3,000,000,000 are in the form of water powers, fishing grounds, harbors and . water fronts. "A one per cent tax on these holdings, after deducting improvements and allowing the $10,000 exemption, would produce approximately $895.-

000,000 annually and about $85,000,000' more would come from the owners of unused agricultural land who are holding it out of use for speculative purposes. For instance, three railroads, the Northern Pacific, the Southern Pacific and the Santa Fe, still own a total of 33,493,000 acres of undeveloped land, or enough, if divided into 80-acre tracts, to give decent homes to more than 400,000 of our tenant farmers. Under the land values bill the speculative holders of land would ray more taxes than all the producing farmers in America." Figures in Indiana. A statistical table prepared by Representative Keller shows that the last census report lists 205,126 farms in Indiana. He estimates that 186.509 Indiana farmers, including 65,587 tenant farmers and 120,922 owning farmers having land worth less than $10,000 after deducting the value of all improvements, would be exempt from the provisions of his bill. He figures that the number of Indiana owning farmers who would pay $1 or more taxes would be 18,564, or nine per cent of the number of farmers in the state.

The committee of hospital consultants of the United States Public Health Service held meetings Friday and Saturday of last week to consider

"Industry pays a total of more than $4,000,000,000 annually, while land values only pay a total of about $600,000,000, derived in the form of transfer taxes and income taxe-s from rents and profits on sales and re-sales of realty. The injustice of this distribution of taxes is apparent. But, this is not all. Between 50 and 60 billion dollars worth of vacant land and unused natural resources cs-
