INDIVIDUALS TO BLAME FOR EXCESSIVE TAXES WAYNE FARMERS ARE TOLD AT A BIG SESSION

Taxpayers are themselves to blame for high, taxes and for inefficient or extravagant use of tax money, said Karl Crawford and John J. Brown, chairman of the state tax commission, speaking before Wayne county farmers in the Coliseum Monday night. . "If legislation has discriminated against us in the past," said Crawford, who is the farm bureau district director, "we have only ourselves to blame. We have left all matters of government to others, without even giving them any Information for their guidance. "I have no patience with complaint

made by those who are doing nothing

that that would prove a deterrent in Issuing bonds. Mr. Crawford also stated that limitation of non-taxables would enforce greater interest in tax expenditures among the class now holding those securities, whose income is guaranteed against assessment. Speaks of Meeting . Everett Hunt, who presided over the meeting, called the attention of the audience to the county tax meeting

noon, at the home of the former, on the Middleboro road. George Washington social will be given for all members of the Loyal Neighbors of Maple Leaf camp, Wednesday at 7:30 o'clock in the I. O. O. P. hall. Special speakers and rafreshments will be features.

If we had taken the proper interest in

our taxes and the spending of tax money a few years ago, we would not have such heavy taxes to meet this year. "No farmer should be too busy on primary day to get out and help

choose th best men to manage ouri

affairs. The politicians are following the same old game at the 'love feasts' and conferences you read about. They are rattling the tones of Jefferson and Lincoln and telling you to follow the leader. Prosperity Guides Condition. "Conditions will not improve until the farmer is more prosperous," said

Mr. Brown, "but we must not jolly,

us. "Taxes can only be reduced by reducing expenses." said Brown. "Lower land valuations, would not help. If a dollar is spent for public improvement, it must be paid by the public. Your heaviest expense here in Wayne county is for your schools. Only $5.29 of every $100 paid by you in taxes, i;oes for state purposes. "State administration expense takes 71 rents, $2.91 goes to state benevol. ent institutions, 29 cents to the state memorial and $1.39 to the state colleges. All the rest, $94.71, of every $100, is spent in Wayne county. Schools take $42.77, highways take $15.05. county administration, $10.28; township administration, $2.79; cities and towns. $23.03; and the poor, 80 cents. Lower Rates Here. "If you want taxes lowered, the place to do it is right here in Wayne county. Don't grumble at your high taxes when you come to the courthouse to pay them, and then sign a petition for some expensive improvement as you go out. Keep down improvements while taxes come so haru, examine your expenses and help your officials in getting more efficient service and cheaper improvements. "It has been too easy to get ourselves into debt. Whenever we wanted to build a road or a bridge or :. school, some bank or trust company stood ready to lend the money on bonds, and we looked on as if bond issues were no concern oE ours. Yet .n Marion county, there are over millions of bonds, and if there were no other expenses for years, theie would be heavy taxes to just pay the interest on that debt. Denies Petitions. ; "The state tax commission has denied 73 per cent of the petitions for improvements that were objected to by 10 of more taxpayers, as we believe costs of construction are too muc.i out of line now. We can do nothing with units that are agreed upon bond;or homxt.lves. however, unless tho

"Indiana farm land bears a smaller ,,,-oportion of the tax expense than last year." said Mr. Brown, who showed that in consequence of the true value valuation law, real estate taxes it vpar hore only 61.38 percent

nf the total tax, against 64.36 percent ihe year before. Taxes are bound to

be high for some time uu aa-uum the hugh debts resulting from the war, amounting to $1,130 per family oS live against a pre-war family debt ot 555.' and increase of more than .o times. Valuations Varied. Valuations on which taxes were assessed in Indiana two years ago varied from 14-7 percent of the true value to 1 16 percent of the true value in the rase of personal property, said the speaker. Corporations were usually assessed higher than the average of other property, and were suing against payment on the complaint of discrimination In Chicaeo a company re

covered a half million of taxes paid nnder these, circumstances. The pres-' ent law provides for a true, full cash, valuation, as a basis for levying taxes. This valuation is described as the sum the property will bring at the assessing date, when sold at a customary and usual price agreed upon between ; willing seller and a willing buyer.

Strong disapproval of non-taxable securities was voiced by Mr. Brown, who said that the ease of selling them lias made Indebtedness too easy for many communities, as well as enabling much property to escape taxation. Upon a point raised by A. L. Baldwin of Webster, that taxation of bond3 would mean a higher rate of interest, the speaker agreed, saying, however,

OUCH! LUMBAGO! RUB PAINS FROM SORE, LAME BACK Back hurt you? Can't straighten up without feeling sudden pains, sharp aches and twinges? Now lsten!

Get a f.mall trial bottle of old honest "St. Jacobs Oil" from any drug store, and ;fter using it just once, you'll forget that you ever had backache, lumbago cr sciatica, because your back will npver hurt, or cause any more misery.

Everyday Ad-Ventures

That's What You Call Service When you collect your best letters of recommendation and put on your neatest clothes and start going the rounds of the business houses with whom you'd like to establish a payroll acquaintance And you find that your letters gain you interviews with a number of prominent employers and you're sure that you've made a good impression, but each one of them tells you that there isn't an opening of any sort with them And you're feeling thoroughly discouraged until you think a little further and a brand new idea explodes within your troubled mind and that is that maybe if EVERY employer in the city knew about you, one of them might take you on And so you stop at the Palladium office and get a trained ad taker to help write an ad telling all about your experience and ambition And two days later you feel like shouting at the top of your voice "I was RIGHT!" as you come out of an interview with the head of a good firm who "just happened" to be wanting a man and read your ad in the Situation Wanted column!
