INDIANAPOLIS, May 1. How two state departments, which were organized with no particular consideration Kivon to the way they might interweave their services to the state, have become adjuncts to each other is being exemplified just now in Indianapolis, where the state board of tax commissioners is in session to evaluate property of corporations in Indiana, which do inter-county business. The public service commission, less

I than a year old, already has collected

so much data from public utility companics of the state and has done it so thoroughly where the collections have been made that the state board of tax commissioners has found it comparatively easy to find wher- the 'leaks' are in the stories of attorneys and other representatives of utility companies, when they come before the hoard with hard-luck tales, peeking to have, their proportion of tax-paying lessened by thousands of dollars. Must Tile Schedules. The utilities are compelled to file

schedules of their property, showing its values, with the state board of tax commissioners. These schedules are tiled, of course, for taxpaying purposes and they are correspondingly "cut to the bone" wherever values are mentioned. Now a great many of these same utility companies, forgetting that they also have filed with the public service commission inventories of their property and answers to pertinent questions concerning the values in the property, appear before the tax board with the most jaunty airs Imaginable. There they are being confronted with their sworn values all based on the theory that the values tiled with the public service commission are to be considered eventually for rate-making purposes. These values3, of course, are pushed up to the top-notch. When the attorneys find they are confronted with the public service commission part of their dilemma they make peculiar explanations to the tax board,

! regarding the discrepancies that uniJ formly have been discovered in the an- ; swers to the two lists of questions, i The state tax board is not consider- ! ing the reports to the public service j commission on the values in the Indiana utilities at the figures given therej on, because they realize that there are many elements of a utility business considered in rate making that can I not be considered when making valua- ! tions for taxpaying purposes.

John James. 1111 K. Minor St., was acquitted of a wife desvrtion charge when it was proved in city court Friday morning that, although he may have neglected his wife and had not staved home nights, still the woman had her own money for her support. "Indiana husbands may leave their wives anil need not stay with them proiding the women have enough money for therr support." was a quotation from the state law cited to th' court by the defendant's attorney, and the case was promptly dismissed. Mrs. James admitted that she had some money of her own tied up in an estate at Cassop'Us. Mrs. James said that she had been married four timer.
