Roughly 125,000 miles of roads will i he kept open throughout the five 1 months in which heavy snowfalls may l lie expected. Five thousand or son and snow removal outfits, consisting of tractors or tiucks equipped with inquisitive snouts, together with preventative measures -uch as the placement of -now fences, will bring the snow removal cost to about one million dol-

lars.

Yet this is considered by highway authorities to he a small outlay in consideration of the benefits that accure to those communities keeping open their most important lines of communication. A scant decade ago snow removal for the most, part meant digging a trench from the farmhouse to the barn. When paved roads came into style and proved to the hopeful public that mud could be conquered, the asporation of early Americans for yeararound tiavei became first a possibility and soon as reality. Most paved roads, with their firm, unreliable surfaces, in the .'16 states included in the snow belt, are traversed by plows shortly after the snowfall reaches a depth of five inches or so. Michigan, typical of the states of heavy fulls, pays out about seven per cent of state load maintenance funds for snow removal. For this sum, three months or more are added to the period of usefulness of several thousand miles of roads. C. M. Babcock, commissioner of highways, Minnesota, points out that in his state last winter $520,000 was spent for snow removal in three months. During this time the gasoline tax collection- amounted to $8.10,000. Only a fraction of this sum could have been expected if the feathery burden had not been shifted from the main routes. Further, it indicates an economic stability that could not have been obtained otherwise. The mud-bound as well as the snowbound season is fast disappearing and thi- disappearance is the gieatest tribute that can be given the pavement.

LEAVE TAX LAW ALONE INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 7.—Any attempt to weaken or repeal the taxpayer control features of the Indiana tax law will mean higher taxes in the -tate, according to the Indiana Tax-

payers’ Association.

In a pamphlet issued today the association reviews the benefits gained by taxpayers of the state through the

operation of the law.

The title of the pamphlet proclaims that “In Indiana the taxpayers control the taxes," and a subjoined sentence urges them to “keep it that way”. Taxes in Indiana are lower, it is declared, than in states of comparable population ami wealth where control by taxpayers of levies and bond issues does not exist. “The problem of taxation rests solely on the amount of public money that is spent,” said Harry Miesse, secretary of the association. “If more

i* spent, taxes must rise.

I hrough its appellate provisions the Indiana law enables taxpayers to carry budgets, levies or bond issues to the state tax board for review and possible reduction when they feel that the outlays are excessive, or that the proposed improvements or governmental activities are unnecessary. ‘A* our new pamphlet shows, all restraints on taxation were removed in 1920 for one year, and in 1921 collections jumped altout $16,000,000, or nearly 50 percent beyond 1920. “Any weakening of the taxpavercontrol features of the law will bring the taxpayers of Indiana face to face with annual boosts almost as large as that of 1921. Members of our association are convinced that the people of Indiana are not in ‘any mood to

encourage such increases.

“The Indiana law as it stands now supplies an effective means of keeping taxes within reason, and 1 am confident that the people want it to re-

main that way."

The association estimates that the -living in taxes can be conservatively estimated at $10,000,000 annually for the last eight years, or a total of

$80,000,000.

“These figures are based on a comparison of Indiana’s record with the results for the same period In other state where taxpayers have been Without the means of protecting themselves against unwise and imprudent public spending,” the pamphlet de-

Harr*.

“Indiana has achieved these results througli the present tax law. The success of this plan has attracted national attention. Several other states have a.lopted or are considering the adoption of vital provisions of the l n - diuna system. “The Indiana plan realizes more

After one year of experience with unrestrained expenditure, the pamphlet points out, the state returned to the control system. The increase annually since 1921 has been normal. For the most part it has reflected no more than the reasonable and legitimate needs of a growing state. But that result has been achieved only because the people of the state have retained for themselves an effective weapon to stop wild spending of public fumls,” the pamphlet continues. “The experience of the lost night years shows that the people are keenly alert to the value of the tax

control law.
