HEAVIER TAX BURDEN

—o—

A bulletin issued by the Indiana Taxpayers' Association a few days ago showed that fifty-three of the 280 bills introduced in both blanches of the legislature up to that time pro- \ idl'd for an increase in state or local taxes. Since then 119 additional bills have been introduced and 11 of them tend to bring a heavier tax burI den on the public. We realize that some of these bills ought to pass. But we also realize that a situation of the most serious nature confronts not only the general assembly but 1he people of Indiana as well. The danger always exists that a session will come to the log rolling phase where trades will he made in voting to the end that bills may have favorable consideration. One member will vote to increase the co-t of government in many cases simply because he wishes to obtain votes for a pet measure of his own. There is talk now of increasing the state tax rate from 28 to 80 cents. There are demands for salary increases, new courts, special levies, new departments and so on, to the end that by another year the citizens of Indiana may be saddled with a tax burden heavy enough to break their backs. The prospect of raising many additional millions through levies of one sort or another merely means getting that much more money to spend. We ought to take the position that not a dollar will lie appropriated for an\thing we can do without. Many of the needs are so urgent that they must be met but others are tax-eat-ing meaures and can well fie rejected. In the end the legislature will do what the people demand and if the taxpayers insist upon economy they wdll get it.

The city firemen were called to the apartment of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Buster at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Seller, east Walnut street, Tuesday evening about 5:80 o’clock to extinguish a flaming coal oil stove Only slight damage resulted.

by various countries in all parts of

the world.

As a result, since the enactment of the eight-hour labor convention by the first international labor conference at Washington in 1919 a total of 333 ratifications of international labor conventions have been made bycountries all over the world. The convention that has secured the greatest number of ratifications to date is the one seeking to regulate the problem of unemployment which has now been accepted hy 33 differ-

ent states.

After that comes the convention prohibiting night work by young persons which has been ratified hy 21 nations; then the convention fixing the minimum age limit for the employment of children at sea by 21

states.

The other most widely accepted conventions are those fixing the minimum age for the employment of young person- as trimmers and stokers on board -hips, ratified by 20 nations; for compulsory medical examination of young persons and children employed at sea, ratified by 20 states; assuring equality of treatment for national and foreign workmen as regards the application of workmen’s compensation for accidents, ratified hy 20 states, and prohibiting the employment of women in night work which is now in force in 20 different countries. The steady progress that is being made in thus building up a uniform world-wide legislation on behalf of the working classes is demonstrated by the fact that against the eightyfive ratifications of labor conventions that were secured the past year, only thirty-three were secured in 1927 and I only 29 during the year previous.
