TANKS MUST COMB DOWN INDIANAPOLIS, May 21 — T h(>

tide of public opinion is definitely turning toward reduction ol public expenses as the first and most impoitant step in the solution of the

laxation problem of Indiana. Besides the recent reductions in

-chool costs by a number ot boards there have been, within the last few days, significant utterances by a number of public officials and authorities

upon taxation.

The Indiana As.-ociation for Taxi J Justice recently published a study] | which showed that all Indiana taxing, ! units must reduce their 1933 budgets | a tc.tal of $42,000,000 under the pres-1 jent $139,000,000 to bring taxes to the level the people can afford to pay out

lof their impaired incomes.

Last week William A. Hough, of I Greenfield, for eight years a memlier , of the state board of tax commissioners, and recognized throughout the middle w est as an outstanding auth-1

oiity upon taxation, declared:

“Government expenditures must be reduced to fit the income, rather than ] raising income sufficient to meet all the expenditures governmental heads

may wish to make.

“Fifty million dollars a year could he cut from the costs of government i in all pints of the state without damage to vital governmental functions.”. On the same day Governor Harry G. Leslie said: “I’d like to see an organization of five business men and large taxpayers in each county that would scrutinize every public record and expenditure with a view - to check | ing waste and extravagance. There are too many useless job holders; too many manipulators; too many draining the public funds under legal im- i munity. We have been through the whoopee days when nobody thought 1 much of costs. We must go back to some of the old simple ways of liv |

ing.”

The following day State Senator Alonzo Lindly, known us one of the best informed legislators on tax mat ter?, said, “We seemed to get along pretty well back in 1920. That year we directly taxed the people $75,000,000. We could add $10,000,000 to that to take care of bond issues that have been aided and the slight increase •in the p pulation and run our government on $85,000,000 just as effective-

ly this year.”

A few days before President Hoover, specking before the conference of governor.-, -aid of governmental economy, “That is the sure highway to national recovery.” He added, “This duty offers no rosy path to pop ularity. Rather, it is one to invite the anger of established interests . . . i Nevertheless, the duty is inexorable and its discharge rests ineseapahly upon all public officers.” These me statements from men who know the workings of government. It i- significant that the profe sional public spender is maintaining a discreet silence. He knows
