MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP LEGISLATI01 WILL INCREASE TAX BURDEN 0 FARMERS AND OTHER TAXPAYER!
"DILLS havp bppn introHuccid in the special session -i-T of the Indiana legislature for the promotion of municipal ownership of public utilities which are revolutionary in character. If they are enacted into laws and a program of extension of public ownership is carried on, they will result in increased taxation throughout the state. Municipal plants pay no taxes. The privately owned public utilities of Indiana pay approximately $25,000.000 annually for the support of the state, county, township and city governments and the public school system. ek-sw -wr;This company and associated companies under the same general management, are paving this year a total of $4,465,730 in Mate and local taxes in Indiana, on their properties, exclusive of electric railways.

If these bills are enacted into laws, every time a municipality acquires a public utility property, that property will be taken off the tax duplicate. That means that the amount of taxes it has b**en paying must be made up by the other tax* payers of the state. Farmers and other taxpayers will he forced to pay more taxes every time taxpaying properties are taken off the tax duplicate. .—,— ~
Not only will the taxes of citizens in the town adopting municipal ownership be raised, but farmers and others living outside the city will be obliged to pay additional county and state taxes to make up the loss of tax revenue due to the taking of property off the tax rolls.
