GOVERNOR OTIS R. Bowen made a special appeal for unity recently when he and Mrs. Bowen hosted a picnic for Republican county and district chairmen and vice chairmen in Indianapolis. About 220 party leaders and guests attended the event. Addressing ths national contest between President Ford and Governor Carter. Dr. Bowen said “that enough people have perceived Carter as an honest, sincere and Christian man to make him the current favorite in the polls. I don’t downplay that nor do I dislike it. For, if he should win, I hope he’s all of that. Don’t knock it. You don’t have to. In fact, making light of it would in my opinion be harmful. "Stay positive. Ask the people: Is he (Carter) more honest, is he more sincere, is he a better Christian than President Ford.” "SERIOUS PROBLEMS continue to plague Indiana’s home building industry and chief among them is the upcoming property tax reassessment,” contended Larry Conrad, Democratic nominee for governor in a speech before the Evansville Home Builders’ Association. “In 1973 we were promised ‘substantial and lasting* property tax relief under the Bowen taxing plan. We now find that reassessment will increase property valuations anywhere from 30 to 100 per cent.” Conrad said. ON THE other side of the coin an item in the August 8 Indianapolis Star reads as follows: If you are a political candidate who plans to criticize Governor Otis R Bowen's property tax restructuring program, beware. Doc is watching you. Larry A. Conrad, the Democratic gubernatorial nominee, recently attacked aspects of the tax program in a speech at Mount Vernon, Ind. The local newspaper carried a report on the speech, including a quote from Conrad that the doubling of the state sales tax under the restructuring program costs him an additional S4OO a year in taxes. This statement caught the eye of Bowen, who hires a newspaper clipping service to keep him abreast of such things. Doc’s quick arithmetic led him to determine that if Conrad’s statement was accurate, it would mean he is spending the improbable figure of $20,000 annually on non-food items. PRESIDENT GERALD Ford’s Indiana campaign will be run entirely by Hoosiers, rather than "carpetbaggers left over from the McGovern campaign.” said Bruce B. Melchert, President Ford's newly-appointed Indiana campaign manager. Melchert promised a strong organizational effort in Indiana, closely coordinating the president’s campaign with the campaigns of Governor Otis R. Bowen, senatorial nominee Richard G. Lugar, the 10 congressional candidates and other Republican candidates SHERM was recently named Kosciusko county campaign chairman for John B. Augsburger. republican candidate for state senator. Taylor resides at Country Club drive. Warsaw. Mr. Augsburger said he was pleased to have a man of Taylor's capabilities heading the county campaign for the 13th district. This district includes northern Kosciusko county and all of Steuben. Noble and LaGrange.

It passed ... we won! Last Thursday the house approved perhaps the single most important piece of legislation we will handle this year — the tax reform act of 1976. Included in the 1,500 page bill are sections dealing with reform of estate and gift tax laws, something that I’ve been working on for a long time. Every parent who wants to pass on something the family owns to their children will benefit from this bill. By increasing the inheritance tax exemption level from the present $60,000 to $175,000. millions of Americans will find relief from burdensome taxes that fall heavily upon us when the head of the household dies. By improving spouse-to-spouse transfer provisions, the years of toil of a farm wife will not be lost when her husband dies. Other good features were incorporated into this massive bill, too. We extended last year’s income tax cuts for another year. We tightened some loopholes which have enabled giant corporations to pay little or no taxes at all. We simplified some individual tax credits and deductions. But to me. the most important facet of this great victory was evidence that representative democracy does, indeed, work. In my town meetings throughout the second district, in my conversations individually with citizens, in the letters I receive daily from Indiana. I am constantly reminded of howimportant estate tax reform is to the families I represent. It’s just wrong, in my opinion, for a tax law to keep a father from passing his farm on to his son. It’s wrong when taxes are so high upon death that part of an estate has to be sold just to pay off the government. But it is right that the people have demanded changes in the law to correct the present unfairness. More than 5.500 citizens signed the petitions I circulated in support of estate tax reform. When I testified before the ways and means committee last spring in support of my own inheritance tax reform bill. I presented these petitions. Later, in my conversations with the key authors of tax legislation, I reminded them of the strong support for estate tax reform among the people I represent. I told them that this was the one issue, more than any other, that united people of all political persuasions. And when a parliamentary maneuver by one of the leaders of my own party resulted in the estate tax bill being pulled from the calendar, I joined dozens of other congressmen in demanding that this issue be brought before the house. The result was our great success last week. After the house vote, I wrote a letter to President Ford, urging him not to veto the tax reform act. This is far too important an issue, in my mind, to become the victim of election year politics. I hope that he will sign the bill.

I’m still not satisfied that the tax laws we now have on the books are totally fair. We have a great deal more work to do if we are to continue the reforms achieved by the vote last week. Disgraceful loopholes still blot the law books and one case after another of unfair tax burdens on working families can be cited. But we have taken a good first step. To the thousands of second district citizens who joined me in this fight for fairer taxes. I send my thanks. Together, we have won a major battle. Bethel men hold camp-out The Men’s Fellowship group of the Bethel Church of the Brethren held a camp-out over the week end, September 18 and 19. in Snider’s woods near New Paris The outing began with preparation of the stew, which they cooked in a seven-gallon kettle over an open fire. Following the stew supper, a business meeting was held and officers for the new church year were elected. They are: Terry Thompson — president Delbert Moneyheffer — vice president Neal Cory — treasurer After a breakfast of bacon and eggs cooked over a fire Sunday morning, church services were conducted in the woods. The congregation was invited to the services and a dinner of beef and noodles was served afterwards. Women of the church supplied salads and desserts. The church service and dinner attracted 82 people and there were 40 men involved in the campout.
