by Arthur Brisbane WHERE TO HIT THE HORSE FIGHTING CHINESE WOMEN FIGHTERS ARE ALIKE HIRAM JOHNSON SUGGESTS

Uncle Sam moat raise; hundreds of millions more in taxes, unless he ecopomfzes, and that he will not do, to any extent. Some said “tax the heavily-taxed big incomes more heavily." But that would discourage enterprises that give work to the idle. A general manufacturers’ tax of 1 per cent was suggested and expected to yield $600,000,009. 1 The drop in manufacturing would now cut that sum to $400,090,000, and the tax would discourage employment. Income tax, custofns receipts, are off, but thirteen hundred! million extra dollars must befound somewhere. Where to hit a tired horse to make him go faster is the problem. Some say a general sales tax,, hitting the horse! gently, everywhere at once would J>e the best plah. China's war takes you back to the mythical days of the Amazons. Harvey Duncan and Carl Lenic.ke, American business men on their way from Shanghai’s foreign settlement to Woosung fort, were stopped by a regi-J ment of short, thick-sCt Chinese Women, wearing earrings and carrying old muskets with bayoftets. They were I holding trenches that protected their village. The two Americans turned back, the ladies spoke no English. Later the same Americans tried d’gain and found Japanese Occupying those trenches, taken with, machine gun fire. Twenty-four • ofl the Chinese fighting women ha<| been buried. ’ Their willingness to be killed may. mean trouble that did not anticipate in her Chinese venture. ! Japan announces that, in spite of sad events in China, she, Japan, favors disarmament. In this she is at least as sincere as anjy Other nations, for Japan will need, for the present.' only as much armamfnt as is needed to give her what she‘wants in Chtfia. A modest armament I will suffice for her fighting needs there, since Japan feels able to attack a nation of 400,000,000 with an-army of 40,000. Junnosuke Inouye. formerly Japan’s finance minister, was murdered. He was killed because he disapproved of Japan’s war in China. He talked peace,, and those that do not want it shot him three times. That is not “Asiatlic barbarism,” it is the dbual thing. -When the great war began Jean JaUres,. one of the •blest men of France, was murdered. His crime was the same as that of Junnouske Inouye- |he did not approve the war. Even in- this enlightened country we were ready to jail anybody not in favor of hanging the kaiser, and y<>u were not a good American if you refused to believe trait Germans were Crucifying enemy soldiers alive, against barn doors and other locations convenient for driving nails. Human beings are much alike, especially when they fight. ' France declined ■to pay what sfie owned this country and Andrew Jackson said a refusing to pay, should have his j property seized. France ultimately: paid. We cannot seise international (property for debt, and Senator Hiram Johnson suggests an excellent substitute. He offers aj bill strictly forbidding the. sale here of any securities, jby any nation that , has defaulted on Ha, obligations to the I United States. Fofeigfiers would not like to be cut off i from this financial sugar bowl. Will (Rogers, back from a tour around the world, says, “In Europe, when ycra’re introduced to J somebody they say, ’Glad to meet you, cancel the debts.]” Hiram Johnson’s suggestions might cure that. • f I Through its able and usually very conservative president, Wm. Green, the American Federation of Labor tells what it wants. It demands relief from the national government, in the form of a great public works pro-' gram that would supply employment, “at prevailing rates of wages, on all government jobs;” The program (demands beer, with ( two and seventyrfive one hundredths per cent alcohol The federation, like a famous Englishman, may well be; “ amazed at its own moderation." Two | seventy-five it weak beerfl The labor program demands higher taxes on big incomes and inheritances, a five-day week and deportation of any Chinese sailors in this country. Higher taxes on successful men would persuade those men that this is not the time to •tart any new i labor-employing enterprises Labor, being intelligent, should know that big business doth not work entirely for its health, or to supply politicians with taxes for their amusement. The government Says we have more gold than we need. So one billion dollars’ worth of the metal will be “released," to increase credit and “bring hick prosperity."

STATE SCHOOL INSPECTOR HERE—APPROVES SYRACUSE SCHOOLS

After making an inspection of Syracuse schools, Tuesday, Clarence Murray, state inspector of schools stated that the Syracuse schools are in excellent shape and the school teachers doing splendidly. The policy of the department k at present, he explained, is to keep the schools and their equipment up to iheir present efficiency with the minimum of expenditures. He compared the management of schools to farms and said if the fences of a farm are allowed to fall down and if no repairs are made on the buildings, a great deal of money will have to be spent to make the farm a good one. '■ The same thing applies to schools, he said. A certain amount of money ought to be used , every year for maintenance purposes, to keep the schools operating efficiently. If this is not done at a later date a great deal of money will have to be spent. Murray made the startling statement that with very little expendi.ure, some addition to the curricula with probably the same number of teachers on the staff, and next year he High school a first class commission. “But,” he remartedj “to obtain

NELLIE BROWN AND FLOYD STRIEBY WERE MARRIED THURSDAY Announcement is being made of the marriage of Nellie J. Brown to Floyd Strieby., former Turkey Township Trustee., The marriage was performed in Goshen, Thursday, Feb. 11, by i Justice of the Peace Fribley. The ceremony was witnessed by Mr. and Mis. William Carr >1 of*Goshen and Mr. and Mrs. Nelson Ludwig of Milford. After the wedding the party went to the bride’s home, between New Paris and Milford, where a supper was served.

' : HIGH WATER OR NOT HIGH IS QUESTION There has been some discussion as to whether the water is higher than usual for this time of year, whether or not it reached high water mark for all time during the past week. The heavy rain last Wednesday ’and Thursday which melted all signs ; of ice on the mud puddles, mill races and lakes at least made enough water back up across the road on the South side of the lake near the garages of the South Shore Inn that the state posted signs “High Water” as warni ing to travelers on road 13. According to Mrs. George Mellinger, who lives near there, there is al- ; ways water in the low ground on ! both sides of the paved road at the ' time of spring thaws. But she said ; she had never seen it as high as it was last week. s The water reached across the paved road and extended up the Vawter Park road which leads off from the ; pavement, to a point beyond the ex- > tent of the South Shore Inn garages. ! Motorists and school hack drivers had to pass through the water slow(ly as there was ho indication as to the edge of the road, nor did they know exactly how high the water would splash if they hit it when . traveling at too great a speed. L Louis Solt says the water along the sea wallsf on the southside of the lake is two or three inches higher than in his 20 years experience. But C. E. Bishop on the north side {of the Jake says the water is at high water mark now but that he has seen it from six inches to a foot higher, ' that one year in December it was I over the tops of the seawalls along his place. He says the water is now ! from 12 inches to 18 inches from the top,. Mrs. Maggie McClellan at Butt’s ' Landing, speaking of the water in Syracuse lake, says that she thinks jit unusually high for February. that the highest water usually comes about Easter time. But she has a mark which she has watched from, year to year, keeping account of the depth of the water, and she says it I is about a foot higher than normal ' for February. I Anyway, the lakes haven’t gone dry. Even if the ice boats are up, high and dry. — o— ATTENDING UNIVERSITY Nathaniel C.

this commission, Syracuse would have ;to continue with nine months of * school.” I Views df people are gradually . changing, he went on to say, for a ' short time ago people were demanding drastic cuts in teachers’ salaries and in the expenses of running the schools. Recently however, there has been a sudden reversal in sentiment,, according to him for, more people are saying reduce every other expenditure first and then if absolutely necessary are willing to reduce the expenditure of the school last. j The feeling of most people could be summed up in the words of Seciretary of State Mayr who said: “Let ’us not penalize the future of the coming generation by impairing the efficiency of schools by making drastic reductions in the amount allowed for education.” Murray also said the state school system realized the necessity for economy and the schools are co-oper-ating by operating as economically las possible. Some schools can be operated more cheaply but a num- ‘ ber of schools, and he said he believed Syracuse belonged to this class, already had voluntarily cut out all ■ (Continued on Last Page)

EQUAL TAX CUT IS STATE MAN’S WISH • WARSAW, Ind.-—ln an address before the township assessors, their deputies an,d menibers of the Kosciusko County Farm Bureau held in the court house Tuesday, H. D. Hartman, of Indianapolis, a field man for the state tax board, warned against radical reduction in assessments. At a recent meeting of members of the farm, bureau, with the township assessors held in Warsaw, the members favored a 40 per cent reduction on real estate. County Assessor Bert E. Dausman had favored a 30 per cent reduction. In the course of his remarks Mr. Hartman said in part: “Emphasis should be placed on the equalizing of assessments and not on a flat rate decrease. You cannot take orle class of property and reduce it and not make a reduction on others. I cannot think that there should be more than a 10 per cent reduction. In neighboring counties a reduction of from eight to 13 per cent has been fixed. We are all in a row of stumps, during the business depression, but the government has got to be sustaired. Some of ius pay more gas tax than othei taxes. 'Do not give Up in despair. Our forefathers drove ox teams and lived in rude cabins with dirt floort. ‘'‘Values must be maintained at a reasonable high rate. If values are cut in half the tax rate will be twice as high. What you spend is what you are concerned with. An unusually low assessment hurts credit and business. Low values have a depressing effect. When you ask for a loan the first thing asked is the assessed valuation of your land. Cut your government expenses,” Mr. Hartman said. He also claimed that schools and roads were the cause of increased taxes. The filing of petitions for epunty unit roads and bridges is mandatory on the board of county commissioners if there are sufficient names to a petition. Mr. Hartman recommended to lessen taxes for new orads. j, —— -j. —. —-—/ SYRACUSE WIFE FILES : 71 ACTION FOR DIVORCE WARSAW, (Special) — Charging cruel and inhuman -treatment; Mary E.

NAU LODGES IN GARY ROBISON’S RIGHT EYEBALL Although there is a possibility he may lose the sight of his right eye, Gary Robison is trying tb be cheerful about it, as he sits in the darkened room of the farm home of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. E. W; Robison, near; Syracuse. Gary, graduate of Syracuse High school last year, four years a star member of the Syracuse basketball team, injured his eye while at work at Tippecanoe Lake, Friday afternoon. “1 was working for Mr. Lytle, doing repairs on the North Shore hotel,” Gary saidfl “I was driving a nail with my hammer when somehow the nail flew up and struck my eye-1 ball. It went in so hard I had to puli ' to get it out," Nevertheless Gary drove his car | home, and his parents rushed him toj the doctor. The eyeball had such a cut in it that Gary was sent to an eye specialist who is now treating his eye. “They thought at first the sight was gone for sure. Now they tell me there’s a little hope,’’ is the way Gary sums it up simply. His other eye. in sympathy with the injured.. one is paining him so that he can scarcely see out of it, and must remain in a dark room, not it unless absolutely necessary. “Seems funny,” Gary said when visited Monday. “I helped build this new barn out here for Dad this sum:mer and never got (hurt. You’d think I had learned to drive a nail.” Having always o been active Gary finds it trying to have to sit quietly in a dark room with his hands folded. He says he doesn't know how to knit or do anything like that.

about the the new model, which.happens to! be his new and first grandson. The\model’s name happens to be Fred Warren Ford, son of Mr. and Mrs. Lyle Ford. He arrived Sunday, Jan. 10, and weighed eight pounds. The name, Fred Warren incidentally, comes from two grandfathers, two uncles and a great grandfather. Despite that handicap the new Ford is doing finely. It certainly pays to read a story in its entirety. Last week after the Independent came out, two men in Hillsdale noticed the first paragraph about the arrival of the new 1932 Ford. Without reading further the men jumped into their car and came to Jonesville, tried to find Jim Lauder, the Ford dealer here, and see the new model. Imagine their chagrin when they were informed that the model was Fred Warren, the new baby son of Mr. and Mrs. Lyle Ford.

FARM GROUP WANTS CUTIN TAXES Township Bureau Has Meeting Tuesday At School ’ Declaring that “the farmers have got their backs to the wall,” and that “they don’t want to pay' the other fellow’s taxes,” J. A. Mellott, county chairman of the Kosciusko County Farm Bureau expressed the sentiment of the farmers in their fight for a Ipwer assessed valuation, cn their farms, at the meeting of the Turkey ‘ Creek Farm Bureau Tuesday evening jn the Syracuse High school building. He explained, that the farm bureau realizes the expenditures listed on the budget must be paid and that the interest on bonds now outstanding must be met, but the assessed valuation of farms is too high and the farmers do not want to pay the other fellow’s taxes. Should Be Based on Sales. Explaining that the valuation of farms should be based on the voluntary sales of farms in the past few years according to law, he told the assembled farmers that farms were not selling for their appraised val- j' uations but w*ay below. To prove his point he cited an instance of a farm of 30 acres unimproved selling for 8300. z 1 Mellott asked Ttftdthe co-operation < f farmers in llie fWm bureau fight ‘ for we must tight’Mir*sai nst this unjust taxation. \ Sherman Deaton, presiaent of the Turkey Creek Township Farm Bureau explained how the farm bureau ■ had taken up the tax fight, how irt joint meeting with the county assessor Bert Daysman, the assessor, had/ proposed a schedule of .reductions on farms, the average of which for the county would amount to 28 per cent and for Turkey Creek Tow’nship, 40 per cent. Deaton also told of the meeting on Tuesday in Wai saw which H. D. ; Hartman of 'the state tax board addressed. This meeting was of the asI sessors and members of the farm bu:reau. From the tenor of the remarks of I Mr. Deaton and Mr. Mellott at the i ineeting in Syracuse it was evident, '.hat Hartman’s remarks had / not ! pleased the farm bureau members. Deaton said that one of the arguments advanced by Hartman was that if the valuation of farms is reduced other properties’ valuation rhu£t be reduced. -Deaton said commenting on this that Hartman said lake lots are I selling for twice their valuation and (that city properties are selling for ! more than their assessed valuation, “That is something to think abput,” j said Deaton, “when the farm bureau i wants your aid in this fight.” ' Deaton urged the fjarmers to take up the fight for lower farm tion and bitterly assailed the injustice of the laws e that guarantee the railroads and public utilities interest on their investments. “My power bill has not come down in three years. That is something to think about,” he said. ' < List of Assessments. A list prepared by Dausman giving, the assessed valuation per acre! of farm lands without improvements, of 1 all the townships of Kosciusko county was read by Mr, Deaton According to this list Turkey Creek: Township’s faring assessed valuation per acre was $57.74, the highest of i any township.
