"f Syracuse than for the corresponding ’ installment lalt year, according to bank officials. Also, less money was borrowed to pay taxes than last year, they say. ■' * ,T’.e people of Indiana are in better financial condition than the r people of Mississippi where ■m.iHiui/f'arnilies had their h<,'fries sold f : taxe>, and where one fourth of the total area of the state has . e under the'sheiitf’s hummer for the same reason. Sjimetime. Friday night some one knocked off the plank that w.as fastened to the top > f the spillway • the dam, thereby letting more water go over the darn. This same one evidently thought that the water was Hi'" high and felt that he had a grievance against the town board because the water wasn’t going out fast enough. The town . board has been in a dilemma ever since the spring rains, for if the w ait w - i ".ted t» escape, lake residents called thei . -and w: friends, sayji ... the town L ard wanted '. :• !k e .» mud puddle out "f the lake. ' If the town board closed, the ■ and the lake level ruse, teleph. started to ring and pe ;>>■ • ... hl the members of the-board with fire . in their eyes, saying their lots were being flooded, their gardens could not be dilg'and their cellars were filling with watet Lite fo'r member- of the. tow t; board for the pest few we particularly pleasant. , Election board officials of Turkey Creek township are saymg that they will never serve on an election board again, because they received a rather unpleasant surprise when they received their cheeks front the < aunty in payment for services lit the recent primary. - J They claim they t >bk' the job un.-l derstanding thev w.< aid receive ;.i least tw«- days, pay bn account of'.thelength of hours served; with the in] speft r leceivn.i three day- : sy oil account of longer hours nece&siiry t® take the ballots t Warsaw when counted here. i’ Figuring this way, the inspector was thought to be earning $9 .for' his services, judges and clerks each >6.

MUST CUT EXPENSES OR TAXES WILL BE MORE THIS NEXT YEAR

Indianapolis-—lndiana taxing units must reduce their expenditures in 1933 a total of. at least 529,000,000, or the people are going to be paying a higher tax rate than they are this year, a study of figures now coming in to the S*ate Board of Tax Commissioners’ office from the 92 counties shows, according to a statement issued here by Joe R. Beckett, executive secretary of the Indiana Association for Tax Justice. “Reports to the State Board of Tax Commissioners show that assessed valuation of taxabies throughout Indiana will be reduced a total of 10 per cent, or from 55,073.241,140 to approximately $4,500,000,000,” said Mr. Rreckett. “The reports,, also show that poor relief expenditures are running 100 per cent higher than ■ last . year, which will raise the total from .55,IXIO,OOO for this year to 510,000,000 for 1933. “It-already has been established that delinquencies carried into 1933 will be approximately 820,000,000, as compared with $11,000,000 carried into 1932/ an increase of 59,000,000. “The total direct tax collections for this year in Indiana, as budgeted, are 5150.386.000. The same tax rate next year would produce 10 per cent less upon the new, lower assessed valuation, or approximately 815,000,- 1 * -. Summing ujS" we have the following: ‘ "Loss on account of assessed valuation drop _ _515,000,000 HAPPY GO LUCKY CLUB ENJOYS ANOTHER PARTY A number, of young people who enjoyed a few bob-sled and skating -parties last winter gathered at the home of Dean Grady Friday evening May 13. Games, music and dancing were, enjoyed and afterwards refreshments were served. They planned to meej every three weeks during the summer at the home of one of the members. The next will be held at the home of Junior Jones. Those present Friday evening were: Mr. and Mrs. John Sudlow, Mr and. Mrs. Warren Fisher, Mr. and Mrs. Harold Hoeflinger, Mr. and Mrs. Glen (Grady, Mamie Wogoinan, Rowena inline, Margaret Wolf, Mabel Mick, Pauline Shock Irene Shock, Duane Kline, Junior Jones, Gary Robinson, Eugene Henwood, George Henwood and Dean Grady. J-— —o- —————■ Mrs. Cleder of Marion visited her summer home the first of this week.

“Increase in poor relief expenditures 5,000,000 “Increase in delinquencies 9,000,000 Total .529,000,000 “It is startingly apparent that if the citizens are to have a lower tax rate in 1933, public expenditures .must be cut more Than 529,000,000. Otherwise those who still are able to pay taxes will be paying an even higher rate this year. “This calls for a reduction of approximately 19 per cent. Many taxing units in the state to reduce more than this beeause->their delinquency and poor relief situation are worse -than the average. “This situation pught to be enough to awaken every thinking citizen of Indiana to the immediate taxation crisis. It is a problem which citizens themselves; must so.lve by concerted pressure upon the public spending authorities between now and September, when the 1933 budgets are niade. “It is not a hopeless task. Some communities already have taken steps in the direction of meeting’ the situation. The reductions the / people need are much greater than $29,000,000. On the basis of ability to pay, in the light of their reduced income, the reduction would have to be $42,000,000, as this association established recently. This is not' unreasonable w'hen it is recalled that general business in Indiana is somewhere around 40 per cent below normal.”

HORSES PROVIDE LOW COST POWER FORJTHE FARMER LAFAYETTE, Ind.—On the basis of its influence on farm profits, farmers should realize more and more that the economic use of horse pow’er is of major importance, according to Prof. R. B. Cooley, of the Purdue University animal husbandry department. Profits in farming are determined by expense involved in production as much as by gross returns, and Cooley points out that from the standpoint of reducing expense horse labor costs constitute the item of greatest importance. In setting up a program of economy that will be met by the use of horses, Prof. Cooley lists the following points that must be observed: 1— Low first cost through raising your own horse replacements. 2— Do your work wijth horses that are appreciating in value rather than depreciating. 3— -Keep teams busy the maximum number of hours. 4— Economical feeding and proper management. 5— Efficient use of horses by using them in big team units.

Cooley points out that not a single state east of the Mississippi is raising enough horses to supply its own farm needs, and that twenty-five cent corn and twenty cent fed to horses produces just as much power for field work as dollar corn and sixty cent oats. He also calls attention to the fact that farmers who raise their own colts, break them at 2% years, work them regularly from three years of age on, and then sell them at 6 or 7 years of age, take no depreciation. Feed ordinarily makes up about seventy per cent of the total horse cost, and Cooley declares that economies in this item inay be est fected by reducing feed when horses are not working; by turning work horses to pasture when not at work in summer; by frequent watering in hot weather, and by the use of oorn field and straw stacks in winter with sufficient baPn feeding to maintain fair condition and good heart. - — o As between having this country run by the students of Columbia University or by Herbert Hoover, I we are still slightly inclined in favor lof Hoover.—Charleston News and 1 Courier.
