I ! — ‘, I '■ j. ; .. ' ’ ! MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP LEGISLATION | WILL INCREASE TAX BURDEN OF FARMERS AND OTHER TAXPAYERS ; ■ •! .1- • ! : ’. ' < . .

IS ILLS have) been .introduced in the special session oi the Indiana legislature tor the promotion of - municipal o.whership of public utilities which are revolutionary in character. Il 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 plaints pay no taxes. The privately owned public utilitie- of Indiana pay approximately 525,000.000 annuallv for the support of the state, county, town-hip and city governments and the public school -X'temx'’ v. * pni- company and a-sociated companies under the same general, rpanagement, are paying this year a total oi $ 1,465,730 in state and local taxes in Indiana, on thei/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. T hat means that the amount of taxes it has been paying must be made up by the other taxpayers of the state. Farmers and other taxpayers will be forced to pay more taxes every time taxpaying properties arc taken off the tax duplicate. Xot only w jll the taxes of citizens in the town adopting municipal owner-hip be raised, but farmers and other- living out.-ide the city will be obliged to pay additional county and state taxes to make up the loss oi tax revenue due to the taking of property off the , tax rolls. Taxes fpr 1931. payable this year on electric propertie- only, owned by this group of companies in certain Indiana cities follow: Attica . . . $10,020,8.1 Lafayette . . $22,439Jh Bedford . . . 22.664.64 Michigan City . Bloomington . 18,264.79 Monticello . . Columbus . . 8.208.67 New Castle. . 13,892.74 E.i-t Chicago . 96.585.59 Plymouth . . 17,26-1.86 I ort Wayne . 448.360.26 Shelbyville . . 10,423.90 (iarv . . . 163,031.38 Terre Haute ? . 107.048.48 Hammond . . 672.984.40 \ incennes .| * 51.937.68 Huntington . 20.600.13 Wabash . . 13,333133 Kokomo . . 51,811.18 Whiting. .J. 9,593.01 1.. . ' The total tax paid on elfctric properties in the above cities amounts to M,635y657.43 of which SI .292.063.82 goes for the support of city and township governments and public County taxes totaled §219,527.45 and state taxesif? 42,752.99. If those municipalities acquired.these electric’properties, taxes now paid by the companies would have to be made up by added tax burdens on other taxpayers in the cities, counties and theistate. As a further example, consider typical Indiana ' communities which now have municipal utility plants from which no taxes are collected. .If these properties

The utilities owned by the above cipalities, if privately owned and taxed would mean\ lightening the' tax burden not only of taxpayers in those towns, but also in the county and state. I • House Bills 682 and 6-19 and Senate Bill 417 would remove all municipally owned utility plants from regulation by the state and would give municipalities the power to Condemn privately owned public utilities and to establish their own utilities by the issuance of revenue bonds,! I r ■ • 1 If these bills are enacted, city councils or town boards could obligate cities and towns to spend large sums of money for machinery and other equipmentsithout restriction or regulation and without submitting the proposal to a referendum of the voters. There wDuld be no control by the state of rates, quality of service, accounting, or service extensions. Discriminatory rates or even free service for friends of the public officials in control would become a possibility. Privately owned public utility companies in Indiana have extended electric service to farms and rural communities. Passage of these bills and extension of municipal ownership will curtail rural electrification and retard development of service to those who live outside the boundary line** of cities and towns. Not only will the tax burden of the farmer be increased, but opportunity for electrification of his farm will be deferred. These bills are of vital concern to every taxpayer in the state of Indiana. They break down the safeguards which now’ exist to prevent public officials from unwise and wasteful spending of public funds. They take away that right of equal treatment which z is the privilege of every citizen. If you are opposed to legislation, write or wire your state senator or representative at Indianapolis and voice your protest against House Bills 682 and 649 and Senate Bill 417.
