NECESSARY TO CUT GOVERNMENT COST INDIANAPOILS, Ind. —Figures obtained by the Indiana Taxpayers Association from the December settlement sheets, now on file in the office of the Auditor of State, show an alarming increase in delinquent taxes in Indiana. “In the past," says Harry Miesse, secretary of the taxpayers association, “the payment of delinquent taxes virtually offset current delinquencies but that has not been true of the last year or two and it is not likely to happen within the near future. White such a condition exists, a tax levy- based upon budget items and the total taxables of any governmental unit, does not necessarily mean that the sums needed will be raised. When people are unable to pay their I taxes, anticipating revenue from such sources becomes nothing less than a form a official speculation. However, there is no guess work i about what actually has happened, as the records in the office of the Auditor of State will show. “In 4931 the total delinquent taxes in Indiana amounted to $13,421,889 and that sum was 9.2 per cent of all the taxes due for that year. At the ; end of 1932 the delinquent taxes had mounted to $25,007,>-446.51, or 17.8 per cent of all taxes then due. The increase in delinquencies for 1932, over 1931, was 86.3 per cent for the state at large. This percentage of i increase, comparing the two years I just ended, ranged all the way from 115.1 per cent, in Martin county ahd 47.8 per cent in Jennings county, to 204.5 per cent in Fayette county. I Other counties showing large increases in delinquencies, together with percentages of increase in 1932 'over 1931, were: Bartholomew 143.2; : Benton, 127.3; Boone, 112.9; Clinton, 119.9; Elkhart, 148.6; Huntington, 103.3; Kosciusko, 109.6; LaGrange, 119.2; Lake,. 151.8; LaPorte, 132.1; Miami, 164.8; Morgan 109.3; Newton,' 113.7; Porter, 107.9; Rush, 107.2; Shelby, 142; Whitley, 103.7. “Delinquent taxes due in the larger counties at the end of last year were as follows: Allen, $1,070,806.112, or 15.3 per cent of the total due; [Lake, $5,794,159.72, or 35.8 per [cent; Marion, $1,962,788.70, or 9.3 per cent; St.'Joseph, $1,540,964.91, lor 19.5 per cent. Kosciusko county had $144,330.10 in delinquent taxes l at the end of 1932. Counties with less than 10 per cent of their 1932 taxes delinquent included Adams, Barthol- ' omew, Boone, Carroll, Decatur, Franklin, Fulton, Hendricks, Jack[son, Marion, Marshall, Montgomery, Putnam, Randolph, Ripley, Rush, ; Tippecanoe and Union. Knox county at the other extreme, showed 50.5 per cent of all taxes due as having gone delinquent for last year. The percentage in Lake county was 35.8, and in Spencer county it was 43. Many counties showed a loss, in collections of 25 per cent or more, due to delinquencies. “We can see no hope for an immediate improvement in the situation. The recent session of the general assembly attempted to relieve the citizen who was unable to'pay his taxes and it provided in an act now in effect—due to an emergency clause — that any taxpayer who availed himself of the provisions of the new law might elect to assume a penalty of 4 per cent interest and then take twenty years to pay off his delinquency. This virtually applies the principle of the Barrett street improvement law to taxes generally and while it may prevent the sale of property upon which taxes have gone or will go delinquent, it complicates further the task of anticipating how much actual revenue a tax levy will produce.

The Eastern Star lodge enjoyed an I Easter party last night. There were 18 members present. Mr. and Mrs. George Colwell re- , turned home, last night, after spending the winter at Lake Weir, Fla.

CURRENT EVENTS (Continued from Page One) reported by the senate foreign relations committee delegated to consider the “censorship bill” recently passed by the House. April 9. Heywood Patterson was found guilty of rape for the second time. The jury deliberated 21 hours before returning to the courtroom to Judge James E. Horton of Decatur, Ala. Patterson and six other negroes were granted new trials after appeals from a previous death sentence was carried to the United States Supreme Court which court granted them new trials. London police stopped the proposed boycott of everything German by the Jews in London. Only three thousand idle joined the reforestation army at the end of the first week of enlistment instead of the expected 25,000.

Chinese troops pushed back Manchukuoan army which was seeking to occupy territory east of the great wall. - April 10. The German minister to Warsaw today lodged a strong protest with the Polish government against “anti-German excesses at Lodz. ” The protest followed riots in the Polish city when Jews stoned the German consulate. Secretary of the Treasury William H. Woodin brought pressure to bear on the New York clearing house composed of twenty of the biggest banks in New York and told them they must pay the $6,000,000 which they promised to make up when irregularities was discovered in the Harriman National Bank last. July. The State of Illinois warned the United States Supreme court that if it attempts to carry out the recommendations of its special master in the sanitary district diversion case the people of Illinois may see .fit to disregard the order. The order will cost Illinois $35,000,000 a year for eight years.

Bishop James Cannon Jr., lost his fight to carry his trial for violation of the federal corrupt practices act directly to the Supreme court of the United States. Cannon and his Secretary was indicted by a federal grand jury for violating the federal laws by failing to report certain contributions received in their 1928 antiSmith campaign in the south. The indictment was squashed. The government appealed to the District of Columbia Supreme court the decision of the District Apellate court. Cannon sought to carry his case directly to the U. S. Supreme court but this court sent it back to the District of Columbia Supreme court. The President’s ambitious scheme to make the Tennessee valley the scene-of an extensive industrial, economical and social experiment was offered to Congress. April 11. Federal legislation for a thirty hour working week in industry appeared certain as an administration spokesman—Secretary of Labor Perkins—indorsed the principle of the Senate bill. 5 The English House of Lords passed a bill granting the government full authority to declare an embargo on imports from Russia. George Bernard Shaw in address at the Metrolopitan opera house threw verbal cabbages at the audience telling them that the Constitution contributed to anarchy and that President Roosevelt was doing away with it. After a conference between President Roosevelt, Secretary of the Treasury Woodin and Senator Glass great confusion reigned. Congress
