INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Sept. The
state tax commissioners Tuesday after
noon gave w. P. Ijams, owner of the
famous trotter Axtell, an opportunity
to show why the assessment should not
be raised from $500 to 100000. Mr..
Ijams claimed that il a forced sale of
Axteil was made at Terre Haute he
would not bring 5000 and that the
financial success of the trctter and
breeder was owing to good manage
ment and not to the superior qualities
of the horse. The tax commissioners
