Decision In an Indiana Tax Case In
yolving 03,OOO,OOO

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Jan. l6.--At-
torney-General Smith received dis
patch to-day saying that tax case was
decided to-day by Judge Richardson of

of the County Auditor and the State
Board of Tax Commissioners in adding
20 per cent. increase to the valuation
OF property. This amounts to about
$3,000,000. The suit was brought by
certain citizens to restrain the County
Auditor from putting the increase upon
the tax duplicate. Acknowledgement
Smith was called into the case and
made an argument in support of the
auditor, and is sustained by the court.
The decision will affect similar eases
pending throughout the State in rcIa
ton to the new tax law.

matter. The penitentiary and reform

have in the last decade increased in a
slightly larger ratio than the increase

the nomination believe he is too patri-

THERE is no country on earth that
excels the United States in exalting
the dignity OF labor The average
American laborer puts off the garb of
labor when his hours of toll are over.
He becomes an American citizen
in dress, department and in occupa-
tions of leisure and self-culture. All
of which means that the dignity of
American labor is not only essensial
to the well-being of the American
laborer himself but that it is reaching
out and influencing organized labor in
other countries.
