A TAXATION LOOPHOLE
POSSIBILITIES OF a NOVEL ONE SUG-
GESTED BY AN APPEALED CASE.
Heavy Bank DepOsitOrs Could EX-
change Notes on April Estate
Tax Boards Session.

The State Tax Board held it's last
meeting for the hearing of appeals yes
terday, except the hearing to be given the
Richmond concerns next Tuesday. At yes
terday's session a peculiar question came
up in the discovery of a loop-hofe for es-
Gaping taxation like the old ~greenback
scheme. BY this it is not meant that the
appellant in this particular case deliber-
ately planned the circumstances in order
to escape taxation, for the coincidence may
have been purely accidental, but it shows
a way. John Glascock, of Greenfield, on
April l got a check for $500. He did not
present it for payment until April 2. He
claims the check was a creult of such ma
ture that Indebtedness could be deducted
from it. h local board, however, declined
to make the deduction and Glascock APP
pealed. If his appeal holds good it would
be possible for two men with large deposits
in bank to exchange checks for notes with
each other on April L and thus fool the
tax gatherer.
Jerome Black, of Greenfield, appealed
from the assessment of SIC, 900. made by
the local board upon his Hotel
property. The on.y question involved in
this appeal was the appraisement of the
property.
DR.. T. v. Clifford, proprietor of the Thrall
Memorial College and Sanitarium at Koko-
mo, came before the board, bringing a bask-
ct Of bright red apples, with which he re-
galea the members. The local board had
assessed his institution at $500 and the
doctor maintained that it was purely an
educational institution, and as such shouId
he EXEMPT from taxation. The local off,
GERS claimed that -.e understudents of the
institution were the employees.
The Fraternal Union OF wayne county,
represented by A. c. Lindemuth, appealed
from the assessment of the local board on
the ground that it is a charitable instltu-

SYNDICATE BEER RULES
HANDLERS OF OTHER BRANDS
FORCED TO HALF OBEY THE LAW.
Screws Applied by Taggart A~dminis-
tratfOn-RepubIfcan City COnven-
tiOn to BE Held in fterno

1t would be a good thing for Mayor Tag
CARTS peace of mind If he could remain in
the East upon one pretext or another all
summer and, in fact, until the campaign is
closed. The beer question is becoming in
sistent to the point of embarrassment; not
the beer question" raised by COLBY"
Haley and the rest of the ''b'yes'' who have
a habit of demanding a short key when
ever they regard the conditions as right
Tor a touch" though this is always in
sistent and more or less embarrassing in
campaign time, but the more important
question of the battle of the beers. the
question of whether the syndicate shah
run the city and dictate police appoint
ments and police regulations, or whether
the "anti-syndicate' combination shall have
things their own way. This combination is
composed Of the Home and American brew
cries and all outside agencies, including
such powerful factors as the Anheuser-
Busch and Terre Haute. Up to the time of
the campaign for the nomination Taggart
succeeded in keeping upon good terms with
all these. Syndicate saloons could do much
as they pleased then, as now. Terre Haute
was Modified by the fact that Fair Bank
was allowed to nightly violate the law by
selling beer in connection with music and
the Aforementioned people were not kick
ing much.
But when the nomination struggle came
the syndicate boldly sailed in for Taggart.
while the American and home went in as
boldly Tor Maus and the outside agencies
stood aloof. Since Taggart won so hand
somely, things have not gone so smoothly
with the outsiders. Fair Bank has been
compelled to close at II. though still per-
mltted to violate the law in other particu-
lars, and the man who handles Terre Haute,
american, Home Brew Anheuser-
busch or milwaukee, knows mighty well
lnat the "gobble-unS III git" him If he
oon watch out" So sharp has been the
LOOKOUT during the past two weeks that all
the a~nti-syndicate saloons nave had TO i'm
some measure obey the law, while those
as they please. The average saloon keeper
lnlllkS that he cannot obey the law and
make d livelihood, particularly if his COM
peLitors are permitted to violate it.
Inc snoe has been pinching so hard that
a rev days ago a meeting Of the interests
opposed TO the syndicate was held and it
was the unanimous opinion that they were
getting considerably the worst of it. They

demand that he either agree to hold CHER
colbert down or let him go. Taggart was
out of town and they were unable To ger
any satisfaction from members of the Boaro
OF SaIety- Ihey are waiting until Taggart
gets back, when it is their intention to Dre-
sent their demands. They helped to elect
him before and, though some Of them op-
posed ms denomination, they maintain thar
they should receive fair treatment on ac-
count of the contributions and influence the
Delnocratlc leaders expect from them in the
campaign.

MAKING A PRECINCT MAP.
The Republican City Committee Bus,
at Work.

The Republican city committee is rapidly
getting to work in its new quarters in the
Condit block on South Meridian street. 1t
mas prepared a map of the city, which will
come from the printer in a few days, show
ing the new precincts. Every change in the
precinct boundaries causes a vast amount
OF work and trouble for a political commit
tee. New sets of poll books must be made
up and, for purposes of comparison, those
OF former years become practically worth
less. The clerical force of the committee
has been busily engaged in making figures
upon which to base the call for the conven-
uon for a week and has not yet completed
the work.
The Democratic committee, in figuring out
the apportionment for their convention.
took none of this trouble. They simply
gave heavy representation to precincts thar
were assured for Taggart and gave what
was left TO those that were not so certain.
The Republican committee, however. is nor
working in the interest of any candidate
for nomination and is thus getting at the
exact vote of each precinct in order TO make
out a fair and accurate apportionment. The
new committee rooms are crowded daify
and Chairman Gerard is kept busy from
morning until night seeing the men who
are waiting for an opportunity to talk with
him.
