lay in the journey of the Eastern officials
who started from this city Thursday MORN
ing in a special car to make a trip over
the interurban lines of Ohio and visit the
principal cities AZ the car was entering
Dayton on sharp curve IL struck the side
of a bridge, and as il is much larger than
any of the Ohio cars, caused a delay of
half hour
The trip would have been the longest ever
taken on an electric line, and the party

While Marion countys assessment is in
creased a little more than s2S.0O,Oo0 over
last year, the assessment of not one of the
adjoining counties is increased much more
than $2.50G,O00. and in most of them the in
crease ranges between 100000 and 5000
900. The auditor OF Marion county has
not yet made returns 20 the State Tax
Board of the assessment of Indianapolis.
and this part Of the figures on Marion
county is estimated. 1t Is thought, however,
that the actual assessment will not be far
away from the estimate now in the hands
of the State Tax Commissioners.
SAY 1T IS UNJUST.
'It will be n great injustice on Marion
county if the State Tax Board puts large
increase on the real-estate assessment of
our county" said Albert Metzger. I'VE are
already paying more than our share of
taxes and we are assessed disproportion-
ately high in comparison with the counties
adjoining us. If the State Tax Commits
sioners put n horizontal increase on the
county, as is reported, j am sure there will
be organized effort to have the board
change its action. The increase over last
year reported to the State Board by the
county auditor is very large. There is no
ground for Marion county real estate being
assessed so much higher proportionately
than the assessments of the adjoining coun-
There is a good deal of property in Ma
rion county now-and good property. too
that cannot be sold at the appraiSement
figure, said John J. Appel "and if the
State Tax Board puts another large in
crease on this county this year it will be a
positive injustice. i had not heard the re-
port that such is the contemplated action of
the State Tax Commissioners. I. for one.
shall be in for an organized opposition to a
horizontal increase. Real-estate business is
dull enough now and there Is small enough
profit in ii at the present figure of taxation.
The percentage OF profit on real-estate In
vestments is very small but IL the assess
ment is increased by many million dollars
there is any just ground on which such an
increase can be made"
'I am certainly opposed to an increase i'm
Marion county's real-estate assessment -
said NJ. II. Spades. And L will help to or
ganize a movement to oppose an increase
before the State Tax Board. This county is
paying more than its share of taxes now
and if another increase is heaped upon us
the State Tax Commissioners will be doing
a great injustice to the county,
Governor Durbin and others of the State
Tax Board said yesterday afternoon that
there was not the slightest foundation In
the report that a horizontal raise on Mar
ion county's realty assessment had been
decided upon by the board.
I'VE have not taken UP the Marion
county assessment said the Governor.
1--WE have not received the complete re-
port of the county auditor as yet. Con-
sequently ii is absurd to suggest that any
decision has been made in regard to the
assessment and it is equally absurd for
anyone to become alarmed at what the
board may do.

chamberIain's Cough Remedy.

No one who is acquainted with its
good qualities can be surprised at the
great popularity of Chamberlain Cough
Remedy. 1t not only cures colds and
grip eflectually and permanently, but
prevents these diseases from resulting
in pneumonia. # is also a certain cure
for Group. Whooping cough is not
dangerous when this remedy is given.
1t contains no opium or other harmful
substance and may be given as con-
idently to a baby as to an adult 1t is
also pleasant to take. When all Of these
facts are taken into consideration it is
not surprising that people in foreign
lands, as well as at home, esteem this
remedy very highly and very few are
willing to take any other after having
once used it, For sale 10y Wilson Drug
