WILL NOT BRING
SUIT FOR TAXES

Over a week after THE LAKE COUNTY
TIMES printed it's exclusive story of
tax lodging by the Standard Oil COM
pany, the Chicago morning papers to-
day print an account in which it is
stated that County Assessor Black, and
B. E. Fischer, the assessor of North
township, would start proceedings
against the Standard to recover the I'M
paid taxes.
Mr. Fischer was asked about the mat
ter this morning and denied that he
was intending to take any action to re-
cover back taxes from the Standard
Oil company. Mr.. Fischer said that it
was not his duty to take action of this
kind He said he did not know there
was any such movement on foot and
if there was it would have to be at
the instigation of the board of review
or the auditor of state.
Mr.. Black and Mr.. fischer both say
they will raise the Standards assess
ment to what they believe it ought to
be and then their duty will be done.
All this bombast about the recovery
of back taxes originated in the mind
of some imaginative person and I do
not think there is anything to it," said
Mr.. Escher

ASKS STATEMENT
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION.
Especial to Lake County Times.)


Indianapolis. April 16.-"You will
please send us the statement of your
financial condition.
Secretary of State Fred A. Sims, who
serves as the president of the state
board of tax commissioners, asks this
same question at the conclusion of any
hearing or appeal before the board.
1t indicates that the tax board has
taken another method of getting at the
true valuation of the corporate prop
erty in the state.
1t soon becomes very evident from
the hearing of the tax board on the
express companies, pipe line companies
etc, that started yesterday, that the
main object of the representatives of
most of these corporations is to Sc
crete, rather than to reveal informa-
ton.
Their returns are juggled, statements
are modified, and in every way made
so as to show as badly as possible
that the assessment may be made low
The returns, according to the president
of the board, do not give the real sit
uation.
Now the annual statement, made at
the directors meeting that closes up
the year, is supposed to be the sheet
that gives the real Information. And
that is what the tax board is after.
Some startling assessments will be
made at this meeting.
