Proposed Repeal of County
Local Option Law to Be
Considered at Democratic
Meeting.
ACTION is ASSURED
AFTER THIS CAUCUS
Meeting Delayed Because 1t
Was Feared People Might
Think 1t Necessary to Elect
Kern.

Indianapolis, Jan. 1S.-John Worth
Kern.
Long may he wave"
And now lets rush on to business.
After the various speakers of Tues
day had succeeded in getting it out
of their system and Representative
Coble had persisted in claiming he had
his fingers crossed when the ''myster-
ious eight" were subsidized two years
ago, both houses adjourned until ten
Wednesday morning.
They were a little SLOW in getting
down to work even then, as the sur
prise of John Kern's election went
ming with Thursday, things will hum,
say the majority leaders. Both the
house and senate will caucus Wednes-
day. Senator Proctor is caucus chair
man of the senate Democrats and he
has announced caucus for the pEr-
pose of the considering the liquor bill.
Everyone is growing restless and it is
the intention of the friends of county
option repeal to force it through at
once. Proctor says he has enough
votes upon his own side in the senate
to do this, and that it will be done
within the next week.
How Fleming Stands.
1t is said that Senator Fleming who
introduced the restrictive measure
and who has been polled in favor of
the county option repeal, distinctive
platform measure. being given the
right of way and put through as speed
i lily as possible.
Senator Proctor denies the state
ment that he has been instrumental
in holding up the repeal bill in either
house and especially that any attitude
of his has been responsible for the
house committee delaying action on the
bill. Senate caucus chairman Proctor
has had the power to call caucus at
any time in the senate. but it was
not deemed advisable to call a caucus
in either house prior to the election
of Kern, for fear it would be miscon-
strued into a meeting for the purpose
of whipping somebody in line for Kern
which the Democrats have all along
said was not necessary. Now that
Kern's election is out of the way and
nothing remains before the legisla
ture but work. Democrats are making
great promises of getting together and
doing things with a vim. 1t is said
the caucus Wednesday night will be
the first of many the majority will
call in order to thresh out problems
and thereby be enabled to present a
solid front to the enemy. II is said
by others that it will be necessary to
hold thse caucuses frequently if the
Democratic majority gets any of its
/ platform measures passed, SO divided
are they within their own ranks. Be
| that as it may, leaders are promising
lots of action and accomplishment af
/ ter tonight's caucus.

GIVEN A COMMAND
State Tax Board Orders Him
to Proceed to Collect
Delinquent Tax.

Delinquent taxes on personal proper-
ty. which are owing to the county will
be collected. County treasurer Albert
Albertson has received a command in
the form Of letter from the state
board OF tax commissioners which al
lows no other Interpretation for they
advise the treasurer, as they have
every other treasurer in the state that
he is held chargeable with the de-
linquencies. On the 1909 assessment,
which was payable in 1910 there were
approximately $4,000 on the treasur-
er's books for delinquent taxes. The
lletter referred To follows: s---
Section S53s Burns r. S. 1901. defin-
ing the duties of the State board Of
Tax Commissioners, provides among
other things, the following: Fifth,
to see that all taxes due the state are
collected" Sixth, to enforce penal
ties prescribed by any revenue law of
the state for disobcdience of it's pro.
Visions
I'VE call your attention to this law
and VIC shall insist on you performing
your duty as the law prcscribes. The
delinquent tax which remains uncol-
lected for the year 1909 is $l.462 1877
-. The tota, state debt for all claims
is $1,510, 1872. or Si7.565.67 more
than the delinquent tax for the year
1909.
This state of affairs is alarming,
particularly so to the honest taxpayer.
We insist on your collecting this tax.
The County Auditor under Section
6526 Burns X. s. 1901. is prohibited
from giving you credit with any un-
collected and delinquent taxes unless
such treasurer shall show by proper
returns verified by his oath. that he
has fully complied with Section 81.

ers from allowing your salary on any
linstallment, or any part thereof, until
they are fully satisfied that all laws
requiring the treasurer to collect de.
linquent taxes have been fully and
strictly complied with. The legisla'
ture of 1909 provided an additional fee
of seventy-five cents for the county
treasurer: this with 6Po added is the
amount they are entitled to.
Information has come to this Board
that men who hold public office owe
delinquent tax and they draw their
pay from the public treasury and boast
about it. This is the fault of the coun-
ty treasurer and this Board is going
to insist on the county auditor. the
county commissioners and the county
treasurer performing their respective
duties as the law provides, and the
records Of the various offices will be
Investigated to see that the law is en-.
forced.
I'VE trust that IT will not be neces-
sary to call your attention again to
this matter, but wel will insist that
every officer whose duty it is. whether
county auditor. county treasurer or
county commissioner. that this part of
the law will be strictly complied with
and put into force" !
