CR|T|C|SES METHODS
OF STATE TAXATION

Denouncing the present methods Of
taxation as stipulated in the Indiana
state constitution, as unjust, behind
the times and an instrument of grind
against the poor, Robert Lyons, the
Richmond high school student, who
will represent the school in the State
High School Oratorical contest, spoke
to the Earlham College students.
He pointed out that the state need
ed new constitution especially from
the point Of taxation. "The present
system gives the rich man an exemp-
ton on certain bonds, stocks, and
money in bank and credit while it tax
es to the utmost the poor man and his
personal property" said the speaker.
The solution of the taxation ques-
ton as emphasized by Mr.. Lyons, lies
in the appointing of assessors through
a system similar to civil service and
making them responsible to state
commission; second, uniform laws re-
garding the assessments Of money, ex-
empting money and bonds non-interest
bearing; third, exempting household
property up to stipulated sum and to
assess on commercial value of prop
erty.

ADOPT CONSTITUTION
OF STATE TAX BODY

AS the eight officers of the Indiana
State Tax Association framed the con-
stitution, it was passed yesterday at
meeting in indianapolis. Auditor
Bowman Of this city, the only county
auditor who is a member of the COM
mittee of officers, was unable to be
present at the meeting, but took part
in drafting the new association four
weeks ago.
With the constitution ready for
adoption by the general assembly OF
the members of the association, a
Campaign will be started to make over
Indiana taxing laws, which are said by
authorities to be archaic.
The committee on taxation from the
Commercial club, which has inaugu-
rated meeting every two weeks for the
study of taxation, will play its part in
furnishing good material for constitu-
tioanl amendments for a new consti-
tuition.
Mr.. Bowman is a member of both
committees and is vice president Of
the Commercial club committee and
vice president of the Indiana Tax asso-
citation.
81 hope that every Richmond organ
ization will avail ITSELF of the oppor-
tunity of representation in the tax
association" Mr.. Bowman said today.
"The Commercial club will be repre-
sented as a body by individuals who
will join the state association. We
are planning campaign for members.
The active membership fee IL 81 and
the contributing memberships are SO
or more as the members chose.
"As far as the local committee is
concerned, believe our work will be
educational in nature. OF course, we
will send out our recommendation to
the State Tax association, but these
will be gone over with a ream of sug-
gestions from other cities, and the best
will be kept. l hope we shall be able
to give some suggestions, which will
be retained as part of new tax law"

A new arrangement for making
loans under the federal reserve sys-

bankers. An order has been issued
from Washington that money may be
loaned on real estate, improved and
unencumbered by previous lien, pro-
viding that the loan does not exceed
fifty per cent of the actual value Of the
land The total of such loans by q
bank may not exceed one-third of its
time deposits. and In no case must
1t. exceed one-fourth Of the total CAPT
tai and surplus. This will prevent
much money being tied up under the
