COMMITTEE ON TAX
SETS SPECIFIC TASK
Commercial Club Workers
Prepare Plans for Reform
to Present to Body for APP
prevail.

The taxation committee Of the Com
mercial club. probably with one ex-
ception the most active taxation in
vestigating committee in the state.
will be called together early next
week to study taxation laws for rec
ommendation to the Commercial club
and ultimate consideration BY the
state legislature to accomplish the fol-
lowing things:
Make Indiana's taxation methods at
a par with those Of other state which
are far ahead Of this state.
Make taxation more general, thus
tending to lower rates automatically
Make taxation equitable. 1t is said
that Indiana's laws are unjust and the
system of assessments not equitable.
A more equitable basis suggested is
the taxation Of certain classes of prop
erty according to the profit producing
value and the classification Of prop
erty in general with rates according to
more usefulness as we'll as the net
value.
The elimination from county treas
urers' books Of q big per cent of delin-
quencies. It is said that in Wayne
township alone, there are twenty-five
per cent delinquent voters who do not
even pay their poll tax.
To Educate People.
The education OF the people as to
why taxes are paid; why rates are
fixed higher or lower; and all matters
pertaining to taxation. Fred II. Lem
on. chairman of the taxation commit
tee. believes. as a result Of the inves-
legations made by the committee that
. majority Of the people pay taxes be-
cause they are compelled to without
moving the first principles of the sys-
team and methods.
Mr.. Lemon stated that his commit
tee is delving into a complicated prob
lem on which the members have been
educating themselves especially for
tho research work they are doing and
the recommendations they will make.
Within the next two months, an open
meeting of the Commercial club will
be held to find out how much Rich
mond's citizenship knows about taxa
ton and to ascertain If any citizens
have ideas on it.
PowerIess to Act
Beyond making recommendations
to the club, my committee has no
power to accomplish anything" Mr..
Lemon said I'VE do not want tax
payers to expect us to accomplish leg
islation because that is beyond our
power. Any recommendations we
make must first be considered by the
Commercial club and must then be
sent to the legislature For considera-
ton there
In order to bring about many fea-
lures of improved taxation, it will be
necessary to bring about new clause
In the state constitution. Under the
present laws. only one rate can be
made on all classes of property. Tn
der 1ndiana's present constitution. lit
tie can be accomplished towards mod
ern taxation.
Publicity will be given to all recon.
mendations the committee may make
to the Commercial club as the mem
bers believe the question of vital i'm
pOrtance to community should be
understood by its citizens.

remove it.

The development of the mineral
wealth Of our country is multiplying
the open doors of service for the
church. Coal mines, lead mines, iron
and copper mines are dotting our
hills and mountains and the men who
go into the bowels of the earth to
bring forth its riches are mostly for
eign-born people. They live with their
families in shacks, too crowded to
furnish comfort. The only way they
can come to know our best standards
is through the personal touch e.
Christian men and women who an
visit in the homes, nurse them when
they are i'll, and teach them. These
activities open large opportunities for

LIEGE
He said: Thou petty people, let me
pass.
What canst thou do but bow to me
and kneel?"
But sudden a dry land caught fire like
grass,
And answer hurtled but from shell
and steel.
He looked for silence, but a thunder
Upon him, from Liege leaden hail.
All Belgium flew up at his throat in
Till at her gates amazed his legions
quail.
Take heed, for now on haunted ground
they tread;
There bowed a mightier war lord TO
his hall:
Fear! Lest that very green grass
again grow red
With blood of German now as then
with Gaul.
If him whom God destroys He mad
den7 first,
Then thy destruction Stake thy mad
mans thirst.

yet the newest color for hats is a
dark brown.
Some fur is used, and occasionally
one sees a flower; but to be really
chic" the flower must in no wise sug-
gest a natural flower. 1t must be
fashioned in beads, in jet, in mother
of-pearl, or in cloth.
Wide brims came in style late in
June and representative modistes as
sure us that they will be worn all win
ter. Nevertheless, they show an equal
number of tiny turbans.
One Of the new trimmings is gold
gauze. 1t is used by Suzanne Talbot,
Reboux and Alphonsine, and is al
ways lined with velvet.
The new broad hat is posed almost
level on the head. If the left side of
the brim flares slightly upward it is
due to some subtle touch of the mod
iste.
The crown of the large hat is almost
invariably round, but the crowns of
toques and turbans are oval. All hars
still fit the head closely, so closely in
fact, that the hat once on, one has the
feeling that it would require a shoe
horn or some similar instrument to
remove it.
