FEW CHANGES IN TAXES
MADE BY STATE BOARD
Farm Lands in Few Cases Placed
Back at Valuations Made
in 1911.
Special to The News-Times.


INDIANAPOLIS. Aug. lot is
doubtful if there has ever been a time
in the history of the state when
state tax board which met here last
week. made so few changes in the
figures sent in by the county boards
of review.
In 81 of the % counties of the state
there was not one penny of increase
made in the values placed upon farm
lands. In all these So counties the
figures stand just as returned by the
county boards and it is upon the valu-
ations made 10y these local agents of
review that taxes Will be collected in
each of these counties.
The only counties in which changes
were made by the state board were
Martin, Davies. Orange NermiliOn and
Jefferson. In these counties the local
boards had made the appraisals on
farms less per acre than in 1911. when
the last previous assessment had been
returned. The members of the state
board did not believe any farm lands
i'm Indiana We're worth less i'm 1915
than they were in 1911. especially
since most OF the county boards had
made slight increases. So the state
board iE dealing with the five counties
mentioned. simply restored the figures
of 1911. which amounted TO an in
crease OF about 1--WE per cent in the as
sessments made 10y the five county
boards.

BELIEVES CIVILIZATION
ON MARS Is SUPERIOR
WinOna Professor Tells Of Planet and
of Men Who May be Eight or
Nine Feet Tall.

WINONA LAKE. Ind. Aug. IL
The Fourth and last lecture OF the
Winona college faculty series was
given at the assembly auditorium by
Dr. w r Lugenbeel, head OF the de-
partment of mathematics. His subject
was The Men OF Mars, an AstrOnOmi-
cal Excursion"
MARS has a diameter Of 1920 miles.
and therefore IT is about one-eighth as
large as the EARTH" he said Its day
is "A IL hours long. and its year 6s7
days. 1t has air, water, light, heat all
in sufficient quantities TO support life
such as the earth has. The area of the
habitable portion is about one-half as
large as that OF the earth. It's surface
Is smooth because the original heat
was not sufficient 10 melt iron, and
hence volcanoes were not formed. Mars
has all the conditions for both vege-
table and animal life. II has changes of
seasons. each season being twice as
long as those Of the earth"
The speaker said there is evidence
Of intelligent life on Mars, by the
canals and GASES. The oceans have dis
appeared and the land gets it's water
from the melting ice caps ever year.
The water is distributed over the
deserts by means of these canals. They
a..
and they are wonderful feats of
engineering. One OF them is $500
miles long. The dark lines called
canals are not really waterways, but
vegetation produced by the water.
These strips vary from u to 80 miles
in width. The GASES are no doubt cen
ters Of civilization.
'As TO what the intelligent beings
on Mars are like, we can only specu-
late. As the planets gravity is only one
half that of the earth, they could have
status of about eight or nine feet,
and as the race is millions of years
older than man, their intelligence and
knowledge can be so far in advance of
mans we can not even dream Of them.
The canal system would indicate one
nation. No doubt the flying machine is
perfect, and that the heat Of the sun
is employed for ali purposes. They
have solved all social and moral prob
lens. They have conquered disease;
they can communicate directly with
the powers Of the mind. They have
solved all the mysteries Of science, and
no doubt sin has disappeared"
DR.. Lugenbeel has been connected
with the Winona college for eight
years. He is regarded as one of the
best informed men on mathematical
and astronomical subjects in the cen
trail west.
