INCREASED TAKES

Recently the Banner called atten-
tion to the increased tax rate for this
year in Knox county, due to the tink-
ering with the Warnes law by the
Willis administration. Knox county
is not an isolated one in this particu-
lar. The same condition exists all
over the state. When tho taxpayers
pay their taxes for this year they
will find very material Increase ov-
: er last year. In reviewing the situa-
ton in the state, the Columbus Dis
patch says:
Complete reports being received
by the state tax commission from
county or district assessors under
the Warnes law indicate that the to-
tai valuation of taxable property
throughout the state will be much
greater than any previous year, and
In many cases the tax rate will be
increased. The reports show that the
tendency to increase the tax rate has
been general, and there are very
few counties which will not have tax
rates materially higher than they
were in 1915. This increase. In some
places, is from 80 to 48 per cent, and
as far as the reports have been re.
ceiyed, there Is not county In the
state where the rate will be lower
than last year.
Another noticeable feature of the
returns Is that the larger increases
are made In the rural communities OF
the state, and the larger increase OF
rates Is noted In the strictly rura
counties.
Not only have the rates been In
creased, but the valuations also show
marked gain. 30 that the burden
will be practically double raise
Last year the result was just tho op
posite, and while increased valua
tions were returned in many coun
ties, the universal rule was the low
ering OF the rate.
while no exact calculations hav,
been made, an examination OF thu
records indicates the average In
crease will be about one mill on ev
cry dollar of valuation for every tar
ing district.
The rates Is most of the cities ar
also substantially Increased. an,
very few taxpayers will escape pay
ing higher sums into the count
treasury this year, as the return
which have been received by tn
state tax commissioners have bee
approved, and the rates quoted ar
those which will i've certified by tb
county auditor to the county treasuu
ers OF the state for collection"

COLUMBUS MAvoRALrv FIGHT

Mayor Karb ought to be happy

such as reigns in the state house ia
to be blessed indeed.
But despite the dislike that the
state administration manifesto TO-
wards him, Mayor Karb goes right on

ministration to the capital city It has
had in its history. The city. appar'

There is no serious attack on the

Proposes That Congress Shall Appro.
pirate $14,ooo,o0 For Construction
Of Vessels Designed 40 AuxiiIarlss
to the Navy, the Government to
Operate Some Of Them In Oriental
and South American Trade.
indianapolis, Oct. 14.-In a speecn
here before the business men Of this
city, Secretary Of the Treasury Nc
Adoo disclosed his new plan for ship
ping legislation. His speech was re-
garded as rejecting the stand that
President Wilson will take on this
question s
Mr.. McAdoo proposes that congress
shall appropriate $14,000,000, instead
Of $4,000. 900 provided in the original
bill. Instead Of buying ships already
plying the seas he advocates the build.
ing of new vessels designed as aux
iliaries to the United States navy. He
would have the government itself
operate some o. these vessels between
this country and South and Central
America and the Orient. Others Of
the vessels he would lease to private
individuals or corporations under Ger.
tain restrictions. He suggests the crea-
tion Of federal shipping board to
manage the government ownership
plan. He proposes, too. that power be
lodged with some agency of the fed
eral government to regulate the mer-
chant marine companies, and suggests
that the shipping board be empowered
to act in conjunction with the inter-
state commerce commission In arrang.
ing for through bills of lading and
special rates between the railroads
and the steamship lines.
Attacks Pacific Mail.
The most remarkable feature of Mr..
McAdoo's speech, however, was an
attack by him upon the officials Of
the Pacific Mail Steamship company,
This company recently sold its vessels
plying between the Pacific coast and
the Orient and went out of business
because, according to the statements
of the officers, they could not afford
| to operate under the burdensome pro
visions Of the recently enacted sea
mans law.
Secretary McAdoo charges that II
was not the seamans law which
forced the Pacific Mail people to dis
continue business, but the opportunity
to reap big profit through the sale
of their ships on the Atlantic sea
board. This charge by Secretary Nc
Adoo, 1t is understood, will probably
mark the beginning Of a bitter contro
versy between the government anG
the Pacific Mail Steamship company
people over the issue.
Secretary McAdoo said that he hat
written to Secretary OF the Nav!
Daniels asking him what number o
merchant vessels would be required
to have the American navy as 1t Is to
day at its maximum usefulness ant
efficiency in time Of war. Admira
Benson replied for Secretary Daniel
that 1t would require 400 merchan
vessels for auxiliaries. witn total o
1.172,000 gross tonnage.

King Peter, Fl Years Old,
 Will Not Return to Throne

Peter Karageorgevitch l., king of Serbia, is ruler in name only, and it is altogether unlikely that he will ever return to the throne he relin- Crown Prince Alexander, who be- came regent about a month before the assa ssination of the Austrian Arch duke Ferdinand plunged Europe into war. King Peter spent some time with the troops earlier in the war, but last May it was reported from Nish that his physician had ordered him to retire to the quiet little village of Vranskadania, far from the scenes of strife. King Peter passed his sew enty-firstS milestone this week. He is the son of Alexander Kara george witch and a grandson of the famous George Czerny, surnaned Karageorge or Black George the peasant pa triot who founded one of the two ru1- ing families which during the last century have fought for supremacy in Serbia. In the Franco German war Peter, then an exile from his na- tive land,l fought galIantly in the French army. It was during that con- flict that he contracted the severe case of Rheumatism which has ever from his exile and placed upon the Serbian throne twelve years ago, fol- lowing the assassination of King Alexander I. and Queei nDraga- Peter maIT10Q 6T1nCSSSl fAOTkd OF AdOnLSnG- gro in 1883.

The second son, Crown Prince Alexander. to whom King Peter has delegated full authort- ty, is a studious, thoughtful youth. quite unlike his harum-scarum elder brother. The latter. however. has proved a brilliant soldier, and by his bravery and his wounds has some what atoned for his past nisdeeds. Prince Alexander has conducted af- fairs so we'll that it has been definite ly decided that he shall continue to exercise the powers of regent. His unyielding attitude in regard to what he considers the rights of Serbia has been the despair of the diplomats of the allied powers. When the allies sought, early in the war, to enlist Roumania, Bulgaria and Greece on their side, Crown. Prince Alexander blocked the proceedings by refusing to entertain the concessions from Serbia demanded by the other Balkan nations as the price of their interven- tion. Prince Alexander was born in the Montenegrin royal palace and was educated in Russia under the supervi-- sion of the czar.
