Goodrich Seeks
More Authority
For Tax Board

INDIANAPOLIS. Feb. 15.-Gov.
James p. Goodrich established a
precedent when ne appeared before
senate committee on judiciary b
Wednesday night in support OF the
bills pending before both the house
and senate proposing 10 place the
assessment Of all public utilities OF
the state in the hands of the state
board OF tax commissioners.
The governor pointed out the need
of increased authority for the state
tax board ard a provision for eX-
tending the ume it shall devote 10
its work
Justice never will be done in tax
matters. said the governor Il am
not prepared % dispute that public
tilities pay nearly their share. Yet

testify unfair that some counties
should pay five times more into the
treasury for state purposes. The
assessment of public utilities is not

ratio between gross income and the
value of property County and town

appraise utility properties. A close
approximation of a fair assessment
can be approached by the reports OF
