RADICAL IS
TAX CHANGE
PROPHES|ED
Intention Is to Bring Intan-
gible Properties Out Of
Hiding That May
Pay Toll

The Indiana system of taxation
will be changed radically If the
legislature which meets next
month enacts bill that is being
drawn by the state tax commits
sioners.
Because restrictions of the state
constitution, not all can be done
that the tax commissioners and
other students of taxation believe
should be done. but the effort now
well under gay is to do all that
can be done reasonably to remove
impracticable. inequitable and
rather antiquated features of the
present system.
STATE rs FAR BEHIND.
There was a time when the Indiana
system was regarded as advanced. bur
since then many other states have pass
far behind.
More ard more the burden has been
falling on real estate because it is tan
gible and can not go into hiding. Little
revenue has been realized from such in
tangibles as mortgages. money ana
bonds, hence 1t is proposed by the state
tax commissioners to change the law as
to such property in a way that viii
bring it out of hiding and put consider
able amounts into the public treasury.
SERIES OF CONFERENCES.
The state tax commissioners have
been holding a series of conferences
with representatives Of various inter
ests of the state. at which proposed
changes fiji the law are explained and
suggestions received. BY the end of
this year. il is hoped that the proposals
can be embodied in the form of bill
for introduction when the legislature
convenes.
Essential features of the proposed bill
are as follows:
The state tax commission shall have
original jurisdiction in the valuation for
taxation OF all public utilities. banks.
trust companies and probably also of
building and loan associations. It now
has original jurisdiction over railroads,
both steam and interurben. telephone.
telegraph and express companies.
POWER TO REvALUE.
1t shall have power to revalue the
property of any taxation district If il
finds the valuation below the standard
of other districts.
It shall have the power to remove
county assessors. and county assessors
shall have the power to remove town
ship assessors. In the event of removal
of a county assessor. the county com
missioners would fill the vacancy. In
the event Of the removal by the county
assessors Of township assessor. the
county assessor would appoint another
to fill the vacancy.
For the taxation of intangibles such
as mortgages. money and bonds. the
proposed bill will provide that they
shall be assessed at their full value
other property. but that there shall be
deductions to the extent of about as per
