BeUeridge to Be Put Up by
G.. O. p. for Il. S. SenGtOrShip

When the Goodrich boom elapsed
the talk of Beveridge for senator
grew apace, and In the last few days
the Star, always an enthusiastic
Beveridge supporter, has been giving
the ex-senator lot of publicity.
WatsOn's friends regard this as pre-
Iiminary to an announcement of Bey-
eridge's candidacy, which they say is
being fOstered by Goodrich, with the
assistance of Jewett and Lemcke fol-
lowers.
The Watson faction in the party
does not regard the Beveridge boom
as dangerous. They say that they
have sufficient support in Indiana to
defeat any candidate who can be
linked with Goodrich, and that all
that is necessary to link the two Is
general circulation of the story re-
gardIng conferences between Good
rich and Beveridge at Beveridge's
Indianapolis home several weeks ago.
Indiana daily times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1914-1922, 1920-01-31

A report was in general circulation
in indianapolis today to the effect
that Albert j. Beveridge, former sem
ator from Indiana, would be an
nOuneed tomorrow as candidate for
the republican nomination for sena-
Tor, in opposition to the candidacy
of James e. Watson.
The report was generally received
as probable for the reason that the
most industrious circulation of it was
traced to the GOodrich-Jewett-Lem
cke adherents in the city.
1t was known that during the holi-
days the Goodrich supporters threat
ened Watson with Beveridge in event
Watson did not line up for the pres
idential aspirations of James p.
Goodrich. Watson is reported to have
told Goodrich that he was not Op-
posed to his efforts to become can
didate for president, but that he
could not control the attitude of his
followers toward a Goodrich boom.

In order to obtain a just valuation
of their land it was necessary for all
owners of farm property in Center town
shin to appeal to the state board OF tax
commissioners for revaluations, examina-
ton of the books today revealed. Center
township farm owners who did not ap-
cal must bear an unjust burden OF
taxation.
A comparison Of the valuations Of
land in other townships indicates valua-
lions about on an equality of those
made in Center township by the state
tax board after property owners had ap-
pealed.
Taken as a whole, farm land appraise-
ments in Center township, after the hort-
zontal increase was made by the tax
board and before the assessments on
most of the property were lowered, aver
aged about $500 an acre.
In other townships. after the horizon
tai increase had been added the valua-
tions averaged about $500 an acre. In
cases where appeals were taken the valu-
ations of Center township property were
lowered to a figure approximately equal
to those of other townships.
HOW THE MIXUP
WORKS OUT.
This means that If the valuations as
they stand today are correct, none Of
the valuations in Marion county. except
possibly those in Center township, were
+ correct before the horizontal increases
: were added.
It means that the valuations in all of
the townships, with the exception OF
Center, were lower than the correct val
uations and that those in Center town
ship were nearly correct,
Then the state tax board ordered hori-
Kontal increases in every township, even
including Center, where the valuations
were nearly correct on a basis OF the
present figures.
This action resulted in bringing up the
valuations in the outlying townships to
their correct figure and of making the
valuations in Center township much too
high.
CORRECT INCORRECT
INCORRECT CORRECT.
Thus, instead of the tax board IN
creasing the valuations that were too
low and permitting those which were
correct to stand, it increased 2ll Of them.
making those which were originally in-
correct correct and those which were
originally correct incorrect.
Under these circumstances, the taxpay-
ers had but one recourse. 1t was neces-
sary for them to file with the tax board
an appeal for a revaluation. This was
done by most of the owners Of farm
property in enter township, but in
few eases it was not done and these
taxpayers must bear the burden Of un-
just valuations.
In other words, in order TO obtain
Justice from the state board of tax com
missioners it was necessary for every
owner Of farm property to appear and
make a claim for revaluation, where
upon a just valuation was fixed.
It Is apparently necessary for every
taxpayer to watch every move of taxing
officials if he expects to be treated fairly
and to be assessed his just share of the
taxes paid In the taxing unit in which
his property is situated

FIGHT JEWETT
CONTROLIN TWO
GO. MEETINGS
County Republican Opposition
to Mayor Develops Critical
Situation.
SHANK CROWD RADICAL

Two separate meetings Of republicans
who are opposed to the domination of
the republican organization in Marion
county by Charles w. Jewett are called
for tomorrow.
One viii be held at the Shank store
house by the crowd that supported Lew
Shank, under the name Of Home Rul-
ers," in the last city campaign.
The other meeting is to be held in the
recently opened headquarters of what is
commonly known as the "anti -Jewett'
crowd, at 10s North Delaware street. A
banner. bearing the words "Headquar-
ters Marion County Republican Work
ers," has been erected over this place.
1t is nineteen feet long and fifty two
inches wide, and the leaders of the or
Ganization say mo republican can miss
it,"
GIVES RISE TO
DELICATE SITUATION.
The situation among the opponents or
Jewett control of the organization is a
delicate one There are enough oppon-
ents to insure the defeat of Jewett's con-
troll Of the party organization, provided
they can be brought together. The Shank
crowd Is, Of course, the most radical and
there is some talk of trouble between 1t
and the other organization.
Howevet the meeting at Shank's store
house is generally regarded as simply
a demonstration of the ability of Shank
followers to muster a crowd and it is
said that the extent to which this meet
ing IS attended win guide the "anti-
Jewett" crowd In their treatment Of it.
While both organizers insist on the
same object there Is a rivalry between
them as TO which is the simon pure
anti" organization.
The more experienced politicians OF the
party say that the two groups viii get
together on organization candidates and
present a solid front to the Jewett group
when the time comes to vote for county
chairman.
STATE CAMPAIGN
CONSIDERABLY AFFECTED.
This division in the county on the or
ganization is affecting the state cam
paign considerably. Jewett and his
friends are linked with ]. w. Fesler
for governor, and because Of Jewett's s
friendliness to Goodrich the admins
tration is regarded as a part of the
Goodrich faction which the Watson crowd
recently whipped to a frazzle in the
presidential fight.
McCray is reported to be the real
choice OF the antis, and this report is
based on the beliefe that McCray will
eventually have the support of the Wat
son element in the state. Watson men
are prominent in the antis camp.
Shank and his followers are not yet on
record relative to the governorship, but
it is fairly certain that they will not be
behind Fesler. Edgar Bush is gener-
ally conceded to have a great many
friends among them.
