$19,985 SAVED TO
WAYNE BY new TAX
Law, SAYS z0ERCHER

The present state tax law is of great
value to Wayne county taxpayers. and
will save them approximately $4,000
this year. says Philip Zoercher, Of
the state tax commission. Mr.. Zoerch-
er addressed the township assessors
Monday afternoon.
Looking over the abstract of assess
ments for the years 1918 and 1919. l
find that Wayne taxpayers will pay
to the state funds, which includes
state tax, state benevolent institution
fund, school tax, educational fund and
vocational fund, s10Os2 less this year
than in 1919" said Zoercher.
''It Is admitted that this year there
Is an increase of 4 per cent on the
total of the state funds. If Wayne
county had to pay this increase there
would be added an additional $3.50.
Under the old assessment the 10
cents on each 800 for state highway
purposes would have netted $40,45S
from taxpayers of this county. How
ever. under the new assessment she
pays only $36.520. Taking the differ
ence of these two amounts and adding
1t to the other amounts a saving OF
$19.985 Is shown, he concluded.
Talks to Assessors.
"The lowest rate in Wayne county
last year was in Harrison township

day afternoon. with a rate Of $1.64
on each $10O This year the county
low rate of 67 cents is again in Harri-
son township.
"The taxpayers in this township, If
they will put in everything they have

bank, can reduce this rate still furth.
er. With 81 cent rate no taxpayer
should hesitate to give in everything
he has.
"The real object of this new tax
law is to secure full valuation, there
by insuring low tax rates. High rates
tend to drive property into hiding
while low rates have the opposite eff
| feet.
The taxpayers are asked to be as
! fair and conscientious in making out
their tax returns as the assessing Of
ficer is in making his returns to the
United States government.
Asks Cooperation.
| Local taxing officials are entitled
| to the cooperation of every citizen
Good citizenship demands respect fol-
the state law the same as for the fed
eral law"
! Zoercher spent half of his addres:
in acquainting the township assessor.
with the state law and with reference
to their actual work. The other hal
was spent in defending the new state
law. He said:
This is the best tax law the state
of Indiana has ever had. was in the
legislature in 1891 and helped pass tht
former measure, which, at that time
was considered the best
/ The secret of why the old tax Law
failed, lay in the inability of thu
state board to enforce it, concluded
Zoercher.
