No. 2-Upholding the Tax Law

ties of the state the right to tax them
selves or to spend the money they raise
among themselves in the manner they
desire.
3. 1t has brought about inequalitiesNin
tax assessments to>>the utter defiance of
the constitution and the despair of
assessors.
4. 1t has thrown on county officials a
burden of work that they have been I'M
able to complete in time to collect taxes
when the law itself says they are
payable.
s. It has created a state tax board
with an impossible burden, which in It's
might prevents any taxing unit from do
ing as much as replace a burned school
house without its permission.
8. 1t has removed the lien against real
estate for delinquent taxes and put a
premium on tax lodging by making 1t
impossible for county officials to COM
pei the payment of taxes.
In short, for the things 1t has done are
myriad, it has, in only a few short
months proved to be what the state
suspected-an eleventh hour makeshift,
forced through the legislature by group
of ambitious office seekers intent on
making a pretense Of carrying out a
, campaign promise
And, in spite of the fact that this law
has proved the rock on which the re
publican party of Indiana has split the
Indiana state committee has officially
designated 1t as:
"The greatest achievement of the re-
publican party since the Civil war"

On the title page of this booklet and
in its body appears the following:
'GThe enactment of the new tax law
is the greatest achievement, Of the re-
publican party in Indiana since the Civil
war. within less than five years from
this date it will be universally recog-
nized as such"
The reader viii note chat there is no
recognition in this statement Of the de-
mand for the amendment of this tax law
that sprung up In Indiana almost before
it was published and has since grown to
such dimensions that AGov. Goodrich
feared to call a special session of the
legislature without a pettlcoat muzzle on
the legislators.
The popularity of this greatest
achievement of the republican party in
Indiana since the Civil war; is today so
appalling that it has been attacked in
the courts of nearly every county in the
state, candidates for republican nomina-
lions have openly disavowed it, others
have admitted the necessity of amending
it, and Gov Goodrich himself has con-
coded that it must be amended at a
special session of the legislature which
he promised to call even before the ap-
pellate court acts refused to define what
powers the law granted to the state tax
board.
As the greatest achievement of the
party which enacted it, this law has done
wonders for Indiana.
L 1t has robbed the school children
Of the money with which to house and
teach them.

and directions of the various communi-

PROPERTY

Property Is the fruit Of labor;
property is desirable; is a positive
good in the world. That some should
be rich shows that others may be-
come rich and hence is just encour-
agement to industry and enterprise.

PREDICT EASY
VICTORY over
BOBBY BYLUND
John Jordan is Being Trained by
William Demetral for Coming
Clash in Moline.

Chicago. May 19-John Jordan,
the Greek middleweight terror, is
completing his training here for
his mat clash with Bobby Bylund,
the Moline star. William Deme=
trail, the Greek heavyweight, is put
ting the finishing touches to Jor-
dams preparations, and the big fell
low pronounces the little whirl-
wind in the very pink of condition
and predicts an easy win for him
in straight falls over the downstate
rival.
Originally, Jordan was working
out with Pete katauski. the local
Polish title contender, but a couple
of days ago the pair had a bloody
set-to in the gym before an i'm
mense crowd and at the conclusion
Pete packed his, traps and quit the
camp for good, leaving the rough
house Jordan fat for a training
mate. But he sent out on S. o. S
to his countrymen mat stars and
they responded with a will. Big
Demetral was the first to put in
his appearance, followed by little

yards, Puts Opponent Away
in Aurora Ring.

THIS Pete Mistel of Chicago. who
boxes Battling Johnson Of Moline
before the Sportsman's Athletic
club next Tuesday night, May %,
at the Illinois theatre, evidently
packs a hard wallop. His last ap-
pearance was a week ago in Au-
rora, when he put Young Giese
away in one round of scheduled
10-round affair. Recently he beat
Carl Leonard of Milwaukee decis-
lively.
johnson is determined to redeem
himself in the eyes of his friends
for the lacing he took from Al Van
Ryan Of st. Paul, and he is train
ing as he never trained before to
be in fit condition for the rugged
Mistel. Mistel is one Of those fight
ers in whom there is lots Of stock.
The pair will travel 10 rounds as
the first half of a double windup.
The other half of the card brings
Cal Delaney and Pete NARROW to-
gether. This should prove won
derful match. Delaney is power
full hitter while NARROW is a great
defensive fighter and can punch.
too. Night before last MARROW beat
Ivan Chandler at ST. Louis in 10
rounds. 1t has been his ardent de-
sire for a long time to get in the
ring with a man of eastern reputa-
ton, and this Delaney most GER
tainly has.
Promoters Of the Sportsman's A.
c. are considering the probability
of match between Young Denny
of New Orleans and another good
welter. Denny recently kayoed
Navy Rostran at St. Louis-quite
some notable stunt. He is anxious
to go on in Rock Island and is
willing to meet any man in the
world at his weight.

Under the managerial wing Of
Roy Mansfield, Emmett 'Sheehan is
prepared to step out and show his
ability in rings outside OF Rock Is
land. Emmett is a promising
youlgster among the 125-pounders

develop into a classy mitt singer
This evening Emmett is sched-
uled to box semi-windup at
Des Moines before Tony Ryan's
club. His opponent will be Kid
Jefferies of that city. who is rated
as tough one. Jefferies has been
trimmed only once, and that by
frankie Kick of Rockford. So it
will be a pretty feather in the cap
of the Rock Island boy if he dis
poses Of the kid.
Later on Sheehan will be taken
to LaSaIle and Peoria. His clever
ness and willingness to hit are
bound to make him a popular IA
vorite wherever he shows. With
each new start the power behind
his punches is increasing, so the
fans want to keep an eye on him.
He is certain to be heard from.

Jackson does-both hands together

Pipp, another slashing hitter,

Cobb keeps his hands apart-his
