LET TAX LISTS
ALONE,' ADVICE
OF ASSESSORS
Verdict Given on Way to Apply
Tuthill-Kiper Curative
Measure.
IS CALLED UNBIASED

Every township assessor in Marion
county Is agreed that the tax duplicates
should remain as they are, said Leo X.
Fesler, county auditor, today, in dis
cussing the way the township asses
sors favor applying the famous Tuthill-
Kiper curative measure which was passed
by the last special session of the Good
rich legislature in an attempt to main
tain the horizontal increases which were
declared Illegal by the state supreme
sGourt.
Mr.. Fesler said five of the township as
SCISSORS are republicans sand four are
democrats and that each one favors max
ing no changes by the board Of reviews
in the tax duplicates.
1t became apparent today that if the
county board of review take Il similar
view Of the matter the sugar coated
legalization provisions OF the Tuthill-
Kiper bin will work as the trainers ap-
parently intended them to work.
PREDICTION Is
BORNE OUT.
This statement of the attitude of the
township assessors bears out the pre-
dlction Of Senator Elsner when he at
tackled the bill on the floor Of the SEN
ate by saying that the bill "legalized
everything"
Representative TuthiIl, the framer of
the original Tuthill legallzing bill, and
who lent his influences in putting a nice
coat OF legalizing sugar to the curative
tax measure as passed by both houses Of
the special session of the legislature so
as not to leave too bad a taste in the
mouths of the public, admitted shortly
after the Tuthill- -Kiper compromise meas
ure was passed last Friday night, that
the bill as a whole was a Iegalizing
measure.
The net tax valuation of taxable prop
erty in Marion county totals approx
imately S6S7, 100000, according to Au-
ditor Fesler.
It is understood that Fesler viii an
nounce tomorrow when he will call the
county board of reviews into session to
reassess, review and equalize the assess
ments as provided for in the TuthilI-
Kiper act.
There are more than 10000 duplicate
ssa3mes on the tax duplicates and accord
ing TO Fesler il there should be a gen
eral reduction of even 1 per cent, for
example, it would mean that every item
on the tax duplicate would have to be
changed.
L know that the taxpayer who feels
that bis property has not been assessed
at its true cash value will insist that it
be done,'' said Fesler.>
It will be remembered that Senator
EIsner in attacking the TuthIl- Kiper
bill said it was heaping an impossible
task on the county auditors OF the state
and incurring q heavy extra expense.
The county council viii meet Sept. Z co

appropriations 10 run the various county
offices and institutions.

intention to carry out her obligations" I"

tees, saying:
THUS far Moscow has not made any
offer to recognize the engagements Of
the preceding government.
You may say for me that we will
treat with them politically the instant

STRESSES NEED OF
UNITED STATES.
Millerand laid stress on the desirable
ity of the United States participating in
the settlement of the Russian question
When asked If the Russian policies of
France and the United States were the
same he smiled slightly, and with an
expressive gesture of hopelessness, re
piled:
Il don't know what the United States
Russian policy is.
Washington unfortunately apparently
has completely withdrawn from Euro
pean affairs.
'An I can say is I'm sorry. and hope
she win re-enter soon"
SO far the premier said he had re-
cedved no word direct OF the Polish
armistice negotiations.
"If they failed 10 agree" he declared.

with officers and men.

When That Wicked Wind BLOws Late
Today WOn,en's Style Battle MaV End

CHICAGO, Aug. 3.--The most i'm
portant and thrilling controversy in
local history was on here today-a
war to determine whether the east or
the west shall dictate styles of WON
ems apparel in the latter section.
To determine the superiority of the
rival fashions, two style shows were
being held.
The eastern display was staged at
the Terrace gardens, downtown, and
the western at the Marigold gardens
on the north side.
Here's what the contending ex-
hibitors had to say about each
others shows:
Westerners-"The revue at the
Terrace gardens is a cheap, sample
room affair, and is an attempt by
eastern firms to dig into the western
trade
Fasteners -'"The Marigold affair
is only an exhibition OF freaks, high
prices and STACEY styles"
Both resues exhibited everything
from suits and furs to whatever a
lady first puts on when she gets up
in the morning.
