REALTY TAX BURDEN
LIGHTER, PERSONALS
HEAVIER, IN 1921

The portion Of the tax duplicate Of
Indiana made up by real estate is be-
ing reduced and the portion composed
of personal property assessments is
being increased by the 1919 tax law.
Under the operation Of the new law
the total tax duplicate has been In
creased from approximately $4,000
100000 prior to 1919 to about $6,000,-
100000 for 1920. but the burden on
real estate has been reduced.
Official tabulations, announced by
Commissioner 8. N. Cragun Of the
state tax board, show that the per-
centage Of the duplicate made up by
real estate is lower than under the
old law. Real estate is assessed every
four years.
Since 1907 the proportion Of dupli-
cate made up by real estate steadily
increased until after the 1919 law be-
came effective. In 1919 there was a
decrease in the percentage of real es-
tate, which has been made more evil
dent by readjustments this year when
some real estate has been reassessed
The following table shows the per-
centage proportion of the tax dupli-
cate made up by real estate and per-

sonal property assessments since 1907:
opponents' Statements

Opponents Of the law nave charged
that under the new tax legislation that
the burden of taxation carried by real
estate has been heavily increased.
It has been alleged that large pro-
portion Of the enormous increase made
in the tax duplicate through the
assessments at true cash value has
been the result Of the boosting Of real
estate valuations in discriminatory
manner. These charges, 1t is said.
have led some farmers of the state to
believe that the burdens OF taxation
are falling more heavily on them than
on other classes.
Tabulations made by the state board
The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1920-09-07

of tax commissioners show that about
two-thirds Of the counties Of the state
have made increases in the valuations
OF personal property Of last year, in
GLIDING the 1919 horizontal increases.
These counties show an increase Of
approximately STE, 900, 600 in personal
property valuations. All counties in
making 1920 personal property valua-
lions showed an increase over last
year, but not as much as the hori-
zontal increases put on in about one
third Of the counties.
