arguments against giving up the former

Test to Topic.
GOODRICH TO EXPLAIN

Interest has been added to the annual
tax conference, which opens at the state
house Thursday by the decision of the
appellate court, holding the horizontal
increases ordered by the state board OF
tax commissions to be legal. The con-
ference will last three days
The attitude of members of the tax
board and of Gov Goodrich on the tax
law Is expected to be explained at the
conference. which Will be attended by all
local assessors. Gov. Goodrich has given
members Of the legislature to understand
that he will not oppose an amendment
to the law eliminating the provision that
the state tax board must pass on local
bond issues 1t is probable that he will
express this attitude in his speech be-
fore the assessors. The subject OF his
speech will be Tax Legislation"
CRITICISM BLAMED
ON ADMINIST RATION.
Much of the criticism, which has arisen
In all parts of Indiana, has been due,
not so much to the tax law itself, as
to the administration Of the law. The
administration OF the tax law will be
explained by Fred A. Sims. chairman OF
the board. Mr.. Sims subject will be

this question has been decided. the su-
preme court still has before It the ques-
tion Of the constitutionality Of the pro-
vision that requires the tax board to
pass on local bond issues. With the hori-
zontal increase question decided this
problem takes foremost Importance.
ASSESSORS REPORTED
TO BE DISSATISFIED.
It is understood that a number of as
SCISSORS are dissatisfied over the manner
in which the tax law is being admins
tered The horizontal increases were in
the nature Of a direct reflection on the
work OF the assessors because they in
creased valuations made by assessors un-
der intructions to assess all property at
its full cash value.
Besides the speeches Of the governor
and members Of the tax board. the dis
cussion at the session will have to do
largely with the administration of the
law next year. The tax board Is en-
deavoring to stop the common practice
of householders in putting their prop
erty on assessment sheets 9t a lump
sum, usually much lower than the ac.
tual worth of the property To elini.
nate this practice assessment sheets item
izing various articles of household prop
erty have been prepared. This will
mean that the householder must place n
valuation on each separate item rather.
than all of his goods together.

but Offers 3 Proposals.
TO ISSUE STATEMENT

WASHINGTON, Feb. 3.-Dircctor Gen
eral Hines of the railroad administra-
ton met the brotherhood chiefs at IL
o'clock today, and presented to them a
statement of policy concerning their
wage increase demands, which was un-
derstood to be in general a rejection of
the demands, but proposed three alterna-

a basis for ultimate settlement of the
mems grievances.
Director General Hines announced that
a complete statement of his attitude
would not be made public until later
today, as it would be susceptible to pos
sible material changes. An acceptance
or rejection, Mr. Hines explained, of
either of the alternatives he had mapped
out might place the governments posi-
tion in an entirely different light by the
developments of a couple of hours.

The war department is concerned lest
the isolation of Vladivostok may mean
battle between American troops and the
bolshevists, for they pointed out that
the troops which are drawing toward
Vladivostok are not properly equipped to
give battle, but are prepared practi-
cally for debarkation.
Advices as to just how many troops
have already reached Vladiyosrok are
meager and it was stated today that it
may be that a large part of the Amer
lean troops have already been concen-
trated in that port and if there are but
few left in the interior they may be
routed across country to some other port.

News Sources Contaminated
by Party Money and Invest
ments in Publications.
HOODWINK DEMOCRATS

The republican party Of Indiana has,
through manipulations extending over a
number of years. succeeded IN bringing 20
its support newspapers whose combined
circulation is more than double that of all
the democratic papers in Indiana.
In the state, outside of indianapolis,
the republican papers and so-called in
dependent papers that are known to be
republican in their political tendencies
have a preponderance of circulation over
the democratic papers and so-called In
dependents with a democratic leaning OF
approximately one third. Combining this
preponderance with the Indianapolis sit
uation and the ratio for the entire state
is fully two to one in favor of the re
publican circulation.
This analysis, which was originally
prepared for the Democratic Editorial
association of Indiana, was completed be-
fore several changes took place in the
ownership OF Indiana papers and before
IL became known that several newspapers
in Indiana operated ostensibly as demo-
cratic papers were in reality controlled
by republican politicians. No effort has
been made to separate the>sheep from the
goats and in each instance the politics
of the paper has been accepted as 1t was
listed by the paper itself.
The figures have proved a source OF
surprise and some worry to political
leaders of the democratic party for the
reason that they disclose that in the
coming campaign there viii be ample op-
portunity for the republican party to
disseminate it's political arguments and
one-h half as good an opportunity for the
democrats
