Excess Not Explained.

How the excess occurred in the
tax rolls OF the county officials
have as yet been unable to make a
satisfactory statement except as
an error in computation. The s
per cent Limitation law which gov
erns the levy Of taxes throughout
the state went into effect shortly
after the county had made up its
budget for 1920, and in making
up the budget for last year, Marion
county incurred a deficit of $685.
600 over the budget figures CT
1920 because of the courts error
in including two compulsory tax
items in the excess budget which
was declared illegal by the su-
preme court. These items were
the common school fund and the
high school tuition fund which the
county court is required to pro
vide for above all other levies
These two deficits were made Ut
OF other funds, but how the final
adjustment was made has never
been disclosed.

REFUND OF
TAXES DUE
ANY Time
Excess Payments Dur
ing First Half of 1920
To Be Returned Soon,
Say Officials

Refunds of the $4,000 excess
paid to the county by property
owners in the spring Of this year
while remitting the first half of
their 1920 taxes, have not as yet
been made, though many people
are under the impression, when in
receipt of a sheriff's check show
ing that they have paid more than
their actual taxes on the second
half Of last year, that such is the
case.
Since October s, when the last
half of the 1920 taxes were due,
the sheriff's office has not been
allowed by law to accept the ex-
cess. Therefore, when a taxpay-
er sent in his check for the latter
part of 1920 he was refunded the
amount of the excess on that bali
and no more.
The refund on the first half
cannot be made by the Sheriff be-
cause his is not a disbursing Of
flee. The funds resulting from
the excess have been accepted by
the county treasurer and until an
order from the district attorney is
officially approved and signed by
the county court, setting forth the
manner in which the refund is to
be made and when, 1t is Impossible
for the taxpayer to receive any
OF the excess in the hands OF the
county.
It has been possible, however
for the county clerk to set in mo-
tion the machinery through which
the refund will be made. Compu-
tations Of the excess due each in
dividual taxpayer have already
been made and warrants are in the
process of being made out to be
remitted through the mails.
Because OF the complicated
bookkeeping system of the tax col
lector's office, it was impossible te
make the necessary arrangements
for the refund until after the sec
ond half was due, though the er-
ror was made known to the public
through the request of the news
papers in the spring. This, with
the fact that other matters have
recently claimed the attention oil

But Mr.. PloOt was more genteel. He
never went marauding without suitable
expressions of regret. When he wanted

The neighbors generally gave up
peaceably, and it is true that they
vastly preferred Mr. Ploot and Tariat
to Mr.. King and Proley. Thus they
plundered their neighbors. Mr.. Brown,
Mr.. Black, Mr.. Red, Mr.. Yellow and
even Mr.. White.
These raids went on for many years
until there were no neighbors left whose
lands did not belong either to Mr..
King or Mr.. PloOt. Mostly, however,
they belonged to Mr.. PloOt, for he had
been in the game longer. Now the two
masters had no one to raid but each
other. Mr.. Ploot kept telling Mr.. King
that he was ready to call it draw and
take the clubs away from the apes. Mr..

Ploot, partly because he had seem him

So each master had the ape sleep

Mr.. King started it. Driving Proley

Tariat, who ran, roaring with pain and
rage, to the stable to get his own club.
He came back with it and the fight
began. Mr.. King and Mr. Ploot stood
behind their apes in the Ploot wheat
field shouting orders to their apes as
to how they were to use their clubs.
Hour after hour the fight went on.

Then Mr. not, who was much the

"Proley. y Shouted to Mr.. King

I am your nend. Your real enemy is
your mastel Mr. King. It is he who

brother. KiIl your master. Kill Mr.. King
and YOU will be free and happy. Kill
Mr.. King and you will never have to

Mr.. King was furious.
"Liar!" he yelled, "Hypocrite!
Cheat! ScoAndrel! Proley, don t listen
to him"
PrOley had no time to listen. He was
too busy fighting.
Still Mr.. 'Ploot kept shouting:
"Proley, kill your master and the
dreadful fight will be over. Tariat and
I are your friends"
As the fight went on, these words did,
nevertheless, sink into the dull brain
of Proley, and though he kept swinging
his club doggedly, his head hummed
with the tune: ''Kill your master and
You will be free"
Tariat was beginning to get decidedly
the better Of it. Proley's heavier club
had been an advantage at the start but
now that he was tiring Tariat's lighter
club rained the blows on him faster
than he could return them. Besides, the
whole days which Mr.. Ploot had given
Tariat to do as he pleased had made
cleverer ape of him SO that he was
quicker of hand and eye than Proley.
The toiler. [volume] (Cleveland, Ohio) 1919-1922, 1921-01-29

| Then PrOley,s dull wits told him that
Tariat's club swould surely kill him
if he did not kill his master. Still he
waited, for the old fear of his master
was strong. But the new fear of death
was stronger. At last, he wheeled, and
with a single sudden stroke of his club,
he struck Mr.. King dead where he
stood.
Mr.. Ploot yelled with triumph. Tariat
lowered his club.
The sun famed red splendour from
the west; A hush fell on the land. The
two apes stood still in the trampled
wheatfield.
Then befell a wondrous thing.
AS Tariat looked at his brother ape
it was as if he saw change change
come over his body. The coarse brown
hair fell from his sides; the ugly stoop
was shaken from his shoulders; the low
forehead cleared and broadened. Gone
was the shaggy shape of Proley and in
his place Tariat beheld young man of
wondrous strength and beauty. His skin
was dazzling white, Strong and supple
were his muscles The lines of his body,
the ripples of sinew when he stepped
or moved were like poetry set to noble
music. He lifted his face toward tie
sky. His eyes shone like the dawn of
a summer day. And on his forehead was
a star like the star of morning.
Only the star on his forehead was
red-red as the blood of heroes.
Then from the lips of this strong,
divine young man sprang hymn of
joy.
Brothers." he said, "we are broth
ers. Why have we fought? Why should
we fight9 We are not ugly. We are not
stupid. We are not cruel. We are beau
tlfp. We are strong. we are brave
and wise. We are kind. Our hearts are
full of love for the whole world. Why
have we been slaves9 Oh brother let
us both be free"
Thus sang the young man with the
beautiful body like tower of ivory
and the red star cleaning on his fore
head like the blood of heroes And Tar
lat, the ape, listened.
And his master listened-and tremb-
: led as he listened. His lips moved His
throat ratified hoarsely as he tried to
say: "Tariat! dear, dear Tariat, kill
him, and the whole would belong to
u.s.
But Tariat stood, his lower teeth
set agleam on his upper lip, his head
bent foreward, and his eyes glowering
fiercely at his master. As he glowered
the muscles of his hairy fist tightened
on the handle Of his club.
