compute their rate per cent, in
arranging for their budgets, SO
that the figures will terminate at
the nearest mill or tenth of g
mill, that will produce the amount
to be raised. The levy must
either raise the exact amount ne
cessary, or the smallest amount
possible over it. In consequence
it is possible for the taxes to be
slightly in excess of the amount
required.
The $33,S42 represents an ex-
cess over and above the amount
OF the 1920 levy plus the six j,er
cent increase, of between three
and four-tenths of mill. Judge
Bushey said today the refund
work, which will entail consider

tate complete rewriting of the

No Refund of Tax
Excess Yet Made.
Attorney Queried

NO action has been taken by
the Marion county court, toward
refunding to the county taxpayers
the money collected in excess of
the six per cent tax limitation
law, it was learned from County
Judge W. M. Bushey this morning.
The court, he said, is awaiting an
opinion of the attorney general
which will determine whether the
refund will approximate $4,000
or $4,000.
That the county court had rails
ed money in excess of the six per
cent limitation law, became known
here several weeks ago when the
facts were elected and published
by The Capital Journal.
Th state tax commissioner con-
tends that the excess is $33,342.
Judge Bushey says it is "some-
thing over $4,000" One of the
points of law on which the attor-
ney general is asked to rule, has
to do with a provision governing

Glutted markets this morning
caused Strawberries to descend in
price far below any point reached
in years. Offerings to retailers
yesterday were large and varied
in quality, and by the closing
hour, stores found themselves over
stocked and with berries bought
the day before still unsold.
These conditions necessitated a
drop from s1.25 and $3.50 to 75
cents per crate, and the refusal
OF hundreds of Crates OF berries
offered by the farmers this morn
Ing. The berries selling at this
reduction need to be canned i'm
mediately or will become a total
lose to the housewife.
1t is hardly probable that the
demand today will carry the en-
tire supply off the market so that
a resumption of the $1.25 price
as minimum for a crate on Mon
day will be possible.
AT the price of five cents a box.
retailers are claiAhing heavy losses
because of the wholesale price of
$l,O0 per crate and the cost OF
delivery to their customers. When
the present supply is considered
this Wholesale price appears to be

While there were some berries

OF the berries raised in this dis

tunate indeed if he is able to
make every day in the month.
There are comparatively few men
now making full time. 1t is true
that the railway companies show
wages earned in much higher
amounts than those quoted, but
they do not tell that the higher
months represent full time and
overtime.
Unfair Propaganda.
1.-THE railroad companies nave

be hoped that before the trouble
is over, the prejudiced opinion
based on railway publicity mis-
statements will understand the
exact wage that may be earned
