AMERICAN VIEW
ON PREPARATIONS
STILL CLOUDED
Officials Reiterate Denial of
Government Move for
Commission.
BUSINESS MEN AT WORK
Administration Has Not Yet
Joined Hands With Com
mercial Heads.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 22.-(By A
P.)-The situation relative 10 ex-
tension Of American aid toward a
European reparatiors settlement
contiued today to present a badly
beclouded picture, on which little
light was thrown from any quarter
American officials reiterated
their denial of government backing
at the present stage for the Ameri-
can commission plan sponsored by
commercial leaders and OF various
published statements Regarding the
direction in which American official
opinion was tending.
Moving Behind Scenes.
But there was no clear cut denia
that high officials in Washington
had discussed the commission pro
posal earnestly among themselves
and with others and no one at
tempted TO give the impression that
the United States government would
be displeased that the negotiations
now in progress would result in ar
agreement.
Neither did any official come for
ward 10 explain the true character
of the myst erious moving behind
the scenes Of the world OF diplo-
macy to which illusion has beer
made repeatedly.
In all OF the negative comment or
the subject, state department auth
critics seemed most anxious to deny
that the government itself despite
the close touch 1t is maintaining
with the situation was in any way
a party at the present time 10 the
plan for a survey commission, sug-
gested first in this country by Of
ficials Of the Chamber of Commerce
Of the United States.
No Official Connection.
1t was said flatly that the Ameri'
can government at the present stage
'ad no connection with the plar
which contemplated creation OF 9
body Of experts to inquire into the
ability Of Germany TO pay repara-
tions. Furthermore, one official in
6icated that Il the commission plan
ever came to the point where a pro
posal for its acceptance cosid be
made through diplomatic channels
the United States would not be the
proper power TO make that pro
posal. 1t was pointed out that
treaty rights are involved in the
reparations difference and that nc
formal offer 10 mediate would be in
place from any government except
on the solicitation Of the govern
ments involved in the controversy
As the commission plan now is
explained here, the commission
would be wholly an unofficial body Sc
far as the Washington government
Is concerned and would have TO dc
only with reporting it's findings as
to Germany's economic ability tc
pay.

TAXES INVALID
Tribunal Says County Boards

TNDIASAPOGJIS. Dec. 22-(By 4
P.)-HOrIzOntai increases in tax ap-
kpraisements made by county boards
'of review in eighty eight counties IN
1920, following enactment by a
special session OF the Legislature Of
the Tuthil-Kiper act, We're invalid
tho Indiana supreme court held to-
day.
The courts decision reversed that
OF Judge Hay Of the Marion Super
ior court who held in a case brought
by Washington township farmers
that the increases had been made
legally.
Present Methods Unaffected.
Tax officials believe. however
that todays decision does not in
volve the present methods of equali-
zation. The only difficulty that might
result from the decision. officials
say would be an attempt by some
taxpayers 10 obtain a refund FOR
taxes paid under the law which was
declared invalid. Whether or not a
refund should be granted would be
a matter for further court action ac-
cordlng 20 W G.. Nusbaum, an agent
for the tax board. Mr.. Nusbaum
points out that should a refund be
granted a higher tax levy would be
necessary next year 20 make the
amount paid back 10 the taxpayers

fic provision for equalization by

Case Appealed.
The case. which was before the
court today. was brought by WIZ
/ Jam Bosom and other residents oi
Washington township, Marion coun-
~. against Ralph Lemcke. county
treasurer and members OF the state
tax board In the Marion superior
court Judge Hay held that the hOri-
zoutal cases had been made legal
by the Tuthill-Kiper act passed by
the special sessio on OF the legislature
IN 1920. The case was then appeal
ed TO the supreme court.
In the courts decision today II
was pointad out that the Tuthiu-
Kiper act was supplemental 10 the
tax law of 1919. The 1919 law the
court said. provided for notice to the
taxpayers in the case OF equalization
proceedings by county boards.
Such notice was given when the
horizontal incresse was made by the
Marion county board under the Tut
hll-Kiper act. the court declares
thus making the increase void.
