WHAT WOULD HAPPEN
One prominent state official de-
e.ciared this statement seems to the
average citizen Of Indiana a bald
liza"
The idea can be carried further.
II every board and commission IN
tho state house, except the state high
way commission, should be abolished
at once, the tax rate IN the state
would have to be increased-not de-
: creased
Tho reason for This Ia that the
various boards and commissions.

an amount moro than enough to de-

government (By ssate government
Is meant all tho boards and COM
missions In tho state house and the
various departments OF elective Of
fcers but. OF course docs not include
tho cost Of maintenance OF tho state
schools and benevolent fnstitutions).
In this connection John Brown.
chairman OF tho state tax commits
sion, had an Interesting experience
the other day. Flo was on a train
with q number Of thu delegates who
! were returning homo from tho demo-
cratic state convention Tho leader
among the delegates was denouncing
the tax commission and the cost Of
state government Mr.. Brown asked
him how much he thought Il COST to
run tho state government-how much
ont Of every 500 OF taxes pairs went
agencies IN tho state house.
MADE WILD GUESS
All OF tho pers6ns declared they
had no idea how much out OF every
t1eo went to tho state. but tt must
b enormous. Some ventured that
more than $50 out Of every $500 In
taxes collected went to tho state.
Mr.. Brown replied that tho aver
ago amount paid TO the state by any
tax payer IN Indiana out OF every
$500 of taxes was soventy-four cents
in 1921. He added that not ono cent
OF that seventy-four cents was spent
for any state office, but on the con-
trary was used to pay the salaries OF
local judges. Judges Of tho circuit
Superior and criminal courts, and To-
cal prosecuting attorneys. and to aid
In tho maintenance OF the three

LATVIA DECIDES TO

Riga, Aug. 31.-If your income is not less than 500 GOO rubles a year and you would gamble, you soon will be able to do so with every comfort and convenience at Riga, on the shores of the Baltic. The Iatviar government with an eye to needed revenue, has granted a gam bling con- cession to certain French interests, and September will see the pening of Casino which, it is hoped, even- tually will cut into the popularity Of Monte Carlo.
 The project is not unpretentious. It embraces the construction of a per nnarent Casino to take the place of the temporary building for use this summer; there will be horse racing and sea bathing; a new hotel with 300 rooms is to go up, and an exist ling hotel is to be renovated in a man.
 nna alculated to suit the most mod

Also a bank near the Casino Will give u+ nancial help to those whose rating passes a close scrutiny.
 Among the regulations of the Ca sino is one which provides that any person desiring to gamble must have an income Of 500, ,0oo rubles, or s2,400 a year.
