For Safe Auto Driving
Editor of The Timea

To the Editor of The Times
These are my rules for safe driving:
First, keep your car in perfect condi-
ton, especially the brakes. Know
your car and be at ease yourself Be
familiar with all laws. ordinances,
rules and customs of the streets and
roads. Be a judge of distances and
speeds of those you come in contact
with. Don't feel that others are 60
ing to use the same care. but be pre-
pared to act quickly should they not,
using as your guide the first railroad
rule l learned I'm case of doubt or
danger. take the safe side"
However, you can put the whole
idea In two words, and make them
your slogan, Drive sensibly"

Only two of the sixteen larger cities
reporting had heavier tax burden for
each person in 1921. In no one of the
cities reporting for both 1919 and 1921
did the taxes increase for each person
as they did in Indianapolis
With the exception of Seattle and
St. Paul. no city in a comparative
population rank with Indianapolis
carried so heavy tax burden.
Bureau Makes Survey
These are the actual figures for
1921 as obtained by the census bureau.
1t is the first time an opportunity Is
had TO compare the conditions in In
dianapOlis with those in other cities.
The bureau is now making a survey
Of the cities for 1922, and probably
within the next six months the report
will be ready.
During 1921, the census bureau
shows, each person in Indianapolis
carried tax burden of S4655. That
is, if the total tax collected were
spread evenly over the city and each
person was compelled to carry an
equal burden, it would have been
S46.56. The census bureau officials say
this per capita tax is the best
measure Of tax burden.
During 1919 the tax burden for each
person was $3.50. This shows an
increase of almost 100 per cent In
the tax burden for the two years. an
increase greater than in any com
parative city.
In 1921 Seattle had a tax burden
of S56.6l for each person and Boston
had burden of S49.60.
Cities with less tax burden than In
dianapolis and which have a greater
population were New York. Chicago.
Philadelphia. St. Louis. Los Angeles.
Pittsburgh. San Francisco. Buffalo.
Washington Cincinnati. New Orleans.
Minneapolis and Kansas City Cities
not reporting were Detroit. Cleveland.
Baltimore, Milwaukee and Newark.
Tax Less in Louisville
In cities ranking near Indianapo.
lis in population the tax burden was
much less in Columbus, Jersey City.
Rochester. Denver, Providence. Louis
Vile and Des Moines.
Graphic picture Of the conditions in
Indianapolis. showing the compare
tive burden and the increases from
1919 to 1921 are given in the follow
irr tnhfa.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1923-04-13

The figures on tax burdens cover
only the money paid In general prop
erty taxes. In Indianapolis a poll
tax was also collected while in some
other cities the poll tax idea has been
abandoned. Likewise in some other
cities there is special property tax
which was not applied in indianapolis.
These items, however, are negligible.
The Census Bureau insists the total
general property tax is the best
measure Of tax burden.
Comparison Of the tax burden in In.
dianapolis for 1921 with some cities
slightly less in population, was as
follows:
st. Paul. $47.66; indianapolis. $46.56
Des Moines. s44.51: Providence. $50;
Jersey City. s3S.17; Denver, $685.
Louisville. $31.63; Columbus. $3.50.

organized to help themselves. The
farmer remains outside. For his own
salvation he must organize CONNER

from organized industry, and he sells

German Domination Danger
Baruch thus amplifled his statement
