JUDGE COLLINS
CANDIDATE FOR
DENOMINATION
Republican Seeks Election
for Fourth Consecutive
Term.

James A. Collins. judge of Marion
Criminal Court, today announced his
candidacy for denominations on the
Republican ticket.
Judge Collins, who was elected in
1914, is completing his third term
Prior to 1914 he had served four
years as city court judge.
In the lower court, Judge Collins
attracted attention by introducing a
system of adult probation. He or
iginated the idea by placing men on
their honor and giving them an op
portunity to pay their fines and
costs in installments. A total of
1889 persons paid fines and costs
totaling $34,014 in this manner.
Backed by Bar
Judge Collins consented to become
a candidate for the Criminal bench
in 1914 when 179 members Of the
Marion County Bar Association
urged that he introduce similar
system of adult probation in that
court.
During the eleven years Collins
has committed 4,722 persons to penal
institutions, as follows: Indiana
State Prison, 6S2; Indiana Reforma
tory, 1,117; Marion County work
house, 142; Indiana State Farm, l,
$50, county Jail. 1888 Indiana Won
ans Prison, AZ, and correctional de
partment of Indiana Woman 8
Prison, 101.
Work Heavier
In addition, five persons we're sen
fenced to death and ten sent to the
colony for criminal insane at In.
diana State Prison. Judgment has
been withheld in / ,07S cases. OF this
number less than ! per cent have
had the suspension of sentence set
aside and committed to institutions.
1.-The work of the court has kept
pace with our increasing population
and is heavier now than ever in its
history said Collins.
"At the beginning Of this term
there were 1,05S cases awaiting trial.
OF which 532 were city court ap-
peals. The jury calendar has
eighteen cases ready for trial OF
this number five are for murder;
five for manslaughter, growing out
of automobile accidents" said Col
Inns
1.-THE work Of the court is SO
heavy that it win be impossible to
devote any time to the primary

SCISSOR violates his oath by an over
valuation.
THE steadily growing demand that
local assessors of taxes cause equal
ity in valuations, so that all taxpay-
ers will pay only their just proportion
is the natural result of the constant
increase in the cost of municipal gov
eminent. There is none but knows
that all local taxes have increased
there are some that believe they
know why, b , the many are still
cropping in the dark for the answer
to high taxes. The people as a whole
have not been encouraged to think
in terms of expenditures but have
been educated in the belief that the
tax rate tells the story. That it does
not every thin ing person knows.
The municipality is as subject to the
law of economics as is the individual,
and suffering has been caused be-
cause of failure to recognize it. The
assessor can look forward to a task
, that will be increasingly difficult but
with an attitude on the ptset of the
community that will furnish the as
SCISSOR with adequate facilities to
reach a just value which if not alb
solutely accurate will approach 1t
with a degree of eXactness that will
bring about equality in valuation If
not always equality in taxation"
: The Massachusetts tax commits
sioner in his talk brought out many
points of especial value to the asses .
iors in their routine and he was ac-
corded warm applause.
