FAIR PLAY FOR
ALL TAXPAYERS
BEING SOUGHT
Chamber of. Commerce
Group Hopes to Help
Small Fry Get Refund.

Fair play for taxpayers, big and
little, in refunding taxes illegally
paid in 1920, 1921 and 1922, is being
sought by the special Chamber Of
Commerce budget committee, Will
liam H. Book, civic affairs secretary,
announces.
The committee will meet soon to
find way to give the little taxpayer
equal opportunity with big taxpayers
in obtaining the refund, Book said.
Might Get Clerks
Harry Dunn, county auditor, noti-
fled Book that statements of the
amount due each taxpayer can be
prepared by employing two addi-
tional clerks.
At present taxpayers are forced
to search the records to determine
the amount of refund due them.
Larger taxpayers are employing
agents for this work while smaller
taxpayers, unfamiliar with the au-
ditor's books and unwilling or I'M
able TIC employ special agents on a
percentage basis, will not go to the
trouble to collect it, officials said.
Within the Law \
While Clinton H. Givan, county
attorney, has held that no refund
can be made except where taxpay-

Tax Valuation Cut Is Good,

: w. H. Settle.

Farmers of Indiana were lio'
kiyen the reduction to which they
are entitled in the sos, S,O95 valu-
st,on cut of last Saturday by the
state board Of tax commissioners
but a step has been taken In the
fight direction.
This was the statement today OF
William n. Settle, president OF tne
Farm bureau.
II marks an important step for-
mard in the bureaus campaign 1or
more equal distribution OF the TAX
burden and economies IN govern
hoent, he asserted.
Sees Greater Saving
s.While it appears that the reduc-
lion ordered will mean saving In
the farmers 1928 tax bill Of between
$4,000. 900 and 100000, other parts
of the program, if it is accorded 1ull
cooperation in the local commit
ties. will swell the savings to mucn
greater sum-" he continued.
ut will be remembered that the
Yindley-Shake Johnson tax Dill,
Runder which the reductions were or
ydered and which was sponsored by
the Farm Bureau, was not the only
important piece of legislation urged
nv the Farm Bureau and enacted by
the legislature.
House Bill No. 174, extending the
State budget system back into the
counties is of equal Importance IN
keeping down local expenditures If
the taxpayers will make full use OF
it.
'To further this, the Farm Bureau
is planning a statewide campaign
for economical and wise use OF the
public funds.
Promise in Future
However, the terms of the Lind
1ey-S7 axe Johnson act promise even
more in the way of reduced farm
taxation in the future than they
do for this year.
Under the bill the State tax board
could not increase valuations, how
ever desirable that might be, but in
1928, when a full reappraisment of
all property is provided for, the tax
board will have this opportunity and
in addition will appraise real estate
on the basis of its earning power.
With the proper scrutiny of local
budgets by local taxpayers and full
consideration of the provisions of
the new tax law by the State tax
board, farmers of Indiana may look
forward hopefully to important re-

GLENDALE FIREMEN OFFER
SERVICES TO STATE FORESTRY
DEPARTMENT

c. E. Clendaniel, Chief of the Ell
lendale Volunteer Fire Department,
in a recent communication to w. s..
Taber, State Forester, has offered
the services of the Glendale Fire
Company in the protection of forests
from fires. The offer of service has
been accepted by the State Forestry
Department, which is cooperating
with county, township, municipal and
private agencies owning and con-
trolling woodlots, forests or wild
lands, in the prevention and sup
preston of forest fires.
In the State of Delaware twenty
eight per cent of the land area
(S50,000 acres) is forest land. Care
lessness with fire in or near wood
land is responsible for the greater
number of forest fires, and although
a fire in the State may not reach eX-
tensive proportions, it, nevertheless,
can destroy in a few minutes trees
that took Nature years to grow.
They not only destroy the present
growth, but also what is called the
prospective growth-seeds lying in
the litter on the forest floor. Forest
fires are not respectors of persons
or property; they burn everything in
their path, whether it be timber,
buildings, nesting birds, animals or
occasionally a human being, and
leave nothing but charred ruins in
their wake. Last spring 1925
forest fires destroyed hundreds of
acres of timber and in addition to
the extinction costs, did more than
100000 worth of damage in Sussex
County alone.
The State Forestry Department,
with the assistance of the various
volunteer fire companies throughout
the State, will endeavor to reduce
this annual forest fire damage to
minimum. Forest protection is one
of the most important factors in
forestry; without it, forestry cannot
be practiced. 1t can be said that
many of our farms and cumberland
owners are quite familiar with the
damage that forest fires do and are
careful to protect their woodlands.
Nevertheless, it takes but one care
less person to cause a fire that can
burn over the careful owners lands.
