TAXATION OF own
EARNING Powers
This Is Plan Suggested by
Farmers

Indianapolis. March 4 tP In
diana farmers have very definite
plan for tax reduction, which in
some cases will halvc their assess
ments.
Their own tax measure has passed
the senate and is before the lower
house OF the state legislature, and
with a three-fourths majority in The
senate and two-thirds in the nous"
the farm group has announced its
intention to pass the measure over
the state tax boards objections and,
if necessary, over the veto Of Gov
crnor Ed Jackson.
When the bill has been ironcd ont
by amendment, It will be pressed
for final enactment with these pro-
visions:
/. Designation Of earning power
instead of market value as the de-
tormining factor in real estate as
scssmcni.
>. Limitation Of tax collections
to s. on each 800 of taxable prop
erty, and in no instance TO more
than 20 per cent of the normal an
nual net income produced by prop
erty dependent for value upon its
earnings.
.. Right Of appeal from state tax
board decisions on assessment lis
putcS.
"All urban real estate depends
on income production for its value"
asserts Representative Charles NJ.
Trowbridge. leader of the house
farm bloc. IAN agricultural prep
erty should be on the same basis. 1t
is now assessed for more than it
would sell for
State tax board officials say that
many less wealthy taxing units
would be crippled by the limitation
OF tax collections to 81 a hundred.
compelling schools to close, para
pudiating public Indebtedness. but
the farmers are adamant. Some
tax rates in Indiana are now as
high as $3.50 or s. per 800 OF tax
able property.
The right of appeal from tax
board decisions is demanded by The
farmers to free them from alleged
discrimination against agric cultural
property as class. This central
board, vested with arbitrary pow
crs, makes final decisions under the
present law in all tax assessment
disputes.

MORE TIME SOUGHT
TO ENTER AIR RACE
U. S. Association May File
Blank Entries in Schneider
Cup Contest.

In order to guarantee the United
ternational seaplane trophy race at
Venice, italy, in the Fall, even though
the possibility of an American rae
ing team flying in that contest APP
pears very remote since the Navy
withdrew from the contest this year,
Porter Adams, president of the Ma
tional Aeronautic Association, will
propose to special meeting of the
organizations contest committee to-
morrow that one two, or possibly
three, blank entries be made, in which
event the association will be able to
renew it's efforts to find planes and
pilots to occupy the allotted space
in the competition.
The entry list closes March /. and
after that date no pilots or planes
will be permitted to fly. Mr.. Adams
first had centered his efforts on find
ing one or more new racing planes
to fly in the contest before the 1st
of the month, but as the date draws
TO close, he has decided not to
ieopardize the chances of an eventual
entry by insisting on it now.
Must Post Forfeit.
In making the blank entries the
association. will have to post bond
of 5000 francs per plane, or. at the
current rate of exchange $500 per,
ship, to guarantee the American
planes participation in the race. In
the event no planes come forward
before the Fail, that bond will be for
feited. --A~
If the contest committee adopts
the proposal of Mr.. Adams, then his
time limit for securing an entrant
will be exteSded until one month
before the race, which will be held
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1927-02-24

some time between September Is
and October Is.
In this period" Mr.. Adams said
today. Il feel confident that Amer
leans will bend every effort to get
some kind of racer in the contest
to uphold the glory of American
aeronuatics."
Year Usually Needed:
Granted the foundation for new
Schneider Trophy racer has not yet
been thought Of, the design and
construction of new plane and
engine before the contest, or within
the next six months, will tax the
American aeronautical industry with
a heavier responsibility than any
time in the past, it is held.
heretofore, at least a year has
been devoted to the birth of new
racing planes and even this period
has been considered none too long.
The Italians last year however
designed and built three new planes
and engines in seven months, and
this speed in aircraft construction
has thrown down the challenge to
American aeronautics to accomplish
something similar in an even shorter
space of time.
