ignore Value Received

The experience of this department
in the review of tax rates and bond
issues proposed in local communities
far too often disclose an inclination
on the part of the public generally,
and officials especially, to expend
public money without due regard for
the value to be received for such eX-
penditures.
Every citizen, as well as all or
CARNATIONS, should realize and APP
preciate the fact that whenever any
improvements are proposed of what
ever kind or character, even those
that are most essential to the prog
ress of the community, is their bust
ness, and they should in every way
possible manifest sufficient interest
in public welfare to cooperate in Sc
curing for their community the i'm
provements so needed, at reason
able and legitimate cost to the pub
lie.
1t is essential that public officials
realize that they are the servants
rather than the masters of the peo-
pie, and it should be their ambition
to render such service as will re-
fleet the greatest possible credit upon
them and the community, whose in
terests they represent.
We should all join hands in an
earnest effort to make Indiana an
outstanding example of government
al efficiency in all its departments
and municipalities, and thereby in
sure cur further development and
greater progress.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1927-01-01
Ignorant Of Fundamentals

The failure of the public generally
to take sufficient interest in the prob
lem to properly inform themselves
as to its fundamentals, is one of the
many contributing causes to the diff
ficulty in it's solution. There seems
to be a failure on the part of the
public generally to understand that
for every dollar expended for public
purposes either through tax levies or
the issuance of interest bearing OBJ
legations in the form of bonds, the
people themselves must pay the bill
each individual paying his part in
proportion to the amount of prop
erty owned by them, or of which
they are custodians, as in this State,
owing to our constitutional restric-
ton, we are confined to a property
tax.
People, generally speaking, are in
clined to make demands upon the
various public treasures, just as
though there were some mysterious
force somewhere, somehow, that will
take care Of the obligations without
fully realizing that they themselves,
or their descendants must pay the
bill.
Within a comparatively few years,
survey shows that for all govern
mental purposes in Indiana, includ-
ing the State and all its subdivisions,
our tax burdens have increased from
s21, 900, 900 to $134, 1000, 900 in the year
1926.

TAXES COLLECTED
NEXT YEAR TO Be
$1,5S9,OOO LESS
Orgy of Expenditures Over
and Reason Pre-
walls.
BY j. j. Brown.
State Tax Board Chairman

The coming year, 1927, win see a
reduction in the money collected for
taxation purposes throughout In,
diana to the extent of $1,5S9, 900 as
compared with 1926.
This is the first actual reduction
in taxes in many years as the con-
slant demands of the people for in
crease expenditures for more mod
ern improvements have been such
as to cause a constant increase in
taxes.
Taxation has become the country's
greatest economic problem. 1t has
grown to a point where. while SEEM
ingly simple of solution. it is most
difficult of administration.

: By Todd Stops,
Manager HOOsier Motor Club

Safety on the public highways and
the streets of Indianapolis has al
ways been a problem which assumed
major proportions in the work of the
fIoosier Motor Club and the year
1925 has been marked by increased
activities along that line.
The club is always striving to work
with other bodies and branches of

Danger OF High Taxes

The State of Indiana generally,
and the city Of Indianapolis especial
Iy, has many natural advantages
which should appeal to those seeking
location for new Industrial, CONNER
oial and financial activities. One Of
the very first inquiries made by
those representing such interests, IS,
what is your tax rate?" and It is
incumbent upon every city that is
making an effort to expand and
progress, TO see to il that for every
dollar expended for public purposes
there is a dollar value received, and
thereby keep down to the lowest
POSSIBLE minimum consistent with
the real requirements of the commu-
nifty, the tax rate, as. unless such
tax rates are kept at the lowest pos
Hible point consistent with efficient
government, we are working at n
very great disadvantage in the ac-
quirement of additional capital and
Industrial expansion so essential to
the proper development of our State.
There are cities in Indiana with
There are cities in Indiana with a
tax rate of less than $500, while the
city of Indianapolis has tax rate
uf $3.50 on the hundred dollars.
The time is here when an honest
effort must be made upon the part
of public officials and those charged
with the responsibilities of public
affairs, to secure, If possible, greater
returns for the money expended for
public purposes. in place of. as is
far too often the case, an effort to
create new positions as reward for
nolitical henchmen whose principal
purpose is to get their hands into
the pockets of the public treasures,
and are prompted many times by
mercenary motives. The true
public servant will have as his motto
How great a service can 1 render
nv community" and will increase
his value to the public, if need BE-
through sacrifice.
Unless a community is blessed
with some extraordinary natural re-
sources to attract capital and in
dustrial developments, it is my
opinion that excessive tax rates will
be the means of percluding the pos
sibility of proper progress and legiti-
mate growth.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1927-01-01

that Indiana holds a unique and en-
viable position in this respect. as
our indebtedness is much less than
other States. comparing the wealth
of Indiana with such other States as
are properly comparable. This is
due in a large measure to the fact
that Indiana has become the leader
in Legislation, extending to taXpay-
ers some voice in the expenditure of
public funds. and 1t is gratifying TO
know that economists and students
of taxation generally are showing an
intense interest in this feature of
our law, with n view TO its adoption
in other States.
In a government such as ours,
Il is fundamental that you cannot
raise to n higher level its standard
than its source. The people them
selves are the standard and source
by which we must measure govern
mental efficiency. The people have
a right to and should demand that
there be employed in the adminIstra-
ton of all governmental affairs, the
same standards of efficiency in its
administration that is employed in
any well regulated and successful
private erprises-selecting only
such men for public administration
as are prompted by purity of pur-
pose and an earnest desire TO raise
to the highest possible level our
standards of governmental efficiency.

These cuts are prepared from set of tentative drawings submitted by Thomas, Grainger and Thomas, architects, Seattle, Wash. The fact that members of this firm are consulting architects for the Uni versity of Washington is evidence of their high standing. They are also the architects of the new Ju- neau school building.
 They estimate that the proposed Wrangell building can be built complete, of substantial frame con- struction, and possibly with stucco finish, for less than $50,000. This includes heat, plumbing, light and other electrical work.
 Below are some of the require ments which were submitted to the architect and which are embodied in the above drawings and esti- mate:
 Building to house the high school, the elementary school and the ungraded native school.
 No gymnasium or auditorium since the P.-T. A. have recently

material, with surfaces difficult to mar.
 Two stairs with exits, one at each end of the building, to insure safe escape of children in case of fire.
 Boiler room to be in the base ment, fireproofed, oil fuel. Stor- age tank for fuel buried in the ground, away from the building. Thermostatic control of heat in each room.
 Natural ventilating system.
 Basement excavation to be made large enough for boiler room only. Nothing but the heating plant to be located in the basement.
 This building will care for a maximum of about S70 pupils. (At the present rate of increase Wran- gell will have this number of pu- pills in 1933.) The structure Is de- signed so that it can be readily and efficiently converted to grade use only, in case unforeseen condi- tions bring a large population to wrangell in the future.

provided a building for that pur- pose.
 Grade class rooms to be 22x30. A room for coats and a closet for supplies to adjoin each room, un- der the direct control of the teach CT. All lighting from the left. No cross lighting. Window area to equal one-fourth of the floor area. Slate blackboards.
 Upper floor soundproofed. One of the high school rooms sound proofed so as to be usuable for or chestra rehearsals, etc., coats of high school pupils to be stored in individual lockers in the corridors. Electric program clock and a sec- ondaiy clock in each class room. Library adjoining study hall, glass partition, so that one teacher can supervise both.
 Toilets and washrooms for boys at the east end and for girls at the west end of the building. Separ- ate toilets and washrooms for the ungraded native school. All to be finished in hard. non-absorbent

REDMEN PROVIDE RELIEF
 VICTIMS FLORIDA DISASTER

Responding to numerous appeals for assistance, Robert T. Grove of Louisville, Ky, the Great Incoho- nee of the Improved Order of Red men, has issued instructions to the National Headquarters of the fra ternity at Philadelphia to imme- diately reopen a station at Miami, Florida, for the further relief of the victims of the tornado which swept that section of the country last September.
 The Improved Order of Redmen was one of a number of national organizations which went to the assistance, financial and otherwise, of the sufferers of last falls storm, and with the expenditure of much effort and considerable money, il was believed at the time that the more serious problems of the tor nado had been met. Reports re- ceived by the Great Incohonee, however, are to the effect that while much relief was extended yet the distress of many families did not develop until months after the catastrophe. It Is these latter groups which will now receive the attention of the representatives Of the Improved Order of Redmen A distributing office. for the Order will be re-opened at Miami during the next few days and new supplies of food, clothing, and other necessl- ties of life will be issued.

SHALL WRANGELL CONTINUE TO HAVE AN ACCREDITED
 HIGH SCHOOL?

The following message has been received from Lester D. Henderson, Commissioner of Education:
 q trust that Wrangell voters will indicate, on May 3rd, that they have the interest of their children at heart. It will be an absolute calamity if the bond issue fails, and to my mind will retard the towns development materially. Dr. Bol- ton, of the University of Washing ton, plans to attend the Institute, and will inspect the accredited high schools of Southeastern Alaska this fall. I predict, also, that if Wran- gell shows no inclination to pro vide a better high school plant, Dr. Bolton will remove the school from the accredited list. Failure to issue bonds can be interpreted only in one way so far as he is con- cerned. Incidentally, he may ask me some embarrassing questions relative to why I was willing to re- commend that a high school with such equipment and building faeili- ties be placed on the accredited list of the University of Washing ton"

WHO CAN VOTE AT
SPECIAL ELECTION7

In reply to the question Of who can vote at the speclal election next Tuesday Judge James Wiekersham Of Juneau answered as follows.
 Who can vote at tbis special elee= ton? Both Acts provide plainly. in Section 2, that the question of whether such bonds shall be issued shall be submitted to the qualified electors of said town Of Nrangell whose names appear on the last as= sessment roll oI said town for mu= nicipal taxation.
 First, only qualified electors can vote, and. second, only those qualified electors can vote whose names appear on Ihe last assess ment roll ol said town for muniei= pal taxation.
 The qualifications of voters at all elections in Alaska, including your special election on May 3rd, 1927, are fixed by the Act of Congress which was passed by Congress In March, 1927, Sjust prior to the ad- journment of that body. Herewith attached is a copy Of that Act. and the phrase qualified elector9 is therein defined in Section 2 as fol- lows:
 That all citizens Of the Uni
 ted States. 2I years Of age and
 oYeri who are actual and bona
 tide residents of Alaska, and who
 have been such residents eontin-
 uously for 30 days next preced-
 ing the election in the precinct
 In which they vote, and who are
 able to read and write the Eng
 Ilsh language as herein prescrib-
 ed and provided, and who are not
 barred from voting by any other
 provision of Jaw, shall be quail
 fled to vote at any of the cleo
 tions herein mentioned" "
 The qualifications as prescribed in Section [ are to be further quaIi- lied by the fast proYiso at the end of Section l Us follows.
 And provided further. That

 1, 1927.
 In brief, then, they are quail fled electors who are:
 l. Citizens Of the United States
 2. Ywenty-one years of age, or older.
 8. Actual and bona fide resi- dents of Alaska continuously dur ing the. entire year immediately preceding the election in the pre- einct.
 5, And who are able to read in the English language, the Constitu- tion of the United States and to write in the English language. 6. But this clause last above shall not apply to any citizen who has Ie- gally voted at the general election of November 1, 1924.
 In addition to the qualifications stated in the six preceding clauses no one shall be permitted to vote at your special bond election on May 3rd, 1927. whatever his general qualifications as a voter may be, except those qualified as above, whose names appear on the last assessment roll of said town for municipal taxation"
 This last above quoted qualifica- ton is fixed by Section of both Acts of Congress, both approved on February 3, 1927, and must not be violated if you wish to hold a legal | election and issue valid and legal bonds.

My CTS, a charming lady of San Fran cisco, who is president of the Pat chett Fruit Growers Association, of California, and who is sometimes referred to by her friends as the Grapefruit Queen. That Mrs. My CTS finds the North fascinating is indicated by the fact that this is her third voyage to Alaska.
