Inventors Still Ensnared by
Perpetual Motion

The golden phantasy Of per
petual motion, which has lured
men through the ages, calls with
siren voice to the inventive genius
Of modern America.
Efforts to achieve perpetual mo-
ton by mechanical means persist
in the face of ridicule offered By
science and intense ScepticiSm
supplied by the United States
Patent Office.
The quest for "perpetuum mo-
bile" Is SO widespread that the
form letter is mailed out from
day to day and week to week
The Washington times., 1932-11-11

and so persistent that many ap.
plications for perpetual motion
machines are disguised in an ef.
fort to avoid the Patent Office
demand for a practical demon
stration.
In a book published in London
in 1870, Henry Dircks declared
that the first design for a per.
petual motion machine was ere.
ated during the Thirteenth cen.
tury by the Frenchman Wilars de
Honecort. Later researches have
shown, however, that the genesis
Of this effort is shrouded in the

OF real estate apparently of equal
value are sold for widely varying
prices. Since property is not being
sold in the process of assessing, but
merely being compared for the pur-
pose Of distributing the tax burdens,
it is obvious that to observe the rule
OF equity properties of apparent
equal worth should be valued the
same.
1.-THE public is a hard task master
and will test your patience. 1t will
be the wise policy to exercise pa
tience. Most taxpayers are in dis
treSs financially, and are not always
willing to listen to reason.
Some of these same taxpayers
are responsible for our present tax
burdens. Public expenditures have
all been brought about through
their own demands and agencies,
and likewise will have to be reduced
by that same process.
1t is a wise policy to listen to adj
vice and be considerate, but it is
also well to be cautious how we use
it. 1t is well to remember that the

ing valuations is fixed by and rests

OPPOSITION TO
SLASH IN FARM
VALUES limited
Tax Board Letter Sent to
Assessors Reveals Firm
Attitude.

That the state tax board will fight
any great reduction in farm land
assessments to be made March l,
is indicated in a letter to township
assessors sent out by Chairman
James E. Showalter of the board.
The letter sets out that it is well
to be patient with the poor taxpay-
ers, listen to their advice but not
heed it. 1t also says the entire
problem is to cut governmental
costs, which puts the board behind
the anti-income tax movement now
being fostered in the state by those
whose wealth lies elsewhere than in
land.
Letter Text Cited
Text of the Showalter letter fol-
lows:
THE task of the township asses
sors of Indiana has never been more
serious to face than it is this year.
Taxpayers are clamoring for a re-
duction in taxes, and are hoping
and expecting to get it through the
reduction of valuations of their
property.
THE only way to reduce taxes is
to reduce public expenditures. The
valuing or assessing of property is
only done for the purpose Of meas
uring each taxpayers portion of the
cost of local and state government.
In taxation the first and fore
most requisite of our Constitution is
equity. In the application of this
principle in taxation it is necessary
to value all taxable property. both
real and personal, at its full true
cash value.
Values Are Upset
The problem is hard this year be-
cause the worldwide depression
