CUT IN TAXABLE
STATE REALTY
VALUES SOUGHT
Beckett Demands Flat 20
Per Cent Slash; Asks
Levy Limit.

Bills providing for a fiat 20 per
cent reduction in all assessed real
estate and personal property valua-
tons and limiting the tax rate of all
governmental units to that of 1882,
will be introduced by Senator Joe
Rand Beckett at the special legisla-
tive session, he announced today.
Beckett, who is chairman of the
senate cooperative committee on
economy legislation, also is chief
promoter Of the Association for Tax
Justice.
The blanket reductions are said
to represent the views of that body,
which is opposed to any distribution
Of the tax burden to include incomes
OF intangibles.
Beckett pointed out that to make
mandatory a 20 per cent reduction
in assessed valuation, without rails
ing the rate, will mean that a 20 per
cent actual cut in taxes will be paid.
Asks Justice For All
Everybody knows that tangible
values have dropped even more
than 2 per cent on real estate and
personal property" Beckett ex-
planned.
THE people are entitled to this
reduction in their tax. They are
getting it in some communities, but
in others the assessors have not
seen the light. A horizontal, state
wide cut would mean justice for all.
The bill prohibiting an increase
in 1888 over the 1882 rate auto
matically would translate the valu-
alton cuts into a reduction of taxes
for everybody.
practically everywhere that the
assessors have announced real cuts
in valuation the tax spending off,
Gals have been crying:
We can't run the government
unless we increase the tax levy to
make up the difference in the valu-
alton
Cut Held Possible
"The fact remains that every per-
son in his business and private life
has been able to cut his expendi-
lures from 20 to so per cent or
more.
IF we can do it in business and
in the home we can do it in govern
ment
In the combination of these bills,
together with relief from mandatory
laws and levies which the special
session will und >ubtly grant. we
have a simple, workable plan to
bring reductions of approximately
S30,o00,000 in Indiana tax bills"
The session convenes Thursday
and arrangements are being made
by Lieutenant-Governor Edgar D.
Bush and Speaker Walter Myers to
hold conferences on all measures
Wednesday.

COUPON EXPOSE
CUTS BUSINESS
OF PHOTO FIRM
Studio Is Nearly Deserted
After Times BareS
Sales Deals.
BY JAMES a. CARYIN

In striking contrast to the
crowd of customers earlier in the
week, the waiting room Of the New
Stewart Studios, Inc, 80 Monument
Circle, practically was deserted
Friday.
Charges of misrepresentation on
the part of canvasSers selling cou-
pons, emitting holders to photo
graphic work at the studio, were
revealed Thursday by The Times
after investigation had been made
of complaints received by the
Better Business Bureau.
In addition to the activities Of
the statesmen, The Times found
that purchasers of coupons were
subjected to solicitation for pur-
chase of additional photographs.
The coupons offer a $3.50 photo
graph for so cents, but it was
found that no proofs are supplied
for the selection of the purchaser,
without additional charge of so
cents.
idCt was OAOMuNu
During the more than two-hour
wait of The Times representative
Thursday the studio was crowded by
never less than ten, and as many
as fifteen women and children.
To the question Friday as to
whether statesmen still were at
tempting to sell the coupons the
only reply of the manager was, Il
can't tell you"
The same reply was received when
it was asked if the studio would re-
fund money to coupon purchasers.
7. M Overley, manager of the
Better Business Bureau, has written
the studio pointing out the bureaus
belief that the coupons are in vio-
lation of the state Trading Stamp
act.
This provides that such instru-
ments must bear their redeemabIe
value.
Complaint Is Cited
In his letter, Overley cited a re-
cent complaint from woman who
had purchased three Of the coupons
for Is cents each.
THE representative stated to her
that she would get a mounted pic.
ture, but at your office she was told
there would be no mounting to the
coupon picture the, letter charges.
She states that you discredited
the coupon picture endeavoring to
get her to purchase others, and that
she was told that each person would
have to call for his picture person
ally.
One of the coupons was to be
used by her mother, who lives near
Chicago where such a proposition
would be absolutely impractical"
The letter contains a direct re-
quest for the refund of the pur-
chaser's money and also asks assur-
ance that causes for complaint will
be eliminated from the studios &C
Invites.

TIME has arrived for the eradi-
4 cation of the golf racketeer.
That does not apply to the mer-
chandising unrest that has caused
underselling here and there, or
bootlegging Of balls at cut prices,
but is aimed at parasites of the
links who are cashing in on golf
ers who still think all who play the
links game are athletic pleasure
seekers.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1932-07-02

II seems the golf links has attracted
more than Its share of unsuspecting per-
sons who think they can beat the fellow
who, Systematically, has figured the handi-
cap racket from more angles than one.
The fellow who approaches you at the
FIRST tee, in the dressing room and
wants game, then suggests playing for a
dime hole and begins figuring where the
strokes fan on the basis Of his fifteen or
be 30 or 100 shooter, or more
You might gather he does from his
handicap allowance, but handcaps are
supposed to be figured from a group Of
scores, presumably the hve best scores a
player has shot in the time immediately
preceding the figuring process Many
but even these are not the real parasites
VINO prey on the gullible links players
