“A. It was not possible for the peace
conference to act with regard to the self
determination of any territories except
those which had belonged to the defeat
ed empires, but in the covenant of the
league it has *et up in article 11, a forum
to which all claims of self determination

TAX BOARD USURPS
POWER, SA US LA WYER
Exposure of the menace In the manner
in which the Indiana State Tax Board
is Interpreting the provisions of the
Tuthill-Kiper act in an attempt to set
aside a final finding of the Indiana State
Supreme Court and of Judge Linn Hay
of Court, room 3, in de daring
that the horizontal increase orders of
the State tax board of Aug. 23, 1910,
are void in Marlon County. w*a mad#
yesterday by Attorney Willtam H.
Thompson before Judge Hay.
Attorney Thompson launched an at
tack upon the actions of the ctate Legis
lature passing a law which, as inter
preted by the State tax board, virtually
sets aside a decree of the highest court
of tbe State.
The argument was oiade by Attorney
Thompson in supporting a petition of
the taxpayers of Washington Township,
asking that an injunction be issued re
straining County Treasurer Ralph
Lemcke from collecting the horizontal tax
Increases and preventing the tax board
from enforcing its so-called equalisation
orders as based on the Tuthill-Kiper act.
Prior to the argument of Mr. Thomp
son, counsel filed five additional suite In
behalf of the taxpayers of Frsnklln,
Warren, Wayne, Perry and Pike, seek
ing the same relief as asked by the
farmers of Washington Township.
The plaintiffs in tbe additional cascß

Hundreds of Wonderful
New Velvet Hats
JS? „?2.00
i Several tables will be
filled with these new hats
t . Thursday, and we have no
fj f \ doubt that by closing time
every one of them will
f have been claimed. Such
hats for $2.00 are so unusual these days that
they will sell as soon as women see them.
The hats are of silk velvet in the blacks,
navys anti \rowns, the autumn favors as well as
many combinations. New trimmings are used,
including ostrich, tassels, pins, etc. While they

latter board ordering the same horl
sontal increases as mad# by the State
Tax Board on Aug. 23, 1919, put on the
tax duplicates, amounted to the setting
sslde of flnsl finding of the Indiana State
Supreme Court.
‘‘Snch an action can reauit in noth
ing else but the entire usurpation of
the Judiciary,” aald Attorney Thompson.
"If the Tuthill-Kiper act can be ap
plied as # has bean done, then no Se
curity can b granted to a litigant in
court,” he contended.
Mr. Thompson emphasised the point
that If tbe Legislature can meet in spe
tl*l session and enact n law gives
the State Tax Board the power to <lo
something which the State Supreme
Court and Judge Hay had declared to
be Illegal, then final decrees of court can
be “wiped out and aet aside at will.”
This contention appeared to be one
of the strongest points of the argument
of Mr. Thompson and a point on which
he devoted much attention and cited
many court opinions.

Hart Schaffner 4 Marx guaranteed elothes for men, young men and boys (8 to 18).
It brings values that almost surpass belief —there are even silk plush
coats to sell at $19.75.
There is nothing in the market conditions to produce a sale like this.
But several otherwise shrewd makers allowed themselves to get a bit
panicky by reason of the recent hot -spell, and closed out a thousand
coats to us at a price that enables us to hold a sale that is wonderful.

Counsel contended that the decision ot
Judge Hay In declaring the horizontal
increases illegal and void is still in ef
fect and force because the State Supreme
Court upheld the finding of the lower
court
“They have placed the same old hori
sontal Increases on the taxpayers of Mari
on County without a single change, the
very same ,horizontal increases which
honor and the State Supreme Court
declared to be void,” stated Mr. Thomp
son te Judge Hay.
Another point on which Mr. Thompson
dwelt at length was that neither the tax
board or the county board of review
issued notices to the taxpayers that
hearings were to be held for the purpose
of Increasing assessments for 191# under
the guise of authority of the Tuthlll
Kiper aet.
The attorney went into detail concern
ing the alleged exceeaive harden placed
upon the taxpayers by virtu# of the hori
zontal Increases because the property
was assessed above the true cash value.

Many other points were advanced in
interest of the petition by Attorney
Thompson and Jndge Hay asked many
questions besides hearing the Tuthill-
Kiper act read in full.
Attorney Thompson argned for more
than two hours this morning and re
sumed speaking at 2 o'clock.
Deputy Attorney General U. S. Lssh
was to follow Mr. Thompson.
Defendant Ralph Lemcke, county treas
urer, took the stand and testified that
his office was open for the collection *f
taxes on the figures on toe tax dupli
cate* which now includes the horizontal
increases.
He stated that if the taxes were not
paid on time the property involved would
be advertised for sale in an effort to col
lock back taxes.
This admission of Leme'ie was one of
the chief contentions of the farmers that
unless Lemcke was restrained they would
be deprive! of their property without
due process of jaw. /
The hearing was scheduled to continue
throughout the day.
