MORTALITY OF
INFANTS SHOWN
BY STATISTICS
Ft. Wayne, Huntington and
Clarion Favorable Cities in
Which to Rear Children.
Mr. and Mrs. Indiana Parent, if you
■want your baby to hare the'best chance
possible to live to be 1 year old, move
to Ft. Wayne, Huntington or Marion.
Statistics complied today showing in
fant mortality rates in Indiana cities
show these municipalities to bave the
Siwest rates in the State.
East Chicago. Mishawaka. Gary and
Elwocd, respectively, offer the least
chances for infants in their first year,
according to the statistics.
Figures compiled for 1919 show the
death rate of Infants under 1 year of
age to be fifty-one out of each 3,000 in
Ft. Wayne: fifty-six out of each 1.000
in Huntington, with Marion ranking
third with a rate of fifty-seven out o t
each 1.000.
East Chicago, with its large foreigu
liement. and its large number of fac
tories, reported an infant death rate of
134 ■ out of each 1.000 babies under 1
lyear old.
Mishawaka, a suburb of South Bend,
and ono of the cleanest cities of the State,
having a minority of manufacturing in
stitutions and a small number of for
eigners, ranks second in cities with large
•nfant mortality figures.
Figures show that 116 out of eech 1.000
infants succumb in Mishawaka before
they reach the first anniversary of birth.
Gary, like East Chicago, with its nu
merous factories and large foreign pop-

the: third largest-infant death
rate? sHistics showing that 102 out of
each I,®o babies die in Gary before they
are 1 y|kr old.
Elwoou holds fourth honor in offering
small chances for a youngster to live
Out its first year.
According to the figures, 100 babies out
of each 1.000 born in Elwood, die before
they receive their first birthday present.
Flaunting before the eyes of dominant
landlords in Indianapolis who issue
edicts against the bringing of children
into apartment houses are the figures
which place this city in eighth place In
the list of cities la infant mortality
rates.
Regardless of the fact that Indianap
olis landlords take down the “Welcome”
sign when they see Mr. Stork approach
ing, only SO out of each 1,000 babies
here die in their first year.
This is in contrast to the belief of
many, that the congested residential dis
tricts and other factors entering into
the difficulties of rearing children would
tend to increase the infant death rate
in Indianapolis.
Evansville, the third city of the state,
does not stack with the best in offering
Infants a chance to get past that first
year.
Iu that city 05 out of each 3 000 babies
die yearly.
South Bend, adjacent to Mishawaka,
offers a rate of eiglity-si.v deaths out of
each 3.000 births, in contrast to the high
rate of her suburb.
Lafayette ties with Indianajoolis in her
mortality rate for babies.
The death rates for other Indiana cit
ies, as indicated by the statistics, are:

INDIANA DAILY TIMES, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 1920i
G. O. P. TAX HOGS
RAPPED BY SAHM
Democratic Committeeman Ex
, plodcs Their Theory.
The enormous burdens heaped upon
the taxpayers by the P.epublican rings
at the county courthouse nnd the city
hall were stressed by Albert Sahm, vice
chairman for the Marlon County Demo
cratic committee, in an address last night
at East and lowa streets.
“Higher valuations, they said, would
automatically produce lower rates; lower
rates would produce less taxes; the law
would make it impossible to collect more
money than had been collected at the
last previous collection,” Mr. Snhm said.
He recalled how many men doubted
the wisdom of wholesale changes In the
tax law and bow they had warned the
advocates of these changes that higher
appraisements ultimately would lead to)
a higher tax than ever, and pointed out
how the new appraisements had raised
In the minds of many the knowledge
and belief that Inequalities and injustice
existed more than ever, and bow those
who had felt aggrlved had gone iito
court and successfully defended their
contention, and how the courts hail
"knocked the new law out,” declaring
the arbitrary additional appraisements 11-
legalfi and how the so-called "tax eaters”
then resorted to g convening of the
Legislature.
“After weeks of bickering, cajoling, in
timidating ad bulldozing," said Mr.
Sabm, "the Legislature was forced" to say
in effect 'down with the law’ by passing
an amended bill which declared legal
what the courts had declared illegal.”
Mr. Sahra pointed out that the first rate
under the new law was fixed at $1.60 and
that notwithstanding great pretenses
were made concerning the unheard J
reduction this new rate footed up to
nearly two and one-half millions of do!
lars more than ever before.
“Notwithstanding all this," he said,
“the ‘lax eaters’ were not content and
had for the coming year fixed thcr rates
for this good city of ours at from $2.40
for all of Indianapolis In Center Tow::
ship up t 0.82.72 for Indianapolis in War
ren Township. /
“This rate would foot up a duplicate
of over sixteen million dollars—s33,ooo
per day— $7,000 per hour, or nearly six
million more than present duplicate.”
