GOODRICH TAX
LAW HITS EVERY
PART OF STATE
Not One County Escapes
orbitant Horizontal
creases in Taxation.
ONLY HOPE IN BALLOT
Reports from various parts of the
State show that not a single county Is
escaping the exorbitant, increases in tax
ation resulting from the Goodrich tax
law and that if the State gets four years
of government under Warren T. McCray
the same state of affairs may be expect
ed to continue.
Where taxing used to be incidental, it
is now growing into a serious menace,
citizens of many counties say, for the
[new tax law works like a separator—lt
succeeds admirably in separating the
taxpayer from his money.
It gets the “cream,” but the taxpayer
never gets any “butter" or other product
manufactured from it.
Apparently there is no remedy in sight
but out of the “centralized”
crowd from the Statehouse and the return
of a safe and sane law such as is advo
cated by Dr. Carlton B. McCulloch.
FILtOV COUNTY
CASE SAMPLE.
Up in Fulton County lives John B. Apt,
who owns a farm of 6lxty acres.
In 1919 he paid 562.21 tax on this land,
exclusive of personal.
On the same land in 1920 he paid $71.60,
but In 1921 he will have to pay $114.44 —
almost double.
Take another case, J. V. Pownall of
the same county paid $176.10 in 1919.
In 1920 he paid $253.30 and iu 1921 he
will have to pay $404.85.
It is the small property owner who is
Aielng made the “goat.”
I The claims of the Republicans that
[only the corporations are “hard hit” is
Ixiot true and the man who thinks it is
pvill have his mind disabused of the fact
when he goes to pay his taxes.
In Hartford City the valuation of tax
ables was increased to $5,352,655 from
$2,058,160, this exclusive of corporation
taxables, which shows that the “small”
taxpayer is the one who is carrying the
burden in the heat of the day.
HEAVY INCREASE IX
BLACKFORD COUNTY.
In Blackford County the Goodrich-Mc-
Cray system is piling things up.
Under a Democratic administration in
this county in 1919 the total taxes paid
were $378,906.74. Under the 1920 Good
rich law, the total valuation was $30,130,-
405.
The total to be paid in 1921 is figured
at $554,591.63.
_ The Increase in round numbers is
In Orange County some townships pay
a double rate.
Persons in one township paying on
SI,OOO worth of property next year will
pay S2S, in comparison to $13.50 paid
the year before.
In another township in the same coun
ty the rate figured $12.70 last year and
$21.40 next year on the SI,OOO.
Jay County taxpayers are advised to go
to the county treasurer and find out how
much tax increase they will hare to pay
—then go and rote.
Adam Baidanff who lives in that
county, owns 131 acres of land.
The valuation for taxing purposes In
1918 was $5,870 and on which he paid
$170.25.
In 1921 the valuation of this same land
will be $17,795 and he will have to pay
$239.88 taxes.
The same proportion holds good over
the county.
HIGH COST
OF MISKCRE.
In Henry County the high cost of
Republican misrule is graphically Illus
trated.
"Within four years it has cost this
county an increase of $400,000.
The assessed valuation of real estate
in Newcastle was $4,692,420 in 1917.
In 1920 the valuation was raised to
$13,310,550.
The ttix amount In these two periods
are $!53.C62.41 in 1317 and $541,624.5d to
be paid next year.
In White County the Monticello Herald,
a Republican paper, is supporting the
Goodrich-McCray regime.
The White County Democrat calls at
tention to the fact that in 1919 under
the old taxing law the Herald was as
sessed $1,300 and the Democrat $1,500.
Under the new tax law in 1920 the as
sessments were: Herald, $2,750; Demo
crat. SB,OOO.
For the 1921 assessment the figures
show the Herald is assessed at SO,OOO
and the Democrat at SB,OOO.
The Democrat calls attention to the
ifaet that the Herald made quite a Jump
[srom 32,750 to $6,000 and intimates that
fcthij assessment may be made even
■Ligher.
ft From every point in the State comes
Ireports of the exorbitant assessments
Kinder the Goodrich law.
8 Tax conditions are in a tangle and
■here seems to be no hope of untangling
Ihem under the present law. ■

AN ORGANIZATION is
only as big as its per
sonnel, and the person
nel reflects the bigness and
vision of the men who direct it.
The Standard Oil Company
(Indiana) has been able to
attract to its service men of
ability, high ideals, and broad
vision, because of its policy of
selecting its executives from
those who have come up
through the ranks.
The men who.are today the directing
heads of the organization hold their
position by reason of their thorough
knowledge of the oil business, and be
cause they have shown a profound un
derstanding of our economic structure.
The Standard Oil Company (Indiana)
foresaw the development of the auto
mobile engine, ana realizing the tre
mendous increase in the demand for
gasoline which would result, prepared
in advance to meet the needs of the
people.
Ten years ago the average yield of
gasoline from the crude produced in
the United States was only eleven per
cent. Today the average yield for the
country is well over twenty-six percent.
This increase is in large measure due
to the foresight of the Standard Oil
Company (Indiana), and the advanced
work done by the chemists and refining
technicians in the Company’s service.
The result of this vastly increased
yield of gasoline has been the more
rapid development of all types of auto
motive machinery, which, in turn, has
enabled the farmers of America to
increase their output of foodstuffs in
the face of an acute shortage of agri
cultural labor.
The Standard Oil Company (Indiana)
is still working well into the future,
and the men who are directing the
destinies of the Company confidently
expect to meet the needs of tomorrow
as completely as they are meeting the
needs of today, and to give a credit
able accounting of their trusteeship to
the 5124 stockholders, to the 23,000
employees, and to the public at large.
