PLEA MADE FOR SCHOOLS The HartaeTl bin to repeal the law which exempts school and fraternity property from taxation was advanced to third reading in the Tndtana state senate Tuesday as that body rejected a motion to postpone the measure indefinitely, by a vote ct 29 to 15. Tbe bin was brought up for second steading late Monday and the motion was made by Senator Frank S. Southworth (Reix, Marshall and St.

Joseph). "We have heard a lot about taxes since we have been here. Senator Lee J. Hartzell Allen and Noble), president pro tempore and author of the bill. said.

nd if this measure is passed SIO.OOO.OOO wortn of property in Allen county alone will be placed on the tax duplicates. As a member of several fraternities. 1 will have to help pay those taxes sod it is not fair they should be excluded. Hemes aad Farms Tsxed. We tax men snd women for their hemes snd farmers for their farms and the taxes should be passed around equally.

We've get to do it now if we are going to do anything. The bOl has been gone over by the best tax experts in the state. In twenty one di.yj we go home, and I say that if we dont pass this measure we may as well go home now. What are we going to show them for our sixty one days of alleged work If we dont pass this measure? This tax situation has gone far enough to be intolerant." Opposition to the taxing of school property was voiced by Senator Herbert V. Tormohlen (Rep, Jay and Randolph), who said "everything in tbe bill is agreeable except the taxing of school property.

Our budget calls for several million dollars for the upkeep of Purdue and Indiana universities, but this bill places every one of our sectarian schools on the tax duplicates. Asset to State. "The sectarian schools are an asset to our state. Wabash College lent money on twenty four lots in Crsw fordsvflle and now It has this property on its hands and is unable to get rid of it. and if it has to pay taxes on the lots it will be unfair.

This bill is going to cripple every one of our sectarian schools and we're going to do the taxpayers some good if we protect our sectarian schools. In tbe tax proposition we are going to have to separate the sheep from the goats, and these college properties should be exempt." "Tbe taxes on schools as provided in this bill would get back to tbe fathers of the children attending the schools." Senator Earl J. Rowley (Rep, Laporte and Starke) said. Te Save Scottish Cathedral. A futile effort to save the Scottish Rite Cathedral in Indianapolis from being taxed waa made by Senator J.

Clyde Hoffman (Rep, Marlon) who proposed an amendment to tbe bill which would exclude all lodge property owned by the organizations. An effort to save fraternity and sorority houses from taxation also waa made by Senator William B. Hoadley Brown. Greene and Monroe), but that amendment! also waa lost. Senator Hoffman also sought to make it become effective January 1.

1934. but a compromise was effected whereby tbe emergency clause waa stricken out. As a result, it would, if finally enacted, make fraternal property assessable March 1, 1932. tbe taxes collectible in 1933. The motion to kill the fraternal property measure had been made late Monday evening by Senator Frank S.

Southworth! Marshall and St. Joseph), but the senate had adjourned before the vote was taken on the measure, Baffnasa Explains. Senator Hoffman said the Scottish Rite Cathedral would not have been built had there been any reason to believe it would not hsve been exempt from tax. The building had been built on an expensive scale so it would conform to the Indiana World War Memorial Plaza and the only reason so much money had been spent was because fraternal property bad never been taxedi Senators Hoadley said there Is SI, 000.000 I worth of property in Bloomington owned by fraternities and sororities which would become taxable by the bill but the people of Bloomington do not wish the property taxed, aa the "money would come out of the pockets of the parents of the students hi the university." 39, AU Republicans, Who Voted Agains Bonus Bill WASHINGTON.

OPPOSITION IN DEBATE The Drake Rowley tax limitation bill, characterized by some as an attempt "to lift ourseis by our own bootstraps.

was advanced to second reading in the Indiana state senate Monday afternoon after a short debate in which criticism against the proposal was made by two senators. The measure, which would place a limit of $1.75 on tbe tax levy on property in the various units of the state for local government expenses, has been objected to by some persons on the ground that it would result in an adverse raising of property valuations and might eventually force some, of the counties or units of low valuations to borrow money to run their governments. The senate advanced the bin in spite of the fact that a majority of the finance committee had recommended its indefinite postponement. A minority report for passage was accepted by a vote of 23 to 17. Tried la Ohio.

Principal opposition to the bill came from Senators C. Oliver Holmes (Rep, Lake and James J. Nejdl Lake). Senator Holmes based his opposition to the bill on the fact that such legislation has been tried on Ohio. "This is another delightful illustration of trying to lift ourselves by our bootstraps." he said.

"If you fix a top levy you automatically begin to raise valuations and we will undo in a few minutes work which has taken years to do throughout the state." At point he cited the experience of and added that "Mayor John W. McCarty can tell you all about how to go about reducing taxes." "Ohio went to the trouble of fixing a maximum levy on property a few years ago." he within two years there were great lobbies trying to find ways to evade tbe constitutional amendment and they have snot it so full of boles it looks like an old fashioned colander. It is no royal road to romance this solution Ui the tax problem, and I say now again that all taxation tends to equal izt; itself." Silly. Says Nejdl. Senator Nejdl termed the bill "the i.iliiest thing I ever have heard "Has there been any Mosea come forward to lead us with a bill to lower taxes and solve tbe tax question?" ht asked.

"When jrou aay tbe rate can not be more than $1.75 you are taking in too much territory because the people wish to govern themselves. "Let the farmer forget his automo til and put more time in on his farm and he wont oe suffering ao much. Principal arguments for the bill csme from Senators Earl Rowley (Rep, Laporte and Starke) and Addison Drake (Dem, Vigo and Sullivan co authors of the bill. They saio the bill had been considered by the llnance committee, referred to tbe joint inter house tax committee, con tldered by the committee of the whole and finally considered again by the finance committee.
