Page Two THE HAMMOND TIMES Sunday. March 13. 1938 GEORGE KOCHIS CANDIDATE FOR jLAKE SHERIFF Present County Assessor Seeks Nomination on iiie Democratic Ticket CANDIDATE FOR LAKE SHERIFF George Kechis, Lake county as: xessor since 1931, today opened his campaign for nomination for sheriff at the primary. May 3. On the insistence of hundreds of his friends and various organizations of all types and religious groups, he was persuaded to run for sheriff, Kochis said.

Since Kochis took over the 1 office of the county assessor in 1031, he acted to equalize assess- ment-s throughout the county. He said he found that the tax burden of the home owners was heavy and that many paresis of property were omitted from the tax duplicates escaping taxation. By this action cut the taxes those who were paying too much and those who paid too little or no tax at all when they were liable to tax payments. His records show that more than one million dollars worth of omitted property was placed on the tux duplicates. Bring Relief to Property This, he explained was his first step to bring some relief to the over- taxpayer.

The quadrennial assessment of real estate was mado in 1932 at which time Kochis said he all township assessors to make a survey of every piece of property in Lake county. This survey, he added, revealed more than 300 pieces of property omitted from the tax duplicates in past years. I Kochis also found he said, that some of the assessments were irregular. When the 1932 valuations were completed by the township assessors, their records showed that some of the assessments were too high and he ordered a horizontal reduction of 20 per cent on all real estate In North and Calumet, towr.ships, he declared. In 1933 savings to the taxpayers made by Kochis amounted to 54,500,000, according to his figures.

On this basis, during his first four years in office, Mr. Kochis claims to have eaved Lake county taxpayers approximately $18,000,000. Passed In 1033 After the intangible tax law was passed in 1933 and lie was named intangible tax appraiser for the county, he carried out the administration of this office so as to bring In more than $65,000 in taxes to the county. Two years ago, Kochis said he was sought after by some of the county's outstanding leaders to run for sheriff, but refused because of the many assessing and taxation problems which lie was the midst of solving. Ha explained he knew that by remaining on the 'job he could further serve the taxpayers at a timo when a change of ad- ministration would prove costly to them.

Since he has announced his can- didacy, Kochis said he has received the indorsement of scores of clubs who are backing him not because of any particular party affiliation, but because of his record as a servant of the people and his declaration that a "public office is a public trust, Not Allied in Cliques Kochis declared he has not MRSt GILL DIES?

FASCISM WINS A I March I A Hitler's bloodless conquest of Austria wus pictured by America's former ambassador to Germany today as the preface to complete overthrow of all democracies in central Europe. The former ambassador, William E.

Dodd, left Germany because he objected vigorously to the Nazi regime, and today he condemned the "failure of democracies to CO' operate" to halt what he termed world invasions of Fascism. "So long as the democratic peoples insist on peace and oppose cooperation among themselves," observed Dodd, "the arbitrary performances in Austria, Spain and China are apt to spread further."
