Advertising Rates made known on Application. National Adver Representative THE SALES TAX: Those who at first thought the one per cent sales tax in Indiana was excessive are now concluding that they have been rather lucky. Other states have enacted similar , laws providing a tax of from two to five cents. Illinois has just; adopted a three per cent sales tax.!. During the time that the sales i tax law was being argued pro and eon in the Indiana assembly, border communities along the Illinois state line protested that business there would be wrecked with a sales tax law in Indiana. But, the law was enacted, providing for a one per cent tax on gross incomes and sales. Now. the Illinois legislature has passed a similar law but the tax is three per cent. Instead ot the Indiana sales tax law sending business to Illinois, it is pointed out that the Illinois sale tax law will send business into Indiana because the tax here is two per cent lower than in Illinois. The protests of manufacturers against the sales and-Income tax i law in Indiana was answered by ; the contents of the law itself, which exempts the gross income derived from sources outside the state. The provision enables manufacturers to negotiate on a price par with competitors in .states that do not have the sales tax. although there will be many states which adopt that plan this year. That provision pacified the manufacturers who are getting strongly behind the program. Enough data was presented during the session of the state legislature to show that the broadening of the tax base was necessary in Indiana. The same situation exists in Illinois and the same remedy has been applied. The very fact Uns was done is taken as proof that the Indiana state administration leadership was not wrong. Since the adoption of the three per cent lax in Illinois there have Tieen more expressions of approval Tor the tax program of the Indiana •state administration. By adhering closely to a strict economy pro-

gram the Indiana leadership will bo able to get by on a one per cent tax whereas other states are going to two, three and even higher percentages. This is being cited as an example that the Indiana adminisitratiou is truly operating economically. Malt sirup and wort will be subjust to excise taxes, but the home brewer is not put out of business Iby the Indiana liquor control act. i Manufacturers of malt sirup or ’ wort will pay an annual license , fee of $25. Retailers of malt and I wort will pay a fee of $5 a year. Malt sirup and malt extract will be taxed 2 cents a pound and wort 3 cents a gallon. Any of these malt products used for medicinal or laboratory purposes, bakery or for use in malted milk, or to be exported out of the state will not bo taxed. All malt sirup or wort revenue will be turned into the general fund of the state. — Indianapolis Star. The First State Bank ot this city announces it will absorb the intangible tax on deposits there, certainly a fine public spirit during days like these and one that should further create confidence in that j institution, which has again and jagain proven its solidity and safety. I Your deposit need not be turned in for taxes and you will not be required to pay the state as this will be taken care of by the bank. Such steps as these will help to bring back good times quicker than any! thing else, for under the new tax-I iug system, the levy on real estate , will be low and yet sufficient funds will be secured to keep the ship of 1 state moving. Among other things being done towards ending the depression, the president is consolidating the several government agricultural credit agencies, saving two million a year and getting rid of a lot of red tape. And next will come the railroads, i where salaries will be reduced, I capital cut and other things arranged that a few weeks ago looked impossible. President Roosevelt is doing things. The Unemployed Relief Association is again assisting those w ho desire to grow gardens by securing for them the free use of lots within the city ami already more than fifty have been offered. They need many more and those who have lots that are not being used, can do a good turn by notifying Will Linn. Dr. Mangold or Trustee Noll, the committee in charge. Easter is near and you will need a new hat. suit and walking cane, shoes, a dress, a spring coat or something that entitles you to the attention of thn»e you meet at that glad spring time season. Decatur merchants offer you wonderful bargains this year and you can be well dressed at little cost. Watch the advertisements in this paper. The banking department daily Is modifying banking restrictions and the conditions generally are assum ing a normal standard that exceeds any thing for the past two years. Thej-e is a feeling of confidence that Is growing steadily. April will soon be here and then the real spring activities start. March has been a little rough but there is still plenty of time for the sowing of crops. o I Household Scrapbook | —By— ROBERTA LEE Linen Shades Tim efficient housewife will clean all the shades in the spring.
