In what is expected to be one of the largest public hearings in the history of the state legislature, retailers will seek relief from the one per cent gross income tax rate through passage of a bill pending before the senate finance committee. According to spokesmen for the Indiana l*’m bureau, about ten thousand farmers will be present to oppose the measure. Merchant delegations from all over the state were planning to be present at the hearing on the proposal to reduce the gross income tax rate on retailers to one half of one per cent and to reduce the exemption from the present $3,000 figure to $1.0(10. Many merchants have declared they will strike if the rate ia not reduced and some seek even further reduction to one quarter of one percent. Farmers, on the other hand, maintain that reduction of the gross income rate tor retailers will place a correspondingly heavy burden on property, and oppose the reduction on this ground. Principal speakers for the farmers will be Hassil Schenck, farm bureau president, and Anson Thomas, head of the bureaus legislative and tax departments.
