THIS IS THE ROUGH SKETCH of the far Pacific atomic explosion—possibly the |est of a hydrogen bombsent home to Lima, 0., by an unidentified man. His letter said the three>head4d mushroom following the explosion spread to about 20 miles wide and that smoke and flames shot |5 miles high. He said he watched fr0m?30.4 miles away and felt 180-degree heat from the explosion, and that a mile-wide island disappeared in fire. \( International SoundphotoJ

Tax Study Commission In Recommendations

(fcditorls note: This is the second of a series of articles outlining various phases of the recommendations of the Indiana tax study commission, which have been submitted to members of the 1953 legislature for action at its session beginning in January.) How can Indiana's tax-collecting methods be improved, and how can these methods be made more fair to all taxpayers? These are questions that have plagued the s|tate administration as well as taxpayers for years. Now, as a result of an exhaustive study made by the Indiana tax study commission under an act of the 1951 general assembly, a report on certain actions that could be taken will be recommended to the session of the legislature corrveiiipg next January. Foremost dn the commission’s report is a recommendation that no new. form of major tax be considered; that the gross income tax be retained as the principal source of state revenue, and that some changes in the method of computing and collecting taxes are desirable. \'' - ' ' ' Amopg changes recommended in the report is one that calls for payroll, deduction, or withholding, of gross income taxes by employers .for their employees. Regular payments be made by the employer direct to the state treasury. This plan of collection would be similar to the method' now being used in collecting federaf income taxes, and similar to the method now being, for employes who work in Indiana hut live outside the state. According to the commission report, authorities estimate thetie are

approximately 125.000 persons In Indiana who have been evading payment of the gross incoine tax. This represents a cash loss to the state of from |3 to >5 million a year. But!, the report hoptinues, such evasion also ‘creates at> intolerable situation among taxpayers." A bill to authorize withholding of taxes passed the house in 1949, but failed in the senate by Ohly one vote. Opponents of the pro<edure contended that withholding would be another stj-p toward dulling the “tax-consciousness” of employes and would place an additional accounting burden on employers. Those who favored the proposal based their stand on the increased revenues to be obtained from tales already due and the greater equity that would result from decreased tax evasion. However, the tax study commission believes that advantages to-bo gained by withholding’outWeigh thjel disadvantage and by a majority vote recommended that the gross income tax act be amended to provide for the withholding of tales on wages and salaries. Another recommendation of tha commission ■to increase revenues under; the present gross income tax was to improve services of the- department by adoption of a bipartisan method of employing personnel. The bi-partisan plan designed to promote efficiency by preventing wholesale changes of personnel with esach change of administration -alreidy is used by the state police and state board of accounts. Thejgross income tax, according to the! tax study commission, 'probably Imposes fewer inequities on individuals than other forms of tax that were studied.
