First Anniversary The Decatur Optimist Club, Decatur’s youngest service club, celebrated its first birthday this morning, and despite the ten below zero weather, 20 members of the Fort Wayne South Side club showed up for the party at 7 a.m. The Fort Wayne club sponsored the Decatur group a year ago, and brought a cake with a candle along to make the birthday party official. Victor Kern, president of the club, saluted the Decatur organization for its achievements during the first year. A year ago the new service club started with 45 members, although they had been discouraged by others in service clubs, who felt the city was already over-organized. They have now grown to 49 in numbers, despite the fact that two members have moved from town. ■ Ralph Habegger, of Habegger-Schafer, was the charter president, and Decatur pharmacist Dan Freeby, of Holthouse Drug Co., is the present presiding officer. The club will vote next week on its biggest project to date — sponsorship of a wildcat baseball league here in Decatur to give those who want a chance to play baseball in every game a league in which to play during the day. Last April the group organized a kite-flying contest, and in November youth appreciation week was sponsored at the two local high schools. Recently the Decatur club was one of two in district five, the entire state of Indiana, to take part in the friendship gavel exchange between some 120 clubs of the more than 2,000 clubs in Canada and the U.S. The Decatur club received the gavel from Delphos, passed it to Fort Wayne South Side, who in turn forwarded it to Chicago, 111. A total of 120 clubs in the 37 districts of the country will get the friendship gavel this year. The Decatur •club, meeting each Thursday morning at 7 a.m. at the Fairway restaurant, and focusing its attention on the youth of the community, is helping to meet the challenge of the space age in our city life in Decatur. We salute the club and its 49 members on its first anniversary!

Democrats Propose A Net Income Tax

INDIANAPOLIS (UPD—Democratic leaders in the Indiana Legislature today unveiled a plan to meet the needs ror raising more revenue by replacing the gross income tax with a net income tax. Governor Welsh has encouraged the lawmakers in the 1963 Legislature to adopt a biennial budget for 1963-65 of $1.6 billion, which would require about S4OO million more revenue than is anticipated from present taxes. The Democratic plan was outlined by RusseU W. Smith, LaPorte, former Indiana Appellate Court judge who was assigned the job of getting the bill ready for introduction in the House, perhaps Friday. The plan also includes a franchise tax, a motor vehicle tax, a property tax exemption and repeal of hte intangibles, poll and household goods taxes. The net income tax would be the chief revenue source, just as the gross income tax now is and has been since 1933. It would be patterned after one now in effect in New York State. The franchise tax, Smith said, is on “the right to do business in the state.” This would hit out-of-state firms doing business in Indiana, while the net income tax would include local corporations which now escape certain gross income tax liabilities on sales made in interstate commerce. The motor vehicle'tax would be similar to one enacted two years ago and declared unconstitutional by the Indiana Supreme Court. Smith said the proposal has been

Pension Recipients Must Return Cards Q “ ' Thousands of Indiana pension recipients were reminded today that veterans or dependents who do not return their VA pension income questionnaires by January 31 will not receive any further checks and may owe the government money. It was pointed out today by S. J. Bochiccio, manager of the Indianapolis regional office of the veterans 1 administration, that a warning printed on the questionnaire states that failure to return the card by January 31, 1963, will result in discontinuance of payment and that all pensions received in 1962 may have to be paid back. Since pension is paid only to those veterans, their widows, dependent parents or minor children whose incomes are below certain limits, the VA is required by law to receive an income each year to justify the payments. Bochiccio asked that all blanks on the card be filled in wherever applicable and that the card be signed before it is returned to the veterans’ administration. Os the 44,000 questionnaires sent to Indiana pensioners, 15,000 have failed to return them. Os those received, it has been necessary to return 1,250 because they

revised to “eliminate the bugs” which caused the 1961 act to be declared unconstitutional. . All owners of homes would be given a $2,000 exemption on property taxes and the present SI,OOO exemption for mortgages and SI,OOO exemption for elderly persons would be nullified. Household goods taxes would be outlawed as a separate entity in the local tax structure by combining them with real estate taxes. Another point in the Democratic plan involved agricultural products. Smith said the plan calls for designation of grain or other agricultural products grown and stored on a farmer’s premises as part of the realty and not taxable for net income purposes until removed from the premises.
