The Port and Conservation Should Indiana have a deep-water port located in Porter county, about 15 minutes from the present Dunes State Park? Representatives of Chicago, Lake county, Cleveland, Louisville, and Pittsburgh, Pa., say no. These areas, which include the midwest port interests of the Great Lakes and Ohio river, plus the major steel interest areas of the nation, are opposed — not, of course, because of competition, but for “conservation” reasons. It doesn’t take a very smart man to see through their facade, and into the heart of their interests. The editor has himself walked the shorelines of Lake Michigan where the proposed port will be located. Frankly, it would make poor park land. Good park land would still be available closer to our present Dunes Park area. The new plants are perfectly compatible with park interests. But the desirability of park land at the Dunes location should not be overrated. First of all, Lake Michigan, even at its Southernmost tip, isn’t the best swimming area — our many natural and artificial lakes in northeastern Indiana are far better —for recreation, fishing, hunting, etc. Sand dunes are common along the great lakes, along the Eastern and Western coasts, and in the Far West, and we already have fine national parks preserving the Great Sand Dunes of Colorado, White Sands, of New Mexico, etc. Sen. R. Vance Hartke has worked odt a pretty reasonable schedule, as follows: 1, Indiana needs a deep water public port on Lake Michigan. 4 2. As much of the Indiana Dunes as possible should be saved for conservation and recreational purposes. 3. If the Bureau of the Budget endorses the Corps of Engineers’ report and shows the Burns Waterway is feasible, Sen. Hartke shall again introduce legislation to authorize construction. 4. As soon as possible, Sen. Hartke shall introduce legislation to save the dunes without interefring with orderly industrial development west of the NIPSCO power plant on the lakefront.

Taxes Chief Concern Os State Assembly

The long-expected battle of the taxes opened last week with the unveiling of a comprehensive Republican tax program, which included something for everyone. Two weeks earlier the Democratic leadership had announced its sweeping proposal to do away with the gross income and household property tax by substituting a net income tax. Both proposals meant revolutionary changes in Indiana’s tax structure. The Republican program proposed by Republican floor leader, Charles W. Edwards (Spencer) and Speaker of the House, Richard W. Guthrie (Indianapolis) placed its main reliance for new revenue on a 3%’ sales tax but also Included an abolition of the household levy. Both party programs would raise approximately S4OO million in new funds for the next biennium, and furnish local property tax relief. They were similar in one other respect—otherwise a country mile apart—the Republican package included, for the first time, a 4 mill corporation franchise tax for each SI.OO of net worth. Expected to raise S4O million in new revenue, this provision, like the Democrat net income tax, was aimed at plugging the loophole in the present gross income tax on out-of-state sales by Indiana industry. The only exemptions under the 3% sales tax would be for production items and raw materials going into manufacture, food (with limitations), and drugs. Each man, woman or child would receive up to 3% of S3OO or $9.00 in tax as a credit against his gross income tax for food purchases during the year. He would pay the full tax at the time of purchase receive a refund or credit against the gross tax at year’s end. As such, it would only apply to Indiana residents and not transients. Retailers would still pay the % of 1% on his gross receipts, but those dealing in business-type services — barbers, hotels, movies and other amusements — that are now paying the !%%■ rate would

Private Enterprise Speeds $40,000,000 Indiana Urban Redevelopment Project ■&**’’&*' /HR’ y**” » fa INDIANAPOLIS, IND. — A new landmark is rising from the ruins and rubble of this city’s once blighted downtown slums. Its name is James Witcomb Riley Center, and it is the most elaborate urban undertaking in the history of the Indiana capital.

The massive redevelopment project— conceived by Chicago architects Perkins & Will, and named after the famed Hoosier poet — will eventually bring new life to a 40-square-block area adjacent to the city’s business district. The twin 30-story residential skyscrapers now nearing completion give only a hint of the eventual scope of this $40,000, 000 effort to spur a revival of the "center city” as the economic and social mainspring of the community. The project, aside from its local significance, also is com-

No longer would a homeowner have to pay any gross income tax on the sale of his own home — it would be completely exempt. The present standard SI,OOO exemption remains the same. Edwards said the exact details had not yet been worked out nor had they been incorporated in a bill for presentation to the legislature. However, the total package would provide between 25 cents and 70 cents in property tax relief. Also to be incorporated would be a provision to limit present property tax rates to a 10% increase, and there would be enabling legislation permitting local communities to place a surtax on the gross income tax amounting to % of the present rates, after a referendum. This would mean local units could add % of 1% On the present 1%% tax and % of !%• on the %% to be used for local purposes, presumably local schools.

He said the total package was designed to raise $390 million more money in the next biennium. The sales tax, to go into effect this July 1, would net $375 million and the corporation franchise tax, to take effect January 1, 1964, S4O million. But there would be a loss of $25 milion in gross income tax revenue resulting from the changed rates and the exclusion of homes. The announcement came on the

eve of the meeting of the House Committee of the Whole scheduled for Friday and Saturday of last week to pass the budget under suspension of rules. Edwards said under their tax plan the local schools would receive an additional $46 million over their current distribution. Another SSO million would be appropriated for their first year of the biennium to tide the schools over until taxing units could take advantage of the surtax on the gross tax. However, observers were predicting that the Democrats had sufficient votes from Republicans to support as much as $126 million in additional funds for the schools. The Republican floor leader also said that $6 million of the $9 million cut in the Mental Health requests made by the Ways and Means committee earlier would be restored. But, “there will be no change in the amount recommended by the committee for the universities,” he said “Any increases here wil have to come through increased student fees,” he added. Observers also pointed out that the Republican plan could have clear sailing in the House where they have a 56-44 majority, but there was a strong likelihood that in the closely divided Senate (25 Republicans, 24 Democrats), a compromise would be forced, with the result a hybrid type tax could come from it They were saying the Republicans might accept an “adjusted” gross income tax (the tax’to apply only after certain exemptions and deductions) in

place of the Democrat net income tax. And the Democrats might reconcile themselves to the Republican sales tax if the rates were lowered and greeter exemptions for food provided. The only thing that was certain was that Indiana’s tax structure was in for major revision and would never be the same again. Both parties have, in effect, decided that the state needs at least 70% more General Fund revenue in the next biennium than the current one, or almost SIOO for every man, woman and child in the state. 20 Years Ago Today Feb. 18, 1943 — Twenty-eight of the 51 men sent to Toledo, 0., for physical examinations under selective service were accepted by the Army and eight by the Navy.
