Heller Vice President Ohas K. Holthouse Secretary-Treasurer Subscription Rates By Mail, In Adams and Adjoining Counties: One year, $10.00; Six months, $5.50; 3 months, $3.00. By Mail, beyond Adams and Adjoining Counties: One year, $1125; 6 months, $6.00; 3 months, $3.25. By Carrier, 35 cents per week. Single copies, 7 cents. The New Sales Tax James C. Courtney, commissioner of the Indiana department of state revenue, distributed copies of our two new tax laws, and every Republican that ever cried out for sales tax should be very happy. And every voter should remember Richard Ristine as the man who broke a tie vote, and imposed the sales tax on us. “High-tax Harold” Handley was a piker alongside Ristine. What will be taxed??? All retail sales. Including groceries. Hotel, Motel lodges, etc. (not rent for over one month.) Your electric bill, water bill; gas bill, telephone bill, telegraph bill, sewage bill, etc., — even if owned by a municipality; and the same for all state agencies, such as lodges in parks, or eating, bowling, etc., on IU campus. It will not tax sales to farmers for fee 4, seed, etc., used in farming. It will not tax nonreturnable wrapping materials, Returnable bottles, etc., or newspapers, or sales and purchases by organizations exempt from liability for gross income tax when used for the purpose for which exemptions are granted. The old store license law is repealed, and new licenses, costing $3.50 per store, is installed, and must be purchased each year by the preceding Dec. 15th. Also, every merchant is required, if requested by the purchaser, to give a receipt for the sales tax. Car dealers will collect the sales tax on the vehicles sold by them, and out-of-state purchases of automobiles will be caught at the license bureau, and subject to a similar use tax. “The state gross retail tax and the use tax shall be collected by the retail merchant, as agent for the state of Indiana, from the purchaser of property or services furnished in the transaction subject to said taxes as a separate added amount not part of the price or consideration.” The merchant will be guilty of theft from the state if caught not turning in the tax. In addition, the gross income tax was raised from li/o to 2% for individuals, and from 3/8 t 0%% for corporations. This should raise plenty of money for the state, but it will centainly raise it in an inequitable way, as we have been pointing out all during the session. A sales tax is 15 times as regressive or burdensome as the gross income tax, which was badly in need of adjustments anyway to help the merchant.

Highway Records, Reports Discussed COLUMBIA CITY, Ind. —County highway cost records and reports came under detailed discussion at I a one-day area road school held Wednesday, at the Ten-pin restaurant here. The meeting, one of series of nine being held throughout the state in April and May, was sponsored by the highway extension and research project at Purdue University. Attending were county highway supervisors, clerks and bookkeepers from Whitley, Elkhart, LaGrange, Steuben, Kosciusko, Noble, DeKalb, Allen, Wabash, Huntington, Wells and Adams counties. Jean Hittie, highway engineer from Purdue, and representatives from the state board of accounts led the discussions with county highway supervisors, clerks and bookkeepers on the installation and keeping of the new system of records and reports for county highway department required by 1961 statute. The legislation and the records and reports prescribed by the state board of accounts were designed to put the operation of county highway department on a more business-like basis. Total annual expenditures can be related to annual road programs, labor ' costs, equipment operation costs, and the cost per mile for construction and repair of county roads by surface type. A newly published HERPIC guide manual on records and reports for Indiana county highway departments was distributed to each county highway department representative at the area road school. The manual was compiled in cooperation with the state board of accounts and published as a HERPIC project. Using the guide manual as an outline, Hittie presented a detailed review of the procedures and entries for each of the 25 report forms included in the system of cost records. Hittie stressed that, “properly kept and used, the new system of cost records can be a tremendous asset to county commissioners in the formulation of programs and policy on county roads.”.
