More On Taxes Our Monday editorial carried a suggestion that we repeal six taxes — poll tax, personal property tax, sales tax, gross income tax on corporations, intangibles tax, and adjusted gross income tax. To raise that money previously raised by the six taxes repealed, we suggested a simple tax — 20% of the Federal income tax. We have heard two criticisms of this position: 1. It would be an unconstitutional delegation of state powers to the Federal government. 2. It would be unconstitutional because it could conceivably tax a man more than 100% of his income, thus being confiscatory. In answer to the first question, this is not, strictly speaking, a net income tax. It is a 20% transaction tax. The transaction taxed is the payment of the Federal income tax. This would vary, from year to year by income and by changes made in the law. But the power to tax, vested in our general assembly, would be properly carried out .... a uniform and equal rate of taxation. The fact that the transaction taxed is partly affected by Federal action (changes in the Federal income tax law and deductions) in no way changes the only factors over which the state legislature ever has control — the per cent of taxation, and the item taxed. There is no tax levied by which the state can be certain of all factors involved. Property varies in value, incomes increase and decrease, sales increase or decrease, deaths change in number, etc. Federal law can effect these transactions, too, without invalidating a tax on them. If part of a person’s income is affected by Federal action, it does not invalidate a tax on the income transaction. -In answer to the second question, any tax can conceivably be confiscatory, by adding it to- . gether with other taxes, since the highest rate of Federal income is 91% for report able income over $300,000. The key to this is that only that income which is more than $300,000 is taxed at 91%. Your overall rate, for income below that, and over that, is much, much less. Also, the Saturday Evening Post reports that in the year’s return they checked, no one in the United States paid that rate! So the question is purely academic, and if some individual felt himself overburdened, he would have to appeal the law, and prove to the courts that he deserved relief, in his own special case. This would not necessarily negate the law. Os course such a tax presents problems, but fewer problems than the six taxes which would be repealed. In addition, the proposed tax would be based on a more equitable, more fair factor. A tax that is based on a transaction based on income is fairer than the property, sales, poll, etc., considerations of the six taxes that would be repealed. Editorial written by Hgller

Basic Training For Scoufers Saturday All Cub Scout and Boy Scout leaders and workers, including den mothers, committeemen, cubmasters, scoutmasters, and assistants, are urged to attend the basic training course for scouters to be given at the First Baptist church educational unit at 1:30 p.m. Saturday. Dr. William Trubey, of Bluffton, will conduct the school, which is for the entire Limberlost district, including all units in Adams, Jay and Wells counties. The scouters and cubbers will be separated, and each will see three film strips to introduce scouting or cubbing to them, and show how a fine, coordinated program will help the boys develop along the lines suggested by the scout creeds. "Volunteers are the backbone of scouting, and by exchanging ideas and problems in these sessions with the district leadership training staff, many problems can be ironed out and corrected,” Bill Spice, district scouter, stated. “Also, many of the people are new to scouting, and desire some background information on conducting meetings, etc. All this will be provided.” ■
