NEW TAX DRAFT CLINCHES LEVY ON GOLD KINGS Senate Leaders Submit Revision Measure, Intended to Support Revenue Better. SALES TO BE ONE SOURCE WASHINGTON, April 2.—New revenue legislation, designed to keep the Government's tax income up to began to take definite shape today when Secretary of Treasury Mellon received from Senate leaders a tentative draft of a tax revision measure. After a conference upon the proposed changes with' Secretary Mellon and Government Actuary Joseph McCoy, the main features of a proposed program were outlined by Senator Smoot of the Senate Finance Committee, to Include the following: Imposition of a straight sales tax of one-half of X cent upon practically all sales by manufacturers and merchants; repeal of the excess profits tax and a scaling down of higher surtaxes to a 33 per cent bracket. Senator Smoot asserted that the proposal for ths sales tax of one-half of 1 per cent will raise for the treasury $1,250,000,000. and possibly more. The aim of Senate leaders, Senator Smoot said, Is to readjust the tax laws •o thaf the wealthy will not find It possible to escape liability to the Government by Investing their funds In taxexempt securities. “By bringing the higher surtares down to 82 per cent, the rich will not have the temptation to place their billions in bonds that are not taxable," Senator Smoot said. “The Government must get Its share of the taxes from thli source. That Is not now possible through the retention of high surtax rates that dr've millionaires Into tax-exempt investments of all kinds, mainly Government bonds." General agreement was a-u u< -.si after the conference that not only must the excess profits tax be repealed, but that taxes upon scattered groups of socalled luxuries must be repealed. “This huge mistake of attempting to raise Government funds by taxing ice cream that the children buy must be remedied,” said Senator Smoot. ttintlM TAX PROVED FAILURE. “Placing taxes upon such luxuries, •which, in fact, are a real necessity for the great mass of the people. Is ridiculous, and such a method of raising .Revenue Is now shown to have tbeen a failure. The amount collected from these so-called miscellaneous luxury groups Is negligible and no machinery Is capable of fiiily colectlng such revenues.” Secretary Mellon was Informed that at the present stage of the Government's finances the sales tax is an adequate and certain means of providing for the decrease caused by other provisions to be repealed. Dodging the sales tax will be rendered virtually impossible under the plans discussed at the conference. No change In the normal Income tax returns on the small incomes is contem plated, it was declared. Nor is any revision to be made of the lower surtaxes upon incomes above $5,000 a year, according to present plans.

SHELBYVILLE, Ind., April 2.—Summarizing the extent of charity work In this city during the winter, the final report of Mayor Lee B. Hoop and Mrs. Morris H. Drake, county nurse, was filed today. One of the important recommendations made in the report is that a charity organization be formed here during the summer months. The report shows that total receipts of the charity department were $9*8.11 and the expend! tures $820.61, leaving a remainder of $127.60, which will b placed at the disposal of any charity organization that might be affected.

They state that in this work, as in all organized efforts, impostors will receive benefits despite all investigation and the mayor and county nurse believe tbe suffering alleviated will balance any Undeserving charity given.

GIVE TEACHERS CONSTITUTION State Tutors Convention Receives Draft o- Proposed Changes. Approximately two hundred delegates from the various units of the State Teachers’ Association met today in Caleb Mills Hall to pass on the proposed new constitution. Dean L. H. Smith of the school of education at Indiana University, presided at the meeting. A drat# of the proposed constitution ■was handed each delegate, and it was predicted that few, if any, changes would be made. The constitution is designed to simplify the conventions by reducing individual repreeentation to the basis of delegate representation. The adoption, however, would not prelude the annual gathering of teachers for instruction purposes in Indianapolis, but would place the actual business of the organization in the hands of chosen delegates. One of the important sections of the new constitution adopted was that In relation to the representative assembly. This section provides that, "the representative assembly shall consist of representatives from local branches, or from combinations of such, in no case to exceed one delegate for every sixty five members of such branch or combination of branches, and one delegate for each additional sixty-five members or portlofi thereof who are enrolled as members of the State Teachers’ Association; provided that any local branch or combination of local brnncies must have aixtyflve members before being entitled to a delegate; provided, further that each county shall be entitled to at least out delegate even If the total membership In all the combinations of units within its boundaries should not be equal to sixty-Uve members or a fraction thereof; and provided further that 50 per cent of the teachers of the county be.enrolled as members of the State Teachers’ Association." The constitution provides that dele gates to the representative assembly shall be elected annually at a meeting prior to the auual convention of the association. Representation in the assembly shall be determined on the basis of enrollment in the association of the preceding year, according to the records In the office of the secretary. The new constitution is to be effective after the annual meeting of 1931, provided it has been ratified by two-thirds of the local units as specified in the orig Inal resolution adopted by the Slate Teachers’ Association in it* annual business meeting of 1930. A change was also made in the convention plan of the association. In the fu ture convention* will be held at such date and place as may be determined by a majority vote of the members of the assembly present and voting. A movement was on foot some time ago to abolish the big annual convention, and to. hold In Its place several district meetings. This plan, however, was discarded. Adoption of anew constitution became necessary through the large growth of the teachers’ association, It. was stated at the convention today. When the constitution under which the association is now operating was adopted the association had only approximately two thousands members. The size of tho organization now makes operation under the old constitution extremely cumbersome.

SHANK BARES WAR RECORDS ‘Patriotism’ of Men in Public Eye Is Discussed. Goaded by Implied criticism es other candidates in Thomas C. Howe's announcement that he would drop politics to attend the Americanization meeting at the Gipsy Smith tabernacle tonight, Samuel Lewis Shank, in speeches last night, dipped briefly into war records. He spoke at 2225 East Washington street and 202 VS Audubon road. # “Don’t misunderstand 'me now,’’ the candidate said. “I heartily approve of patriotic meetings and I would enjoy hearing Judge Landis, but my meetings baVe been scheduled in advance and I must attend them. I hope every one goes to the big meeting.” “I see no reason why Professor Howe should compliment himself and Charlie Jewett over this meeting and turn up his 1 nose at Ed Robison and me," he said. I "With some people patriotism is something to be noisy about. The war is over and I am mighty glad of it. 1 j should have liked to forget about it in ■ the fight to restore comfortable normal j conditions but the sort of thing the pro- j fessor has pulled causes me to recall a few little matters.

‘‘Charlie Jewett, whose administration and whose policies the professor lias indorsed, was the right age to go to war but he had too many other important things to do. Dixon Bynum was the right age. but he had something else to do. Felix McWhirter and Alex Taggartwere the right age to get in, but they had to stay at home and see that the folks didn’t start any sinful penny ante games. “The proposed $5,900,000 war memorial Is backed by Charlie Jewett because he believes it will be a fitting memorial to his efforts ns mayor. If the soldiers who fought the war want this memorial I want them to have it, but if on the othei hand the thousands of ex-service men who are out of work would rather have a bonus I think by all means that they are the best judges of what they should have. ‘‘l can’| Be ® much claim to war glory by any one who stayed at home. A certain preacher once said, to me at a meeting during the war that the trials of those who kept the home fires burning and made sacrifices to aid the Government were deserving of reward the same as soldiers who bared their breasts to German bullets. Maybe I can’t get nice poetic thoughts, but that sort of talk seemed silly to me then a..d it does still. I wqs too old to get In the army* and I’ll say truthfully that I was kind of relieved that I was. I didn't yearn to bare my breast, nor any part of my bald head to German bullets. And I have all the gratitude possible to feel j for the fellows who( did It for me. "I he’ped the Liberty bond campaigns and made speeches, but I don’t feel that that entitled me to a front seat at the j Americanization meeting. It was long j ago promised that I would speak at 12X8 East Sixteenth street 1 tonight and as I believe the things I am going to discuss there have to do with the welfare of the , people the same as other patriotic sub- | Jects I am not ashamed to go.”
