‘JOKER’ REVEALED IN TAX MEASURE

Governor Expected to Veto Real Estate Bill, House Bill 141, providing for deduction of- appraised value of real •state from amount due on taxable contracts involving sale of such real estate, probably will be vetoed by Governor Jackson, it was learned today. Only the residue would be taxable, under the bill. The Senate passed the bill Friday. A motion for reconsideration was offered immeditely. It was found proponents of the bill had advised some Senators the State tax board favored the bill. Investigation showed the tax board against it. Conferences this morning between John .1. Brown of the tax board and Attorney General Arthur L. Gllliom were believed to be for the purpose of exposing the “joker” in the bill. It w r as said that if the bill was •igned, nearly all real estate contracts would be taken off the tax duplicates. CENTRALIZATION URGED Brig. Gen. Aultman Sees Separate Air Service as Error.
