OPPOSES RATES OF GALLOWAY'S MALT TAX BILL Attorney for Manufacturers Is Given Hearing by House Committee. Agreeing on the necessity of a general tax measure including all luxury taxes, the house ways and means committee today was "marking time" on the Galloway malt tax bill to provide free school books, awaiting outcome of the tax conference between Speaker Walter Myers and Lieutenant-Governor Ed Bush. The committee no sooner had expressed favor toward a malt tax, though hostile to the text book provision, than it heard a volunteer witness in M. J. Donnelly, attorney for the United Malt Syrup Manufacturers Association. Donnelly told the committee the association desires to co-operate rather than oppose an Indiana tax on malt, but urged the bill be drawn to withstand attacks on its constitutionality and that a "reasonable tax’’ be proposed so the state would have a chance to collect it. Attackes Galloway Rate* Asserting he has had experience with malt bills in twenty-one states, Donnelly attacked rates proposed in the Galloway bill as prohibitive and an Invitation to the bootlegging of malt by storekepeers. He suggested 10 per cent of the retail price of malt as a tax the state could hope to collect and estimated such a tax would return a revenue of $150,000 annually, placing the Indiana malt consumption at 750,000 pounds. Donnelly, declared the experience of other states has been that most of the revenue has been spent on unsuccessful enforcement where the tax was more than 10 per cent. He also declared the Galloway measure is a copy •of the Michigan malt law, which recently was held unconstitutional because of exemption given bakers. Figures to Be Presented Chairman Hardin S. Linke (Dcm., Bartholomew) accepted Donnelley’s offer .to present definite figures on malt laws in other states and a copy of th 6 LoGisfaha law which the attorney asserts is feasible. The apparent general hospitality of the committee to the free text book provision of the Galloway bill was expressed by Earl Crawford, Milton, Democratic caucus chairman. Crawford declared he could t see no wisdom In devising means of raising revenue to relic e the tax burden on property owners and at the same time, provide new expenditures. Liquor Bonds Are Set Bonds of Mrs. Charlotte Mueller, .75, alleged owner of a roadhouse at 2604 Madison avenue, where Sergeant Jolui Eisenhut and a police squad confiscated a quantity of liquor Wednesday night, and William Goza, an employe, were placed at SI,OOO each by Howard S.
