NEW THEATER TAX PROPOSED IN HOUSE BILL Favorable Report Heard on Oleomargarine Stamp Levy Proposal. Legislation calculated to raise revenue of $4,000,000 annually occupied the attention of the house today as Representative John M. Cantley (Dem., Case) introduced a motion picture theater license bill and the house agriculture committee recommended for passage a stamp tax on oleomargarine. The Cantley measure provides for payment monthly of 10 per cent on total admissions to the state auditor, and outlines a sliding scale of penalties for failure to pay the license or submission of a fraudulent report. The auditor claims the measure would raise approximately $2,500,000 a year. Stamp Tax Favored The agriculture committee reported favorably the bill of Representative Jesse P. Curry (Dem., Ripley and Switzerland), which would impose a stamp tax of 5 cents a pound on oleomaragine, thus raising revenue •sttmated at $1,500,000 annually. Pwasent taxation on oleomaragine includes a federal tax of 10 cents a pound on colored, which only is about 3 per cent of the amount annually used. Roth Houses Adjourn The remaining ninety-seven per cent is taxed at only one-quarter of a cent a pound. Figures for the first eleven months of 1330 place the annual consumption last year at approximately thirty million pounds. Both houses adjourned at noon today, the house to reconvene Monday afternoon at 2 and the Senate Monday morning at 11.
