SENATE FIGHT TO FLARE ON INCOME TAX Democrats Are Expected to Battle Lobby Urging Corporate Defeat. G. 0. P. VICTORY IS SEEN Amendments to Be Drafted Into House's Personal Levy Measure. Amendments lowering exemptions, to bring in mou small income tax payers, arc expected to be drafted into the house personal income tax bill upon completion of the bill’s consideration in the senate committee of the whole today. The move is backed by the Republican majority and has some Democratic support. A strictly G. O. P. move will be to recommend that the corporate income tax bill, passed by the house, be killed. The personal income tax bill’s changes are based on the Indiana tax survey commission’s recommendations ard will place exemptions on the smaller scale upon which they were tJksed when the measure was introduced originally in the house, according to Republican leaders. To Be Lulled “Deductions’* Present exemptions in the personal income tax bill are $1,500 for single and $3,500 for married persons. When and if amended, the bill will be changed to exempt incomes under SI,OOO and $2,000. respectively, it was announced. These will not be cabled exemptions, but “deductions.” Senator Walter S. Chambers • Deni., Hancock. Henry and Madison), minority floor leader, said he had agreed to the amendments on the personal income tax. The Democrats, however, are expected to fight for the corporate income tax bill, which is being urged for defeat by one of the outstanding industrial lobbies in the history of Hoosicr legislatures. The bill, as passed by the house and now ready for consideration in the senate, would levy a 3 per cent income on net coi norate revenues. Harlzcll Prcd’cis Defeat Senator Lee J. Hartzcll (Rep., Allen and Noble), G. O. P. floor leader, who presided over the committee of the whole, confidently predicted the corporate bill’s defeat. Following conferences by both parties, the committee of the whole convened and the entire morning spent in reading the income tax bill which is to be amended by substitution of an entirely different measure. Fiftecrt pages remained to be read when the senate recessed until 2 p. m. Hartzel said the reason for reading the measure was to show' the galleries that there was nothing to conceal and that the Democrats had insisted on it. Other senate taxation plans being considered as possible alternatives to an income tax or as companion measures to w ipe all state tax from the property levy, include a plan of increased license fees for motor vehicles which backers predict will raise $19,000,000. This they say would leave $4,000,000 for local distribution after all state governmental expense had been paid. New Auo Scale Proposed Another bill w ith Republican support would take all license fees from the state highway department, and put them into the general fund. Favorable reports on both measures were adopted today. The new schedule of fees proposed for automobile licensing would be 40 cents per 100 pounds of weight for all pleasure vehicles, $lO a seat for motor busses, $25 minimum for all commercial cars up to 2,500 pounds in weight. 60 cents per 100 pounds from 2.500 to 3,000. 80 cents per 100 pounds from 3,000 to 4,000, $1 per 100 pounds from 4.000 to 5.000, and $1.50 per 100 pounds from 5,000 pounds upward. „ CHICAGO ‘LITTLE GIRL’ TURNS AUTO BANDIT This fs a Holdup,’ She Explains, and Gets $7,500.

Where accounts have been unjustly collected or settlements not rightfully made the auditor is to ask for an appropriation for repayment.
