GENERAL SALES TAX FOR STATE IS SEEN LIKELY I McNutt Against Principle, but Drastic Action Needed in Financial Crisis. BY BEN STERN Possibility that the legislature, convening Jan. 5. will be asked to pass a general sales tax in order to balance the state budget, loomed today, as a result of an estimated deficiency of $2,678,135.65 in the state income. Neither Paul V. McNutt, Gover-nor-elect, nor his advisers are in sympathy with a sales levy. With the threat of state bankruptcy during the coming summer, it may be necessary to take drastic steps to avert such a situation, according to those close to the incoming administration. It is estimated that a general sales tax would bring $10,000,000 into the state treasury. Because of the constitutional limitation against the state borrowing or going into debt, the only relief from the failure of the Leslie administration to balance the budget must come through some form of additional taxation. Face Financial Impasse Although the Democratic platform pledges an income tax, which will be fulfilled, it Is an open secret that such a measure will be taken to the courts immediately in order to test its constitutionality. This will mean a delay of several years before the levy can be realized upon. Proponents of the sale - tax, who are enemies of the income measure, made an abortive attempt to put through an excise levy in the special session. They argued that precedent for the state fixing such a tax was set when the United States supreme court ruled, in the chain store tax case, that this comes within the police powers of the state. The only alternative to a sales tax, it is argued, is through amending the $1.50 maximum tax law so as to abolish the 15-cent limitation for the state and permit the Governor, auditor and tax board to increase the state's levy. This would not bring in funds in sufficient time to balance the budget, because it could not be enforced retroactively. The deficiency must be met or the state will be unable to operate the last two months of the present fiscal year, ending Sept. 30, 1933. McNutt Doesn't Like Plan Direct cause of the deficiency is two-fold. The first is the 15-cent maximum state levy placed by the $1.50 law, which became an enactment when Leslie took neither affirmative nor veto action. The second is the reduction in valuations on real property from $5,126,000,000 to $3,900,000,000. This last factor immediately made for a greatly reduced income. Os the state’s 15 cents. 10 4 cents must be divided among various special funds specifically provided by statute, while the general fund gets 44 cents. In order to operate at the reduced budget, the state general fund levy should have been 11 cents instead of 44 cents, according to the state auditor’s office. McNutt always has held the theory that an individual should be taxed on his ability to earn and not on the necessities of life, and so is loth even to consider a sales tax.

New Fumigating Gas Order Is Passed by Council at Meeting. Ordinance regulating operation of taxicabs was introduced to the city council Monday night by Charles C. Morgan, councilman, who stated the measure is sponsored by the majority of cab operators in the city. The new measure changes requirements for licensing of cabs and. according to Morgan, is intended to limit the number of taxis operating In the city. A SIOO license fee for the first cab and S3O for each additional vehicle is required under the proposed ordinance, instead of the single S3O fee under the existing regulation. Two ordinances were passed at the meeting. The measure regulating the use of fumigating gas by requiring a warning mixture to prevent asphyxiation, prepared under the direction of Dr. Herman G. Morgan, secretary of the board of health, was passed. A previous measure was vetoed by Mayor Reginald H. Sullivan when it was found that its provisions discriminated against some companies in the fumigating business. Name of Ashland avenue, from Massachusetts avenue to Twentyeighth street, was changed by*ordinance to Carrollton avenue. Before its passage, a section ot the ordinance seeking to change the name of Forest Manor avenue, from Thirty-fourth to Thirty-eighth streets, was stricken out. Several years ago the name was changed from School street, and some residents of the neighborhood desired to resume the former name. Other ordirances were introduced to ratify a contract between the board of public works and Transcontinental and Western Airways,. Inc., for use of the municipal airport for a ten-year period; give authority to the board of works to sell city ground near Kappes and Meridian streets, and transferring $1,225 in the department of safety.

LABOR PARLEY SPLIT LOANS ON NEEDY RELIEF ‘Rump’ Faction of A. F. of L. Plans Separate Meeting to Map Program. By United Press CINCINNATI, Nov. 22.—Dissension threatened to obstruct labor leaders’ plans for combating the depression as the fifty-second convention of the American Federation of Labor opened its second session today. A “rump” faction planned to hold a separate meeting for discussion of a broader unemployment insurance program than that proposed by the A. F. of L. executive council. L. Welnstock, New York, a leader in the dissenting faction, said that 110 delegates were expected at the separate convention. Their plan provides for insurance paid by the government and workers and distributed by workers’ committees. Leaders of the opposing faction also have attacked the salaries paid national officers of the organization, claiming they should be reduced. Talk Jobless Insurance Unemployment insurance appeared today to be the chief issue before the convention. It was proposed by labor leaders as a means of providing relief for workmen who become unemployed because of the wide use of modern machinery. The executive council proposed that the insurance be paid by the workers. Among resolutions prepared for presentation to the convention today was one asking congress and the President to enact laws to permit postal savings banks to engage in all ‘‘the business of private bank,” and for the A. F. of L. to conduct a campaign to “expose the bankers of the country.” Resolution Flays Bankers One resolution flayed bankers and banking policies. “Bankers mercilessly are capitalizing on the financial needs of cities by refusing to lend money except at high rates, thus curtailing the constructive functions of public employes,” it said. “Bankers have shown a mad desire to accumulate wealth by speculation, and an antisocial and unsound economic policy which has curtailed productive activity,” the resolution said. President William Green urged the 400 delegates to take the lead in solving the problems of labor. He pleaded for support of the movement for a five-day working week and a six-hour day. Deny Indiana Radio Plea By United Press WASHINGTON, Nov. 22.—Officials of the federal radio commission said today station WHBF at Rock Island, 111., would be granted a regular renewal of license as a result of dismissal of the application of the Wabash Valley Broadcasting Company, Attica, Ind., for use of its facilities.

U. S. Aid to Be Asked for Million Wandering Men General Glassford Assumes Leadership in Movement to Obtain Federal Relief for Baffling* Depression Problem. BY MAX STERN Tl* Miff Writer WASHINGTON. Nov. 22.—Declaring that there are nearly 1.000.000 wandering men and boys not now receiving adequate relief from the states, Brigadier-General Pelham G. Glassford today announced that he has agreed to assume leadership in a movement to secure federal aid from
the incoming congress for meeting what he calls “one of the most baffling of our national relief problems.” Glassford, former Washington police chief and central figure of the bonus demonstrations, came In touch with the. “homeless man problem” as the result of his year at the national capital. ■ Since his resignation, he says, he has been urged by many to take up the cause of these particular “forgotten men.” He would not say what form of federal legislation will be asked, other than that it will be a request for an outright grant to the states that can not now afford to spend their own or borrowed money on a relief program that is interstate in its. nature. “It is estimated that there are close to 1,000,000 of these wandering men and boys now on the road,” said Glassford. “Fully 90 per cent of them are under 35. Some 200,000 of them are mere boys. These young
men, most of them from respectable and substantial families, have been cast loose from their jobs and homes by the depression, and are engaged in an aimless and ceaseless roving over the nation. Right now they are swarming over the south, southwest and Pacific coast. “The individual states can not afford to care for them. The result is that these boys and men are being passed on from soup kitchen and flop house to another, a prey to every sort of degenerative influence. “To care for these young men and boys is not only a humane duty but I see in this situation an appalling menace to the manhood of the nation.”
