BOARD STUDIES RETAIL SALES TAX PROPOSAL 3 Per Cent Levy to Raise $15,000,000 for State, Backers Claim. Draft of a 3 per cent retail sales tax bill, calculated to raise 515.Q00,000 revenue annually, is scheduled to be presented today to Governor Paul V. McNutt’s tax study commission. The proposed measure is sponrerf by the Associated Retailers of Indiana and is designed to replace the present gross income tax law. The proposed Indiana bill closely follows the Ohio bill which becomes effective in that state Jan. 15 for on* year. Chiof difference is in the products exempt. Food, Fuel Exempt All retail sales of food, fuel, gasolene and medicine sold on prescription would be exempt under the proposed Indiana bill. All other tangible objects sold at retail and utility service would be taxable. A feature of the bill, identical with the Ohio law, is that the tax must be passed on to the consumer. Penalties are provided for any attempt by the merchant to absorb the tax. To accomplish this passing along of the tax, retail merchants would be required to purchase “tax receipts’’ from county treasurers. On each sale, the merchant would be required to sell a tax receipt to the customer. Merchant Retains Part The receipts would be made out in varying amounts from 1 cent up The customer would receive part of the receipt and the merchant would retain part as a permanent record of sales. The Ohio law provides for exemptions on sales of less than 9 cents, kales of 9 to 40 cents would be taxed 1 cent; 40 cents to 70 cents, 2 cents; 70 cents to SI, 3 cents. A similar schedule is to be inserted in the proposed Indiana law’. DOLE SUBSTITUTE FOR WORK RELIEF OPPOSED Government Heads Deprecate Suggestion by Business Leaders. By I itifr'd Press WASHINGTON.

STATE FACTORY GROUP ATTACKS DIRECT PRIMARY Local Government and Tax Reform Also Urged at Parley Here. Indiana Manufacturers’ Assn, today stood for simplification of the structure of local governments and was on record against the direct primary method of nominating candidates for public office. Meeting at the Columbias Club yesterday, the manufacturers estimated $750,000 would be saved Indiana taxpayers by: 1. Placing the collection of automobile and drivers’ license fees in the hands of county treasurers. 2. Abolishing the permanent voters’ registration system. 3. Abolishing the direct primary. 4. Consolidation of township governments wherever possible.

Tax Exemption Law Rapped The association struck at existing statutes under which churches, colleges, schools, fraternal and charitable organizations are exempt from paying taxes regardless of the use to which the properties are put. New or additional taxes levied on industry or business were strongly opposed. “The present tendency,” the association committee reported, “to levy new and additional taxes on business cqn only retard prosperity. It is impossible to create and stabilize buying power with the present tendency to add additional taxes on the employer which can only result in less employment and a reduction in pay rolls.”

Gov. McNutt Speaks Legislation requiring that all gasoline tax funds be placed in county general funds to be used exclusively for building and repair of county roads was strongly urged. Gov. Paul V. McNutt spoke at the dinner of the manufacturers last night. Points of the administration’s legislative program were discussed. Edwin F. Leigh, Marion, was reelected president. All other officers were re-elected. They are C. T. Tertzsch, Jeffersonville, first vice president; Frederick Holmes, Lafayette, second vice president; Irving W.

NEW YAWNING VICTIM REPORTED IN CHICAGO Policeman’s Face Wracked by 15 Gapes a Minute. By United Press CHICAGO, Dec. 21.—Another victim of the strange affliction of “marathon yawning” was reported at the Cook County Hospital today. George Van Cleaf, 31-year-old special policeman, was taken to the hospital this morning, weakened by yawns that have wracked his face at the rate of 15 a minute since yesterday afternoon. Throughout a sleepless night Van Cleaf struggled to stifle the gapes. Fearing that he faced the tortures suffered by a 27-year-old farmer’s wife of Round Grove, 111., who yawned for 10 days, he called a police ambulance.

G. OF C, OFFERS OPPOSITION TO JUVENILE HOME Project Held Undesirable at This Time: Borinstein Re-Elected. The Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce yesterday re-elected its three executive officers and recommended a legislative program which included oppostion to any move by county officials at this time to acquire anew and permanent Juvenile Detention Home. Louis J. Borinstein was reelected president to serve his fifth consecutive year. Mr. Borinstein is the first president in the history of the organization to hold office for that length of time. Henry L. Dithmer and George S. Olive were re-elected by the board of directors vice president and treasurer n •e'Mvely. Legislative matters other than the detention home project were those urging a plan of action to strengthen the position of municipal bonds, the removal of tax exemption from all properties used for income producing purposes, improvement in the administration of old-age pensions, new forms of taxation whose collection and distribution would be more equitable than existing taxes and opposition to state legislation j establishing or legalizing business j NRA codes. Further Study Urged The latter recommendation came j as a result of a referendum vote of the Chamber's membership. The Chamber's protest at the proposal of the county commissioners to purchase the Celeste apartments, 402 E. New York-st. as a Juvenile Detention Home follows opposition to the project from A1 Feeney, State Fire Marshal, and Juvenile Judge John F. Geckler. The Chamber declared that a further study should be made into what might be regarded as the best quarters for a children's institution and that this was not a propitious ! time to finance any such large purchase due to the effect of the tax limitation law on bond issuance. 3-Point Bond Program Three points were included in the municipal bond program. They were that the next General Assembly pass laws placing the rej sponsibility directly upon the proper ! local officials to levy the taxes re- ! quired each year or make other proj vision for the payment of interest I and principal when due on the j bonded debt of local governmental : units. j That the facilities of the Chamber's governmental research bureau be offered to any member desiring information regarding municipal bonds and that the United States Chamber of Commerce be urged to make a thorough study of existing problems of municipal default.
