M'NIITT FORCES TO OPPOSE NET INCOME LEVY Stein, Weiss and Jackson Express Disapproval of Proposal. Indications that the administration would discourage attempts to enact a net income tax law :o talcc the place of present gross tax legislation were seen in comments ox officials and Assembly leaders today. Still figuratively "back on their heels" from the shock of yesterday's Supreme Court decision relating to the method of amending the state Constitution, party leaders were busily considering far-reaching ramifications of the ruling. "I think it would be impossible to pass a net income tax law and I feel it would be unnecessary at this time.’’ said Rep. Edward H. Stein <D. t Bloomfield). Jackson Is Opposed “We feel that the present gross tax law is much more scientific and a fairer method of taxation than any yet devised,’’ declared Jacob Weiss, Senate floor leader. “It would be nearly impossible to raise the revenue that we need under a net income tax law,” was the comment of Clarence A. Jackson, gross income tax division director. Meanwhile constitutional authorities expressed unofficial opinions quieting early rumors that scores of Indiana attorneys would be disbarred by the court’s decision, which in effect, held that the people had repealed the constitutional provision entitling all persons of good moral character 10 practice law. Bar Test to Be Required These attorneys held that rules for admission to the bar established by the Supreme Court are effective, and that the decision Ls not retroactive to effect persons practicing at the bar at the time the decision was handed down. Henceforth attorneys must pass rigid examinations before being permitted to practice in any of the courts of justice in the state. The effect of the decision upon salaries of officials increased during their terms remained unsettled. One of the amendments given life by yesterday's decision was the one prohibiting the increasing of salaries during the term for which officials were elected or appointed. Pay Hikes May Be illegal Unofficial opinoins were that the salaries of all the judges of the Supreme Court, Appellate Court, Superior and Circuit Courts that have been increased since the amendment was voted upon are illegal and refunds must be made to the public treasuries. The SSOOO pay increase voted for Lieut-Gov. M. Clifford Townsend by the 1933 General Assembly was under question. The same legislature voted increases for Pleas Greenlee, secretary to Gov. Paul V. McNutt. The question of the effect of the decision upon salaries may be submitted to the courts for interpretation, it was reported. Public Funds Bill Among the 10 new bills introduced in the House yesterday was one measure fixing the manner of the diversion of interest on the public funds front depositories to the state sinking fund for public deposits. The bill fixes an interest rate on public funds at a maximum of 2 per cent and a minimum of ' 2 of 1 per cent. The measure makes it a crime of embezzlement with a sentence of from 1 to 20 year?; in prison or a fine up to SIOOO for failure to divert interest to the sinking fund or other proper funds by depository officials It sets the state sinking fund, to be built up out of diverted interest, at $3,000,000. Judges’ Pay Measure Salaries of municipal judges in Marion County would be increased from $3600 to SSOOO a year under a House bill offered yesterday by Rep. Morris H. Coers <D„ Indianapolis*. Bill Aimed at Reds Political parties of ‘’communistic nature" or those seeking to overthrow government by force could not be placed on election ballots under terms of a House bill introduced yesterday. Other important new measures included: Provision for referendum elections on supplying free text books; prohibiting sale of liquor within 1000 feet of a school: fixing salaries of deputy treasurers in counties over 400.000 population at $3600. Bar Lauds Ruling The Indiana State Bar Association legislative program will not be upset by the Supreme Court ruling on adoption of amendments to the state Constitution. "The court's action means that Indiana has taken a long step forward on the question of the standards of its bar," Wilmer T. Fox. Jeffersonville, state president, said last night. "I am very glad to hear of the decision, but not surprised.” Thomas C. Batchelor. Indianapolis. state secretary, said the court decision makes more secure the bar association's position on the 1929 act which gave the Supreme Court the right to prescribe admission qualifications.
