REGISTRATION TABULATION IN COUNTY NEARLY COMPLETED; SPRINGER FLAYS GROSS TAX

P. Candidate Attacks State Administration at Shelbyville. Times Special WALDRON. Ind., April 11.— Shelby County voters today discussed the plea of Raymond S. Bpringer, Connersville, Republican candidate for the gubernatorial nomination, for repeal of the gross Income tax law and the 1935 "ripper” act of the Legislature. "We must abolish dictation and domination in Indiana." declared Mr. Springer at a meeting here last night. "We must put an end to the unthinkable plan of centralizing power in the Governor or any other agency, and let the people rule in Indiana. The present plan of state government, by the administration now in power, is an infringement upon the inherent rights of the people as guaranteed by our state Constitution,” Mr. Springer asserted. Attack* Liquor Laws Urging readjustment of state; government he said: "The Reorganization Act of 1935 must be repealed, and our state officers restored to their constitutional rights and responsibilities; taxes must be reduced; the present gross income tax law, which is wholly inequitable, must be repealed; our state hospitals, schools, libraries and penal institutions must be freed from the political spoils system, as now operated, and they must be placed on a basis of merit, efficiency and economy. "The present liquor laws, which are unfair to the retailer, the consumer, the people and the state, must be repealed and a reasonable regulatory law substituted with the local community in control; waste and extravagance must stop in our state government and the large number of useless boards and commissions now appointed and functioning must‘be entirely abolished ' and the great cost and expense of such groups entirely eliminated. "All this, to the end that we return to commonsense government and for the benefit of the overburdened taxpayers,” he concluded.

Legeman, district WPA director, denied the charges, which were given to Man’ a by the marshal. He declared that the men were not working because of the severe cold, but that they made up the time at a later date.
