Times Bpecial

ALEXANDRIA, Ind, Oct. 14. — | The Republican pledge for repeal of |

the gross income tdx is a “promise of a sales tax for Indiana,” Lieut. Gov. M. Ciifford Townsend, Dermocratic nominee for Governor, said here last night.

“I care not how many times the |

Republican nominee seeks to dodge the issue and to deny the accusations,” Mr. Townsend said. “The facts as to what the Republican promise amounts to are plain. “They would repeal the gross income tax law without giving it a chance for correction or change and

thereby eliminate $12,000,000 of an- | nual revenue which is going to pay |

the school teachers of Indiana. Wages Seen Source

“Unless they plan to load this cost back upon property and land owners, and they say they do not intend to.do that, then.they have no other source of revenue to tap except the wages, salaries and purchases made by the working men and women of Indiana. It is a promise of a sales tax for Indiana.

“In Indiana we have the money to take care of schools in rural districts and to finance old-age pensions and soclal security, but the opposition has only promises to squander the state's balance, throw the budget out of balance and to abandon sound fiscal policies. “The Republicans promise state bankruptcy and unending tax confusion. The state of Kansas today is contemplating sales taxes, because she has not the money to finance schools, poor relief, social security and old-age pensions. There 1s no such emergency in Indiana.”

McNutt said here last night. “The Democratic Party pledges a continued moratorium on these bonds ani velies,” the Governor said, “and it says so in the following language: ‘We favor a further extension of the existing moratorium on all laws providing for local tax levies and bon issues for road building, maintenance and repairs.’

Printing Press Money in Prospect, Says Socialist

By United Press COLUMBUS, Ind, Oct. 14— Charles Rogers, chairman of the Socialist state committee, speaking before the party’s weekly forum last night, said “inflation would be unavoidable under national administrations of either Landon or Roosevelt.” “Since it is impossible to continue borrowing billions forever to maintain such a relief program sas proposed by both candidates, it can be seen that sooner than we expect the Federal government must turn . to printing press money to meet current expenses,” Rogers declared.

Miss Perkins Cites Job Gains, Farm Income Boost in State

Secretary of Labdr in Talk Here Says 130,000 More Have Work in Indiana Than in 1933.

Indiana workers now have 130,000 more jobs than during the “depression year” ending in June, 1933, Miss Frances Perkins, Secretary of Labor, said here last night at a dinner in the Claypool Hotel. The event was sponsored by the women of the State Federation of Labor, the Railroad Brotherhoods and union auxiliaries.

“Employment in all reporting industries in Indiana was 43 per cent greater during the second quarter of this year than the average employment during the depression year ending June, 1933,” Miss Perkins said. “In Indianapolis weekly pay rolls from July te August averaged 24 per cent greater than during the corresponding months of last year, with a state increase of 31 per cent.

crops and live stock, exclusive of benefit payments, amounted to $63,327,000 in the second quarter this year, an increase of 66 per cent over the corresponding period in 1933 and 95 per cent over 1932.

“Although the drought has reduced crop yields, total farm in-

_ccme will be reduced very little the ‘rest of the year.

Indiana’s corn crop, for example, is about 3) per cent less than that of last year, but prices have risen by a corresponding amount. : “Weekly earnings of workers have increased much more rapidly since the depression than the cost of living. While food prices in Indianapolis were 31.5 per cent higher in July than in the middle of 1933, food prices account for less than one-third of the workers’ expenditures. “The average cost of all items on the workers’ budget is now only 11.5 per cent move than at the lowest point of the depression when scant pay rolls had reduced workers’ purchasing power and farmers were bankrupt.

increase in the cost of living, average weekly earnings in Indiana were 38.3 per cent greater in July this year than they were in June, 1933.”
