: HENRY COUNTY REMC

TO LEAVE STATE UNIT

Action Is Calculated to Cut Expenditures.

NEWCASTLE, March 17 (U. P). —Directors of the - Henry County REMC have decided to sever relations with the Indiana state-wide

REMC as soon as engineering and construction contracts now in effect expire, it was learned today. County directors claimed that the expenditure for relations between the unit here and the state-wide office in Indianapolis exceed the benefits. It was pointed out that any question of importance in the negotiation of business is answered out of the REA offices in Washington.

County Acts Without

Informing Briggs

M. J. Briggs, manager of the Indiana State-wide Rural Electric Membership Corporation, knew nothing of Henry County REMC directors’ decision to withdraw from the state organization when informed of their meeting at Newcastle. “That may be the choice of Henry County,” Mr. Briggs said, “but in a recent state-wide meeting 16 counties voted to act through the state organization. Representatives. of six counties were not present at the meeting and representatives.of four counties did not vote.” He said the Henry County REMC projects would be finished in ‘about a week. .

STEPHENSON TO GET HEARING MARCH 24

NOBLESVILLE. March 17 (U. P.). —D. C. Stephenson will be returned here from the Indiana State Prison March 24 for a hearing on his petition for a writ of error which he hopes will gain him a new trial for the murder of Madge Oberholtzer, State House employee; in 1925. The return order for Stephenson has not been issued, Judge C. M. Gentry said today, but the Sheriff soon will be asked to bring the former Grand Dragon of the Ku-Klux Klan into court for the hearing. Since his conviction in 1925 Stephenson has made six unsuccessful motions for a new trial.

Flier Who Assisted Him Also - Arrested.

NASSAU, Bahamas, March 17 (U. P.).—Forester Scott, Philadelphia lawyer, and Stanley Boynton, Springfield, Mass., aviator, faced formal charges of kidnaping today after - allegedly attempting to seize Scott's two small daughters and take them to the United States.

Scott also was charged with assaulting’ Miss Helen Smith, of Wil-

mington, Del, the children’s nurse,

and carrying a ‘revolver without a license. e children, Eva, 6, and Zoe, 3, were placed in custody of their mother, Mrs. Harry Clarke Boden, after she and Scott were divorced. They were brought to Nassau. Feb. 1 on a vacation trip with Mr. and Mrs. Boden. Police reported Scott and Boynton seized one of the children, who were watching boat races, and when Miss Smith clung to the child Scott struck her and took the child to the taxicab. Bystanders prevented seizure of the second child. Capt. Christopher Brown, local

harbor pilot, followed the men as

they took a small sailing boat and hurried to a plane anchored nearby. Brown jumped into his motor boat and rammed the plane between the floats. He forced the men to get into his boat. In the meantime police arrived.

ASSESSOR HERE MAY SCAN TAX RETURNS TOU.S.

Considered as Wears for ‘Uncovering Intangibles For Local Books.

Inspection of Federal income tax returns to uncover hidden personal

and | property is being considered by Cen-

ter Township, James F. Cunningham, assessor, said today. The privilege is extended under the Costigan amendment.

“We haven't ‘decided,” Mr, Cunningham said, “whether the iticrease in taxables would be sufficient to pay for additional deputies to check the Federal returns.

All Firms Checked

“We would be concerned mostly with personal property and intangible declarations. Our system of using deputies who concern themselves wholly with business returns has worked, in my opinion, very ef-

believe, from every business in the

township. “We have had the co-operation of the Better Business Bureau, and we have checked the telephone - and

‘ation.

ficiently. We. are getting returns, I |

city directories to make sure we have all businessés listed. Returns each

year are checked with the returns of

the year before to make sure that all firms are paying proper taxes. If

any question arises a deputy visits the businessman to clarify the situ-

$6,000,000 Added

“In the past three years we have

added approximately $6,000,000 to the tax rolls of the township, despite a decline ‘in the real estate

valuation. »

State and local governments, generally speaking, have not yet availed themselves to any considerable extent of the privilege of examining Federal income tax returns. Chiefly to blame 1% the maze of red tape with which. the privilege has been ensnarled by regulgtions imposed by the Bureau of Internal Revenue. Some few cities and counties, however, have examined the Federal returns from: their jurisdictions, with favorable results in broadening the base of personal ‘property taxation. - The. 1937 income tax returns,

cause, all persons with. incomes exceeding $100,000 yearly were required to report their personal property holdings, tangible or intangible, and the cost price of the ‘same.
