State Maps Appeal On Decision Voiding Truck Weight Levy

Judge Markey Holds Law Unconstitutional and Unreasonable; U. S. Supreme Court Verdicts Cited to Substantiate Ruling.

The State is to appeal a ruling of Superior Judge Joseph T. Markey, holding the Indiana Truck Weight Tax Law unconstitutional, Joseph W. Hutchinson, Deputy State Attorney General, said today. Judge Markey, in a ruling last night, held that the taxes assessed “are much greatér than is reasonably necessary and that such license fees and taxes are an unreasonable bur-

according to the size of tires

den.” He held the act unconstitutional. The ruling permanently enjoins the State from the collection of the . truck tax. : The ruling was made in a case filed by Kenneth C. Foster, Indianapolis truck owner and operator, on behalf of himself and others. It came shortly after the Governor's Tax Study Commissign had recommended in a preliminary: report that the law be modified to eliminate the tax on lighter vehicles.

Claims Law Unreasonable

Meanwhile, Walter Myers, attorney for Mr. Foster, declared the Commission’s recommendations were in line with the arguments presented in the litigation. “We contended that the law was unreasonable,” he said, “in that it imposed a duty more than was warranted by policing, maintenance and construction of the roads.” During the case, the truck opera~ tors presented evidence. to show that trucks, trailers and semitrailers represent 19 per. cent of the vehicular traffic of the state, yet pay an average of 40 per cent of the maintenance and construction costs. Mr. Hutchinson argued that the State has wide discretion in tax matters. He declared the law is not a regulatory measure and cited figures to show that road costs would be approximately 37 per cent less if trucks did not use them. He said these figures show just reason to classify trucks differently from passenger cars and justify sa Higher rate.

U. S. Verdicts Cited

In his ruling, Judge Markey cited a United States Supreme Court decision to justify his' conclusion. He said, in part: “In order to justify a State to collect money, which is a burden on interstate commerce, it must appear that it is necessary for the expenses of providing facilities or the enforcement of commerce, which are within the constitutional powers of the State, and this may appear from the statutes for the use of money collected ‘to cary on such expense. “And the burden is upon the plaintiff to present evidence to show that the fee is excessive and is unreasonable. This ruling was made plain and clear in a case in the United States Supreme Court, which opinion was delivered by Mr. Justice Stone and was concurred in LA all the other justices.”

FUNDS FOR PARK PROGRAM ASKED

Indianapolis Foundation to Be Urged to Support Handcraft Work.

Financial backing for a city-wide handcraft program at City playgrounds this summer will be asked of the Indianapolis Foundation, Mrs. Louis Markun, Park Board member, said today. The Park Board refused to allocate funds for the program several weeks ago when it was ‘proposed by Mrs. Markun. The Board has no money for such a purpose at this time, Jackiel Joseph, Park Board president, explained. In addition to the handcraft program the plan calls for an additional 10 playgrounds. The City now has 39 playgrounds, Mrs. Markun said. The additional playgrounds would be supervised by the WPA and financed by the Foundation. The Park Board has agreed to. assume all damage that might be caused by the children. About 25,000 children used each of the City playgrounds last year, Mrs. Markun said.

County marketing area, Mr. Humrickhouse said. The State Board issued a similar order for the Putnam County area

and has a request pending from Blackford County. In asking for emergency action, the Local Milk Committee, made up of producers’ and distributors’ representatives, said: “The abnormally heavy production of milk throughout the milk

{producing sections of the United

States has glutted the; cream and butter markets to such an extent that butter has dropped to 26 cents a pound. “There is an abnormally heavy supply of milk on the Indianapolis market, which has been brought about by early grass feeding conditions. Plants here have refused to take the surplus at condensing prices.” Because of the early spring, cows were sent into pastures 30 days sooner than usual, Mr. Humrickhouse said. This caused an increased suppy of milk at a time when the ice cream industry was not ready to take up the surplus. He said he did not know the

exact amount of surplus either in \this county or in the state. :

Possibly one of the most frequent complaints received by the Better Business Bureau is a request for assistance in obtaining a refund for merchandise returned, or to be returned, for one reason or another. Various reasons are given as excuses for returning merchandise or refusing to pay for it. Sometimes it is dissatisfaction with the fit, or the style; or some other member . of the family does not like it; or that since it was purchased they have lost their job afid feel that they will be unable to pay for it; or that sickness has occurred, and so on.

While many retailers will refund the purchase price when: customers change their minds, there is no way of compelling any concern to do so. It is entirely a matter of store policy, a privilege which many retailers extend to their customers but which they are not obligated to do.
