No. 1-56 S. Illinois St. LI. 0274

Harrell, Mining Concern Aid.

An attack on the Indiana Gross Income Tax of one-fourth of 1 per cent on agricultural products moving to the processor, was launched at the opening session today of the Indiana Grain Dealers’ Association convention-at the Columbia Club. The two-day convention. was ex-

pected to draw nearly 500 delegates |- i |from all sections of the State.

The processing tax was attacked by S. R. Harrell, Indiana ‘Millers State - Association president and

Acme-Evans Milling Co. vice presi-|

dent. > The tax is a “discrimination against the farmer, the country

shipper, the Indiana manufacturer,”

Mr. Harrell said, “and affects the general welfare of the State because the tax does not apply on a shipment of wheat, corn or any other product in interstate commerce. “Indiana-processed grains shipped out of the state to re] the Gross Income Tax. Processed products as. flour, corn meal, commercial feeds and the like may be shipped into Indiana, to Indiana markets, in interstate commerce, and likewise are not taxed. The amount involved in| dollars; and cents is a considerable sum. ”» He urged that the “primary movement of all agricultural products should be entirely exempt from the Indiana Gross Income Tax of onefourth of 1 per cent, if the State is to maintain its self sufficiency. ” Mr. Harrell told the group it should continue to oppose any tax on food. He said that the proposed Federal tax of 30 cents a bushel on wheat is a “tax on the daily bread basket which hits all consumers, including the farmer.” The processing tax, he said would cost Indiana consumers more than $3,800,000 a year.
