Gross Income Tax Collection Shows Steady Rise for Last Year.

Announcement that nearly 7000 workers received jobs during March through the Indiana State Employment Service today was followed by a statement from the State Gross Income Division that Indiana business has been improving in the last

year. At the same time the number of Indiana workers who were laid off and who applied for unemployment benefits during March was lower than in any month since the job insurance program started a year ago, the Indiana Unemployment Compensation Division announced. 6986 Find Jobs J. Bradley Haight, Employment Service acting director, said that 69886 persons found jobs through the service during March and that 15,960 found jobs during the first three months of 193% as compared with the former record of 13,068 made during the first three months of 1937. Indicating a steady climb in business conditions in the State, Clarence A. Jackson, State Gross Income Tax Division director, said that “gross income tax collections on 1938 incomes totaled $19,883,573.22.”

‘Steady Comeback Shown’

“Although this figure is $3,075,150.86 less than the 1937 collection, a quarter by quarter comparison with 1937 shows there has been a steady comeback from the rather sharp decline in business conditions the early part of last year,” he said. According to the Unemployment Compensation Division, only 5969 persons filed initial benefit claims in March, compared to the previous low of 6610 in February. The high mark for one month was 36,676 last May.

The trend continued upward through the Nazi occupation of Praha and Memel until today an Institute survey finds that 65 voters in every 100 say they would join a movement to stop buying German - made

Ee goods. The growing

disapproval of Germany's policies is also reflected in the results of .a companion survey on tariffs. Three days after Herr Hitler marched into Praha the American State Department raised the duty on German-made goods brought into the United States. This action, the Institute finds, is approved by an overwhelming majority of American voters— more than seven in every 10.

E survey found no important differences of opinion on the boycott issue by ages, by political parties or by geographical sections. Throughout all areas of the country sentiment for a boycott movement runs to 60 per cent or more. Some difference of opinion by economic groups was noted, however, the lower income voters being more in favor of using the boycott as a weapon of protest than the upper income voters. Voters who favor the boycott principle give one chief reason for their opinion—that Nazi aggression should be curbed. One voter's comment, typical of the majority view, was: “Boycott is cur most powerful convenient means of criticizing aggression” Another typical comment was: “Somebody should teach Hitler a lesson.” The minority who oppose a German boycott are apprehensive that such a move will involve us further in Europe's troubles. The view of this group is expressed in the typical comment: “Boycott is an act of warfare. It would be the first step toward war with Germany.”

Average Family in Position To Spend $2116 in Year, Survey Shows.

NEW YORK, April 12 (U. P)— Each individual American had an “effective buying income” of $492 in 1938, while the average family was in a position to spend $2116, according to the 18th annual survey of buying power published today by the magazine Sales Management. The survey report estimated total 1838 national income at $63,274,609,000, or a decrease of about 12 per

come, however, was about half as much again as the depression low of 41 billion dollars recorded in 1932. A breakdown of buying incomes in the various cities disclosed that Des Moines, Iowa, families, with an average of $3778 to spend, ranked first in the nation. Washington, D. C., was second with an average of $3767, followed by Minneapolis with $3700 and New York City with $3609

The magazine pointed out that this “effective buying power” was calculated not only on actual cash incomes and cash expenditures, but took into consideration a number of nonmoney factors, such as free rent and farming resources of the rural and village populations. New York led all states with an average effective buying power of $3069 per family, followed by Neada with $2777 and California with 33.
