STATE LOSES IN| Yes, S GROSS TAX SUIT OF BRICK FIRM

$12,154 Ordered Refunded In Most Important Reversal Since 1933.

| |

For the first time since 1933, the’ Indiana Gross Income Tax Division’ has lost an important court test. Superior Judge Herbert E. Wil-| son ruled against the State today and ordered $12.15465 returned to! the Harbison-Walker Refractory | Co. East Chicago brick firm. While some officials said the de- | cision might open the way for other suits, Clarence Jackson State In-| come Tax collector, said the de-|3 cision would be appealed to the § Supreme Court.

Early Reversals Recalled He pointed out that two deci-| sions had been returned against the | ; law in. 1933, shortly after its pas-i: sage, but that both verdicts were! reversed. In his ruling today, Judge Wilson | decided that fire brick used in fur-| haces for the manufacture of other] goods is taxable at only !4 of 1 per! cent. The money to be returned to the company represents the taxes! paid at a rate of 1 per cent. |

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

The company in its complaint de-| clared that the Division taxed fire]

brick as retail goods; that the brick was not sold to retailers but to manufacturers who used it to line furnaces which in turn were used in the manufacture of steel, and that is was “consumed in direct production.”

The Divisions’ Contention

The Division contended that the brick was not consumed in production. Judge Wilson declared in his opinfon that the definition of “imme-

Ciately consumed” as stated in thej 1937 amendments to the law, “can ring circus complete with clowns, “animals” and 40 acts will be held at not mean consumption without lapse the Manufacturers Building at the Fair Grounds—all of it free!

of time.” Testimony at the hearing brought out that the average life of the fire brick was between 14 and 90 days.

‘BOOTLEGEING’ OF FIREWORKS IN STATE SEEN

Wholesalers Point to Fact That Ohio’s Bill Banning Use Was Defeated.

By JAMES THRASHER Fireworks wholesalers today gloomily predicted an era of boot-

leg pyrotechnics when the new fireworks ban takes effect next year. Assuming that Indiana youngsters will celebrate the Fourth with noise, law or no law, dealers foresee increased casualties from the use of black powder in home-made cannons and inferior manufactured products. State Fire Marshal Clem A. Smith | agrees with the jobbers that sale of bootleg fireworks is a possibility for next year. Ohio Sales Probable

“There will be none coming in from Michigan,” he said today, “because Michigan has a similar ban. But I understand that a bill was defeated in Ohio, and it is probable that there will be fireworks purchased there by Indiana residents and brought into this state.” Enforcement of the provision against shooting of fireworks by others than professional pyrotechnicians will be up to local police and fire departments, Mr. Smith said. The State Fire Marshal's office! has banned some 25 or 30 pieces of fireworks in the last four years. Manufacturers and dealers have cooperated fully with the office, Mr. Smith said, frequently calling attention to products made in other states which they considered dangerous. Calls All Hazardous

“Manufacturers have tried to eliminate as much danger as possible,” the Fire Marshal said, “but I still consider any type of fireworks as potentially hazardous, especially | in the hands of children.” Jack Morris, operator of a fire-| works store at 107 N. Pennsylvania | St, said that there are about half as many retail outlets this summer | as compared to former years. Many | dealers, he said, are afraid to stock

ucts are made in the United States, he said, but imported Chinese crackers are still in demand. Mr. Morris said these fireworks leave the interior of China in mid-| November, are shipped from a Chinese port to San Francisco and thence to New Orleans, where they are put on barges and shipped to Cairo, 1ll. The wholesaler is responsible for the shipment all the way, and he is} prey to a good many fears until the, fireworks arrive. For instance, the Pacific Coast maritime strike of two years ago held up shipment of the Chinese crackers so that Mr. Morris did not receive them until June 27.
