‘STATE BUSINESS

GROUP TO FIGHT ANY TAX BOOST

Plans to Employ Manager| §

To Protect Interests in Legislation.

A joint committee of businessmen |’

from the recently merged State Chamber of Commerce and the In-

71]

- ter-Organization Council of Indi-|;

ana is working on a plan to com-! bat dny possible further increase in taxes in Indiana.

Details of the plan have not yet ||

been completed, according to John Fredrick, Kokomo manufacturer and president of the State Chamber of Commerce, but “they will be such as to protect business and the people of Indiana.” A part of the plan is to hire a businessman, who has had experience in politics, as a manager to direct the campaign against adverse legislation. This post has been offered to Clarence A. Jackson, | director of the State Gross Income | Tax Division and a New Castle businessman. He is now deliberating on the offer. will ‘Keep in Touch’ “The Chamber of Commerce will remain non-partisan| in its efforts to obtain favorable legislation, but it will certainly keep touch on all political movements to promote the best interests of business and the people of Indiana,” he said. | Mr. Fredrick added| that a large group of businessmen| in the state felt that there is an urgent need for work to be done to combat legislation which would adversely affect business and manufacturing. He said that businessmen all over the state were behind the move to fight increased taxes, land to work for the betterment 'of business. “Theyre all coming in,” he declared. - “The whole process of social life has changed. Taxes have mounted several times. We want to hold | them down to where they are equitable and just. We have no ax to grind, but we want the government administered fairly, justly and economically.”

Co-ordination Is Objective

Nicholas H. Noyes, vice president of Eli Lilly & Co., another leader in the movement, said it was too

early yet to discuss what the ren-

ovated State Chambeér of Commerce would do, but that the general idea among the businessmen as to co-ordinate on a policy on matters affecting taxation, tax legislation and social security. The merger of the Inter-Organi-wation Council and the State Chamber of Commerce was effected quietly several months ago. The Inier-Organization Council dealt chiefly with legislative matters pertaining to businessmen, while the State Chamber of Commerce gave most of its time to non-legislative matters. Businessmen believed the merger of these two organizations would create an organization which could “really work for the Indiana businessman.” After a manager is selected, the joint committee of the Chamber intends to select committees, formally draw up its program and “get underway.”
