FOR GROSS TAX]
Fiscal Yiar Collections at $23,648,497; Number of Payees Rises.
State gross income tax collections during the fiscal year ending yesterday totaled $23,648,497.28, exceeding by $1,226,589.73 the .previous all- _ time high, Gilbert K. Hewit, division - director, announced today. Mr. Hewit said that collections were $3,507,731.22 greater than for the year ending June 30, 1939, and that there were 102,570 more returns filed: than in the last fiscal year. He said that this increase of more than 15 per cent in the number of taxpayers “unquestionably may be taken as an indication of a
. widespread rise in the Indiana in-
come level just as the large increase
_ in the total amount of gross income
tax collected may be taken as. a token of thriving prosperity in industry and business.”
763,464 Returns Filed
There were 763,464 returns filed in the 1939-40 fiscal year. The increase in tax payments was 17.42 per cent. The previous year’s record was the 1937-38 fiscal year, in which $22,421,907.55 was paid in taxes. The greatest increase over 1938-39 were shown in the first two quarters of the fiscal year just ended. In the July-September quarter, payments were 19.07 per cent above the same quarter of the .previous year. In the October-December quarter, payments were 21.9 per 'cent above the 1938 quarter. The January-March quarter, in which all annual payments as well ‘as the regular quarterly payments “are made, was 17.27 per cent above 1939 and the April-June quarter, just ended, was 11.58 per cent above the 1939 quarter.
Deadline Is July 15

PERJURY pl
Henry M. Thomas and Two ‘Others Accused of Warren Twp. Conspiracy.
Henry M. Thomas, Warren Township trustee, today was under arrest on an. indictment charging
perjury and conspiracy to com-| mit a felony, listed as bribery. Named jointly‘ with the trustee in the conspiracy indictment, returned by the Grand Jury Saturday, were Harry N. White, Warren Township businessman, and Fred W. Rubin, 5825 Oak Ave. At the same time, Cecil F. Scoft and John A. Staab, city firemen, were under arrest -on another indictment charging them with/ embezzling funds of the Indianapolis Firemen’s Credit Union. *,
Probe Dates to December
The - Warren Township indictment was based on a Grand Jury investigation, begun last December, of .a purported pre-election agreement whereby Mr. Thomas gave Mr. Rubin and Mr. White, his campaign managers, control over his appointments and the letting of contracts. The agreement, dated July 28, 1938, and bearing the purported signature of Mr. Thomas follows: “I, the undersigned, of my own free will, agree to consult and abide with the advice of Fred Ruben and H. N. White, jointly, in all matters pertaining to the campaign and the results thereof, as including all appointments and letting of contracts as trustee of Warren Township.’ At the time the investigation was started, Mr. White and Mrs, Rubin explained that in order to protect Mr. Thomas from having to make political promises in~ order to be elected, they had him sign the agreement making it impossible for him to make any promises. They said they meant the contract to remain in force only until Mr. Thomas" took office.
White and Rubin Named
The conspiracy indictment charges Mr. Thomas, Mr. White and Rubin with conspiracy to solicit funds from persons who, after the elec-
: |tion, might desire to furnish poor
relief. supplies. to the township. The perjury indictment charges Mr. Thomas, in filing his statement of campaign expenses, swore he had made n@ promises. The rren Township case was investigated by another Grand Jury a year ago without any indictments being returned at that time. All three defendants surrendered and were released under bond. The other indictment charges that Mr. Scott and Mr. Staab, as officers, agents and members of the firemen's credit union, embezzled “about $50,000.” The Grand Jury investigation was | begun after the State Department of Financial institutions suspended the organization’s license. Both Mr. Scott and Mr. Staab sufrendered to face the indictment. ||
