PACE 4 ___
Look to Legislature
Joseph G. Wood, (left) secretary of the Insurance Federation of Indiana, advises against any change in the Workmen’s Compensation Law at a legislative program conference of business leaders today. Béside him is Lothair Teetor, Hagerstown, president of the State Chamber of Commerce, which sponsored the conference.
Hear Warning
Against Laws
That Might Add to Tax Load
Indiana’s business leaders ‘today talked over laws likely to be proposed at the next session of the Legislature and heard warnings to guard against any legislation which would increase the State’s tax load. Commercial group executives and business leaders from all sections of the State attended the session, which was being held at the Indianapolis Athletic Club under the auspices of the State Chamber of Commerce and the Indiana Commercial Secretaries Association. A resolution urging legislators and organized groups to “carefully consider all angles of both the State and national situation” before seeking any legislation increasing public costs was to be introduced at the close of the session late today.
Schricker Invited
Governor-Elect Henry F. Schricker, U. 8. Senator-Elect Raymond E. Willis, and Lieutenant Governorelect Charles M. Dawson were invited to attend the group’s luncheon. Clarence E. Jackson, the State Chamber’s executive vice prasident, discussed miscellaneous labor problems. While agreeing that no legislation should be passed which would increase taxes, he said the one possible exception is the State Labor Department. This department, he said, has functioned smoothly at low cost, “but certainly could use more men, and a little more spent there would result in much greater savings for employers in the long run.” .
Oppose Amendments
During the discussion of. a proposed State Wage and Hours law, Roy Johns, president of the Associated Retailers of Indiana, said retailers more or less are opposed to such a law but would “go along” if the entire business community felt differently.”
Joseph G. Wood, secretary of the Insurance Federation of Indiana and representing the State Chamber’s Workmen’s Compensation Law committee, said the committee would oppose any amendments to the law at this time, The three broad fields of legislation in which the conference was concerning itself were social security, taxation and labor. The resolution to be introduced stated that “operations of local and state government in Indiana already in effect are taking slightly more than the income from tax sources within the state, and any additional governmental burdens would mean additional taxation unless some of the services of government now in operation are eliminated or curtailed.” : U. S. Increase Certain
The Federal defense program, it added, necessarily will result in increased Federal taxes, which cannot be avoided, but “a great deal can be done in our local and state levels of government.” The increase in Federal taxation is likely to appear, it states, “not only in the form of higher pet income taxes but probably by the addition of new kinds of hidden or open sales and income taxes and the raising of rates of such types of taxes already in existence.” Lothair Teetor, Hagerstown, State Chamber president, presided.
SYMPATHY TO RUMANIA
WASHINGTON, Nov. 15 (U. P.). —The State Department said that President Roosevelt had cabled to King Mihai of Rumania an expression of “very deep sympathy of the American people for the thousands who have suffered or have been made homeless by the earthquake in Rumania.”

FARMERS URGE NO CUT IN YIELD OF GROSS LEVY
Ready to Fight Any Such Changes, Bureau Says as Session Nears End.
The Indiana Farm Bureau today pledged itself to fight any change in the Gross Income Tax law that would lower the total yield and prepared to adjourn its 22d annual convention in Tomlinson Hall. It also approved the AAA but recommended that it be administered by a bi-partisan board appointed by the President subject to the approval of the Senate, and it recom-
mended that some new method of financing it be found that would “be as painless and indirect in.its collection as are industrial tariffs.” Anson Thomas, tax and legislation director for the bureau, said the organization will not oppose any gross tax adjustments which would offer “relief” to retailers and small businessmen. Buf Indiana farmers will fight any move to cut total revenue, Mr, Thomas said, for they feel that an additional tax burden wolud be thrown on real estate.
‘Confers With Retailers
Mr. Thomas said he had conferred with the Associated Retailers of Indiana, and that he had told the association that as far as the Farm Bureau was concerned, retailers could have a choice of “higher exemption or lower rates.” Neither, by itself, of course, would satisfy the bureau, he said, adding one would have to Pe adjusted if the other was. An estimated 50,000 farmers marched on the State House to protest a Republican gross tax proposal during the last session of the Legislature. That plan would have reduced the rate from 1 per cent to one-half of 1 per cent and cut the exemption from $3000 to $1000. The Bureau asked “that the Trade Agreements Act be amended so as to require the unanimous approval of the Secretaries of State, Agriculture and’ Commerce. We oppose any agreement affecting any agricultural commodity which will open our farm products to an unfair competition with foreign commodities where labor and industrial standards are far below the labor and industrial standards of the United States.”
On Welfare and Relief
On welfare and relief, the Bureau said, is “the most serious problem’ confronting the taxpayers of our state today,” and the convention recommended that “every ablebodied person” perform some service in return for the aid given him. The farmers also urged that the status of the man on relief should not be hazarded by private work, and advised that relief should be made less attractive than private enterprise and that there should be no duplication of relief work and relief aid, - This would’ mean .that a man working on the WPA could not receive groceries from his township. In a resolution on the. state highway system, the Bureau said “we are opposed to a diversion of such funds (those paid into the motor vehicle fund) to other than road purposes.”
Fight Farm-to-Packer Movement
Viewing with alarm the “rapid development of the direct-to-packer movement of livestock,” the convention moved to employ “every means at its command to combat this evil.” The Bureau contends that such a practice “definitely removes the open competitive system of establishing values.” : The farmers voted to use all their influence to encourage greater use of lard. “We also recommend,” the resolution on this said, “that the U. S. Department of Agriculture direct more research on lard and institute a ‘standardization similiar to that” used in the butter market. The Bureau pointed out that “there is some demand for a reassessment of real estate and improvements . . assessors should not be ordered by the Legislature to make an assessment unless they possess standarized methods and forms.”
FHA Methods Advised
The Bureau recommended such methods as have been proposed by the Federal Housing Administration and the Farm Security Credit Administration. In another resolution the convention condemned the substitutjon' of vegetable oils for butter fat in the manufacture of condensed milk. Members of the resolutions committee were Fred Suhre, Columbus, chairman; Luther B. Linn, Star City; Lester Boger, Auburn; Arthur Arnott, Rensselaer; Howard Adler, Sharpsville; Virgil Merritt, Crawfordsville; Ernest Freeman, Muncie; Addison Drake, Fairbanks; Leon’ Johnson, Orleans, and S. J. Brewer, Vallonia. :
