Unit; G. 0. P. Suggests ~ Super Defense Tax. (Contintied from Page One) Legislature should © appropriate
...$100,000 to finance the guard for
the next biennium. Of this sum, $75,000 would be spent for uniforms. The Federal Government will furnish only the guns. If the guard were called for emergency duty, it could be financed from the Governor's emergency fund, he explained. + Governor Schricker said he would sign ‘any bill increasing the State * Police force, but added that such a force could not supplant the guard. Discussing a State Council on National Defense, for which a pending Senate bill would provide $200,000, the Governor said “I don’t want to wrangle with the Legislature but I feel that $100,000 a year is sufficient to take care of the Council's expenditures.” He added that he did ' not want the State to spend that amount unless it became absolutely necessary. At a meeting last night the steering committee agreed to take steps for a defense tax to be superimposed on the gross income tax and collected at thé same time. The defense levy probably would not amount to ‘more than 1 per cent
of the amount of gross income tax] .
“or 01 per cent of the total gross income of a taxpayer, G. O. P. leaders said. The first step in the plan, expected to be taken today, will be introduction of a resolution providing for appointment by Governor Schricker of a defense study group, whose report would guide further action. The committee would be directed to make a comprehensive survey of the state’s defense needs and estimate their cost. The steering committee said a defense fund probably would be sought with the provision that®any money left after the passing of the war emergency would be turned back into regular goyernmental channels.

Two Marion County superior courts would be abolished under a bill introduced in the House today by Rep. Thaddeus Baker (R. Indianapolis). Other bills affecting Marion County introduced today would: 1. Make it optional] for the County Council to appropriate $60,000 to pay assistants in the prosecutor's office. At present it is ‘mandatory that the amount be appropriated. 2.

Stork 1st, 2d n Race With Auto
McKEESPORT, Pa., Feb. 14 (U..
P.).—This is a repetition of the old story about the race between the stork and the automobile— with one important change. Yes, the stork won the race— not once, but twice. As Thomas Haywood, 29, was rushing his wife to the hospital, a son was born. Mr. Haywood continued on to the hospital. When he arrived, he rushed
into the emergency ward and returned with a physician.
“I think we had better wait a minute or so before we remove your wife from the automobile,” the physician counseled. A few minutes later, another baby was born—also a son. Mrs. Haywood and the twins were carried into the hospital. Mr, Haywood was too dazed to comment, They have three other children.
certify the returns to the canvassing board. 3. Require the City to carry liability insurance on all policemen and firemen, Under provisions of Rep. Baker's bill, Superior Courts 4 and 5 would be abolished as an economy move. He estimates the County would save $30,000 and the State $8400 a year and the efficiency of the courts “probably would not suffer.” . Marion County, besides having five superior courts, also has a circuit court, provided by the Constitution, to handle civil cases along with two municipal courts. Rep. Oscar Jose Jr. (R. Indianapolis) introduced the bill to require
£
certification of election returns to the daily newspapers. “This bill will make election results more readily available to ‘the press and to the public and should help to further insure fair and accurate elections,” Rep. Jose said. Some members of the Marion County delegation describe the bill to require the City to carry insurance on the policemen and firemen as “vicious.” They contend the City always has reimbursed the officers and firemen in case of injury. ‘This was denied by Rep. J. Otto Lee (R. Indianapolis), author of the measure.

poor man’s tax because he is the ultimate consumer and the man who pays all sales taxes on all commod-
ities handled by all the people be-
fore him.” The House Ways and Means committee is expected to begin consideration of the $110,000,000 State biennial budget this afternoon or tomorrow. Committee leaders say that the State will be about even in 1943 if present revenue measures are not disturbed, but point out that several measures to reduce the state’s income and increase expenses are progressing rapidly through the Legislature. The State Budget committee has recommended a tobacco tax to raise additional revenue, but Governor Schricker also expressed opposition to this plan. Mr. Thomas, however,
said that a tobacco tax might be
favored by the Farm Bureau, along with a tax on “soda pop.” The farm leader also favors the Budget Committee’s proposal for stricter enforcement of the intangibles tax, which it has been esti-
mated would bring in an additional $1,000,000 a year.

He admitted the thefts and returned the money—with inter est. Max Bloom, president of the company, recommended that the case be dismissed. Prosecutor Julius Sherwin agreed, and said the company was considering rehiring Kronenberg. “And I suggest they give him a raise,” Sherwin said. “Why not make him treasurer?” Judge Charles S. Dougherty asked as he dismissed the case.
