B.0. P. IS DENI GROSS TAX RULE

Beamer Upholds Schricker ||

In Appointing Hewit Boss of Division. A faint hope in Republican circles that they might be able to get con-

tro! of the patronage-heavy Gross Income Tax Department was

quashed today by Attorney General

George Beamer. In an official opinion to Repubfican State Treasurer James NM. Givens, Mr. Beamer ruled that Gov-

ernor Schricker was entirely within| his rights last month in designating |

Gilbert K. Hewit, director of the Gross Income. Division, as “the Department of Treasury” and charg-

ing him with the administration of}

the Gross Income Law. Mr. Givens had contended that with the repeal of the McNutt Reorganization Act, the Governor had no statutory power to create or assign any department and that the State Treasurer should be head of the Income Division.

Invokes Tax Law

Mr. Beamer said that the Governor did not issue his executive order under the McNutt repealer but acted under the terms of Gross Income Tax Law itself which said: “The term Department of Treasury means that department or any branch thereof or any agency of the State of Indiana to which the Governor may assign the enforcement of this Act. and the word ‘department’ means said department of treasury.” Mr. Beamer said that the Department of Treasury created inthe Gross Tax law was separate and distinct from the Board of the Department of Treasury set up by the McNutt act of which the treasurer was a member.

Provision Ruled Out

He ruled that one provision of the Gross Tax law which specified that the treasurer should approve all rules and regulations signed by the Gross Income Tax director, could not be fellowed now because of the recent “ripper” suit opinion which held that State offices could not exercise executive powers. Mr. Beamer devoted eight pages to the opinion and quoted extensively from the recent “ripper” suit decision. He said that no provision exists in any law designating the State Treasurer as the person to administer and enforce the gross income tax law.

Able Seaman William Sparks has just 15 days to make the acquaintance of his 5-months-old son, William Lee Sparks Jr, and he's set about the job so strenuously that he won't even answer the phone. Seo his wife, Mrs. Mary Sparks, talked from their Beech Grove home and said: Mr. Sparks is on furlough from his ship, the U. S. S. San Francisco; he is home for the first time in a little over a year: he will go back in 15 days: William Lee Jr. was born while papa was stationed at Honolulu: when they met at the Union Station yesterday, father and son saw each other for the first time: it looks like the beginning of a long, long friendship.

M'NUTT SAYS JAPAN HAS ‘WELDED’ FOES

WASHINGTON, Aug. 6 (U. P)— Paul V. McNutt, former High Commissioner to the Philippines, believes that Japan, by its recent aggressive actions. has “welded her neighboring powers into an effective united front against herself.” Japan, he said in an interview

yesterday. “inevitably faces the united might of the democratic

nations. “Australia, the other members of

He said that the Board of Accounts had instructed the Democratic branch managers to turn over their offices just as county offices are turned over—the outgoing manager to make a receipt of property turned over to the new manager and then to keep a copy of the receipt himself, give the new manager a receipt and send another copy into the state office. The auditors were then to check the offices as soon as they could. “But many of the Democratic

this,” he said. “Is this to be the policy of the Indiana New Dealers—that harassment shall be the rule instead of the welfare of the government and the people?” he asked. “If that is to be the case, then the people will demonstrate their opposition to such a policy in no uncertain terms at the ballot boxes in November, 1942."
