INDIANA COUNTS FLOOD DAMAGE
4 Per Cent of State’s Farmland Is Toll Set hy
Local Officials.
Indiana today began counting its flood losses, especially the damage to crops, to determine what effect it will have on the state's food production. At a meeting here yesterday, the local department of agriculture war board estimated that 540,000 acres of Indiana's crops were under water at various times during the flood. This represents about 4 per cent of the state's crops. Red Cross officials estimated that 3500 homes in the state were flooded and that more than 3700 families were routed from their homes. Farm lands and homes in southwestern section of Indiana which are still under water were not included in the surveys. Hundreds of acres of land and scores of homes were still under water around Vincennes and in Posey county around Mt) Vernon and New Harmony where the Wabash river water was still raging at dangerous heights.

Tax Compromise Provides Only a Change in The Method.
WASHINGTON, May 26 (U. P.) — Taxpayers were reminded again today that even if the current pay-as-you-go tax compromise becomes law there will be no perceptible change in the amount of taxes to be paid, no “free” year of taxes—only a change in the method of payment. For example, it was reported that some taxpayers have the erroneous impression that 75 per cent forgiveness means that since they have paid one quarter's tax on 1942 income they can just forget the other three quarters. On the contrary, under the new program, if adopted, taxpayers will pay as usual the June 15 installment on their 1942 income tax. It and the one paid on March 15 will be credited to the tax on 1943 income, taking care of the first half of the year in the ideal case. The last half of the tax on 1943 income will be collected through the 20 per cent withholding tax to start July 1. At the end of the year, the taxpayer will have to make up the

Such estimates would be required from all single taxpayers expecting to earn $3500 or more, regardless of dependency status.
