Estimate $9 Million

Revenue for State

By BOYD GILL United Press Staff Writer Hoosier cigaret smokers, wholesalers, retailers and the state got ready today for costlier tobacco come July 1,

On that date, a new tax of 8 cents

8 pack-—30 cents a carton-—becomes effective on all cigarets sold in the state. For pack-a-day smokers, it will mean the cost of smoking goes up $1095 a year—unless the user cuts down on his inhaling. . For the wholesaler, it will mean extra work’ affixing tax stampssand acting as go-between in handling funds paid by the consumer to the state, For the retailer, ¥ will mean a eigaret inventory June 30 and the chore of putting tax stamps on all packs on hand that date. For the state, it will mean an additional $0 million a year revenue for the general fund and the operation of a new administrative department. Administration of the cigaret tax, imposed by the 1947 legislature at the request of Governor Gates, was placed in the hands of the alcoholic beverage commission. The ABC appointed Henry L. Myers, Indianapolis, as cigaret tax department ‘director. Mr. Myers said today his department was busy as a bee. It is issuing registration certificates, with order blanks for stamps, to wholesalers. It has bought 60 million stamps to fill orders received from wholesalers. Registration Fee $500 A registration fee of $500 for all wholesalers who sell cigarets in Indiana will bring the state nearly $100,000. Mr. Myers estimated that 175 applications would be made. He said n:ost wholesalers were install-

ing meter machines for stamping

the individual packs, - The 60 milHon stamps ordered by the state are for wholesalers who will put the stamps on by hand. The money the state gets from the new tax was earmarked for “general education, general and mental health and other general weifare purposes as the governor may direct.” But it was not limited to these purposes and obviously could be used for most anythieg. Cigar and pipe smokers were free of the new tax, but smokers wno roll their own came in for a small tax. The law puts a one-half cent tax on a book of 50 cigaret papers and 1 cent tax on a hook of 100.’ The majority of Hoosier smokers won't be able to escape a tsate tax by crossing state lines. There's a tax in Ohio, Kentucky and Illinois. Michigan, however, has no specific cigaret tax.

Democrats Gird For Fall Battle

Leaders Lay Plans For Feeney Campaign Democratic leaders here are checking their machinery early this year in preparation for the mayoralty battle next fall. County Democratie Chairman Walter Boetcher announced that a city campaign committee will be appointed next week to direct the battle of ballots for Al G. Feeney, the party's nominee for mayor. The committee plan was adopted this week after party leaders finally rejected the idea of having a city chairman head the drive. Earlier, party leaders proposed appointment of a city chairman to aid Chairman Boetcher. Meanwhile, Mr. Boetcher appoint- | ed Paul Cave, furniture dealer at 34th and Clifton sts., as Democratic central committee treasurer, filling the vacancy caused by the resignation of Charles Greathouse Jr. The chairman named Dave J. Deets, advertising man and party | worker as Marion county chairman of the young Democrats’ organiza-| tion. |

William Daugherty, a salesman and party worker, was named to]

the party.

Mr. Shideler began his soilless gardening several years ago, growing

tomato plants in mason jars. His present method, more complicated, takes care of his 48 plants in a space only 3% by 10 feet. “You can use any one of several systems,” he explains.© “You just need a tank of some sort to hold the chemical solution around the plans, a method of flooding fit around the roots, a way to drain it off, and some neutral growing medium to support the plants.” Has Automatic Pump He built his preesnt “tank” of wood, lining it with roofing paper coated with hot gsphalt to make it

he says. Plants growing in the ground pick up from the soil chemicals like boron and manganese that they* need very little of. But in soilless culture even these trace elements must be supplied. Some of the necessary chemicals are the everyday drugstore variety like salt peter and epsom salts. But to these you must add a phosphate, zine, copper and several others necessary for a balanced tomato diet. Starts Watermelons

Nearly 600 Handed Their Diplomas

By LOUIS ARMSTRONG Indianapolis veterans won a victory in education at city- high schools this year, J Nearly 600 youths who took part in world war II, many of whom saw the worst horrors of overseas

| conflict, received diplomas from the

seven local institutions. After two years of peace few remain who have not fullfilled high school requirements or recéived a special diploma of equal value, Fear Groundless Two years ago many educators were concerned over the prospect of young men, Steeped in worldly experiences, returning to their homes and enfering public schools. They thought younger students might be harmfully influenced by association. A survey here disclosed that this fear did not materialize. “It was really interesting to work with them,” said one Indianapolis teacher, a veterans’ councilor, He pointed out that the ex-service youths seem to have a better insight into the values of education than most, of the other students. It was the general concensus that veterans worked harder and approached their studies with a more serious attitude than others, ; Grades Improve And their military training seemed to have had a helpful effect on their efforts’ Most teachers agreed the veterans did better work and made higher grades than when they were in school before. Technical high school presented 170 diplomas to veterans, Washington 115, Shortridge 72, Manual 67, Crispus Attucks and Broad Ripple 54 each, and Howe 35. Most of these diplomas were given upon completion of general educational development tests and the recipients did not necessarily attend the full year of school. However, more than 100 veterans completed their high school work and received regular high school diplomas. Most Seek Jobs Some of the veterans will go on to college but most will find jobs in Indianapolis. The teachers say they adjusted themselves easily to their old school

chemicals. “There's no magic method,” says Mr, Shideler, “but it’s really easy to do.” Is it too late to make a vegetable garden? asks a reader whose plot is still too wet to plough. No, it certainly isn’t. But late starters will do well to concentrate on a smaller planting. Chief dangers of crops failing to mature a good harvest before frost lie in dry spells (don’t laugh!) that will slow up growth during summer, and -in poor soil that also means slow growth. Use Fertilizer So plant a smaller garden, prepare rows carefully with fertilizer, or preferably manure, compost, or good top soil brought from fence rows. Then mulch as soon as plants are up to save this moisture we've got too much of now. Beets, carrots, green and lima beans, corn, cucumbers, melons late potatoes, and plants of cabbage, tomatoes, and broccoli are a few of the crops you can mature. Not for beginners: Any plant that has blossomed immediately puts all its little energies into making seed. So if you want more Howes on columbines or zinnies or any other plant, just keep the dead flowers picked off. The poor plant, thus thwarted, wil] try again.
