BACKED BY TAX ASSOCIATION.

Gemmill Senate Bill Passed by House on Final Day. The house late Monday passed the Gemmill senate bill, providing an appropriation of $5,000 to defray the expenses of a commission of live members serving without pay to be appointed by the governor to study the entire question of tax reform in Indiana and report to the governor, with recommendations, prior to the next session of the legislature. This bill was backed by the Indiana State Tax Association. The vote was 72 to 6 and only one representative, McGonagle, spoke on the measure. He outlined the needs for tax reform in Indiana and said this measure would aid the state in its plans to revise taxation schemes to distribute the tax burdens more equitably and justly.
