THE LIGONIER BANNER

LIGONIER.NOBLE COUNTY, INDIANA. THURSDAY, JUNE 4. 1936

G. 0. P. PLATFORM “OPEN”

Spaces Left for Planks to Be Supplied by Governor Nominee Springer,

The republican state convention approved a platform fashioned by its architects to permit the placing of additional planks by the party’s candidate for governor, Raymond S. Springer. , The platform, prepared by a committee headed by Arthur K. Remmel of Fort Wayne, purposely avoided, its framerg said, writing ‘“pieces of legislation” but built up a structure to which could be added planks of the nominee’s own handiwork. The platform pledged repeal of the state gross income law and would replace the law with a net income tax law “supplemented by such equitable taxes as will not further burden real estate.” Further on the subject of taxation the platform declared: “The way to reduce taxes ig to reduce expenditures and to this policy we pledge the “Republican party of Indiana.” The liquor question found a place in the platform one plank condemning the present control law. The plank declared for the principle ot; home rule in dealing with the liquorquestion. ; : Another plank pledged removal of the emergency provision from the law which limits the tax rate to $1.50 per $lOO of taxable property in cities and $1 in rural communities Under the emergency provision county tax adjustment boards may increase the levy above the limits of $1.50 and $l. ‘

The Republicans alto vroposed elimination of the present state tax levy of approximately 12 cents on property to provide revenue for the comrmon school relief fund and the state general fund. To aid local communities in paying salaries of their school teachers the platform pledgeg “not less than $6OO for each gchool teacher” "to be paid by the state. In view of the fact that the national convention is yet to be held, the platform did not deal at lenzth with national affairs but included declarations favoring the maintenance of a sound money system‘ ard constitutional control.
