MUST PAY INCOME TAX

State Appellate Court Gives. Opinior: -~ Affeets $75,000 Helg In Escrow

An opinion of the state appellate court held that farm bureau co‘operative associations are required to pay the viate gross income tax. The opinion,written by Judge Posey Kime, wag made in a case in which the Jasper County Farm Bureau Co-operative Association, Inc ‘sought a declaratory judgment getting out that it was exempt from payvent of the tax. : Approximately $75,000, held in escrow pending outcome of the case will be paid as result of the decision, unless an appeal is taken to the supreme court.

The tax was paid under protest by 67 co-operative assoziations and held ‘mr a separate fund hy the tax division (larence A. Jacksosn, director, said. Cther co-operatives had paid the tax without protest, he said. : The case first was heard in Marion jéperior court, over which Mayor hn W. Kern of Indianapolis then wag presiding judg:. He ruled in favor of the co-oneratives. Judge - Kime's decision held that the assocfationg sold to patrons at regular market prices and at the close of the year the status of the business was determined by taking the difference between tae cost of ‘the materials handled and¢ the sale ‘price to purchasers. - The balance ‘wag passed on to the patrons in the form of common stock certificates. The court set oa' that while the organization was not operating for vrofit itself, the patrong derived an income from the tramsactiou, thereby cnhaneing their income. -~ Statement Recently Issued That the dependable serivces rendered by the railroadg in the transportation of passengers, freight, express and mails represent only a part of the benefits of the railroads to the communities which they serve is strikingly shown by a statement of expenditureg just issued by the Iliinoig Central System. >

Last year thig railway system spent $1,020,907 in Indiana for wages, raterials, supplies, taxes and other tems.

Providing employment to an average of 421 workers in Indiana, the railroad paid out $560,848 in wages in the state last year, - .

The railroad’s next largest outlay was for fuel, materials and supplies. For these items the Illinois Central spent $330,327 with 20 Indiana firms last year. A large part of this sum went to pay the wazes of industrial workers in the state. :

State, county and loca! governments and other taxing bodies in Indiana received $96.451 in taxes from the Illinois Central last year A substantial part of this sum wen® to support the public schoolg and maintain the public highways. An additional $33,300 was spent by the Illinois Central in Indiana last year for water, electricity, telephone service, rentals and. pensions. ' The Illinois Central is a property avner and taxpayer in 11 counties of Indijana. and its 1925 expeditures for all itemg were spread cver 23 coun--lirg of the gtate. A

To Reduce Accident Toll. More than $7,000,000 will be spent in Indiana during the next year in an effort, to reduce the number of grade crossing accidents. ' Indiana, with 287, was third among the states in the number of ‘railroad train crashes last year. Illinois led with 422, and Ohio with 349. t At the beginning of 1935, there were 824,320 grade crossings in the United States. Sixty-five per cent of which are classified by tre niterstate commerce commission as “not specially protected.” Indiana with 10,427 crossings, had 8,075 which were reported by the commission as “not specially protected.” :

Only crossing equipped with gates, watchmen, audible or visible signs or both were considered adequately “,protected.' i There were 3,900 motor vehicle accdents at grade crossings in -the Dnited. States in 1935, resulting in '1,442 deaths and ‘injuries to 4,404 persons. ‘ - Grade crossing accidents averaged 'l.B per 100 crossings for the entire country during 1935. In Indiana, the figure was 2.7.

CAMPAIGN TO BE HOT.

Rooesvelt’s Aldes Assall Governor Alg M. Landon as “The Man Nobody Knows.

President Roosevelt will plunge immediately into hig re-election campaign after his expected renominaton at Philadelphia,.. White House plans revealed today.

Plang call for a major political address at the Monticello home of Thomas Jefferson uear Charlot'cville Va., July 4. It will be his answer to Gov. Alf. M. Landon’s statement that “to me the fight is on.” Prior to the convention Mr. Roose*velt will remain in Washington to pilot congress through the adjournment rapids and prepare his acceptance speech to be made at Franklin Field, Philadelphia, probably June 26 or 27. 'While the Democratic national con‘vention waits to make Mr. Roosevelt Gov. Landon’s official opponent for the presidency, others engaged In sharp gkirmishes in which the Kansas governor was the cenmntral figure. Postmaster General James A. Farley, who also is Democratic national committee chairman, and San. Geo. W. Morris, nominally a repubiican, assailed Landon ag ‘“the man nohczdy knows,” John Hamilton, mewiy-elect-ed G. 0. P. national chairmah replied sharply. — Farley, speaking in New York, said the fact that the G. O. P. nominated an “unknown” was proof that the delegates to the Cleveland conventio'r were taking orders from “representa ties of special interests.” He described the Repubilcan platform as composed of “counterfeit new deai” planks. - . Worris in a radio address said the Cleveland convention demonstrated it believed in “Hoover principles of govermment” and that republicans had the courage of their convictions they wonld have nominated Mr. Hoover for president.

He echoed Farley’'s reference tn Cov. Landon as “the greatest mystery candidate” and described the Kanass governor as a man ‘“whose grea'est asset s that nobody knows him and nobody knows what he stands for.” While Norris made definite his 1936 bolt from the Republican. party. Sen. William E. Borah, Republican, Idaho, remained silent as to his plans. The Idahoan, resentful of Gov. Landon's personal reservations on the G 0. P. platform, said he would wait until be returns home before making ‘known his campaign plans. Hamilton who piloted Gov. Landon to the republican nomination, lashed back at Farley, who he 3ald, was frightened and disappointed” over the nomination of the Kansas governor. : “He seemg irritated that the party did not mccept his impartial advice, and he expresses his jrritation in his usual intemperate language,” Hamilton said.

A $1,280,000 federal allowance for grade crossing elimination in Inciana will be available July 1, 1937, John W. Wheéler meémber of the state highway commission announced.

Plang for absorbing this amount Lhave not been worked out 2t yet but fhe present gralle crossing e!imination program will be carried on, Wheeley satated. : fF The normal federal aid and farm-to-market allotments—to be used on highiways approved by the federal government and which must be match ed by state funds—also will be avallable in July. 5

HIGHLIGHTS OF G.O.P. PLATFORM

Pertiment Points On Which Republicang Wil Carry On - Campaign

Here are the pertiment points on whiah the Republican party will campaign for the election of a Republicdn president in November. The powers of congress have been usurped by the President.

The integrity and authority of the supreme court have been flaunted.

Regulated monopoly has displaced free enterprise. It (the New Deal) has been guilty of frighatul wagte and extravagance, using public funds for partisan pol'tical purposes. It has bred fear and hesitation in commerce and indastry, thus discosraging new enterprises, preventing un employment and prolonging the depresson. It has coerced and intimidated voterg by withholding relief to those opposing itg tyrancal policies. Appeals to passion and class prejudice have replaced reason and tolerance.

The party pledges itself to resist all attempts to impair the authority of the supreme court. : To preserve the American system of free enterprise, private competition and equality of opportunity and to seek its constant betterment In the interests of all. On re-employment the party advocated; Removal of restrictions oa production. {Withdrawal of government from competition with private pay rolls. Elimination of unncessary and hampering regulations. Relief:

The return of responsibility for reliet administration to nompolitical local agencies familiar with community problems. Federal grants-in-aid to the states. A prompt detremination of the fadts

Safety Rules

Simple safety ruleg to pretect other cars and pedestrians, are given ou & poster size sheet gshown by Ford deal ers to the general public. Here they are:

At !ntersections never Dasg a car as a pedestrian hidden from you may step ouj in front of you. Maintalw your pace the same as the car Deside you until past in‘ersection. Wateh out for pedesarians who walk between parked cars and inte traffic lane. Speeds above 15 miles per hour when passing parked cars are very dangerous. Always _walk on the left and face the oncoming cars when you are afoot on the road, and step off the pavement if necessary. At night this is most important because a driver, blinded by lights of an approach ing ear, may not see a pedestrian, Alwayg cary a light oy white object like a handkerchief so drivers can see you.

Use passing lights when meeting other cars at night, You can see better and so can the other drivers. Do so when overtaking another -car so its driver will not be blinded by your lights in his rear yiew mirror. The same courtesy should be extended to the drivey who has passed. : Watch road shoulder wher passing other cars at night. Turning tha eyes to the right cuts out glare from the headlights of other others and improves your own vision.

Changing tires on road -Aiways pull off the pavement to make 'h@ changes, and be sure not to stand in front of :?qr tail light at night. Pull to the right if it isaright hand tire to be changed. But if a left hand tire, pull across and park om the wrong side of payment. This will keep you out of traific while making the change. Turn off or dim your headlights if at night.
