MY NEWSPAPER!'

'When a newspaper is missing, more often than not, a man will say, "Where's my newspaper?" "My," not "the"! You've heard him spy many times: "Now, my newspaper said . . "I read in my paper ..." ’\ '?■ ;■ : ' v A man's possessive about his newspaper. He takes pride in it. He gloats when his newspaper praises his favorite political candidate or sports team. Or, he groans when his newspaper b ‘ |. ' - - differs with his choice of personalities or issues. He'll even write the editor when he feels strongly about a difference of opinion. And, his wife feels just about the same. She looks forward to reading her pet features. Missing out on some ad or choice item of local news could "ruin" her shopping trip or leave her feeling left out during the chitchat over the bridge table. 5 T - . [ ■ 1 } ' i * . _ ' . ' V ' ' ' ' • } Both men and women want their newspaper. In fact, they insist on it. They are sorely disap- / • pointed and disturbed when their newspaper isn't on the front step when they want it. Ask any carrier boy. He can tell you, because he hears about it if q delivery is late or missed. This loyalty to a favorite newspaper didn't just happen. It came about because the newspaper is localized to meet a particular want and fill a definite need. And, because the newspaper fs viewed as a necessary companion and source of information, ft - - it makes a big difference in the lives of people of all ages, of all faiths and political prefer- ' ’ .f ences, of all levels of income and education.

A State house elevator operator told rfi.s he heard of a state where taxes are half as much as in Indiana. He could not remember which state.

Sales taxes are the biggest source of revenue of 30 states.) To my mind, display of a license plate Land of Taxes’’ is a lowJblow. Not only is it untrue compared to other states, but it creates doubt in mind of prospective industry that may locate here. Industry provides jobs and jobs aid prosperity. I wouldn’t be caught with such a sign on my car. I get a flood of propaganda advocating repeal of the Sales Tax. to replace it' with Net Income tax, and other tax schemes. One such is a red and white brochure entitled “Revolt in Indiana.” It says the Sales Tax is the straw that broke the Camel’s back. Also that Indiana’s Sales and Gross Taxes place Indiana second highest of 50 states. LET’S NOT fall victim to a delusion created by taking a small segment of Indiana taxes, such as Sales and Gross tax and drawing

from same an overall conclusion. The next State can tack on taxes, (some are hidden) that will completely offset any gain that would arise by doing away with Sales Tax. WHAT IS THE TRUTH about this anvil chorus over Indiana’s high taxes? What counts is the total number of tax dollars taken out of our pocket, rather than any one or two taxes. In comparison with five neighboring states, Hoosiers are neither bHfssed nor oppressed. On basis of each SI,OOO of personal income, Indiana ranks third, below Ohio ancf Illinois in tax' take. On a per-, capita (population) basis, Indiana again is third, j/ If 4we congiddr Indiana’s total percapita (population) tax, local, and state, it is $2lO. This puts Indiana 28th lowest among 50 states in this comparison. New York leads with $347. In comparison to the percapita tax, Indiana is $210; Wisconsin $267; Michigan $262; Illinois $24; Ohio $207 and Kentucky $157. Would be be better off taxwise, •without Sales Tax? With no disparagement to the Kentucky Blue Grass state, would we gain by moving there? Would you exchange the network of primary and secondaryimproved roads, our school standards and other benefits for those available in Kentucky? THE SALES TAX made a big number of Hoosiers who paid no property tax (and property tax is a major tax) share our tax load. It caught a lot of people using our facilities, moving across, in and out of jobs in our state, who paid no tax.

The Sales tax is a tax open to view, contrasted to hidden Gross tax. Asa result, politicians hesitate long about raising it. Other pastures may look greener. First consider a lot of angles. Is it not true prosperity in a state comes from industry providing jobs? Consider the number of jobs the state in which you intend to move, offers. What about the steadiness of employment in the state you plan to flee to? Indiana’s tax structure was evolved over years of study of groups representative of farm,ebusiness, and all segments of our population. The Sales Tax had two years of intense study before adopted in a Legislature. The exemption of groceries and drugs had been weighed. All states are raising taxes. Population explosion is one cause.

Taxes are high, are going to get higher as long as we demand a standard of living and services from our government, that we do now. There is no stale..,into wjjicii to flee to escape the crushing load ol taxes. To misjudge this is to be sorry later on. TWO CAR CRASH James Ernsberger Jr., 504 E. Walnut, and Goldie Ann Losee, 252 S. Summit, were involved in a two car accident at Walnut and 19 Tuesday. Ernsberger, going west on Walnut, drove ahead of Mrs. Losee who was going south on Main. The Losee car slid 50 feet. It hit the Ernsberger car. Both cars were damaged in the fenders, and the Losee car received damage to the hood and grill as well. RETURN FROM N.
