WHAT, MORE TAXES? With municipal and county taxes climbing in every community in the state, the harassed taxpayer is getting little consideration from' the Statehouse, where the Gates administration .is cooking1 up a series of new taxes for recommendation to the 1947. Indiana General Assembly. Already,' John H. Lauer, . state .highway commission chairman, is beating the legislative tom-tom for an increase cf one-cent in gasoline gallonage tax to bring that fee to five cents a gallon. - . The Governor also has ani idea tha cigarette tax perhaps as much as five cents, a package" would be a good thing to add to the already over-burdened taxpayer. - It gees without saying that such taxes would affect a maximum of Iloosier citizens, but the "get-the-money" crowd should be reminded that by the same token, they wil antagonize" a maximum of voters. 5 The proposed "cigarette tax is viewed by many as a "foot-in-the-door" move for an Indiana 4alesJ tax, a form of taxation that long has been distasteful to Hoosiers. They have shewn, on many occasions that they do not care for tax tokens or the. added cost to each and every purchase they make. The hightfiiy commission chairman has been quoted as sayingustmeiit ', caj. not carry out its construction 0Afmtmi with prospective revenue from gasoline and auto., registi'ation fees.This statement is made m the-"face of a report of the Indiana petroleum industries committee, which estimates the gas tax will add $30,000,000 to the state highway fund tlr's year on the basis of figures for the first six months. That figure is 38 above the receipts for the last peacetime collectiqn.-in pre-Gates 1941. The administration, which, of course, is Governor Gates, seems to think the average Hoosier.has little or no memory. To refresh these flagging memories we quote briefly from the Governor's special tax message to the 1945 Indiana general assembly.: v . , . '. "I do not favor new taxes except for two purposes that of postwar construction, mainly in the established state institutions, or for the relief or rehabilitation of returning veterans.". Much "relief and rehabilitation," no doubt, would be derived from a gasoline tax boost for Mr. Lauer's commission. 1 Later in his tax message, the Governor proclaimed: "I hope I am wrong when I say, in all frankness, that I can now ;see but little opportunity for matching expenditures with current income in the next biennium. . . . We must cut to the bone all but essential services. We must hold the line against increased spending. . . . We must fifjht against reduction of our working balances. We must effect sound economies." "Sound economies" simply, are not effected byincreased or new taxation. .. V-

Miss Hart said, "You give that polisher back to Virginia."

"These aren't mine," Virginia said.

VIRGINIA was sitting in a wicker chair in the day-' room at Juniper Hill. She was always tired. But Miss Hart asked, "How would you like to use the polisher?" She would have to say, yes. The polisher had a long handle with a heavy weight at the end which was wrapped in gray blanket material. The idea was to push it slowly over the linoleum. This was considered a privilege. Whenever anyone' took, the polisher away from Virginia, she was grateful. But Miss Hart always returned and shouted, "You give that polisher back to Virginia." : . . . . There had been days outside when she had longed to make her mind blank forget all of the little worries. Here at Juniper Hill she got her wish and learned that having a blank mind while awake is a terrifying, exper

ience. She wonld be sitting in the dayroom and it would be early morning and then suddenly time to go to bed. She could not remember what had happened in between. But she did remember that they had promised to give her her glasses. She. asked Miss Hart, "I wonder if I might get my glasses soon?" , , ; ' . ' . . ' . Miss Hart boomed for her to come along to the office. A' moment later, ' Virginia had her glasses. "You see," said the nurse, "all you have to do is ask. Don't be shy." Virginia put the glasses on and the walls of the room whirled. "These aren't mine." she said. "Got ydur name on them," said Miss Hart. Sure enough, on one shaft, on a bit of adhesive was V. Cuhninghairi irt fine black printing.-The nurse said, "If they aren't right, you mustn't wear them."

' The girl said, "I recognize you.'

Virginia put them on again. "Oh, they are fine," she said quickly. .And after a while, her eyes responded to the old discipline. The floor tilted but did not revolve. ' Only, it was dreadful what the glasses did in the dining room and she could really see her table companions. A new girl, Margaret, who sat across from her, waited after thr meal.. "You are my sister, aren't you?" she whispered anxiously. , "Well," Virginia said, "perhaps we are sisters of a sort. Yes, there is sort of a relationship." . Margaret perked up. "I knew," she said. "I recognized you right away even though you have been dead so many years." It was no use to talk to these women; they were crazy. Virginia stslked away but soon she was doling out cigarettes ...
