New Taxes Scheduled By The Legislature “Soak everybody" stems to be the legislative tax thetae of the Schricker state administration. Instead of carrying out platform and campaign promises of tax reduction. Governor Schricker's program in the current legislature now takes" in two more new tax burdens—two news ones in addition to some others which came out In the first lew weeks of the general assembly. One of these new burdens la a 1-eent idcrease in gasoline tax. The other is an Interstate commerce tax on business, making taxable its raw materials shipped in from put of state and applying again to goods sold outside Indi--4 ana. This would extend coverage of the gross Income tax law and it strikes hard because, with Indiana industries competitive with those in other states, unemployment can result by Indiana plants going out of business. The gasoline increase, pushed by the Democratinc state administration in the legislature, was held under cover for the first few weeks of the session. If it passes it will join with the Schricker gross Income tax Increase as affecting the broadest possible cross section of Indiana residents. That’s the way to “soak everybody, increasing taxes to hit the largest number of people possible. The gross Income tax Increase Is the Democrats’ Idea for financing the veterans’ bonus bill —a flat % of 1 per cent increase on all existing gross Income tax rates. Thia means a rate increase of 100 per cent for farmers. 50 per cent for retailers and 25 per cent for wage earners These new higher tax rates of the Schricker administration are more repudiations of his and his party’s promises to lighten the tax bill. Governor Schricker previously threw out last fall s promises to repeal the clgaret tax and to repeal the state government’s 15-cent property tax rate. The veterans’ bonus bill is now in the state senate where the Republican majority has other ideas developing about how to finance payments to veterans. The bonus bill passed the house of representatives only after the Democratic command there backed down from its throttling of the Republican minority. The 40 house Republicans walked out during consideration of the bill when Speaker Robert Heller. Democrat refused to recognise Republican members offering amendments to the bill. Speaker Heller, ruling arbitrarily on a voice vote, gavelled the bill on to third reading. At the same time he refused to recognise several Republicans on their feet with amendments in their hands. The Republicans as a protest of the denial of their Tights promptly walked out of the house chamber, breaking a quorum. After a noon-time, two-hour delay ' the Democratic command backed down from its illegal action and agreed to put the bill hack on second reading and aet on all Republican amendments. The Republican minority then moved back to its seats, restored a quorum and won its constitutional right to be heard. The event followed on the heels of Governor Schricker calling Democrat house leaders to his office to crack the whip for passage of the bonus bill in the house with its gross income tax provisions. He was forced to act because so much dissatisfaction existed in the Democratic side of the Jiouse over financing sections of Hie bill and its falling short of paying the bonus Immediately. As a matter of faet the bill’s provisions as it left the house means that the bonus cannot be paid for six or eight years. Representative W. (k x Hughea, Ft. Wayne. Republican floor leader in the house, led the walkout. A day later when the house ph the bill on to the senate he filed a protest in the house journal over the bill's weak provisions. He deplored the several year delay in paying the bonus and said the additional gross income tax levied in it only aggravates a tax which already is unfair. Senator Wesley Malone. Republican of Clinton, commented on the floor of the state senate that the Governor's pressure on house Democratic leaders to force ns—sge of the veterans’ bonus bill Without amendments from the floor was “boesism". "The Governor sent for bis Democrat leaders in the house to (Continued on last page)

BUSI NESS BETTER HERE FOR PANT -MONTH Many Syracuse advertisers in The Journal report that February business was better than for the month of January. As spring advances a more cheerful outlook is in sight. Farm prices are apparently stabilised and due for a raise, after . dropping from a high mark last year. The building industry will absorb a great deal of labor this ; spring. Many Syracuse business firms are offering the lowest priced I merchandise in many years in I The Journal, and have met with I favorable reaction from buyers. | A poll of Syracuse merchants by the Wawasee Conservation I Club shows that only two defin- I itely do not want a street fair ' and various rides for kiddies and grown-ups.

' 4 A M* "TA LEVERETT MITCHELL hm CiiibiWiiw, Amgh SrttnUi’. •• WMAQ, Chicayo. *7O «• ynu «h»L THERE’VE been a lot of letters from farm and city folk alike asking us to serve a reminder that as a result of the recent snow and ice atorms, the food situation is critical for birds. Some birds have been especially bard hit by the snow and ice combinations. Smaller birds had been able to subsist primarily on seed ; from foxtail and other standing t grasses, but the heavy snows virtually have cut off that supply. It’s a little early to tell what effect the storms will have on game birds since the threat to them depends on continued winds and blowing snow in the storm areas. Snow blown into the feathers, then partially melted by body heat, can turn to ice. This possibility, along with snow in the throat and nostrils, can cause serious damage to the wildlife bird population. The food problem win become worse if cold weather continues and the snow doesn't melt for any period of time It is in this light that we suggest that farmer* living in open areas where the pheasant and quail population is heaviest, take several ears of earn and scatter the kernels *u places where birds are likely to take shelter. Emergency food measures taken in the more urgent songbird situation will help both in the cities and on the farms. Cracked corn, brea t crumbs, rolled oats and other cereals make good feed for smaller birds. Nut meats and suet are especially good for birds, such »s our friend the woodpecker, who require a high protein diet Food should be placed where t is not available to the English spsr row, for not only win this bird e<*. the food, but it will drive the othe*birds away.

COUNTY REIMIRTS GIVEN IN THE JOURNAL For the first time in history (we believe) north Kosciusko county citizens are given a report on the activities of their county officials, in this issue of The ; Journal. We are publishing these facts without pay. because we believe citizens here should know i where their tax money goes. The county pays for notices such as these in TWO Warsaw papers, but never spends a dollar for any legal notice in any other Kosciusko county town. / The report shows receipts and expenditures of all county offices. It shows what is received from the state for school, welfare, etc. It shows what is spent on gravel roads, ditches, and all other county and township departments. A statement of the poor account of the various townships of the county is also given. Salaries of the various county officials and i office ,expenses are shown.

Yellowjackets Favored To Win Tourney Local fans are picking the Syracuse Yellow jackets to win the Warsaw sectional this week-end, believing that the members of the S.H.S. team have “hit their stride” at tourney time. Syracuse has a season’s record of 11 wins and six losses, and has been showing up well tn recent games. The wins over Cromwell and Ligonier were extremely gratifying. The tourney schedule this week end is also doped to favor Syracuse. Syracuse is in the top half of the pairings, while most of the leading tourney threats are paired together in the lower half. Thus' Syracuse has an easier path (os paper at least) to reach the finals. The Yellow jackets have plenty of size, can score heavily, and have gained a great deal of experience. The tourney schedule follows: Wednesday—7:oo, Etna Green and Claypool: 8:15, Beaver Dam and Larwill. Thursday — 7:00, Burket and Sidney; 8:15, Syracuse and Atwood, Friday—B:3o. Silver Lake and Leesburg; 9:45, Milford and North Webster; 11:00, Pierceton and Mentone; 1:30. Columbia City and Warsaw. Officials—Dwight Byerly Chas. Bobilya. H. F. McNaught. Leonard Lupoid. JTI AHEAD GEORGE & BENSON Prald<*t—Har4i»j Cflltft ■ Start f. Ariatftt A Fresh Start for Labor Our unions have been accused of “Communism" many times in recent years. Sometimes the charge has not stood up under close examination. At other times, labor organizations have faced the music and set about the job of cleaning out dangerous. un-American elements. A recent decision of the CIO rank and file to clean house is an example of the latter. Philip Murray and others helping tn this unsavory task surely r-erit our full support Clever But Risky Most of us little know what masters the Communists are at clever organization They do make good union workers If they can find a union whose leadership is untrained, or members uninterested, they know how to take over The Communists want to use labor unions as outlets for their propaganda They want new recruits. Naturally, they want to have access to union funds From union treasuries can come paychecks for faithful, advt nce-agents of Comma.nism! Moreover, a union base for operations is just what the agents of Communism want most. This gives them a chance to see what they can do to insure failure for the enterprise system. With the reins of union leadership in their hands, it is no trouble at all to make excessive demands upon employers, to stir up unjustified strikes and slowdowns. Industrial espionage for Russia is easy then, and in case of war. sabotage can be undertaken. Subversive Boast These are some of the reasons why we must get behind Phil Murray and the CIO in their effort to oust fifth columnists tram their unions. More than that, we must become acquainted with the ways of the Communist You know, American Communists have boasted that a dozen non-Communlsts stand req£y to do the work and the bidding of each party member. Thia means that well-intentioned persons may find themselves doing things just the way the Communists want them done. We must be alert for the Communist attitude, as well as tor the Communist himself. In every community. good citizens, we must watch for the fellows that want to sow discord and plant the seeds of strife. If there’s honest disagreement, or differences of opinion, we are free to discuss these over the conference table. When we’re unwilling to do that, we may be boosting the stock of the Communists in our own America. Which Team? Here’s what I mean by the Communist attitude A certain California union organizer said he operated in this manner: No negotiations during a dispute until the management is made to took bad to the public, in every way. This labor official frankly stated he would not begin negotiations until the point to reached where management appeared in the eyes at toe public to be selfish, greedy, crooked. Then, said tbe organizer, when labor was shown to be helpless and in need of protection, he was ready for conferences. Like this labor | man, there are those who somej Mmes fail to see which team they're on. The pity to that so many land themselves to the purpose of those ‘ who would destroy America and all that labor stands for. i Have yve bean! Pr. Bmmu aadjto radio drama “Land of foe Frse"?
