ECIIPSES TAN RELIEF ACTION Amendments To Aleasure AAill Be I’i ..pi sed By Senatcrs. Bill On Second Reading. INDIANAPOLIS. Aug 10, (UP)— Prohibition, still the nemesis of legislatois, again edipsed all tax economy proposals in the Indiana legislature

! today.

The senate had before it as a special erder of business the house bill for repeal of the AN right “bone dry law. It was o.-. second reading, sub-je-t to nmendmefi:-. Senator James | Ntjdi, Rep., Whiting, piesented the j motion that again brought the rej peaier before the legislature. It was learned .hat one of the first amendments proposed would be offered by three senators seeking to revise the e tire repeal measure ami | substitute for it a referendum mea- | sure Supporting the amendment j were Frank S uthwerth, Rep., Plymouth; Ralph Adams, Rep., Shelbyville, and Glenn Slenker, Rep., Monti-

1 cello.

The amendment woul i provide that at the next geneial election voter* rln.ulil express their opinion squarely Ion prohibition. They would vote on 1 whether they favor “repeal of the Indiana prohibition enforcement act” or “modification of the Indiana prohibij tion enforcement act.” Souihworth said he believed the referendum proposal would meet with more general approval than legislative action to repeal the Wright law. Two important relief measures were scheduled for consideration today One was the potent tiuck measute, which would place a tax of 5 mills a ton-mile on licenses for busses and trucks operating in Indiana, payable to the public service commission. Ih . tlier was the Rvan measure deigi. i to inject “teeth” into the gasoline 'ax law and curb gasoline bootlegging. Meanwhile legislators groped for new revenue sources to replace funds 11 tain to be removed by the new $1 50 tux limitation law. Although t . house pushed through an amendinent to the Chamber- budget restriction measure w’hich would remove the :tingent features of the limitation nil), n special senate committee prepared a report on a method of balancing the budget. Ihe hoii-e amendment was sponMired by Delph McKesson, Plymouth, Democratic flcoi ba ler. Whereas the law n " providt s that t .e state levy may 11.4 exceed 15 cents, the amendment would provide that it could be mciea-ed by thi state tax board, with thi nppioval f the governor and the state auditor. With a provision included in thi . law itself t 1 breaking ovei the $1.50 late by a| ; aling to the -pe la! lax iljustmcnt board set up by the law, it appealed tout ‘he -harp e iges of th measure might be -moothed to permit local units to set their levies at whatever figuie ne, essary for opcration. Tne special senate committee was to meet with repiesentatives today. In a meeting last night, the committee inclined toward a -ales tax as the solution of the deficit A gross income tax, however, was piopo-ed by Lonzo Lindley, Rep, Sharpsville. His plan was to levy a 3 8 cent tax on all incomes. He estimated that a coie-cent tax would yield $20,000,000, ami that the .3-8 cent tax would make up the $6,000,000 lemoved tiom tax duplicates by the $150 tax limitation measure
