Effective immediately as to eliminating gross rates, the order directed all utilities to file amended schedules or rates to conform to the new penalty rule by Feb. 1, 1934. A hearing on the proposition of eliminating gross rates was held by the commission a few weeks ago with utilities protesting.

More than 1,632 of the new annual gross income tax return blanks which will accompany payments to the state m January, have been received by John D. Rightsell, who is in charge of the local distribution point located at Greencastle. Estimates by the statistical department of the gross income tav division indict It that the number of blank.; now available 'here should be sufficiont to supply the needs of the taxpayers in tiiis community. However, no past records can be relied upon because in January every individual or business owing the state, must pay regardless of the amount due. The blanks will be filled out by every individual or business with re cepits in excess of $666.67 from May 1, 1933, to December 31, 1933, inclusive. Total receipts for the eight n-oir.hs must be shown on the blank, regardless of previous returns filed t r payments made Provision is made for the deduction of previous tax oeyments, if any. In the entire state, more than 350,ooo individual relums have bean dis-t-'bu’.ed in addition to 15,000 corporation returns and 15,000 partnership returns. Annual payments must be made by everybody before January 30, 1934. The amount of the payment is figured by deducting $666.67 or twothirds of the animal exemption, from the total receipts for the eight on which the report. are to be made and computing the 1 ix on the remainder. Those who have n eipts of less than $666.67 do not have to file -a leturn nor pay tax.
