INDIANAPOLIS, Jan 15—Leniency with distressed taxpayers, tempered witn the firm demand that deinquent taxes must be paid will be the rule of the 79th session of the Indiana general assembly by the terms of a tax moratorium bill which likely will reach the governor's desk today or Wednesday.

Although a moratorium bill Introduced in the senate and passed there under suspension of the rules, passed the house Monday, also under suspension of the rules, providing for a moratorium on the sale of delinquent tax property for the year 1935, the bill was to be reconsidered today, recalled and amended. As amended, it is likely the measure will provide for the moratorium on the sale of property on which taxes payable in 1935 are delinquent, and for a moratorium on the sale of delinquent tax property in 1936, provided the rurrent tax due in 1936 is paid. It is believed that the federal employment bill and other measures of the Roosevelt administration will be of such benefit that folks will be able to pay their taxes by 1936, as least current taxes, and it is not the opinion of administration leaders that moratorium on the sale of delinquent property should be extended beyond 1935 unless some attempt is made to catch up on these delinquencies. According to estimates of the assembly leaders, the cost of advertising the regular February sale of de linquent tax properties in Indiana approximates $250,000 in the state and the record in 1934 shows that not enough money was collected at delinquent tax sales to pay for these advertisements. Thus the act for the vear's moratorium will save this quarter of a million dollars to the tax payers. Discussion of the moratorium brought out the fact that there is a tendency among tax payers, corporate as well as Individuals, to take advantage of the moratorium when the tax payer is well able to pay the current or delinquent taxes and this fact prompted the decision to call a halt In 1936 and at least force payment of the first installment of the taxes payable In that year. The bill also will be amended to take care of the payment of Barrett law taxes. Representative Glenn Slenker, Republican, of Monticello, introduced a

Senator Chaster Watson, Democrat. of Ft. Wayne, who for several sessions, both in the house and senate has leeen champion of school book measures, introduced a bill in the senate Monday providing for a uniform list of text books in all high schools. i Representative William Black, of Anderson, introduced the administration bill providing for amendments to th<" old age pension bill as recommended by the governor. The j amendments would lower the age limit to those elfigible to old age pension from 75 to 65 years, make the minimum payments $15 and the maximum $25 and make the residence qualification 15 years in the slate and five years in the county. I’y setting out a maximum and minimum payment it is believed county commissioners can better determine the proper appropriation to be made to take care of old age pension apj hentiona.

Urge Reforms In

Car Plate Laws

INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 15—Four bills changing the state's automobile and drivers’ license laws were introduced in the house of representatives Monday. One, presented by Representatives H. H. Evans, republican, of Newcastle; David H. Byers, democrat, of Vincennes, and Fred Goddard, republican, of Rushville, would provide for at flat $4 license fee for all pleasure automobiles, Representative Evans said he hail obtained figures to show that 100,000 automobiles were kept in garages last year because owners were unable to pay the present license fee. He added that this bill was designed to get these cars on the highways where they would use additional gasoline thus adding to the state's revenue from the gasoline tax. Another bill, introduce*! by Representative Glenn R. Slenker, republican, of Monticello, would make all drivers’ licenses issued this year valid until Jan. 1, 1938, and would provide that after that new licenses

Administration leaders frown cept Marion county the person from on this measure for the reason there whom license plates would be obtainwould be no incentive for any tax- J ed. Revenue obtained from the notary payer to pay his current taxes at the fees would go into the county treasMay period in 1935 and government 1 uries and Representative Mi lbs said

cannot be conducted without collection of some taxes. This bill likely will receive the Indefinite postpone-

ment treatment.

Representative George Sands, of South Bend, introduced a bill in the senate today which would, in effect, legalize the wholesale and retail liquor business and the sale of retail liquor by the drink. The bill is sup-j

he believed this would be sufficient to pay the operating costs of the treasurer's office. The fourth measure—introduced by Representative Jacob Reisinger, democrat, of Evansville—would make legal any kind of an automobile title card holder.

ing to Sands, protect retail liquor, vendors who, he says, are liable to a daily fine of $1,000 under a federal statute for selling liquor in violation of state law. The bill, it is believed sets a ba*J precedent and very likely will not have benefit of the assembly consideration. The administration highway measure, giving the state highway com ' mission greater powers and amending the present highway law as to highway commission contracts as recommended by Governor McNutt in his message was introduced in the house of Representative Bathasar Hoffman, of Valparaiso. A bill, which from the speed with which it was reported out favorably from Judiciary A committee in the house, may receive favorable consideration, is one introduced by Representative Morris Goers, Democrat, of Indianapolis, hitting at the appliance business conducted by public utilities. The measure provides, “No public utility shall engage, directly or indirectly in ay subsidiary business other than its main or primary business and no public utility shall fum-' ish to Its patrons or to any other person applying therefor any service, 1 product or commodity, which it^ might otherwise create as necessary, 1 incident subsidiary to its main and primary business, other than a byproduct created by such utility in the natural course of its business." This would cut out the sale of appliances by electric and gas utilities, but would not affect the safe of coke by gas companies. In the case of the Indianapolis Power * Light compaily at Indianapolis, it would prevent that company from operating radio station YV’FBM which the power company owns.
