INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 26 Economy measures which will offset any possible increase in the budget bill occasioned by compliance with fed- ! oral statutes, are being sought by U e legislature at this stage of the J session, in an effort to prevent any ! ad I'tion to the tax burden According to estimates of the Indiana Taxpayers Association, the bill I requiring county councils to budget the gasoline tax money returned to | the counties, if passed, will save from | $3,000,000 to $4 000 000. Like meas- | ores are being sought and the legisI la live calendar is being combed to lining these measures to the front In I addition, additional revenue from other sources than direct taxation
is being sought.
It was pointed out today by the , i,‘ale hoard of accounts that the 1935 1 I tidget bill will necessarily show u ! higher total than the 1933 bienniol budget for the reason that new dejoaitments created in 1933 bore spei eific appropriations which were not ’ carried in the budget bill. These ap- : propriations this year, however, will !»• budgeted. For the department of income tax. total expenditures this [last year were $288 377; the excise
