Sales Tax To 6o Into Effect On October 23

The state department of revenue plans to put the two per cent sales tax, declared constitutional last week, into effect at one minute past midnight on Oct. 23. Commissioners James Courtney said the tax may be collected after a 20-day period for an appeal for a rehearing made it possible to plan for the program to start operating at 12:01 a.m. October 23. However, whether the tax is collected beginning on that date depends entirely on what is done after a conference of Dallas Sells, president of the Indiana State AFL-CIO, and his attorneys and colleagues Monday morning. Sells said Thursday a decision would be made at that time whether to ask for a rehearing now or later in the 20-day grace period, whether to appeal to the U. S. Supreme Court, or whether to take no further stepts to impede the application of the tax. Sells filed suit last spring to have the tax law declared unconstitutional. Marion Circuit Judge John L. Niblack on June 14 ruled the law invalid and issued an injunction which prevented the state from collecting the tax beginning July 1 as specified in the law enacted by the 1963 Legislature after a marathon 100-day back-to-back regular and special sessions. Governor Welsh through special legal counsel fought to save the law although he and the Democratic Party said they did not favor it as a means of solving the state’s revenue problems. Meanwhile, school boards throughout the state advertised substantially higher local property tax rates for education because of the prospect of a sharp decline in state aid because of Niblack’s decision. Unofficial estimates are that if the tax is imposed October 23, the prospects of state aid will improve to the point that the 1964 school tax rates can be lowered up to $1 or more from advertised levels, j
