Must PIT income.

Must PIT income.
Members Of the senate and house
appropriation committees, after being
called on the carpet" by Governor
Gardner for preparing bills appropri
ating approximately $17,000,0O0 when
the estimated revenue of the state for
the biennial period is only SIS, 900 900,
made an Intellectual attempt to cut
100000 from the bills.
The governor told members of the
committee that he would not sign bills
in excess of the estimated revenue,
and that IL they did not make the re-
duction he would make it by vetoing
ittR,s OF the bills.
The senate committee wanted to be-
gin cutting on the educational insti-
tutions bill, which already has passed
the house, but the house committee
would not consider it. Many more
conferences will be held.
No one knows just at present how
much revenue the new laws will pro-
vide, out there is sure to be some dis
appointment Only a small part of
tue increased automobile tax will be
available this year, but all of it will be
available next year, when the greatest
demands will be made on it.
The corporation tax bill will pro-
duce just one-haf of what the gov.
ernor intended, If the senate adheres
to its amendment, as it doubtless will.
This fixes the tax at so cents on each
1000 of capital stock and surplus.
Governor Gardner recommended tax
OF 81. Perhaps the corporations may
not be as lucky as they imagine.
There is way to reach them yet
through the state board of equall-
zation and this method is likely to
be utilized.

He warned the committee that un.
less provisions were made for placing
license tags on both front and rear
OF the cars and for printing tags to re
furnished to prosecuting attorneys for
stolen car Identification, that auto
mobile associations might assail the
validity of the law. The tags and
