CHANGES SENTIMENT
TOWARD EXCISE TAX
Gov. Goodrich Speaks in Fav-
or of Measure Before
Corporation Heads.
News-Times Special Service +;


LAFAYETTE. Ind, Feb. 20
Gov. James =. Goodrich addressed a
meeting of about 200 citizens here
Monday night on the excise tax law.
There was much opposition TO the
bill among the stockholders in local
corporations. but when the law was
explained as 10 its workings and
purposes much Of the feeling was
allayed. The argument was made
that the small corporations were be-
ing taxed for all they owned and if il
was necessary TO raise more money
a tax that would affect all people
should be created.
Gov. Goodrich said that in Indiana
the tax duplicates showed that the
corporations only paid on about
two hundred million, while the stock
certificates showed there was issued
about one billion four hundred mil
lion. His argument was that the
corporations were enjoying privi-
leges from the state for which they
should pay.
Mr.. Goodrich said that 80 states
were now exacting an excise tax and
that the proposed rates in house bill
466 were as low or lower than the
tax in any Of the states. He said if
the bill was defeated in the senate
the good roads movement must be
abandoned, or additional tax placed
on the general property. He said
he was corporation man himself
and knew the corporations could
stand the proposed tax.
Many of those opposed to the bill
pledged their support in having it
passed after the explanations were
made.
