TIRED OF BEING TAXED.

Voters of Indiana have defeated
4 number of constitutional amend
ments submitted at a special cleo
ton, among them being one for the
imposition of a state income tax 1t
is not surprising that the proposed
result would be the same in any
other state taking vote on a sim
liar question at this time. What
the people of the country want just
now is a reduction in taxes. not the
placing of additional tax burdens
People everywhere are paying high
er taxes than ever before and in ud-
dition are contributing to the feder-
al treasury for income and other
taxes. They are likely to be pay
ing to the national government for
many more years.
Whoever was responsible for sub
mitting an income tax amendment
Tor the consideration of Indiana vo7
ters was not lacking in courage, but
vas short on Judgement in picking
time like the present to put thru
such a law. Several states. notably
New York and Massachusetts, have
ncome tax laws, but they have been

way of increasing state revenues,
but looks like double taxation when
he same income is also taxed by the
national government.-Pue Star
