CLOSE VOTE OPENS
WAY TO INCOME TAX
CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION
ADOPTS AMENDMENT OF
FEREp BY JUDGE REID.
LEGISLATURE WILL DECIDE
Sullivan Amendment Guards Rights Of
Municipalities and Parishes-FM
Maximum Taxation Of Corpora
tions Owning Railroads.

Baton Rouge.-The Legislature will
have the right after May 1, 1924, TO
levy a state income tax not to ex-
oeed per cent
This authority was granted when
the Constitutional Convention adopted
an amendment to this effect introduc-
sd by Judge Robert r. Reid, of Amite.
The levying Of the income tax is
thus left to the next Legislature to be
elected by the people as that new
body will be inaugurated in May.
1924
Nothing is final in this convention
until the constitution Is finally
adopted, signed and promulgated. UD-
der the rules any ordinance can be
reconsidered, changed and amended
at any time. There are many ordi-
nances now on the calendar, with i'm
portant amendments. There is no
certainty, therefore, that the vote on
the income tax ia final. The ordinance
IL still on second reading at this writ
ing. Even after 1t goes to the coor-
dfnation committee 1t can be brought
back with changes, alterations or
amendments.
The vote for adoption Of the Reid
amendment was 81 year and SO nays,
and proceeded down the alphabetical
roll neck and neck until the names
Of delegates beginning with "S' were
reached. These names produced sew
en- yeas and two nays furnishing the
majority Of five.
The state income tax shall be In
lieu of the state occupational license
tax, and to make certain that it does
not apply to municipalities and par
fishes. Colonel John P. Sullivan intro
duced another amendment which also
was adopted. II provides "but when
an income tax is levied by the state,
In lieu OF state license taxes, this
shall not prohibit the levy by the po-
litical subdivision OF the state such
license taxes as the Legislature may
authorize"
The. Reid amendment reads:
Provided after May I, 1924, equal
and uniform taxes, not to exceed 3
per cent, and for state purposes only,
may be levied upon net incomes Such
taxes when levied and paid shall be
credited, protanto, or entirely Offset
by all taxes, state and local, paid by
the taxpayer for the year in which
such income tax Is due or paid. Such
income tax shall be in lieu OF occupa-
tional licenses and may be in lieu Of
other taxes. Public officials shall not
be excepted. Reasonable exemptions
may be granted"
The vote upon the Reid amendment
came In the afternoon. The debate
was led by Judge Reid in support and
Senator H. B. Warren, income tax ex-
ponent, in opposition. The latter was
opposed to making the income tax a
lieu tax, but advocated the income
tax
Colonel Sullivan expressed the fear
that the Reid amendment might serve
to prevent municipalities and cities
from levying an occupational license
tax and that New Orleans thereby
would lose revenue totaling more than
81 600, 0oo q year. He then offered his
amendment which expressly stipulated
that II did not apply to political sub

which is despisa BILE, to say the least.
If the fish supply of the State is to
be increased, or even remain as it is.
1t is necessary to annually have crop
of fish. To have it. it is very neces-
sary that fish be allowed to spawn. If
fish are not to be protected when they
are spawning, why should they be pro-
tected a other times. or by any other
means? The reproductive period is
of primary Importance.
Fish hatcheries serve a useful pur
pose in producing fish for stocking de-
pleted waters. The fish produced by
the state are expected to grow and
finally reproduce themselves before
they are caught, in which case an in
crease can be looked for in the
species. To allow fishing during the
spawning period of such fish as the
black bass and blue gill which expose
themselves to capture more openly
than other species, was long mis-
take, and the legislature wisely cor
rected it. Indiana now has 100000
people, and besides, we have thous-
ands of non-residents who come to
fish in our waters. To maintain good
fishing it is necessary to husband the
supply. To do this, every means
must be employed to protect the fish
when they are spawning. Now is the
time when the real angler will spend
his time watching the habits of the
fish instead of making efforts to catch
them. A visit to a state fish hatchery
will bring you an immense amount OF
information and we advise you to
visit one of the state stations within
the next two weeks.

CUBAN RULER FACES
REBUILDING OF ARMY

HAVANA, Cuba, May 30.-Reorgan-
ization of the Cuban army is one of
the tasks facing the new administra-
ton of DR.. Alfredo Zayas. The Memo
cal government which preceded that Of
DR.. Zayas, took a preliminary step by
abolishing the custom of promotion Of
officers by selection. The presidential
decree effecting this reform will be-
come operative on July /, but no Sc
lection will be made between the pres
ent and that date.
The motive for army reorganization
is economy and was discussed at con-
ferences between Major General Enoch
Crowder, special agent in Cuba for
President Harding and both President
NJ. G. Menocal and DR.. Zayas, then
president-elect.
While the army itself numbers only
about 1900. the high salaries paid
and the cost of supplies has run the
total cost Of this branch of the nation
al defense to more than 100000, a
figure considered excessive. Some
sentiment has been shown for the
abolition Of the army and the creation
Of force of rurales, but the general
trend seems to be for a smaller force
than at present, but of greater eff
cheney. the result of the acquisition
of the most modern forms of auto
matte rifles and machine guns.

State Officials Define Status
of New Closed Season Statute

Perhaps no fish and game law en-
acted in recent years has created
more comment and confusion than the
closed season act passed by the last
legislature. The act provides that
whoever shall catch, kill, pursue or
have in possession any large-mouth
black bass, small-mouth black bass or
blue gill, caught in the waters of this
state from April so to June Is, shall
be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor.
The law had hardly passed before
arguments started as to what kinds of
fish really were protected under the
new statute, also whether private
ponds and lakes so-called came under
the new statute; also whether per
son catching black bass and blue gills
outside the state could bring them
into Indiana without violating the new
law.
G. N. Manifold, superintendent of
fisheries and game of the state de-
partment of conserva ton, has issued
a statement to all game and bird pro-
tective associations. John Holiday,
secretary of the Wayne County asso-
citation, is is receipt of one of these,
which states in part:
Two Kinds of Bass
mere are l"O kluOS Vi U-d VA OooS,
the large-mouth and the small-mouth.
The largemouth black bass is also
known as the plymouth, Oswego
bass, grass bass. pond bass, green
bass, bayou bass and striped bass.
This leads to much confusion in the
minds of some who think that the
small-mouth is the only black bass.
The rock bass, goggle-eye or red-eye,
as they are after called, and the calico
bass and strawberry bass as the
crappie is often called, not being
black bass, are not included in the
provisions of the closed season law,
and therefore are not protected. The
scientific names of the three fishes
protected are Micropterus dolomleu,
Micropterus salmoides and Lapom1s
pallidus.
"Inasmuch as fishing for other spe-
cies Of fish is not prohibited, it is
liable to occur that a person in fish
ing may catch any one of the three
protected The question has been
asked what to do under the clrcum-
stances, and this we answer by say
ing that they must at once be re-
turned to the water, or prosecution
may follow 1t will be noted that the
wording of the closed season law
mentions the words caught in the
waters of this state Therefore, fish
caught in waters outside of the state
may be possessed if lawfully caught
in a neighboring state, but satisfac-
| tory evidence must be furnished to
prove that they were caught outside
of the state in a lawful manner.
Ponds Are Excepted
Regarding private ponds and lakes
the Attorney General in an opinion
has said, Merely private ponds and
lakes do not come under the new
statute He defines private pond
or lake as one having no outlet by
which fish may escape. The fish
laws of the state of Indiana provide
that it shall be unlawful to place any
obstruction other than a dam across
any of the streams Of the state, which
prevents fish ascending or descending
The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1921-05-30

any such stream. Therefore. ponds
or lakes made by damming a stream
cannot be lawfully screened so as to
keep the fish from coming in or going
out. Ponds or lakes built and owned
by private parties, having no inlet or
outlet seem therefore to be private
ponds or lakes. There seems to be
no statute which clearly defines what
really constitutes a private pond or
lake. There has been a decided in
clination on the part of owners of pri-
vate waters to cooperate with the
state department in seeing that the
new law is observed, and they are re-
fuslng to allow persons to fish for
black bass and blue gills during the
period when public waters are closed
Owners of strictly private ponds and
lakes who do not do so, can look for
no consideration from the department
in the future. Certainly the state
would be doing wrong to stock such
waters with fish at the expense of the
sportsmen of the state who furnish it
with funds to work with, it states.
Will Increase Fish Stocks
The main spawning period of the
black bass is now here. From now
until June 18th it will be the uuty VI
every lawabding angler to see that
the three species Of fish protected are
allowed to spawn unmolested. The
new law will without doubt, greatly
increase the number of fish in our
waters. When it is taken into consid
GRAFTON that Indiana had no statute
making it unlawful for a person to
deliberately fish for and take black
bass and blue gills off of their beds,
so long as no unlawful device was
used in taking them, the real benefit
derived by the new law can be re-
allied. Formerly thousands of such
fish were taken off their beds, leaving
their eggs and fry unprotected. the
prey Of other fishes. No one thinks
of killing domestic stock or fowls
when about to bring off their young.
but thousands of thoughtless anglers
for years past have carried on the
practice of taking fish off their nests,
