STATE TAX ON
TOBACCO FOUGHT
Opposition to Bill Proposed
by Farm Federation.

A proposed luxury tax bill, backed
by the Indiana Farm Bureau Fed
Grafton, met such strong opposition
today there was a probability it
would not be introduced in the House
Of Representatives 1t provides for a
tax on cigarets and cigars, and will
yield an estimated total of $1,750 900
a year.
Representative Floyd A. Freemyer
Oem.), Jay, has been asked to intro
duce the bill. Freemyer declared he
was studying the bill before intro
ducing it.
Freemyer, who had been expected
to introduce the measure today, said
he did not know when he would in
troduce the bill. and indicated the
luxury tax proposal might be
dropped entirely.
The bill as drafted calls for a one
mill tax on each cigaret and the tax
on cigars would range from 10 cents
to $3.50 a hundred.
Scores of written protests have
been received by Representatives
since introduction of the bill was
first limited. The labor bloc is partic-
ularly opposed. A tax of cents
would be added to the standard pack
Of twenty cigarets by the proposed
bill.

Moue to End Games
of Firen1en Is Lost

Efforts to pull the small town
firemen away from their checker
playing by establishment of the
platoon system in cities of $500 and
less were thwarted in the Indiana
Senate Wednesday,
The platoon system. which pro-
vfdes Shirts OF "a hours OH and "a
hours off duty. is in effect in larger
cities. A bill to put it into effect in
the smaller places came up for
third reading and was saved from
complete extinction by motion to
send it back to Committee on Cities
and Towns.
Senator Andrew e. Durham
Oem.), Greencastle, urged its defeat.
Whoever heard Of an overworked
small town fireman." he inquired.
why down in Greencastle we
haven't had fire in six weeks and
the last run was false alarm. Do
you think We can afford to add three
more men and establish the platoon
system while those already on the
force are resting "a hours every
day?"

Defenders of Shanghai De-

Bp United Press
SHANGHAI, Feb. 17.-Reports
from Hangchow today indicated that
the rout of the Shanghai defenders
there had been complete, and it was
announced at the United States con-
sulate that the u. s. S. transport
Chaumont had been ordered to pro-
ceed direct to Shanghai with 1900
Marines aboard.
Troops of Marshal Sun Chuan
Fang, defender of Shanghai against
the advance of the Cantonese Ma
tionalists from the south, today were
reported to be streaming out of
Hangchow aboard north-bound
trains.
Sun, so far as could be learned to-
day, still was at Marking, $50 miles
northwest of Hangchow, and about
the same distance west of Shanghai.
No word had been received from
Sun today as to his plans. if any. to
stem the Nationalist tide.
Report of the new defeat suffered
by Sun spread CONSERVATION through
Shanghai, where thousands OF
foreign nationals, among them 1000
Americans, have concentrated during
the Chinese disorders. But foreigners
found some comfort in arrival yester-
day of additional British troops and

bill, asked that it be made a matter
of special business at 2 p. m. today,
when it was called as a matter of
special business on second reading in
the Senate Wednesday morning. He
declared that "some changes were
necessary" Two Senators had an
nounced that they would amend the
bill to strike out the election of pub

caucus chairman, refused to hear
their pleas

ST TAG FEE,
J CENT GAS
TAX ASKED.
Measure in House Would
Change Auto License,
Charge. r
BIG SAVING ESTIMATED
1000, 900 More Revenue
for State, Says Author.

A gasoline tax Of cents a gallon
instead Of and a fiat registration
fee on passenger automobiles of 81
is proposed in Representative c. Ell
mer Garrard's bill, introduced today
in the Indiana House of Represent
atives.
Fostered. according to Garrard, by
the secretary of State and the State
auditor the bill seeks to impose a tax
Of cents per gallon on all gasoline
purchased in the State, with
exemptions forsuse in manufacturing
or farming.
$40 for Buses
Busses would be taxed a fiat $40,
and trucks SO a ton capacity.
Garrard estimates his bill would
provide a revenue of approximately
$21. 100000 in 1928, $2,000,000 more
than now is provided by the gas tax
and auto license fees.
Notary fees, which now cost arpl.-
cants for plates 20 to so cents each,
would not be necessary.
No Perpetual Plates
Efforts have been made to make
the auto license plates perpetual so
that the expense of issuing yearly
plates could be avoided.
1T will be impossible to eliminate
this expense entirely" said Garrard,
because it is necessary to have the
owners Of cars listed each year."
