, Under Ketchum's amendment,
persons who paid the 50 filing fee
and whose income tax return
showed, in consideration Of exemp-
ton, that no income tax need be
paid, would be given credit to the
amount Of their poll tax if satisfac-
tory proof Of its payment was sub
mitted with the income tax return.
Such a credit might, under the
amendment, be deducted from the
fling fee.
Unless such proof was submitted
the 81 fees would be retained in full
by the state.
Vote Down DoOgs Amendment
"This does not amount to double
poll taxi Ketchum argued. Forty
per cent Of Indiana's voters do not
pay a poll tax. I believe there are
possible 100000 persons in Indiana
sufficiently conscientious to make
these income tax reports without ex-
pensive collection machinery"
The senate rejected the amend
ment offered by Senator William V.
Doogs Dem, Dubois, Perry and
Spencer) which would have allowed
as a deduction the amount Of tax
paid on real estate from which in
come was listed in the income tax
return.
In cases where such taxes were
in excess of the amount Of income
tax to be paid, no income tax would
be collectable under Doogs' amend
ment, which was voted down.
Another adopted amendment, of
which Ketcl1um was the author,
brought salaries of superior, GRIM
inal, probate and juvenile judges
and United States employees under
the state income tax. The amend
ment, thus limited judgeship ex-
emptions to constitutional Offices.
House Moves Eliminated
The other two amendments cor
rected typographical errors and
made certain that the per cent
income tax applied to salaries be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000, matter
inadvertently not covered in the
bill.
The senate last Friday amended
the measure which originated in
the house, to restore the rates and
exemptions originally recommended
by the state tax survey committee.
Doing this, the senate eliminated
house amendments which had been
drafted by Paul v. McNutt, dean of
the Indiana law school, and so
brought smaller incomes within the
scope Of the bill while reducing the
maximum income tax rate from 6 to
4 per cent.
