INCOME TAX IS
indiana ISSUE
Effect of Move to Transfer
Taxes From Property to
Individual Is Watched.
BY HAROLD c. FEIGHTNER.
Special Dispatch to The Star.


INDIANAPOLIS. Ind, July 15.-Chief
interest right now in Indiana is CEN
tered around the gross income tax i'm
posed by the last Legislature in a revo-
lutionary move to shift taxes from
property to the Individual The first
taXpaying period converting income in
May and June ended today and the
State is anxiously watching the returns
to learn whether the venture will bal
ance the budget.
To State that had derived its prin-
cipal income for more than 100 years
from property taxation, the experiment
is novel and in some instances painful,
judging from the protests. BY and
large, however, the people are respond
ing readily in the hope that property
tax levies, fixed in September can be
cut to the minimum.
The law imposes a l per cent tax on
individual incomes and all sales and
one-fourth of l per cent on manufac-
turers and wholesalers An exemption
of $1,000 is allowed. In drafting the
law. Indiana cllarted new course in
taxation, but already South Dakota,
Washington, Oregon and North Dakota
have enacted similar statutes.
Most estimates have placed the an
t;cipated income at between $4,000 600
and s2O.00O,OOO. but Clarence Jackson,
income tax administrator, refuses to
hazard a guess. The State must take
in at least sl3,OOO,OOO. for it has obli-
gated itself to that amount by agreeing
to pay $500 toward the salaries of the
1000 school teachers. If local units
can be relieved from paying teachers
wages, corresponding reduction can
be made in the property tax rates.
On that probability hinges the fate of
the income tax law and incidentally of
the administration of Gov. Paul v. Nc
Mutt. If it turns out that the income
tax is only an additional burden the

For the first time since the depression
started, employment and pay rolls
showed an increase last month over the
corresponding period in 1882, according
to the monthly report OF DR.. j. Knox
Insley, State commissioner of labor and
statistics. For the State of Maryland
employment was 4.3 per cent higher
than in June. 1882, and pay rolls 3.3
per cent higher.
Industries which showed higher levels
of employment and pay rolls last month
than In June, 1882, included beverages,
meat packers. mems clothing, cotton
goods, hosiery and knit goods, shirts
and overalls, silk, rayon, woolen goods,
wooden boxes, furniture, shoes, paper
boxes and products. marble, granite and
stone, glass products and pottery, air

Stores also show a gain, in some
instances greater than factories.

came into vogue during the days OF
the Unofficial but no less effective
Capone regime. When that now in
carcerated gangster ruled the Chicago
underworld, and exercised powerful in
f1uence in higher circles. the pursuit
OF an electric bunny by grayhounds was
said to be cne of his methods OF cater
ing to the multitude and collecting rev.
enue through admission fees and high
percentage on wagers.
Police raided the tracks on the theory
that they were set up and operated in
violation of the laws against gambling
A court enjoined the police from further
interference on the contrary theory that
since law permitted betting by the pari-
mutuel system on horse races. it was
legitimate to use that system at dog
races.
There followed a long interval in
which the racing continued and the
authorities appealed Finally the Su-
preme Court of Illinois learnedly found
that dogs are not horses, and the law
could not be stretched to cover any
breed of quadrupeds other than the
equine.
The dog track promoters, having a
good thing in which they had made
some investment. ignored the Supreme
Court decision and went merrily on.
