SUSPEND RULES FOR
VOTING REGISTRATION
House Allotting Changed to Aid
Officers in Work.

Suspension of the rule allotting
houses with odd numbers to Re
publican deputy registration officers
and even numbered houses to
Democratic deputy registration Off
GERS was ordered today by Glenn B.
Ralston, county clerk in charge of
Marion county voters registration,
in an effort to speed up the process.
Deputy registration officers are
paid 5 cents for each registration
they obtain in the toulouse
canvass, but are naturally discour-
aged when they get no results after
calling four or five times at the
same house." Mr.. RalSton explained.
It is hoped that with the suspen-
sion of the allotment rule, officers
will be given more incentive to keep
up their efforts.

TOILETTE TO
/. CONTINUE FIGHT
FOR HIGH TAXES
Schedule With II Per Cent
Levy on ST, 100000 Is
Aim of Senator.
By United Press

By United Press
WASHINGTON. March 21.-De-
feated in the senate finance COM
mittee, Senator Robert M. La Fol-
lettes (Rep.. Wis.,. said today he
would Garry to the floor of the
senate his fight to impose higher
surtaxes and estate taxes.
Senator La Toilette said he would
not attempt to get committee ap-
proval of his estate tax plan. His
proposed amendment to the reve-
nue. bill which would increase
maximum surtax rates to II pei
cent on incomes in excess OF
81 100000. was defeated in the COM
mittee, thirteen to five.
The United Press learned that
the vote on the La Toilette amend
ment, taken in secret executive ses-
sion yesterday, was as follows:
Result of Voting
Opposed-King, George, Barley
Gore, Lonergan. Byrd, McAdoo
Reed. Keyes, Metcalf Hastings
Walcott and Harrison.
For the Amendment - Connally
Costigan, Clark, Couzens, La Fol-
lette.
The progressive Republican from
Wisconsin is one of group OF
liberal senators who think that
extraordinary expenditures by the
federal government for relief and
public works must be continued for
a long time and consider increased
tax revenues as essential to the
maintenance of government credit.
Although drastic by comparison
with the present income tax rates,
which are altered only slightly by
the tax bill that has been passed
by the house and is now before the
senate committee, Senator La Fol-
lette's proposed rates are moderate,
compared to the income assess
ments of Great Britain.
Rates Start at Per Cent
Senator La Follette's rates start
with normal tax of per cent on
net incomes up to $4,000, allowing
the existing exemptions of $4,000 for
a married person and $1,000 for a
single person. Our present normal
tax. as we'll as that in the house bill,
is per cent The British tax is
1912 per cent, with 5000 as the
exemption for married person.
The La Toilette schedule runs up
to II per cent on incomes in excess
of 81 100000 as compared to our
present tax of. SIS per cent and the
house bill tax of SO per cent.
Rates in the house bill are higher
on incomes in excess OF $4,000, but
slightly lower on incomes of less
than that.
Would Add $185, 100000
There is practically no difference
in the amount of income tax rev.
enue to be expected from the pres
ent law and the house bill. But the
treasury, which has been trying to
discourage proposals for higher in
come taxes, has estimated that the
La Toilette rates would add about
$185, 100000.
Later Senator La Toilette will pro-
pose higher taxes on inheritances,
going up to so per cent in the
upper brackets, and yielding $780,
100000 additional.
The La Toilette schedule, provid-
ing normal tax of per cent, calls
for the following surtaXes on income
in excess of that amount.
