Scores Special Session Demand

ing of the citizens of the states
which have sales tax.
The gross income tax of Indi-
ana is paid by those that can
afford it.
1t is an honor to be a citizen of
Indiana when we realize that our
state is one of the three states out
of the 48 where no school term
has been shortened and where
every school teachers salary has
been guaranteed. There is TO
fear here in Indiana that your
children will ever be denied the
education to which they are en-
titled.
The schools are open, the bud
get is balanced and still we are
not bothered with those pesky
stamps every time we make a
purchase.
There is between an eight or
nine million dollar surplus in our
state treasury which will enable
us to take part in any Federal
program without additional taxes
or sessions of the Legislature
costing thousands of dollars so
why under the sun should we en-
danger this enviable and excellent
position of our state by calling
a session of the Legislature now.
Personal observations, which are
borne out by facts, and investiga-
tions prove that nearly every one
asking for this special session has
rather selfish end in mind. Sew
eral Of these soap box orators de-
sire to be a candidate for Gov
ernor and believe that they could
advance their cause if turned
loose in the Legislature.
The Republicans naturally want
to see the Democratic admins
tration lose its prestige, because
they know that as long as Indiana
is in the fine position it is today
the voters will think twice before
turning them out. therefore mini
MIXING Republican hopes for the
next campaign.
Congratulations to you Gov.
McNutt both for your courage in
ignoring these pleas for a special
session and for the first business
like administration the state of
Indiana has had in many and
many year.

of the breakdown, which is not a
condition until Congress acts with
intelligence and decision on the
basic issue of eliminating credit
money as a medium of exchange,
and giving the people an adequate
volume of constitutional currency
created by Congress instead Of by
privately owned banks.
Credit money, privately created,
becomes a cancer on the economic
body, slowly but surely sapping the
life of industry.
The government itself is the only
authorized source for the creation
of money or its substitute, credit.
Until Congress meets its reSpon-
sibility on this basic cause Of this
economic collapse, we are paying a
high price for the national congress
sional puppet show. None of the
! things Congress has done to re-
lieve the suffering, due to this arti-
fcially created depression, will make
the slightenest difference, for the
fundamental cause of it remains
untouched.
Credit money is tax on indus
try, levied by those who create it;
taxing is a legislative function
which Congress can not delegate,
and if used by Congress as it is by
banks it would eliminate all other
taxes necessary to operate the
functions of local and the national
government.
The relief work program will solve
nothing, it is only a temporary shot
in the arm. After that credit money
is spent we will be worse of than
we are now.

BY Rep. Carl E. NJ. Woodland
Permit me to use your columns
to give your readers my answer to
a demand of many of our state
politicians. No less than a dozen
members Of the last session of the
Legislature and Republican state
leaders have demanded that Gov.
Paul V. McNutt call a special
session of the Legislature imme-
diately. All of them give as their
excuse for calling a special session,
and burdening the taxpayers with
the cost of the session if called,
the fact that the tax laws of In
diana need immediate revision.
AS a member of the state Legis-
lature I wish to voice my opposi-
ton to the calling of a special
session of the state Legislature.
Members Of the tax study commit
tee visited most of the surround
ing states after the close of the
regular session, and reported that
Indiana was a bed of roses COM
pared to other states. Most Of the
states visited were burdened with
huge debts that will take years
and perhaps generations to pay.
In some states school teachers be-
ing paid from month to month
and the residents of these states
do not know when their children
will be deprived of an education
Republican advocates of the
special session take great pleasure
in demanding an end to the gross
income tax law and substituting
in its place sales tax. A friend
of mine visiting recently in Ohio
sent me letter from which I am
going to quote:
For Gods sake, Carl whatever
you do never vote for a sales tax
like they have here in Ohio. The
people here feel that the sales tax
is more or less of a curse put up
on them, the reasons for this feel
ing is because every time they
make a purchase no matter how
small the clerk tacks on the extra
pennies and hands the customer
the little stamps. Every one 1 have
met heref hate the sight of the
darned things"

BY BERTRAM DAY


The Bay Of Naples holds historic
charms:
No other place excels its match
less shores,
Soft kissing waves are folded in its
arms
While East and west pass
through its open doors.
Behind the Bay is carved on Vergils

And now on Naples sunny

The Great Aeneid was his choicest
bloom,

And farther still beyond this

A city lost, whose ruins all adj
