vious the real reason for the
cancellation was to pay a poll
tical debt. Insurance and bonds
have always been shifted at the
termination of policy by various
administrations, but this il the
first cancellation l remember.
ITS dirty pool"
Smith produced a complicated
formula designed TO show the
state will not save $4,000 but will
actually lose $500.
THE state was penalized
$500 by cancelling this policy OF
mine," he said, because IL went
on the short rate basis. BY sub
tracing $1,000 from this figure,
you arrive at $780,"
That's obvious enough" coun-
tered Dotsch. "but we are still
saving $1,000, no matter what
Smith says"

Little Hope Seen
For Income Tax

LANSING, May IA bill pro-
viding a state income tax met
overwhelming opposition when in
troduced in the House by Rep.
George o. Hanna Cd of Hough-
ton County.
II was indicated the measure
will gather dust in the taxation
committee room until the session
ends a month hence.
Harna proposed repeating the
sales tax and substituting a levy
of / per cent on incomes of indi-
viduals and corporations. Unmar-
ried persons would be granted an
exemption OF $1,000, and married
workers would be allowed an
exemption of 81, 500. with an addi-
tional $500 for each dependent.
Rep. John b. Smith tR) of
Alma said there is slight chance
that the bill will be approved by
the taxation committee, OF which
he is chairman.
THE sales tax Is not unpop-
ular and will not be repealed"
Smith said. As long as we have
the sales tax, we do not need
additional revenue"
1t was revealed that the taxa
ton committee also will kill Rep.
George Higgins bill creating a
coupon system for collection of
the sales levy.

Times star Correspondent


LANSING. May 1.-The Legis.
lature celebrated May Day today
by speeding a bill outlawing the
Communist Party as a political
entity in Michigan.
Passed yesterday in the House
by a vote of 81 to 10, the bill
arrived in the Senate on this Red
anniversary. 1t provides that the
Communist Party shall not have
a place on the state ballot and
denies election privileges to all
parties advocating overthrow OF
the American system.
The proposed law was sponsored
by Reps. Walter F. Remer (R) OF
Saginaw and William c. Stenson
tR) of Greenland.
Opposition was led by Rep. John
Sabol Cd of Ironwood, who con.
tended the measure is a step to-
ward denial of free speech.
REPUBLICAN SURPRISED

Democratic colleague In the
House talk about free speech In
view Of the Presidents rebuke
TO Colonel Lindbergh," COM
mented Rep. Robert N, Sawyer
tR) of Monroe!
This was an example OF what
Is mapping to free speech in the
United States. Perhaps we do
not have free speech any more"
Rep. Milton Scherer cd of
Muskegon objected to mention of
the Communist Party by name,
contending the bill should merely
outlaw any party advocating
overthrow Of government.
THE one purpose of the bill II
to get the Communist Party off
the ballot" Representative
Remer replied. 1.-THE best way
to achieve this purpose Is to
point to the party by name"

and Scherer. those voting against
the measure were Reps. John B..
Murphy and Michael J. O'Brien.

viding that the first position shall
