FEME, SL 80 A TBAX NEWSLETTa HH STATE m m m COLUMBUS—The one big topic in this city and around the state house is Whether a state income tax taw 'will be enacted as asked for by Governor White. There Jhaa been a wide differ­ ence o f opinion between the House and Senate over the tax program and House leaders threaten to wreck the whole program unless the Senate passes an income tax law. The Senate passed the sales tax which had been approved by the House but not until there was much {measure put behind it. House lead* era charged the Senate with killing time. ’ Both, houses have now endorsed the change in utility tax law provid* ing for am increase in rates. The ’ railroad lobby succeeded in keeping the old rate in force for railroads on the plea that the management had to borrow -jmoney now t6 pay taxes. AU telephone, gas and electric companies having a gross income less than $160,- 000 yearly were exempted. ->• , As the tax program .stands at this Writing the program is half a law. hut defeat o f the income tax in the Senate probably will wreck the whoile pro* gram. Gov. White has stated that un­ less an income tax is passed he will veto the whole program. There are pply 27 members in the Senate and 17 votes are necessary to pass a law. There is a possibility the Senate may defeat the income .tax law as a chal­ lenge to Gov. White and his leader­ ship in the House. Both houses Of the legislature are Democratic. Rural leaders at the opening session were strong for an income tax but there was a, weakening in their lines as far as public comment was concerned When word reached Columbus . that Iowa, with a state income tax, had ordered taxes collected on government wheat, com-hog payments. They were held as un-eamed income. - rrril1r .. „ | , ,n r n - ------- CVIII ' D a y s .
