The constitutional amendments
committee of the house still had
the Lankford income tax measure,
already passed by the senate, be
fore it for the purpose of recom
mending amendments, while the
senate had as its principal busi
ness for the early part of the
week, the general tax act, passed
last weke by the house. The bill
to repeal the tax equalisation act,
passed by the house, also was in
the hands of senators.
Members of the house constitu
tional amendments committee
planned to place the Lankford bill
on passage Tuesday. As the meaa-.
urc now reads, it provides an in
come tax, limited to five per cent,
with tho same exemptions provid
ed in the federal law and a clause
1 lowing crediting of ad valorem
tax payments in income tax as
sessments. and vice versa.
Efforts will be made, it was
stated, to amend the bill so as to
carry out the provisions recom
mended by the special tax com
mission—that is a limited income
tax, with small exemption! and no
credit clause'.
A heated fight to amend the bill
so as to provide that no ad valo
rem taxes for state purposes may
be collected, thereby removing
the necessity of the tax equaliza
tion law for state purposes, and
giving the state a straight incoma
neasure, limited to fire par

On ail office table was a pocket

but no cash, and three notes.
Two notes'were signed with the

his departure. The third note was
from Olive bo hi swife. It told her
that he feared he was going to be
