DISAPPEARANCE OF IN, COUPLED WITH NOTES OF WARNING BRING MURDER THEORY TO LIGHT MONDAY -SERIES IS-BEGI First Address By Eoisco- Dal Rector in Chapel Monday: Next One Tues day Night on “Patriot ism,” 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 with small exemptions, has predicted • by a number of 1 lerislators.
