Gorey Explains New Tax Measure Says Grow Income Levy Will Produce About 10 Million To Relieve Property Estimating that it would bring- the- state annual revenue of about $10,008,009 to replace taxes on general property, L. Corey, state secretary of explained the new gross income tax! law which goes into effect in Sou'th- Dakota July 1 at a meeting of taxpayers here last night He declared that fee new. tax would eliminate the state levy on general property and that this item alone would bring an average reduction ol nearly IT per cent in property taxes'paid by people in Beadle county.

The- secretary estimated that the. 45 per cent of the gross income tax which will go to schools would reduce the general property tax burden-for educational purposes about one-third over the state. To Be Replacement Questioned from the floor' concerning the replacement feature of the new tax, Mr. Corey said that only the failure of a public official to perform his required duties would keep it from being a replacement. He explained that it will be the duty of the auditor in each county- to reduce the school levy of the various districts in the amount that-the districts are apportioned from the 45 per cent.

The money will be apportioned out to schools in the same manner as the revenue of the department of school and public lands. Mr. Corey emphasized that only 2 per cent of the money collected under the new tax law could used for administration purposes. Net Income Tax Inadequate The speaker labeled the net income tax law, which agricultural interests favored at the last session of the legislature, as entirely inadequate to take care of the revenue requirements of the state in view of the failure of the property tax system. He said that the largest revenue under the net income tax would be the annual registration tax of $2.

Estimating there are 250,000 taxable people in the state, he said that this feature of the proposed law would, net about J500.000. He pointed out that all of this would Co into en administrative fund. The actual income tax would not have produced more than. $160,000 in 1932 because there were so few net incomes, he said. Mr.

Corey said, that 22 other states in the union have a taxation system of the same" general type as the new gross income tax, and that none of them has taken steps to abolish tax once it had been, given a fair trial. On the other hand, he said, the popularity of this of taxation has grown after being tried hi other states. South Dakota Levy Low South Dakota and New York, of the states having this type of taxation, have the lowest rate of assessment, Mr; Gorey saii In this state the tax on individuals AFRIL SNOWS BRING WOES May flowers faced a bleak prospect in New England when a mid-winter blizzard paid a mid-April visit, blanketing large sections under two to three feet of snow.

Woman's Intuition Leads Officers On Blind Bandit Chase A woman's intuition sen'! officers down a blind alley in search for the Kaylor bank bandits last night.

Deputy Sheriff Harvey Huntley kaid that he had county authorities at Hayti go to the tourist camp at Lake Poinsette when he received a "hot tip" that the bandits were spending the night there. He was unable to verify the tip until this morning. 'The man wfto furnished it said that his wife couldn't sleep because her Intuition told her that the bandits were at Lake Poinsette. By the time the message was relayed to the deputy sheriff the intuitive knowledge had become an established fact. An unconfirmed report recsived here'said that the Hayti authorities arrested one Tnan at Lake Poinsette and released him later when he established that he had no connection the holdup.

will be 1 per cent on incomes up to 000, per cent on incomes'up to $5,000 and 2 per cent on incomes above $5,000. The secretary of finance said that experience has shown that a tax of the gross income type will not produce its Aberdeen and the University of South maximum revenue right from the start He cited Mississippi -where; a general sales tax produced only $7,000 the first month, and five months later'exceeded $200,000 a month. Aside from the revenue features of the new law, there Is the increased ac- "tivity in agricultural lands in South Dakota that the new system wiH bring, Mr. Corey said. He called attention to hundreds of inquiries on land in state which have been received at Pierre since the passage of the tax law that will relieve the burden on real property.

Should Be Given Trial Several Huron people who have taken a leading part in efforts to reduce taxes, expressed the opinion after the meeting that new gross income- tax should be given fair trial at least. At an afternoon meeting with assessors of the county, Mr. outlined minor changes in- 'tax lilting blanks. One is the restoration of dogs' to. the taxable property list brought on by the repeal of the dog license law.

All dogs win be assessed $1 and the amount included in the regular property tax assessment. Another change a that which divides electric refrigerators into two classes, for commercial and one for home Use. In the past all have been in the same classification. Check Moneys And Credits Mr. Corey emphasized the importance of assessors getting complete listing on moneys and-credits.

According to a recent estimate, he said, more than $500,000,900 worth of moneys and credits held by people of the state is not on the tax rolls now. An increased appropriation wil lenable the department to hire three investigators, instead of one as in the past, to investigate persons suspected of failure to list all of their moneys and cre- iits, the secretary said. Since a campaign was started in 1931 to fad unlisted moneys and credits, about (75,000 has been recovered by the state. One individual was found to have a tax Jiability of $13,000.
