Gross Income fax INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) Two Democrats moved today to reduce Indiana gross income taxes by restoring rates to what they-were before the "'1957. Legislature raised them. Reps. John Stacy of Lawrence-burg and Rex Minnick of Brazil introduced a bill to repeal the increases imposed by the last Legislature, which hiked the gross income tax rate for. most wage earners from 1 to 1V per cent.

Stacy said most Democrats op posed the increase two years ago when the Republican-controlled assembly boosted gross income and hiked the state gasoline tax Also introduced in the House today were a bill to legalize pari- mutuel bettingr and a bill to repeal -the-chain store tax." Gets Election Bill The Senate got a bill by Sen. D. Russell Bontrager, Elkhart Republican whom Governor Handley defeated for the U.S. senatorial nom ination last summer, to revise the state election laws governing party nominating conventions. A bill to repeal the widely-violated 1957 time law survived a move to kill it in the Senate, and the House a majority report recommending passage of a "rip per" bill to wrest patronage in the Indiana Department of Revenue from Handley and place it in the hands of a Democratic-controlled state finance board.

Bontranger's bill would ban state officers or employes and their families from being convention delegates, bar proxyvotes from being cast, and prohibit offering jobs as inducements to secure votes. Explains Bill Bontragersaid the bill was his answer to the direct primary system proposed in another legislative bill. He said he believes the convention system is "by far a better -system -than a direct pri mary" Sen. David Rogers (D-Blooming-ton) tried to amend the time law repeal measure by postponing action until 1961 pending a committee study. But Senate members adopted a motion to table his amendment proposal by voice vote, and the bill passed to third reading and a final showdown in the Senate.
