Higher Taxes Seen If Gates Program Is Carried Through
Indiana Governor Ralph F Gates backs a three cent cigarette tax to fund an expansive health program. He estimates the levy could raise about 30 million for health and rehabilitation, new structures and administration, plus 500 thousand for county health centers. No action on a soft drinks tax was taken. Other major costs include teachers salaries and pensions, relief for distressed cities, and higher highway expenses. He noted cities already benefit from state funds for teachers salaries and mentioned a Senate bill to empower municipalities to levy their own license taxes.
