A. WILLIAMSON, Secretary. (Seal) Monroe Printing Pressmen and Assistants Union No. 335. The controversial section 38 of house bill 583 by Huckabey and Womack, covering income taxes assessed against non-residents on money made in Louisiana finally got out of com- mittee and into the house in amended form.

The provision requiring to withhold from stock) holders and employes living out of the state the amount due for income tax under the bill was stricken out, General Attorney Thomas H. Milling pleaded for the striking out of the levying clause, declaring that the stale was trying to collect income taxes on dividends on which income taxes had already been pa.d. They were paid by the company on its general profits. Undoubtedly, be said, non-residents who earned dividends cm Louisiana investments had to pay income taxes on these dividends in their residence If they were required to pay on them in Louisiana, this would amount to triple W.

He said that his concern had salesmen in 48 atatea and could not I possibly withhold income Ux money from their salaries without large office expense. He said the wrought by the bill were out of ail proportion to the benefits received. The committee cut out the withholding clause and repented the bill favorably.

Some were of the opinion that it had also cut out the levying jj clause in the same amendment, but the committee fell sale on that point It may be that the process of collecting the tax will be something like that employed by Arkansas which non-residents pa- an income tax act money in Arkansas. The state sends out income tax or ms to these non-res dents And if the income tax is not paid seizes their property in the state.
