I guess I should feel ashamed for enjoy ing it so much. ” Official bothered about exemptions for country clubs United Press International AUST IN — The chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee said Tuesday lie was upset that the state comptroller’s of f ice decided to exempt country club dues from a new state sales tax on amusements. “The reason I’m upset is that we didn’t want someone to be able to say here we are taxing a poor kid going to the movie, but not the millionaire going to the country club,”’ said Rep. Stan Schlueter, D-Killeen. “That’s a big deal, that’s a big hit (on revenues), ’ said Schlueter, not ing that some country club dues range as high as $1 (),()()() per year. But Claudia Stravato, deputy comptroller, said a tax policy com mittee within the comptroller’s of fice decided country club dues should not be taxed because they are “purely social in nature and not an amusement.” She said fees collected for golf and tennis at country clubs are taxed. But Schlueter saitl it was the Leg islature’s intent that country club dues be taxed as an amusement. “In the future, if you have any problem understanding what the bill meant, call me,” Schlueter told Stra vato. Meanwhile, Schlueter’s commit tee, the primary architect of the re cord $4.6 billion tax bill passed last summer, got some negative feed back from the comptroller’s office on the massive tax bill. Stravato outlined several prob lems experienced by consumers and merchants. She said the comptrol ler’s office has logged 121,000 tele phone calls about the new taxesj has hired H5 of the 120newwotlt needed to administer them One problem, she said, is state is being forced to issue sales permits to some 10,000 chil who are newspaper carriers Texas. Stravato said the new taxon paper sales is causing headaches!) cause parents are being f orced ten sign contracts for their childrenn newspapers who now come ui the sales tax. The paper carriers, inanyofii them minors, also must collect keep detailed records on sales j receipts. “We simply would like toseeik exemption restored,” said Stravaii She said the comptroller’s a(| has asked the attorney general's flee for an advisory opinion onili constitutionality of the newspape tax. She said lawyers forthecon| trailer believe the tax may be uni® stitutional because it impedes First Amendment rights of nensp pers. Stravato also said merchantsnt having trouble figuring the newo# eighth sales tax because of the oJi numbered rate. “That is our most consistent c® plaint,” she said. “They can’t co» pule it in their heads and many® chines can’t compute it.” If merchants round down thefs ure, they must make upthedefa and if they round it up, the exra must be paid to the state, she said Maverick minister arrested at the altar United Press International PITTSBURGH — A fired min ister who locked himself in a church for more than a week was arrested on the altar by sheriff’s deputies Tuesday and carted off to jail to serve a 90-day sentence for defying a court order. “I must obey God and not man,” the Rev. D. Douglas Roth told Alle gheny County Common Pleas Judge Emil Narick in refusing to comply with a court order barring him from preaching at the Trinity Lutheran Church in Clairton. “I will not talk to courts that have corrupt decisions that interfere with religion,” Roth said. After the 20-minute hearing, Na rick fined Roth $1,200 and sent him off to a Pittsburgh jail to serve a 90- day sentence on civil contempt charges. “He can purge himself at any time,” Narick said. “He has the key to the jailhouse in his pocket.” Narick said everyone hi list obey the law, adding that Roth would be freed if be promised to comply with the court order. “To do otherwise would make a mockery of the law,” he said. “When you make announcements to the public about disobeying the law ... you must accept the consequences,” referring to Roth’s Sunday sermon in which he said: “I am not called to appear before courts and judges.” Roth was suspended on Oct. 17 by Bishop Kenneth May of the West Virginia-Western • Pennsylvania Synod of the Liitheran Church for supporting the Denominational Ministry Strategy, a controversial clergymen’s activist group. Since his suspension, Roth has de livered a sermon every Sunday in defiance of May’s order, but on Nov. 2 Narick upheld the bishop’s action and ordered Roth to stop preaching. Roth ignored the judge’s order and barricaded himself inside his former church Nov. 5, skipping a Friday hearing on a contempt of court citation. The minister had previously said if he were to be arrested for defying the court order, he must be taken from his altar. Two Allegheny County sheriff’s deputies arrested Roth Tuesday church. morning M ay said he had appointed a flit member committee to investiga whether Roth is guilty of “willful ds regard of the constitution and laws" of the church. trot The maximum penalty woi “disposition,” barring him heading any church in the Lutheit Church in America.
