“These are sympathy cards for my friends at
t.u. 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
