Tobacco Tax
Law Eyed
Enactment of a tobacco tax that
would raise. approximately, $750r
000 annually, and a so-called
tithing law that would return to
the state In excess of $1,500,000
during the biennium, were con
sidered rioualy by tho Joint
ways and means committee here
last night as a method ot wiping
out the state eficlt now aggregat
ing more than $4,000,000.
The suggestion also was made
by Senator Strayer that all budget
requirements for the years 1931
and 1932. as they pertain to sal
aries, wages and operating ex
penses of the various state Institu
tions, departments, boards and
commissions, be .kept within the
appropriation authorized for the
years 1929 and 1930. Although
no definite figures were available.
It was estimate dthat this action
onthe part of the ways and means
committee would save the state
many thousands of . dollars.
The tithing bill, as prepared t7
Senator Bennett, . proposes that
the state treasurer shall set up in
his office what would be known
as a deficit fond.- Against this ar
bitrary figure would be credited
five per cent of the receipts of all
state departments, boards nd
commissions. .M The lsw would
operate until the deficit Is wiped
out and the state la on a sound
financial basis.

The superintendent presented
sketches of a suitable plan drawn'
by. Lyle Bartholomew,-school ar
chitect, at Hog's request. The
plans shown called for a 29 by 62
foot addition on the south end of
each of the buildings. Like the
main - building, each addition
would contain basement and two
stories and the finish would match
the original structure. A rough
estimate placed the cost at about
$35,000 for the two-wings.

The basements of the winrs
