Sweeping Tax Change Eyed In Minnesota MINNEAPOLIS U) - A broad revision of Minnesota's tax struc ture aimed at giving "direct in centive to expansion of investment and employment" was proposed today by the governor's tax study committee. The report, to go before the leg islature convening Jan. 8, says its adoption would "provide Min nesota with an equitable and com petitive tax system." The commit tee was made up of labor, busi ness and farm representatives. Principal of the recommenda tions is for abolition of the state s personal property tax on manufac turers' inventories, farm stocks of grain and livestock, and household goods. The group also urged re peal of the $5 head tax now paid by all persons filing income taxes and improvement of the assess ment system, looking toward use of market values as a basis for taxation all over the state in 1964 a against the present system of assessment valuations.
