Whether this sort of a program will stand up or not cannot be foretold at this time. The senate so far has not made any serious changes in the school bills, having only offered amendments to further insure the preservation of the fund for the main property taxes. It is probable that the bills in their main wording will stand. What the senate will do to the income tax bill is another matter. Behind the Scene at Salem By Rep.

The cost of help is more, too. Then the governor has asked for a greater fund for the penEiinoers which means another two million dollars. Even a state with a moderate surplus cannot keep oni spending money right and left for every thing from added expenses to new salaries for state policemen and keep that surplus very long. Es pecially if its citizens are insistent that the taxes be reduced at the same time. Taxes have been reduced .The property tax payer gets a little over ten percent under the school bill, the income taxpayer will get about the same and the excise tax payer nearly ss much Then, too, the intangibles tax is taken off, the gift taxes are cut down, the inher itance taxes may be cut through a bill that is through the senate.
