35 States Tap New
Sources for Funds
During This Year
TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 1963
NEW YORK (UPI) - Bond
issue proposals got a mixed re
ception from voters in last
week's elections, but the unre
lenting search by the states for
funds in one form or another
has fared well this year to date.
A New York research group
reports that 35 states have
passed laws this year to get
funds from new tax sources or
to raise the return from exist
ing taxes.
The largest of the bond issue
proposals in last Tuesday's elec
tions, was the $750 million mat
ter advanced by New Jersey of
ficials who said the money was
needed for a five-year construc
tion program on highways,
schools, and state institutions.
It was defeated, although the
administration of Gov. Richard
J. Hughes in New Jersey had
said that the alternative would
be either a state income tax or
a state sales tax.
Indiana Tax Delayed
To date this year, according
to the Tax Review of Tax Foun
dation, Inc., Indiana is the only
state which has passed a gener
al sales tax. The state legisla
ture enacted laws for a two per
cent retail sales and use tax, an
individual income tax, and a
corporate income tax. It origin
ally was slated to go into effect
July 1, but court action has
delayed its application.
This review said that tax
measures passed by states alto
gether were expected to turn up
an additional $1,036 million for
their treasuries. But 22 states
rejected proposed tax increases,
which would have turned an es
timated $945 million out of the
pockets of their citizens. ,
Most of the tax legislation
passed to date in 1963, the re
view said, has dealt with the
six major fields tapped by the
states traditionally.
These are individual income;
corporate net income; general
sales and gross receipts; and
excise taxes on tobacco prod
ucts, alcoholic beverages and
motor fuels.
Tax Base Broadened
Eight states broadened the
base of their sales tax to cover
areas previously ignored. Seven
increased sales tax rates, and
two states did both.
Pennsylvania, in a move ex
pected to add $103 million a
year to state coffers, raised its
selective sales tax rate from 4
to 5 per cent, highest of any
state. North Dakota increased
its rate from 2 to 2Vi per cent,
and broadened the area in which
it applies.
Alabama and Maine raised
their rates from three per cent
to four; Missouri and New Mex
ico from 2 to 3; Utah, from 2V4
to 3, with proceeds of the in
crease allocated for six years
to a state building program.
Florida, expecting to gain $30
million from its move, broaden
ed the tax base to include nearly
everything except groceries and
medicine. Wisconsin made its
sales tax apply to a variety of
items not previously taxed. Tex
as, South Dakota, Washington
and Tennessee were among the
other states to widen the base.
Italian President
To Ask Crisis End
ROME (UPI) - President An
tonio Segni today was expected
to ask Aldo Moro, secretary of
the Christian Democratic party,
to end Italy's cabinet crisis by
forming a government.
Moro has promised to brine
the Socialists into his cabinet if
agreement can be reached on
terms. A center-left coalition
between the Christian Demo
crats and Socialists would give
the government the parliamen
tary strength it needs for stable
rule.
But there were difficulties
from left and right for Moro,
who has pushed lor such an at
liance since last April's elec-
tions left the Christian Demo
crats short of a clear majority.
' The Communists have called
a general strike Tuesday in the
capital. There were fears it
could lead to violence.
The right wing of Moro's own
party opposes any alliance with
the Socialists unless the Social
ists end their links with the
Communists and this they have
refused to do.

A 5
Warrenton Man
Dies in House Fire
WARRENTON, Ore. (UPI)
Warren Baldwin, 49, died early
Sunday when fire broke out in
the family home here.
His wife, Signe, told foremen
she was awakened by the
smoke, but was unable to rouse
her husband. She jumped
thro-igh a bathroom window,
suffering a cut foot, and fled to
a neighboring home, from where
she called the fire department.
TROUBLESOME MINORITY
NEW YORK (UPI)-A recent
11-city survey of teen-age driv
ers and their motoring habits
showed that 27 per cent of the
6.5 million high school drivers
cause all of the age group's ac
cidents. Union Carbide's consumer di
vision, sponsor of the survey,
also found that high school driv
er education is a major force
in preventing accidents. An es
timated 60 per cent fewer acci
dents were noted among those
who had taken the course than
among untrained teen-age drivers.

rwilCTY STPHOHT MUHM tffllS'tT M PWlf ,
By HARRY FERGUSON
United Press International
WASHINGTON (UPI) - Ari
zona has only five electoral
votes and that alone makes
Sen. Barry Golwater an un
usual candidate for the presi
dential nomination. Professional
politicians prefer a man from
the states with big populations
which can contribute massive
support to the cause. '
Goldwater did not climb slow
ly up the political ladder step
by step. He did it in one enor
mous leap, in lasi me oniy po
litical office he ever had held
was city councilman in Phoe
nix. A vear later he was elect
ed to the United Slates Senate.
It was sufficient of an upset
to focus national attention on
him. Stephen Shadegg, in t
sympathetic biography of Gold-
water, says the odds were five
to one against him. Arizona had
not elected a Republican sena
tor since 1920, and the voters'
registration was heavily Demo
cratic. Goldwater won by only
7,000 votes and frankly admits
he probably was carried into of
fice on the momentum of the
landslide for Dwight D. Eisen
hower. In 1958 Goldwater was
re-elected by 35,000 votes.
Meets First Setback
His first political set-back oc
curred at the Republican
national convention in 1960
when he was looking longingly
at the vice presidential nomina
tion ("I would have to have
marijuana in my veins to say
I wouldn t accept it"). The con
vention nominated Richard Nix
on and Henry Cabot Lodge and
drafted a liberal platform of
which Goldwater bitterly disapproved.
For a man whose home state
could muster only five electoral
votes, Goldwatcr's presidential
potential looked unpromising,
But he had one factor going for
him his two terms as chair
man of the senatorial campaign
committee for the Republicans.
This job took him all
over the nation. He met the
professional politicians and
made speeches to the voters.
He planted the seeds of the
flowers that are blooming for
him now the argument that
Republicans cannot win if they
are going to be a "me too"
party with liberal platforms
and candidates.
Many Speech Offers
Invitations for speeches began
pouring into his office. Not all
of them were from political or
ganizations, for Goldwater is a
Mason, a Shnner, an Elk, a
Moose, a member of Sigma Chi,
eastern Mar, Alianza, Veterans
of Foreign Wars, American Le
gion and Woodmen of the
World. He is not an orator in
the sense that he utters ringing
phrases and carries his listen
ers to emotional peaks, but he
is an effective speaker because
he has a sense of humor,
speaks out bluntly and gives
the impression of sincerity.
It is difficult to pin-point a
date on which the Goldwater
campaign ceased to be an in
formal series of speeches
("just hedge-hopping around the
country talking to people") and
became a real drive for the
nomination. April 8 of this year
may be as good as any other
date, for it was then that a
young business Investment man
from Dallas, Tex., named Pe
ter O'Donnell, announced he
was opening a national draft
Goldwater headquarters here in
Washington.
He said he was doing it with
out the advice or consent of
rented office space on Connec
ticut Avenue for $1,000 a
month. O'Donnell spends part of
his time here and part travel
ling in behalf of the Goldwater
candidacy.
Advised To Run
Sometime between now and
the end of the year O'Donnell
and members of his committee
plan to call on Goldwater. They
will tell him there is a grass
roots demand that he run for
the nomination. They will tell
him about their estimate of how
he would fare against President
Kennedy in next year's election.
That estimate is: California is
doubtful. The following states
are conceded by Kennedy New
York, Pennsylvania, Massachu
setts, Rhode Island, Connecti
cut, New Jersey, West Virginia,
Delaware, Maryland, Alaska,
Hawaii, Michigan, Missouri-,
Minnesota, Nevada and Oregon.
Goldwater will win all the oth
ers, including every state in the
South. He will get 301 electoral
votes and only 270 are needed
to win. ,
I On the basis of that estimate
the draft Goldwater committee
will urge the senator to run.
If this correspondent did not
live in the shadow of the De
partment of Justice and have
healthy respect for the federal
anti-gambling laws, he would
counsel you to offer generous
odds that Goldwater's answer
will be yes.
Next: What Goldwater favurs
and what he Is against.
