During the twelve weeks
the legislative session. 1.065 bills
have been introduced, of th_>
number 27« have passed both
houses and 40 were sent to the
Govencr for h-s signature this
last week The most optimistic
mem hers say that we will be here
three weeks longer, or until
April 27
On Friday the house completed
action an the major* tax revenue
program and sent it ever to the
senate
House bill 57«. which would
raise an e--•..mated 10 and 4/10
million dollars per year and
Which steps up the personal state
income tax and broadens the tax
base, was passed by a 31 to 27
ma. mty Passage of any bill in,
the house req—res a yes vote of
31 of the 60 members. This tax.
plan is as follows. Total income >

hotly debated upon the floor

in ail income brackets It was
brought out. by the author of
tiw tall, mat each family with an
income of $5000 should pay a
state tax income equivalent to
the amour.: needed for the basic
schocl support fund for one child
Tne second tax bill considered
Frxiay was HB 539. thi cigarette
tax bill, which was passed by a
41 to 16 vote Revenue from th^s
bul is estimated a: $10.100.000
per biennium.
The senate may amend tax bilLs
by changing the rates or the per­
centages but they can not re­
write them. The law states that
all revenue bills must originate
in the house House tax commit­
tee chairman. Rep Loran Stewart,
said that the tax committees of
both houses are in favor of hav­
ing a special election if referen­
dum petitions are filed against
these tax bills. Legislation for
the special election, if needed, is
being drafted by the house tax
committee If the tax bills are de­
feated by the people at a special
election, it is very probable that
the Governor will call a special
session of the legislature, for the
purpose of again trying to bal l
ance the budget.
Senate bills number 440. 441
and 443 and senate joint resolu­
tion 23. introduced by Senator
Omart. concerns restrictions on
school bond elections. These bills
propose that school bond elec­
tions require a 30*e turn out of
the voters, that a 60*^ majority
vote be necessary to approve a
bond issue and that the election
coincide with the primary or gen­
eral election dates, also that only
property owners be allowed to
vote on school bond elections I
mentioned these measures in my
last letter and my purpose in go­
ing over them again is because I
want any of you. who have defi­
nite opinions on these issues to
write to me If these bills come
out of the senate committee, we
will vote on them in the house
and your ideas will be appreci­
