proposal for pooling at option of the
farmers, opposing delegates told the

lead to certain failure The attack
on optional pooling was opened by l..
P. Bailey, chairman of the Kansas or

growers association of America, which
stands for 100 per cent pooling, but
announced it's willingness to COM
promise on 3s 1-3 per cent.
Mr.. Bailey declared that effective

be accomplished without a pool and
characterized pooling as the missing
link in farmers marketing r. C.

issue with Mr.. Bailey. He said he was
convinced that the Kansas Farmers

smooth sailing Of municipal financial
matters when it failed to make the
$31.025 additional appropriation re-
qucsted for the city light plant Mon

point where certain steps we're neces-
sary to make ali ends meet until ap-
preparations are made The board OF
works advised the city controller

Appraisers appointed by the city re-
ported that the total valuation Of the
property damaged would amount to
s13,510. With the city attorney absent

to Glen Miller park to view work be-
ing done on the lake. Council recent
" appropriated $4,000 for the improve

STATE INCOME TAX

The convention has decided to write
in the constitution an income tax
provision, but not quite in the same
form as first proposed.
Under the provisions Of the article,
the legislature can only levy such a
tax by a two-thirds vote Of ali mem
bers Of both houses, and the proposSt
tax, if it passes the legislature by the
two thirds majority, can not go into
effect until January /, 1925.
There vas a spirited fight on the
proposition, and the final phrases Of
the matter is yet to come up for con-
sideration. A sub committee Of the
committee On taxation worked hard
on the same measure, and as SUBMIT
ed to the full committee the provision
reads as follows:
Taxes may be imposed at uni
form rates upon. or with respect to
net receipts, earnings, profits and in
come, from whatever source derived.
But when imposed, such taxes shall be
in lieu of taxes on intangible proper
ty and licenses on professions, and
may be in lieu of such other taxes as
the legislature may prescribe; pro-
vided, that in computing taxable in
come, there shall be exempted the
rents and revenues accrued directly
from property on which direct taxes
have been levied and paid, and reason
able personal exemptions may be
granted; provided, further, that no
law imposing an income tax shall be
enacted prior to January l, 1925, nor
except upon the evote of two-thirds
of the members elected to each house
of the Legislature.

division shall impose an income tax."
