The chief executive Of the island

he had oppressed labor and outlined
his future policy toward the working

"The revolutionary agitations of

a request to Governor G.. G. Young
by the State Tax Commission that
the legislators be summoned for
consideration of series of amend

banks and intangible assets.
The decision of the Tax Commits
sion was announced by Irving Mar
tin, chairman. Politicians here
were of the opinion that Governor
Young would call the legislature in
session within 60 days.
1t was pointed out that the Tax
Commission was created by the last
legislature on recommendation of
the governor and it was assumed
that the executive was acquainted
with the move made last night as
he spent Friday in conference with
the commission discussing taxation
questions.
While in San Francisco the gov
ernor refused to comment on the
conference and its findings, saying
he would wait until the matter was
formally before him.
Vote in November
The proposed amendments, if ap.
proved at the special session weuld
be placed before the voters at the
November election.

The proposals would abolish the
present franchise tax and substitute
a tax on net income of the corpora

personal property taxes paid by
them.
As a part of the general scheme
there will be recommendation for
an intangible securities tax of not
over four mills. This, the state

of a constitutional amendment as
the present provision is deemed UNI
